Re: Design Notes

 

To Buddy' date=' I'm glad you like Thunderbolt and Dynamo. I couldn't find much information on either and used a book on Superheroes to base them on. Dynamo is a super-agent with a powerful gadget. How he does all he has to in 30 minutes a day is beyond me. Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt seemed to me was a high end martial artist with a mystic origin.[/quote']

he WAS in the ORIGINAL charlton version however during the period of the dc comics version the DC writers tried to upgrade /retcon his abilites by saying the scrolls he studied at the monastery gave him psycokinetic []sp] power as well as martial arts skill

as a peter cannon...THUNDERBOLT purist i respectfully reject that storyline

Cool. I was considering asking for them. They're key characters in my "cut down DC universe".

 

First Appearance: Detective Comics #233 (May 1956)

 

This applies only to Batwoman, of course. Bat-Girl first appeared in 1961. (Batman #139, apparently.)

 

Some other characters I'd like to see are a bit tricky. I'd like to see at least one member of the Batmen of All Nations. Unfortunately their details seem rather sketchy. Basically, they all seem to be low-grade wannabes, with little of his equipment, but, in some cases, a bit of (rather lame) equipment of their own.

 

---

 

I suppose this is an appropriate to to explain a little about my "cut down DC universe". Basically, it draws from an eclectic set of material. Its key element is the Batman/Superman "World's Finest" team. To that I add the Batmen of All Nations/Club of Heroes, which, in my universe, eventually grows into the Legion of Superheroes (which was referred to several times as the "Superhero Club" in its early days).

 

Various supporting cast members from Batman and Superman's continuities are present as well. Specifically, as I mentioned above, Batwoman and Bat-Girl. I occasionally use obscure early 50s characters, in preference to better known characters who appeared in stories using recycled story lines.

 

Some of the characters from the Global Guardians are scattered around as well. Not coincidentally, this includes the Tasmanian Devil, who, with Ranger from the Batmen of All Nations, is one of DC's very very few Australian superbeings.

 

That Tas and Ranger are hopelessly lame is a challenge, rather than an obstacle.

 

I don't really have all of this written down anywhere in an organised form. I've mostly been carrying this stuff around in my head. These notes are one of the most formal presentations of it I've yet bothered to do. I've left some things out, and there are some inconsistencies I haven't yet dealt with, mainly to do with the existence of other Silver Age characters.

Re: Classic Comic Book Characters

 

I like the idea of a cut down DC Universe. I create characters that I've enjoyed over the years. That's why the Thorn is among my creations. I was a huge fan of hers, even though she's all but forgotten now.

 

You might want to check out DC Comics Presents and The Brave and the Bold back issues. They featured team ups of Superman and Batman respectively with other DC Comics Superheroes. They even had a Superman-Joker team up once (it did not go well for Superman.)

 

I added the information about Bat-Girl's first appearance, and you may notice she has the same abilities as Robin.

They refer to themselves simply as Scarface. I wouldn't buy them as separate entities. Rather, Scarface is an OAF for extra PRE, among the other obvious traits.

So... if scarface is the dummy is a OAF for PRE and INT....what if he pulls a gun? An OAF with a OAF?

By himself the human isn't really dangerous at all, so how would you do the casual killer limitation?

I would just attach the gun power to the same OAF: Dummy. Scarface can't use just any gun, it has to be fitted to him and attached since the dummy can't actually manipulate anything.

I saw some of the art for Yankee Girl...

more like Skanky Girl...

Sorry, couldn't resist the rhyme, but seriously, fighting crime in THAT?

I though WW had it bad.

Re: Classic Comic Book Characters

 

As a result of following this thread, I'm very seriously considering running a 250 point game.

 

Basically, I see it as being oriented towards solving mysteries, rather than combat, so the relatively low power of the characters won't be much of an issue. I might have to make sure the PCs have a few more skills than most of the characters in this thread, but I think this power level would work nicely.

 

I've got lots of scenarios that would work, both published and homebrewed, so I think it could be a real possibility. All I really need is a hook to get the PCs together and in the mystery solving business.

Yeah I agree with ya. I started playing Champions during 2E (250 pt campaigns) and stop playing for a while. When I finally came back around and found another group 5E was out and everyone started at 350 pts instead. I didn't know what to do with the extra points. I almost invested all the points into skills/talents/perks.
