The Destroyers will always be one of my all time favorite villain groups. I loved them in their first appearance, and couldn't get enough of them in The Elementals comic series. I'm wondering if anyone's taken a shot at stating out Chrysalis, and if so, what did you manage to come up with. Off the top of my head, I'd give her the following:

Chrysalis



Identity:
Side: Evil                Sex: Female
Age: Early 30's        Level: 3
Training: Accuracy

Powers:
1. Insect Powers (Device): 
a) Chysalis Armor: ADR 100 - Chrysalis' armor is bio-mechanical symbiote, that functions like Armor (B), but for all intents, is Armor (A).
b) Heightened Agility: +18
c) Natural Weaponry: Retractable wrist "stingers"; +3 to hit, +5 damage.
d) Wall Crawling: Chrysalis can use her stingers to physically attach herself to vertical surfaces, such as walls, or use them climb along them, moving at her normal movement rate.
e) Poison/Venom: Wrist launched poison darts. Victim is affected as though they were hit with a Paralysis Ray attack.
f) Special: Entanglement: The armor's wrist gauntlets project a sticky, glue like, substance that entraps her victims in a cocoon. Victim must save v. STR, on d100 to successfully break free.
g) Transmutation: Victims unable to free themselves from her entanglement, will eventually be physically transformed into a slug like humanoid creature, over the period of several days.
2. Regeneration:
3. Heightened Defense: -4 to be hit
4. Heightened Expertise: +4 to hit w/her armor's weapons 

Origin/Background: Former military research scientist now bonded with her armor.

Chrysalis' Wrist Darts



Her Entangling Chrysalis "Goo"

She fired little paralysis darts from her wrists, and a "goo" that cocooned you, and transformed you into some weird looking creature. I'll finish fleshing her out later.

In the comics, Ratman was a were-rat, and was in love with Fathom.

That was, Monolith.

From what I understand, they actually worked on the book, and even had artwork for it.

I've been lucky enough to speak with several of the V&V authors, as well as several of the people that used to play in Jeff, Jack, and Bill Willingham's V&V gaming group, and they let me know about some of the stuff that was in the pipeline when FGU quit publishing new material. At one time, I'd posted the list of all the material I knew they'd submitted to FGU, but unfortunately, the board that I posted it to went bye, bye, along with the post. 

OK, I made a revision to Chrysalis' powers, and added a few images to better illustrate her abilities. I'll dig around for a few more.

A similar feature on one of our PCs (who was recently transformed) has brought up a number of miscommunications and misunderstandings between the player and some GMs.

The PC gained some natural Armor (so you'd think Armor A), but it's more of an outer shell (like a hermit crab), so in some ways it's more like Armor B.  When recently attacked by these swarms of nanites (that can get through just about any crack), the armor didn't protect, and it led to many discussions and further exploration of exactly how this power works for the character.

I still need to clean up her power description, and toss in some stats. The same with Saker.

I remember the first time we went into this comic store (which became the shop I regularly go to) - this was nearly 30 years ago.  A friend of mine called over to me that he'd found a comic that seemed to have the Destroyers from V&V on the cover!!!  As we looked through it we saw that the action seemed to be happening in our home city of Seattle as well.  We were beyond ecstatic!
