    bubba smith reacted to Christopher R Taylor in The original Guardians from Champions I-III   
    The original topic about rebuilding the Guardians is now archived and cannot be commented on, but you can find it here.  We went through and tried to rebuild a few of the characters from what we knew, and managed to get a few done.  Because some of the original Champions players who created the Guardians are now playtesting a new Superhero game called Prowlers and Paragons, and they have printed versions of their first characters in that game set, I've gotten an insight into some of the missing ones.  So far, only Dove, Marksman, and Goliath have been posted, but they were missing from our data to recreate them in the other thread.
     
    Here's what I came up with for Dove based on that info:
     

    I don't have a nifty colored image for this one, but you can see the original Mark Williams art for the character at least.
     
    Some of the abilties and builds in P&P aren't exactly clear or certain, so I had to guess but this should be reasonably close.

    Fanboy
     
    Fanboy has the power of COSPLAY.  Whenever he creates a costume he is able to imbue it with psionic energy that makes his make believe into reality.  The picture is of him in his Dr. Science costume, a character of a fan fiction he did based on the 1940's sci-fi heroes of the serials (Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon)

    What might have been  .  .  .
     
     
    Wonder Woman is called back to Themyscira by Queen Hippolyta who informs Diana that a grave threat was coming to the planet.  Hippolyta and the Amazons have been tasked by the Gods to protect the Magic Sphere which shows the future, and Diana is shown the threat, Darkseid.  Suddenly the Female Furies attack.  The Amazons fight valiantly but the Furies capture the Magic Sphere.
     
    Wonder Woman goes to Batman and the pair begin recruiting new heroes to deal with the coming threat.  Batman finds Flash and Cyborg, and Wonder Woman recruits Aquaman.  The King of Atlantis reveals that his Trident is one of three items that Darkseid needs to get to Earth.  Meanwhile a group of Parademons raid Metropolis under the command of Steppenwolf and steal the body of Superman.
     
    The Team tracks Superman's body because Batman had placed a tracker on it (just in case) and they are attacked by Steppenwolf, an army of Parademons, and the Female Furies.  In the battle the Furies managed to capture the third item needed to bring forth Darkseid, the Magic Lasso.  Using Superman's body as a focus the items open a portal that allows Darkseid to arrive on Earth.  Darkseid proceeds to defeat the rest of the team but the energy that was challenged through Superman's body has revived the Man of Steel who fights Darkseid giving the Justice League time to return the three items to their owners and causing Darkseid to leave Earth.

    Hero Girl...Strange Visitor from another planet...   Or was it “Born with inhuman powers, Hero Girl must fight to defend a world that hates and fears her....   Or maybe.. “After getting powers from a paper cut from a radioactive comic book, Hero Girl strives to live up to the words of her dead grandmother April: With great Powers comes great responsibility.”   She could never keep track off all these retcons! Well, the next universe reboot would clear things up. Probably... on the bright side, she really liked this new costume! Tres Golden Age!   Jenny Harper was a quiet introverted child, keeping to herself, often losing herself in her father's library of comic, both vintage and modern. He'd died shortly after Jenny was born and her mother, a distant woman, retreated even more in her grief. She was never deliberately abusive or cruel just closed off. Jenny never lacked for anything she needed but affection and assurance. She grew up quiet and alone, reading both comics and reams of adventure fiction. A more physical girl might have been a Tomboy, but the cerebral Jenny had her adventures in her imagination, putting herself among the four colors heroes she read about. She was allot like her father, a fact that drove a deeper wedge between the child and her mother. She reminded her too much of her dead husband.    Sensing this but reading it as antipathy, Jenny retreated further, guilty for something but never knowing what. Eventually, she came to blame herself for her father's death. That must have been what made her mother so sad. She should have done something to stop it. A hero, like the ones she read about would have. But she wasn't a hero, just a girl.    When Jenny was 13, her mother's depression finally became to much for her and she committed suicide. Jenny found her body,to late to be of any help.    Again.    Something broke inside her. Despair, self loathing, anger... Jenny's fragile psyche shattered but something was unlocked inside her as well, a great and potent power that burst outward, driven by her desire to fix things, to fix....everything.    In that instant, the world was reshaped. To some extent. And Jenny was reborn. Now a 20 yr old intrepid reporter for metropolitan newspaper (that hadn't existed before) she had a secret identity as the blonde power house Hero Girl!    But there was more, Jenny's unstable, instinctive power not only catered to her wish to be a hero, it drew on her fantasies of being in the comics she loved, bringing them to life. Jenny knows she's actually in a comic book and her world driven by the narrative rules of the medium along with the whims of writers and a sometimes fickle public.   Being in on the 'reality' of the situation gives Jenny certain advantages. Sometimes she can read the captions and thought bubbles and get insights that would be otherwise impossible, step between “panels” and transverse incredible distances instantly and other bizarre feats, even sweet talking (or arguing) with the writers and other beyond the 4th wall to various ends.    As Hero Girl, her powers and appearance very widely, driven by the whims of the 'writers'. She manifests forms derived from stereotypes drawn from comics and the various ages and subgenres of superhero stories from brooding  Iron Age avengers to Silver Age boy (girl) scouts and her personality adjust to match but Jenny's perky optimistic core is always present. She likes the pictured version, a silver age heroine of  great physical power, the best but accepts retcons with grudging good will. They never last long anyway. Her past or 'origin' adjust accordingly as well but some things are constant. Her parents are both alive and well (sometimes happily married, sometimes troubled or even separated depending on the tone of this particular series), her father figure is constructed from idealized faint memories and fantasies of her father with her mother sometimes as a darker figure occasionally a sympathetic villain, one in need of help.    Jenny's powers are such they occasionally create other figures to help drive her narratives but usually just subtly steer things in proper direction. Her reality sculpting powers don't often alter the larger world in overt ways, most of their effects are very subtle or focused on Jenny. She is completely unaware of them and truly believes she is a comic book character. Observant characters could notice the odd inconsistencies that spring up around her as reality is reshaped to cater to her delusion and deduce what's happening. For  example, if she is a 'brick' what she can do with her strength will be extreme even for comic book physics (crushing coal into diamonds, lifting entire intact buildings by one corner, and similar feats).   Investigative efforts could discover the odd holes in her background(s) and in the histories of people generated by her powers and other oddities (everyone has heard of the paper she works for but no one can remember beyond the last copy they read and any back issues only go back a year and all the stories are about superheroes mostly written by Jenny). Psychic or magically gifted beings might sense what is going on with Jenny and the extreme but largely unconscious and latent power within her. That could make the naive, troubled girl a target for malicious forces seeking to exploit, control or even steal her power.  After all, she is still an intelligent but young girl inside and a manipulative figure could easily take advantage of that.
