Howdy! Anyone round here who's made a version of the Marvel Comic universe Sentinels (the mutant-hunting robot kind) for Champions 5th or 6th Edition, or know anyone who has attempted this? I can't find any examples online, but my Google-fu may be failing me... The reason behind all this is that I'm going to create Mark III and Mark IV Sentinels for my current Marvel 1980s Champions campaign, and it would be interesting to se others take on Jack Kirby's iconic robots... I'm debating whether to make them Automatons or not, for example.

Back when the idea of Spider-Man as connected to a "totem" was first brought up, it made a pretty good point. Characters do have a rogues gallery whose nature reflects their own nature. Spider-Man fights many bird/mammal/bug/mollusc type villains (although also of course a lot of gangster and generically high technology villains). Iron Man fights many people in power armour, or other high tech costumes, plus a fair number of actual robots. The X-men fight mutants and humans with advanced anti-mutant technology, and anti-mutant technology that decided to move out of dad's house and get it's

His armored form can withstand ballistic penetration as well as temperature extremes from 70º above absolute zero (-390º F) to approximately 9000º F.

Through an act of will, Colossus can transform virtually instantaneously into his armored state, and can remain in that form for an as yet und -

Howlett's past is mostly unknown, but during World War II he participated in military airdrops with Captain America. Decades later, he was abducted and experimented upon by a covert government unit, who bonded unbreakable adamantium to his skeleton and implanted three claws in each arm. Initially designated Weapon X (later the name of the entire unit), Howlett was renamed both "Logan" and "Wolverine." Weapon X held him for at least a decade. Supposedly programmed to kill any human he saw, he proved his humanity was intact by saving Nick Fury's life in the Middle East. He grew to hate his capto -

Jessica has been a double agent for some time, working both for Hydra and for S.H.I.E.L.D., hence her loyalties are somewhat in flux at times. Currently she is working with the unsanctioned Avengers for now to see how things pan out. If a better offer comes along she may take it. She is not a leader of others in any sense of the word, as she normally only has to watch after herself, hence she sometimes has words for those that can't take care of themselves. Of course when she needs aid, she often pops off with a "I was dealing with it", to cover her shortcomings.
