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. /Mimer -
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 own place. So much so that some writers have had trouble remembering that Juggernaut isn't a mutant. Doctor Strange specifically fights supernatural menaces. The Fantastic Four fought lots and lots of aliens and enclaves of people who live in hidden kingdoms with super-advanced technology. In a lot of ways, particularly before they started to have all the big crossover events it was like these characters lived in different universes but would occasionally step outside of them to meet each other. And you see more of this with cinematic Marvel, where in back in the first and second phases of the Cinematic Marvel Universe it was like the comic book, the comic book universe had been fragmented with the X-Men setting...which was always a bit out of synch with the rest of 616. The MCU started with "no magic" being the one of the rules along with "no telepathy, precognition et al". They couldn't stick to the guns of course so now we have Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, the Darkhold... But what if someone pulled a Crisis on Infinite Earths in reverse on 616? Instead of consolidating or erasing a plethora of worlds so that you would end up with with thinks like Milo Morale and Peter Parker of Jay Garrick and Barry West on the same world, you instead broke them apart and ended their kitchen sink nature spawning maybe a dozen different worlds defined by the kind of origins and character themes available to the inhabitants? What happens then?

Ms. Marvel is looking to get back into the good graces of the Avengers. She has been asked to join in with the New Avengers, but she also realizes that she will have to earn her place, as Captain America and her have had words before. She hopes that now she is on the straight and narrow and is dealing with her alcoholism that she will be able to eventually because a trusted member of the team. Carol is a feminist, and often espouses that a woman can do just as well as a man, which has on occasion got her into hot water with some other heroes. Currently Carol is content to let others lead the group, but is more than willing to do some heavy lifting if called upon. -

Colossus can transform his body tissue into an organic, steel-like substance that grants him superhuman strength and a high degree of imperviousness to injury. His armored form can withstand ballistic penetration as well as temperature extremes from 70º above absolute zero (-390º F) to approximately 9000º F. Colossus cannot become partially or selectively armored; his body is either entirely converted, or not at all. Even his eyes become steel-like. Through an act of will, Colossus can transform virtually instantaneously into his armored state, and can remain in that form for an as yet undetermined amount of time. Once in his armored form, Colossus remains so until he consciously wills himself back to normal. If he is rendered unconscious, however, he spontaneously reverts to his normal form. In his armored state, Colossus retains his normal human mobility, though his endurance and speed are enhanced. He does not need to breathe while transformed, but it is believed that he could not survive for long in a vacuum. -

The Espionage specialist on the hero side of the Marvel Universe, Natalia Romanova, known to most as Natasha Romanoff, is rumored to be a relative of the Romanoffs, the last ruling czars of Russia, but nothing else is known of her family. During World War II, a Nazi assault upon Stalingrad set the building she was in on fire. A woman, possibly her mother, threw her into the arms of a Russian soldier named Ivan Petrovich before being consumed by the flames. Ivan brought Natasha under his protection and soon had to defend her from her many enemies. In 1941, Natasha was sought by the Nazi Baron Strucker, who presented her to the Hand to become their master assassin. She was saved from Strucker and the Hand by Ivan, the American super-hero Captain America, and the Canadian adventurer Logan. -

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 captors and also his fellow prisoner, Sabretooth. -

The younger daughter of history professor John Grey and his wife Elaine, Jean Grey was 10 years old when her mutant telepathic powers first manifested after experiencing the emotions of a dying friend. Her parents took her to be treated by Professor Charles Xavier. While Xavier treated Jean he also used her to fine tune his Cerebro machine. When Xavier introduced young Jean to the astral plane a part of her mind manifested as a Phoenix raptor and touched the mind of Scott Summers in the orphanage. Later, Xavier erected psychic shields in Jean’s mind to prevent her from using her telepathic powers until she was mature enough to control them. Eventually, using her telekinetic powers, Jean was a founding member of Xavier’s team of mutant trainees the X-Men as Marvel Girl. Upon a mission in outer space Jean was noticed by the Phoenix Force which took note of her unlimited potential. At this moment Jean had a vision of becoming the Phoenix but the vision faded from her memory as it ended. She soon fell in love with fellow student Scott Summers, and later would develop a strong attraction towards one of the team’s new recruits, the feral Wolverine. -

A mutant, Cyclops produces a powerful beam with great destructive power from his eyes referred to as an "optic blast". In uniform, he wears a unique ruby quartz battle visor with a lens which runs from eye-to-eye giving him a one-eyed appearance, hence the codename "Cyclops." Scott is the first X-Man recruited by Charles Xavier and as one of the original five X-Men, Cyclops has had a large presence in X-Men-related comics since their inception. He has also been featured in almost every adaptation of the team in other media. In practically every incarnation of the character, he has almost always been shown to be not only Charles Xavier's most loyal student, but also the one who most believes in his dream of mutant and human equality. Xavier is known to view Scott as one of his most, if not the most prized pupil. The relationship is not mentor to protege but akin to that of a father to son. Xavier hand picked Scott to lead his X-Men and to carry on his ideals. From time to time Scott's loyalty to Xavier has cost him dearly. He has remained by Xavier's side and eventually moved out of Xavier's shadow as the singular leader of the X-Men. -

When first introduced, the Beast — a mutant — possesses ape-like superhuman physical strength and agility and oversized hands and feet, though he otherwise appears to be a normal human being. Throughout his history, the Beast undergoes progressive transformations to his physiognomy, permanently gaining increasingly animalistic physical characteristics. These include blue fur, feline facial features, pointed ears, fangs, and claws. His physical power increases to even greater levels, as do his senses. Despite his savage appearance, he is a brilliant man of the arts and sciences; he is a world authority on biochemistry and genetics, the X-Men's medical doctor, and the science and mathematics instructor at the Xavier Institute (the X-Men's headquarters and school for young mutants). He is also a mutant political activist. Fighting his bestial instincts and fears of social rejection, the Beast dedicates his physical and mental gifts to the creation of a better world for man and mutant. He also has a witty sense of humor. -

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.
