  1. Re: What other anti-human hate groups exist besides the anti-mutant ones? There were several arcs that involved in The Avengers that dealt with it as it came up in the X-Men.

  5. Re: Damaging a Focus And then you'll never have the "Tony Stark in the f'd up armor" stories.
  6. Re: Damaging a Focus It's primarily meant for Champions where you have Iron Man clones running around whose armor can be damaged and slowly rendered mostly useless.
  7. Re: Critique my base please I might allow it if it is a one-off plot mechanism to aid in the defeat of a villain/situation, but therein is also the slippery slope of "precedent".
  8. Re: Running older scenarios No version of Destroyer is meant to be taken on out of the gate. He's someone you build up to.
  9. Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore There used to be a place here in town that made fish 'n chips with orange roughy. I miss that place.

The suits are built under, and licensed to various organizations, though the auspices of Project: Tinman. The Tinman project was begun under the DOD utilizing the minds the likes of David Wainwright (ref.: Warmonger), Charles Scott (Scott Enterprises), Jordan Kendall (Kendall Industries), and many others, in order to create powered combat suits for the military. The red armor's primary combat ability are two cybernetic "whips" that are used to wrap around a given target. If further pacification is necessary, an electrical charge, much like a taser, is sent into the whips. Note: The Red Coil was originally built to be a non-lethal combat suit for a player.

    Most PCs...

    Re: Most PCs... Probably because after the first half-phase action that ended your phase, you were kind of left hanging with that unused second half-phase action because your phase had ended.
  16. Re: Any ideas for a character leveling system based on experience points? You can do levels with a class-less system. Honestly, I don't feel the Hero System, or games run with it, need a level system.
  17. Re: "Neat" Pictures Canadians make good translators between Americans and the British.
  18. Re: invisible only to the minds eye Spatial Awareness is from the Unusual Sense group.
  19. Re: Fire and forget (really, really forget) Perfect assassination.
  20. Re: invisible only to the minds eye Mind Scan an area to see if there's any minds around.
  21. Re: "Neat" Pictures ...and pantyhose. Can't show that much bare leg on prime time TV.
  22. Re: Jury-Rig bio-junk Healing Well, you could spend the XP to have someone else do it to you.

    Snippets

    Re: Snippets Silver The Antares Gray Metallic Lamborghini Aventador pulled up to the valet stand. A dark haired girl in a red vested uniform dashed around to open the driver's door. Long legs in silver stiletto heels swung out and a liquid silver dress that matched the shoes flowed down over those long legs when the driver exited the car. “Be sure that you are the one that brings it back to me,” the driver said in an English accent. “Yes, ma'am,” the girl responded before slipping into the car. When her car had been taken the woman stepped quickly, without appearing to hurry, to the curb. She caught her impeccable reflection in the door before another valet opened it for her. Her platinum blonde hair was full and bounced below her shoulders. Her dress showed a distracting amount of cleavage, furthering the distraction of her legs flashing when she walked. Her makeup was done in frosted shades to accent the silver look. Pink for her lips and a hint of dusty rose eyeshadow. She smiled at the valet who held the door open for her. Inside the restaurant she quickly scanned the crowd, looking for the man who invited her here. She spotted him holding a martini glass, leaning over the railing to look down on the people below him. That's a bad habit you have there, Steven, she thought to herself. She took her time ascending the stairs. When she approached him, Bauer deigned to notice her. “Lady Silver,” he said with a slight nod of his head. “I trust this is a public enough meeting place for you.” “If it wasn't, Steven, I wouldn't be here. What is it you want?” Short, direct, and no opening for misinterpretation. “Is it going to be like that, Rose?” Bauer made a put-upon sigh. “As you wish. I have a project in the works and since those other jobs you did for me worked out so well, I thought you might like to be involved.” Rose Silver thought for a moment and nodded her head. “Standard fee. Per job.” Bauer pursed his lips and then said, “Alright. Special conditions though. On each one.” Rose's eyes narrowed. “'Special conditions'? Is this a game to you, Steven?” Bauer laughed. In a Southern drawl he said, “Of course it is, darlin'. Would you like a drink?” She gave him an annoyed look. “I don't drink when I'm working. What's the first job?” Setting his glass down on a small cocktail table, Bauer reached down and lifted a small briefcase from the floor and sat it beside the glass. He thumbed the latches and opened it. From within he pulled out a netbook and what appeared to be a ring box. Closing the case he set those items on top of it. “The information for the first target is already loaded on it. When you complete the job delete the file. I'll be notified and payment will be transferred to your account. When the next assignment is ready, the file will be sent to you. Acceptable to you?” “It will do.” Rose opened the computer and turned it on. It booted quickly. On the desktop was a single file. She opened it and scanned the first page. “She looks like someone's office sex toy.” “She may very well be. However, that isn't my concern,” Bauer stated. She continued to scan through the available information. “And the 'special condition'?” Bauer quirked up the corner of his mouth in a bit of a smile. He took a drink of his martini, making Rose wait for his answer. He set the glass down again and plucked out the olive. “This one you take one shot. Hit. Miss. Whatever, but you only take a single shot.” Her eyes narrowed again. “I don't miss,” she said heatedly. “Not my point, Rose. This target isn't a kill target. You're the opening move. You are the message to my opponent that the game is afoot, so to speak,” Bauer said with a grin. Rose's eyes became harder. She didn't like being used and this smacked of it to her. Unfortunately, she had already given her word. Going back on it now would damage her reputation. That wouldn't do. “What's this?” she asked, indicating the ring box. Bauer shrugged. “A token of your place on the board.” Rose picked up the box and flipped the lid over. Inside was an obsidian chess piece. A knight. She closed the lid. “It appears everything is in order.” She turned to leave, box and computer in hand when Bauer caught her arm. “There is one more thing, Rose. I'd like to consummate this agreement, if you don't mind.” “You would do well to remember that this Rose has thorns, Steven. Remove your hand before I remove it from you.” Bauer slowly released her arm. He knew that she had not misspoke and that, if he were normal, she most likely would succeed. “As for consummating anything with you, I may be working for you for now, but I am better than any woman you will ever have again. From what I have heard, the only way you can get a decent woman to go to bed with you is to have her mind controlled. “I have accepted your job. Leave it at that.” Rose Silver turned back to the stairs and descended at a comfortable pace. At the curb, she was pleased to see the girl that had taken her car rush to retrieve it. When they traded places she handed the girl several folded hundred dollar bills.
