Re: The Invisibles Writeups... no REALLY!! (NOT the Incredibles!) I think it's viable, but I don't have HD to help you. CES

Re: Justice League Avengers, Assemble! Manhunter: Dr. Sam Erdel wanted to reach out and touch the stars with his experimental teleporter. The beam played through the solar system, touching on an artifact on the surface of Mars. Dr. Erdel was astonished to find that he had found a cybernetic organism that had survived the extinction of all life on the red planet. The cyborg activated, scanned its surroundings, and decided to learn to live with the humans. It adopted an identity as detective Jim Jones to blend in and protect the innocent with its martian powers. Mariner: Arthur Namor was the product of a liason between an Alantean Princess and a sailor. He grew to manhood unaware of his heritage until he fell into the ocean near his home on the upper world. He quickly learned he had the ability to command the surrounding sea life as well as being able to swim almost as fast as a plane could fly through the air. This coupled with his great strength and immunity to the depths allows him to operate as the defender of the seven seas. Arrow Witch (Scarlet Witch/Green Arrow): Wanda Queen always had an eye for archery, but it was a leisure activity until she was stranded on a desert island. She honed her skills to survive, which awakened her mutant ability. Arrows went wherever she aimed, and when they struck, strange effects were bound to happen. Discovering a band of pirates landing on her island, Wanda adopted the identity of the Arrow Witch to rout them and return to the mainland.

Re: The 'Elminster' of Hero: Harbringer of Justice? You're right, CO. Looking it up, the Sandman, Dark Angel, and others came with later books. Sorry about that. CES

Re: The 'Elminster' of Hero: Harbringer of Justice? What about the other three vigilantes in the original edition? I believe that the Sandman (blanking on the name) is built on the traditional 250 points. I think that section was the difference of point values that could be used to build a street focused character. CES

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... In the ftf HU game I am running on Saturdays, two of the PC's have been killed in back to back to back sessions. Chris was appointed the team leader. Chris: I don't want to be the team leader. The team leader gets killed. CES

Re: Lovecraft Horror Hero I believe that it was 4th ed champions in 3d. It was a transform and a ego drain. CES

Re: Mystical artifacts There's Shugosin's twin swords, as well as the sword of the thunder king, tenshi the ghost cutting sword, the storm lord'svajra, the mandragore (SP?) from GC. I hope that's a help Dave. CES

Re: Youngblood trivia 12 of them? Yeegads, what a pig of a team that must have been. I haven't even heard of half of those names. Were they all there at the same time or is that the complete roster over time? And thanks for replying. Cheers, They had six on one team and six on the other. Shaft, Badrock, Chapel, Combat, Vogue, and one of the guys I can't remember was on a home team. Sentinel and the rest were on a foreign intervention team. I cant remember if the teams changed that much but I do remember that Riptide got kicked off her team for posing for a girlie magazine. CES

Re: Youngblood trivia Hi All, I was wondering if anyone in Champsland remembers the membership of the various incarnations of the Youngblood roster. I know the first team had Shaft and Badrock but I'm completely blank beyond that. I don't know about the other versions, but i think the original team of twelve was: Shaft, Combat, Vogue, Chapel, Photon, Cougar, Badrock/Bedrock, Riptide, Sentinel, Diehard, and I am drawing a blank on the other two right now. CES

Re: Silver Age Superteam Archetypes? Yeah, I was thinking this re: gorillas as well. I couldn't really think of a "heroic" gorrilla to use as a guide, but then again, my own comics knowledge falls far short of many others here. Hey mike, Congorrilla might be something you can use, but I don't know. Explorer uses mystic ring to exchange minds with a golden furred gorilla. Gorilla mind in his body gets locked up, while he uses its body to fight poachers,etc. or Gorrilla Man; explorer cursed by witch doctor to be a gorrilla with a human mind. CES

Re: Knot Another Magic System! This kind of reminds me of a character from Lord of the Isles by David Drake. Some of the effects I remember were EDM, paralysis, mind control, and RKA. I am sure there were more but I don't remember them. CES

Imo I believe that is a violation of the code. You can't destroy personal property because you think someone did something. A policeman is not allowed to burn someone's house down because they think a guy did a crime somewhere. Same principle.

GL Code Part of the code is you can't use the ring to kill, you can't use it for personal gain, you can't violate the legal affairs of your local authorities, you are responsible to the guardians, and their word is the law. I forget the rest of it, but some of these rules were relaxed according to where you lived, or how you violated them. One GL was the only law on a planet where a couple of GLs had been killed beforehand, so he was allowed to use a firearm to kill a villain in self defense when his ring wouldn't do it. On the other hand he was not allowed to operate off his planet. One GL took over his planet (like sinestro) and was allowed to stay in power because his goverment was better than the one he supplanted, and coups were the natural customs of his planet. CES

Wild Dog was based in Iowa, so maybe that type of do it yourself punisher/batman might be a fair sample. Someone who builds all of his equipment at his home.

I think... Dr. Strange was beaten by a copy of Dr. Fate called Dr. Strangefate. It wasn't any of the regular AE under the helmet, but Charles Xavier. We talked about this in the JLA Avengers thread. CES

If it were me... I would take one of the characters hostage, move him away from where the villain was going to carry out his scheme, and leave a ransom note of some type. Moving up the time schedule on the plot is also something, or moving the actual scene of the crime with the limited resources the mastermind still possesses. CES

Have to agree I guess a lot of writers forget how easy it is for superman to do things, especially with his combined strength and speed. A typical thing when I was reading comic books. CES

Venom vs. Superman Didn't he tie Venom up in a girder once Spiderman made on the scene. I seem to remember Superman took hits that didn't seem to bother him. Something like "As long as he is hitting me, he can't go after a bystander." Or am I wrong? CES

Venom vs. Superman I think you are thinking about DC vs Marvel. Superman is having trouble restraining Venom, until the spiderman clone shows up. Batman didn't meet any X-Men in that, but did clock Bull's Eye. I think I am talking about the second series where the X-men show up at Dr. Strange's house where Batman is investigating, and they duke it out until the JLA arrive. Then they merge into the X-league. Been a couple years, so I could be wrong. CES

Batman Batman did hold his own against 8-9 X-men, taking out half the team before Jean Grey got involved. CES

Re: Planet Fall When do you need a character, SS?

Creator of Colossus Len Wein and Dave Cockrum created the second version of the team. Banshee, Storm, Wolverine (created earlier for the Hulk), all came from this.
