Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine A few years ago when I was in Villainous Scum's Vibora Bay campaign, he mentioned that he was looking for new villains to toss at our group, and asked if any of us had any ideas (he really should have known better than to make that kind of request...). Well, I gave him the idea for a super- villian team that operated throughout the American Southwest, which was known as the Outlaws. While I didn't come up with the stats for the members of the group, I did give him the names of the individual members and the concepts behind them, and a few weeks later, he sprung the Outlaws on our PC team. The following pics are of the members of the Outlaws. First up is the leader of the team, Black Gold: [ATTACH=CONFIG]39545[/ATTACH] Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Next up is a husband-and-wife supervillain team from India, Tic-Polonga and Blue Krait: [ATTACH=CONFIG]39544[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]39543[/ATTACH] Both are mutants whose particular powers are identical to those of venomous snakes, in that they are both stronger than a normal human, possess incredibly fast reflexes, and are capable of producing lethal venom within their bodies, which they are able to use as a weapon. In Blue Krait's case, the venom produced by her mutant physiology is a potent neurotoxin, which she is able to introduce into a victim's bloodstream by slashing him or her with the razor-sharp fingernails on her hands. Tic-Polonga's body, on the other hand, is able to produce a deadly hemotoxin, which he delivers by means of the retractable "fangs" built into his gauntlets. The gauntlets are connected to his body by means of a cybernetic/prostethic interface, which allows the venom produced by his body to be stored within resevoirs housed in the cuffs of the gauntlets. Both are vicious killers who have accepted assassination contracts from VIPER in the past, and have gained a reputation in the Far East as assassins to be feared, particularly in the law-enforcement and political communities. Tic-Polonga's criminal identity is derived from a local name for a species of pit viper known as Russell's Viper. Major Tom 2009

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Nitro, the speedster PC in Villainous Scum's Vibora Bay campaign: [ATTACH=CONFIG]39512[/ATTACH] This isn't what the paper drawing looks like; unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce the design that was actually used for Nitro's costume, so I had to come up with a new design that could be done with F2011.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Here's an alien beastie suitable for either Champions or Star Hero campaigns -- the Soultaker: [ATTACH=CONFIG]39508[/ATTACH] The Soultaker -- so called because of its ability to feed upon the mental energy of its victims -- is a huge (20 feet long or longer) serpentine life-form possessed of formidable psionic abilities. The first of these abilities is its ability to track its victims by their mental "scent" (brainwave frequency), which it can do from a great distance (at least 5 miles away for the older and stronger members of the species); this is similar to a Terran shark's ability to sense even the smallest amount of blood at a distance. The Soultaker also possesses the ability to gen- erate a kind of psionic "white noise" which prevents its victims from registering its presence with their normal senses -- hearing, sight, and smell -- until it is within striking range. Once it is in position to strike, the Soultaker rams its victim from behind, using its tentacles to restrain the victim's limbs while its jaws clamp onto the victim's head. Once its victim has been rendered helpless, the Soultaker begins to ab- sorb its mental energy, a process which can take up to five minutes and which invariably leaves the victim alive but brain-dead. Only after it has finished ab- sorbing its victim's mental energy does the Soultaker use its powerful tongue to pierce its victim's skull, at which point it proceeds to liquefy and consume its brain. Although the Soultaker can feed upon the mental energy of any mammalian life- form, it prefers to stalk and feed upon sentient lifeforms, as their mental energy is far "tastier" to it than that of a non-sentient animal.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Scarabus, a power-armor wearing supervillain from Egyptian World: [ATTACH=CONFIG]39507[/ATTACH] A brilliant engineer and roboticist, Scarabus normally pursues his own goals; on the rare occasions when he teams up with the Dark Pharoah, however, his threat potential becomes even greater than it would otherwise.

Re: Madame Echidna, maker of Monsters (1239 pt Mastervillain) Talk about your femme fatales... It's a good thing that Madame Echidna is limited to the Champions Universe.
