PS. I love what you did to convert all of those characters. Those 18 pages were most insightful for the recent changes i am making to my Villian. Thanks - I should be finishing off the stats soon (only have a few left IIRC), but finding free time is a pain. It shall be finished one day soon however!

I was wondering , In the future I am going to do a HU Campaign and I have a few questions 1. Should I let people pick from the Night Spawn or Nightbane books ? Sure, as long as the characters are not TOO unbalancing. Your average Nightbane is going to be the equal of your average Mystically Bestowe...

Cardiac

Depends on your GM; it requires a LOT of Player-GM interaction to get his tricks, gimmicks and gadgets worked out. It's also, IMHO the hero class that requires the most "style" to play.

Cardiac

I personally use the natural roll of the D20 to determine armor penetration. Bonuses to strike from skills, powers, training, etc... will allow a person to hit their target, but you might not hit well enough to penetrate the AR. The only things I allow to affect AR penetration are things like Armor...

I'm not sure about the high damage from the water blast. I think a more usefull power would do only a little damage (maybe 2D4 damage - equal to a kick to your chest, and say a little bit extra per level), but has a chance of knocking down the target hit even if it's somehow parried (only a dodge wo...

one, the gem is not ALWAYS on. two. The Gem is only On when It feels like it. which is which and how Juggernaught got married and had a rather stupid kid. Juggernaught in fact is "invulnerable" but his Cytorak Gem gives him extra powers of immunity and immortality. three. Juggernaught has died nume...

dooms day punches with a force as strong as a 25 Kiloton H Bomb. ... What happens? in reality, As per Game stats. juggernaught Dies in One hit, The Cytorrak Gem gets Crushed and the cytorak gem Reincarnates with a new host. Wrong. Juggernaut doesn't even flinch and the Cytorrak gem is still intact....

how tough could he be if Dazzler could beat him? how tough could juggernaut be if a guy in a wheelchair could beat him? it's a very pokemon-esque world out there. dazzler may be able to take him out, but that's only because she conveniently has the powers to counter his. i'll bet she would get her ...

too bad the vast majority of Marvel characters suck. Now that's a harsh and unfair statement. Yeah, it kinda is. I meant that, generally, most of Marvel's (and DC's and whoever's) characters are not pallatable to the general public. The fanboys will have their favorites but ordinary joe average is ...

Cyclops (leader/tactics/blaster), Phoenix (controller/defender/flyer), Iceman (blaster/mage), Beast (brains/brawler), Archangel (interceptor/flyer), Colossus (tank). That team would kick mucho azz. As for the Avengers, all you need is Cap (leader/tactics/brawler), Iron Man (brains/tank/mage) and Tho...

Now returning to the point, why so many Juggernaut fans? Personally - I'm not sure. Maybe it's because 1) he's not your typical "I'm gonna take over the world" badguy - he has "real" reasons for doing the things he does. And he's not really "evil" per se (more misguided) - he has never intentionall...

Cardiac

Prices got higher, stories started to suck, and, when I got out of it, Marvel was going crossover-crazy. At least 1 major crossover a year. To hell with that. As Reagren said - the only thing Marvel has going for it is it's movies - but the thing is only a few of the characters are going to be appea...

I've never heard that the gem of cyttorak does make him immortal. A lot of god like powers, but immortlaity nahh, as well as breathing in void seem too much for him.

With all of the traffic that this poll has generated I wonder if I should post Doomsday vs. Impossible Man? Isn't that the little green guy that used to give the Thing a headache every now and then?

Cardiac

I can't help but think that some of you are exaggerating Juggernaut's invulnerability. I know he's tough and all, but completely immune to physical force? I find that a little hard to swallow. I've seen an issue of the Hulk (one where he became a Horseman of Apocalypse), where he beat the snot out ...

Cardiac

Hmm... Juggy runs toward Blob. Blob psionically links his feet to the ground. Juggy slams into Blob, moving him and a fair sized chunk of ground still stuck to his feet out of the way. Yeah - they showed that in a comic heh. IIRC in another comic the Hulk grabbed Blob and picked him (and a fair chu...

Cardiac

I go for Juggernaut - he is absolutely invulnerable to physical harm. Only psionics and extremly powerful (defic-level) magics have a chance of affecting him. Even without his force field up, he is at least equal to the other heavy-hitters. Also something many people tend to forget is that he cannot...

Cardiac

Wel, currently in Marvel they are doing a MAJOR re-write of continuity (the big "House of M" story - sort of like DC's Infinte Crisis).

So all bets are out the window on who will be back - although it's almost certain that Jean Grey will be back.

This is what I do: 01-25% No effect - the character wears the same clothes, just now he has superpowers. If he has a costume, he has to dress himself normally.

It'd be a LOOOONG fight, in which the planet they fought on would probably get destroyed, but Lobo will eventually win. He can't die - neither heaven nor hell will accept him.

Yeah, that's why I'm suggesting either a costumed acrobat in a vey hairy body costume, or CGI, which can be very well done and convincing.

Dude...who the hell is talking about "BLOODSTORM"!?!? She is a meaningless little "what if" one-shot character.

Even so...I seriously doubt vamp-storm can defeat Thor - a god weilding some pretty powerful magic.

Cardiac

Gotta go with Bats. Wovie keeps regenerating, and Bats keeps beating him down.

Batman is one of the best fighters in comic-bookdom. Period. If Captain America and Spiderman can make Wolvie look like a nancy - so can Bats.

you'll also find alot of people who want to play Mutants and Masterminds instead, and continually refer to Heroes UNlimited, and Heroes Limited after playing M&M, theres WAY too much munchkinsim, number crunching, and out and out stupidity (all from a single D20) Depends on your GM I guess. I b...

Cardiac

Looks kinds cheesey. Gotta wait till I see the actual movie to be sure though (can't tell much from the trailer).

Cardiac

Yeah, Thor would definately win. Even not considering his strength, toughness and combat advantges, the God of Thunder can control storms better than the Mutant.

Thor could counter her powers and then waltz over and flick her with his pinkie finger and it's over.

Cardiac

When I started the poll, I was thinking people would go for Pyro. I'm shocked. A better contest would be the Torch when he was amplified out of control (FF, around the 320s, vol I), and Iceman when Loki amplified his powers out of control. That'd be a tough fight. BOth of them would be pretty steam...

Cardiac

Popularity aside - LOBO would definately win.

You have someone as strong and tough as superman who cannot die. Lobo would just reach inside Wolvie's mouth and haul his metal skeleton right out of the X-Man's body.

Cardiac

Thor, without a doubt.

I'm voting Pyro Unless you're talking about Ultimate version of Iceman who no longer could turn human form again and froze everything he touched without concentration. But -- Iceman would get eaten by Pyro's Fire creations and not to mention draw out all the moisture out of the air with his heat .....

Cardiac

I'd say Iceman - he has WAY more control over his powers, and, thanks to tampering by Loki and Mikhail Rasputin, he is now more powerful than ever. Not to mention his powers are far more versatile (and he knows how to use them thanks to help from the White Queen). Now I'm not going to say it'd be a ...
