Think of Tom Strong in a white lab coat with boxing gloves on.

If I can pick the powers, I would like

Heightened Intellegence
Heightened Endurance
Natural Weaponry ( Boxing Skills)
Heighented Defence ( fancy footwork)
Heightened Expertise ( Boxing skills)
Weakness: There is nothing out there that can not be explained by SCIENCE!

..Oh yea ..also some kind of power that lets him protect innocents...like he can generate a force field to protect others but provides no defense to himself or he redirects all damage they would take to himself or something like that..

So he's mostly the strong type, but also able to control Earth?

We can probably cobble together an Earth Control power; in fact, I think there was one used by a character in the adventure "Assassin", so I'll look at that when I get home, and see if it fits or comes close to what you're thinking of.

Telepathy sounds fine; I take it being mute will be a weakness then?

A regular force field, or maybe something made of Earth (to tie into his Earth Control)

So we have a super scientist who is an expert in boxing, and a golem-like being with earth powers, and the mysterious Dr. Mysterious....

This should be an interesting group of heroes

"Dr. Mysterious powers are a total mystery.....even to himself!"

Thanks I will make up a character sheet this weekend.  We are using my house rules?

John: the Philisophe of Phisticuffs?

The Dean of Mean? The Teacher of TKO? the pioneer of punch?

ooh! Procrastinator Plagarism, who waits til the last minute, then copies your work?

when I get around to it, I'll create a character. One that smashes the living shit out of everything.  A nice change of pace for me.   

Since we kind of ended early last night, I didn't really bring this up.

Any progress on characters? Any idea when you guys would like me to run this? I know we still need to save the Earth in John's game, so I was just trying to get a rough idea, so I can start writing notes and such.

Also, is my idea of starting before America enters the war ok with everyone, or would you all prefer to just start off bashing Nazi's in the head?

awww, I liked Dr. Mysterious

I'm not sure the power levels are going to all mesh. Sweet Science seems more oriented to skills, with scientific skills (unless John was planning on him having some devices), while Eric's character will likely be more physically powerful, having some heightened size, strength, some invulnerability, etc (being a magical golem type).

One thing about Golden Age comic characters I noticed was that some were almost pulp heroes, others superman rip offs, and the rest fell in between as some kind of superhuman. So it won't really be easy to gauge power levels based on each other (imho)

the Sweet Scientist but not the Meat Scientist though lol. I like Dr Mysterious too

Cool. I'll try and look him over later today, and if we have time Saturday, we can go over him (depending on how long it takes for us to go crazy/die)

Dr. Mysterious. My Word Docs are acting up so I am typing him out.

I need to finish him up and round him out. A University Professor and the Son of German Immigrants.

I did not atke anything back. I never even rolled the power. Just shorted myself the roll.

I took Illusions and rolled the rest on the skill chart.

I'll roll another skill and add it.
