Cool. Now keep postin' more write-ups. These are fun to read!!!

How about Black Panther! Or Black Widow!

I got to go with doctor foom on this one... more to the point... my players will have a chance against any characters posted...if I do an arcade cross over.

It really works well for the system, and for the characters...

while you cant stat a character like Hulk or Thor without getting into the really high stuff a rolled up pc would have almost no chance of getting the perfect rolls and rerolls...

either way awesome job I love what everyone is doing

(end segway)

If it's any consolation, I think yer Power Man and Beast are actually tougher than their official carryin' caps from da early 1980s!

BTW: Who said I was consternated? I jus' didn't seem to get the contextual approach y'had for yer write-ups. (It's not like y'ain't commented on mine or others as well for clarity and such.) Plus, wazn't you the one who thanked me fer pointin' out that ye had Suzie Richards doni' only 1-4 damage w/her force field attakcs before da revamp?

I never said make Spidey stronger BTW: just that I thought he waz tougher than Beast. Whatup?

If it's any consolation as well, Jack Herman acknowledged in his Titans writeups that Starfire's starbolts probably did more damage than Power Blast. Word!

T'challa and Natasha! T'challa and Natasha! T'challa and Natasha!

Egg-xactly. Luke Cage should be about half of Thing's strength. He was introduced as a heavy hitter and filled in fer Thing. I much prefer how you stat him--and I think that shows where he wuz at in the 1970s durin' his Defenders run and in his work w/the FF.

FWIW: I put the original Beast at 1-10 damage HTH. He's stronger than a weightlifter but doesn't lift cars, etc. As an Avenger, I put him at 1-12. But I ain't losin' no sleep over this.

Nice, a clean simple write-up that seems to simulate him nicely. While I'm thinking about it, did any of you guys read the Black Panther mini that came out in the 80's?

Just to clarify, I never argued for Thing liftin' 80 tons. I just thought he looked stronger than 16 tons: http://www.comicvine.com/marvel-two-in-one-from-the-depths/37-20461/

Yep, that one, but the team wasn't from South Africa, they were from a fictional country based on SA. IIRC, one guy was named Barricade, one was Voor Trekker (sp), and I don't recall the others.

Origin/Background: Nathaniel Essex was a human doctor living in Victorian England. A scientist of unparalleled genius, Essex pioneered the field of genetics and foresaw the coming of mutations that would befall mankind. However, his unorthodox experiments caused him to be rejected by the Royal Society, and by his own wife, who blamed him for the condition of his son, who is assumed to be a mutant. At the same time, the ancient villain Apocalypse revived after a period of recuperation and learned of Essex's theories. In search of allies, Apocalypse captured and subjected Sinister to experiments, genetically augmenting him into his servant. However, Sinister rebelled, and Apocalypse was defeated by interference from the mutant heroes Cyclops and Phoenix, who found themselves transported to the past.

Over the centuries, Essex, soon calling himself Mr. Sinister, plotted the course of certain genetic information and built an advanced base beneath an orphanage under his influence in Omaha, Nebraska, called the State Home for Foundlings.

Nice take on his billy club as a special weapon.

Bullseye (near the end of Miller’s first run)

Level: 14

Powers:

Heightened Expertise x 2: +8 to hit with anything!

Heightened Attack: +14 damage!

Heightened Agility: +12

Heightened Endurance: +4

Heightened Defense: -4 to be hit when aware and mobile

Special Weapon: Gimmicks: Bulls used to have more of these, but now it’s down to:
Blade-edged Ace of Spade cards: +1 to hit, HTH+1 damage

Weakness: Psychological Impairment: Even after the brain tumor came out, Bulls couldn’t stop thinking about that devil!

Weakness: Special Requirement: Bullseye’s Heightened Attack requires a weapon. Bulls only gets half (+7) when unarmed.
Also, its damage is only added if the target is alive (as opposed to a wall) and if the weapon's damage harms the target, kind of like a carrier attack.
For Example: Bullseye's playing card won't blow through Cap's Invulnerable shield or cause 19+ points of damage to Iron Man's armor, like Karnak's or Iron Fist's Heightened Attack would.

Weight: 190 lbs
Basic Hits: 4

Strength: 18

Agility: 24
Intelligence: 14
Charisma: 21

Hit Mod. (1.6)(2.2)(2.5)(1.1) = 11.44
Hit Points: 46
Power Points: 77

Carry Capacity: 725 lbs
Basic HTH Damage: d8

Detect Hidden: 24%
Detect Danger: 28%

Skills: Criminal, stealth and manhunting skills

Notes: I have a House Rule where you add your Level to your Detect rolls.

These are incredible. I especially like the caveat w/Bullseye's h. attack. Nice touch! No one translates Marvel better than you, Dr. Foom!!!

Hey DS,

I don't know who the Marauders are, but I'd love to see 'em.

Doctor Foom wrote on Aug 31^st, 2009 at 7:38pm:


The Marauders are villain team formed by Mr. Sinister. They made their debut in Uncanny X-Men 240, as part of the Mutant Massacre storyline. 



Here's some more detailed info on them - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marauders_(comics)

Thanks DS.
Nice writeup SF!

Sure. Anything to avoid Captain Mar-vell!

Here's a stab at Captain Mar-Vell in the mid-1970s. I'm not an expert, though.

http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/c/captainmarveli.htm

Captain Mar-vell
Level: 10
Sex: Male
Side: Good

POWERS
1. Heightened Expertise Skill: +4 to hit HTH and using most weapons.
2. Heightened Strength B: +5 (Kree physique)

3. Cosmic Awareness: underdeveloped. Some V&V modules suggest the GM occasionally give  important insights to cosmically aware players who lack the high intelligence necessary to capitalize on this power. Allow him to use inventing points for rare psionic insights.

4. Special Weapon: Nega-Bands.
A) Heightened Strength: +36, by converting psionic energy (Intelligence + Charisma) to physical strength.
B) Flight: 990 mph, with hyperflight as an option, PR = 1 per hour.
C) Independence from Atmosphere: This first-edition power to breathe in outer space (without Life Support or Adaption) applies to Mar-vell.
D) Invulnerability: 15 points

5  Dimension Travel 1 with Low Self-Control: Striking the nega-bands together sends Captain-Mar-Vell to the Negative Zone--even if this happens accidentally or through a special attack by an opponent.

6. Transformation/Weaker Form (variation): For a time, Mar-Vell and Rick Jones would trade places across dimensions. When Mar-Vell went to the Negative Zone, Rick would return to the standard dimension where earth exists (and vice versa). In an emergency, Rick would summon Mar-vell back (and they would trade places again).

Weight: 240 lbs.
Basic Hits: 5

Strength: 55 (19 without nega-bands)
Endurance: 18
Agility: 16
Intelligence: 16
Charisma: 20

Hit Mod. (4.0)(2.2)(1.6)(1.2) = 16.896
Hit Points: 85
Power Points: 105
Healing Rate: 2/day

Accuracy: + 6 (includes expertise)
Damage Mod.: +2

Carrying Capacity: 1040 lbs. (without nega-bands) / 20,181 lbs.
Basic HTH Damage: 1d10 (originally) / 3d10

Movement: 89" ground, 4356" flying

Extraterrestrial: Military. Scholar.

Final note: I really liked the character a lot more in the 1960s, with his classic space suit--before the feathered disco hair.

Moonstone



Identity: Dr. Karla Soften
Side: Evil                              
Sex: Female
Age: ?                                  
Level: 7
Training: Accuracy

Powers:
1. Light Control:
2. Flight:
3. Non-Corporealness:

Origin/Background: Dr. Karla Soften was a former associate and student of the criminal mastermind Dr. Faustus. She satisfied her cravings for power and control over others by her criminal activities. A noted psychiatrist, she was asked by a prison board to help cure Byron Becton, the original Moonstone. Using hallucinogenic gas to make Becton think he was a monster, she caused him to reject the moonstone, a rock taken from the Blue area of the Moon believed to be invested with some of the Watcher's power. When she took rock from him and absorbed it into her hand, she assumed the energy powers that were his.
