They know not from whence he sprang

They know not his true name

They only know he is everything wrong with the Iron Age.

Re: The Coming of Deth Sturm!

 

The resurection power is meant to show how he constantly gets "Left for dead" then comes back next issue. The WF is to show he's seen every Stallone, Scwhartzenhager, Segal and Van Damme movies ever made, even the ones with PLOTS! So, any suggestions on things I missed? :)

More notes that got dropped:

The Gun should be Accessible by all logic, but logic went out the window just by this guy using it one handed. Everyone who sees it will either be too in awe at the blatant raping of ballistic physics, or too fearful of getting a hernia to try to seize it from him until he is out cold.

 

Like all characters who ressurect, Dethsturm can only be forever killed a specific way... in his case, sales of his comic must drop drastically!

Re: The Coming of Deth Sturm!

 

The transform really should be 'with x limbs' to 'with x-1 limbs, facial scars, or no genitals.'

 

Otherwise how can you do the 'incredible shrinking badguy' bit where you blow something else off the bad guy every time he shows up?

 

And to be true bad iron age, he needs some kind of poorly defined energy power. That's suspiciously similar to some long-running characters power set, but nobody ever mentions that.

 

And he needs

 

15 Hunted: Super-Secret Mysterious Background, That's Constantly Hinted At But Never Explained, Because Coming Up With Specifics Is Hard (14-, Less Pow, NCI)

 

And since he's drawn by Liefeld:

 

Distintive Features: Scar Over Eye, wierd horizontal lines across forehead and elsewhere (con, noticed)

 

Distintive Features: Shoulders three times the size of his head, Thighs thicker than his waist, Hands the size of small spatulas (Non-con, Major Reaction: Disgust)

 

But on the good side, as his body can bend at any point EXCEPT the conventional joints, he's both immune to Joint Lock, AND can probably buy some limited form of streching!

 

---

He should probably have some kind of:

 

'Can only appear in the exact same pose that some other artist has drawn a character in, and with similar effects, purely by coincedence, of course. I said it was a coincedence! Or a homage! That's it! A homage!'

 

But I'm not sure what that would be. A hunted, maybe?

And lest we forget:

And:

 

Distinctive Feet-ures: Really, really small feet

Don't forget...

 

DF: Way too many teeth.

Remember, you're only supposed to give a character more than one DF under exceptional circumstances, and even then only if they're completely different types of DF. So you could give him all those (but they'd only be one DF) and just up it the highest value you can get.

 

And then I'd give him this:

 

25 Physical Lim: "Leifield" Disease

Re: The Coming of Deth Sturm!

 

What is really sad is that my current solo Champs character - (The one that is my new avatar) - Angelfire, by a basic reading of background and powers would be the female equivealent Deth Sturm*. That is not, of course, how she is being played, but she could be seen and a neosilver version of a bad Iron Age "Badgirl"

 

*sigh*

 

* Genetically engeenered by a biogeneticist and a mystic to be sacrificed at age 19 - she is half demon and half angel - a Succubus and an Angel of Wrath.

The way I am playing her is an exploration of the themes of good and evil with the extremes being in one character.

 

The Iron Age version uses her pool for nasty killing attacks, and seduces every man she meets with the powers left over from mom. (She does have a 25 Pre and a 24 Com).

To seek, to strive, to reach, to dream!

 

That and check the threads for catsuit pics and gaming ideas I can rip o... I mean, draw inspiration from.

:D

In that case, you definitely gotta do D'ĕth Blüd now. There've been enough naked girls on the catsuit thread (strategic parts properly covered) that you should be able to do her now.
