3 Here s Angel as a PL 8, 120 pp PC. My PL 9, 135 pp build felt like a high powered Warren, so here s a build at a lower PL. I m not giving him his secondary healing mutation in these builds because I think he s a better character without it. Angel is a useful character to have on a team because of his social skills and for a PL 8 character, he s pretty solid (damning with faint praise).

4 ANGEL STR TOUGHNESS +6/+4* *Flat-footed POWERS DEX FORTITUDE +5 CON INT REFLEX +10 WIS CHA WILL +6 Flight 4 (100 mph, Drawbacks: Not in liquids, Restrainable; 6pp) Super Senses 2 (Extended Vision 2) Super-Strength 1 (Heavy Load: 800 lbs) PL9 DAMAGE CONDITIONS BRUISED STAGGERED UNCONSCIOUS INJURED DISABLED DYING FATIGUE CONDITIONS FATIGUED EXAUSTED UNCONSCIOUS NOTES SKILLS Acrobatics 10 (+), Bluff 6 (+9/+13), Diplomacy 10 (+13/+17), Gather Information 10 (+13), Knowledge [Business] 8 (+10), Knowledge [Civics] 4 (+6), Notice 12 (+), Pilot 4 (+8), Sense Motive 8 (+10), Stealth 4(+8) FEATS Acrobatic Bluff, Attack Focus 5 (Melee), Attractive, Benefit (Wealthy), Connected, Contacts, Defensive Attack, Defensive Roll 2, Dodge Focus 5, Evasion, Improved Initiative 2, Luck, Move-by Action, Power Attack, Sneak Attack, Teamwork 2, Uncanny Dodge (Sight), Well-Informed COMBAT Attack +6 (+11 melee) [Unarmed 5 dmg], Defense 22 ( flat-footed), Initiative +12, Grapple +17, Knockback -3 Abilities 40 + Skills 19 + Feats 29 + Powers 10 + Combat 26 + Saves 11 = 135 pp HP Character Write-Up: Elric Layout: Hyborian

5 Here s Angel as a PL 9, 135 pp PC. Since he s somewhat underpowered, I couldn t see doing a build of him at PL 10 9 seems much more appropriate. Angel s mutant power of Flight doesn t cost much in M&M only 6 pp (the drawbacks on Flight are from Ultimate Power and do pretty much exactly what the names imply). So you have 129 power points left to spend on the rest of the build. Angel is a great character to have on a team because of his wealth of social skills. He s a little underpowered in combat but feints well and can stay out of trouble with Move-by Action. Angel flies at 100 mph with a move action all the way up to 400 mph with an accelerated move. That s a little fast, but when flight is your schtick you deserve to be quick.

6 ARCHANGEL STR TOUGHNESS +8 POWERS DEX FORTITUDE +6 CON INT REFLEX +10 WIS CHA WILL +6 Flight 3 (50 mph; Drawbacks: Not in liquids, Restrainable) (4 pp), Protection 4, Super Senses 2 (Extended Vision 2) Blast 8 (Extra: Autofire) (24 pp) AP: Blast 6 linked to Paralyze 6 (Extras: Range [Ranged], Alternate Save [Fortitude] (+0); Flaw: Limited [only if injured by Blast] (-1)) (24 pp total) AP: Flight 3 (total: 500 mph) + Strike 4 (Extra: Penetrating; Power Feats: Accurate, Improved Critical, Mighty) + Super-Strength 2 (Heavy Load: 1200 lbs) (21 pp) PL10 DAMAGE CONDITIONS BRUISED STAGGERED UNCONSCIOUS INJURED DISABLED DYING FATIGUE CONDITIONS FATIGUED EXAUSTED UNCONSCIOUS NOTES SKILLS Acrobatics 10 (+), Bluff 7 (+10/+), Diplomacy 9 (+12/+), Gather Information 9 (+12), Knowledge [Business] 8 (+10), Notice 12 (+), Pilot 1 (+5), Sense Motive 8 (+10) FEATS Acrobatic Bluff, Attack Specialization (Wing attacks), Attractive, Benefit (Wealthy), Connected, Contacts, Defensive Attack, Dodge Focus 5, Evasion, Improved Initiative, Move-by Action, Power Attack, Teamwork, Uncanny Dodge (Sight) COMBAT Attack +8 (+10 Razor feathers, +12 Wing Strike) [Unarmed 4 dmg, Wing Strike 8 dmg, crit], Defense 22 ( flat-footed), Initiative +8, Grapple +12 (+ with Super-Strength), Knockback -4 Abilities 38 + Skills + Feats 18 + Powers 36 + Combat 30 + Saves 12= 150 pp HP Character Write-Up: Elric Layout: Hyborian

7 Here s Archangel as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. Warren is still good with social skills, but unlike my Angel builds now he s also a real tough opponent in a fight. Warren s metal wings provide him with the Protection power since he can use them to shield himself (an effect like this could also be interpreted as the Shield power, but in game he needs the toughness boost). Warren can t fly at his full speed when using his wings for their ranged attack powers at a full sprint he can hit 2000 mph and he can fly at a sustainable 1000 mph. His Blast and Blast/Paralyze powers are under cap, as these abilities being at his cap would probably make him more powerful than he should be and would obviate the need to ever use his wings in melee. Warren has two types of feather attacks a paralyzing/damaging feather and an autofire, non-paralyzing swarm of feathers. Note that the paralysis effect only works if the target is injured from the feathers this reflects the fact that armor should help protect against the paralyzing effect. I ve used this sort of construction before for Wonder Woman s lasso, where you only have to save against the tell truth effect if you fail the save against the snare effect. I think this represents this type of linked attack well. Note that according to Steve Kenson, if he power attacks this does not increase the maximum extra damage he can get from Autofire.

9 Here s Avalanche as a PL 9, 135 pp PC. This version of Avalanche is much more powerful than my NPC version, since NPC Avalanche isn t that powerful or versatile. Avalanche still doesn t have a direct Blast power, but he has a Cone-Area Strike power to represent sending out destructive sonic waves. If he uses the Block action and blocks a melee attack from a weapon, I d let him use his Disintegrate power on it with Weapon Break. Note that Steve has indicated that you don t need to roll an attack roll for Weapon Bindthe Block roll effectively serves as the attack roll- so the same should apply to Weapon Break, though I d probably give the wielder a Reflex save to pull the weapon away if it was a Device (see here). Avalanche can cause the ground to move like a tidal wave and ride it; hence the Speed power. I doubt Avalanche has ever displayed Tremorsense, but it makes sense that he could have it. In Ultimate Power, Tremorsense should only cost 2 pp but this is listed incorrectly in the book see the Ultimate Power errata. I m using Disintegration as taken from Ultimate Power. With the flaw it costs 3 pp/rank. The breakdown is: Drain (Toughness) (Extras: Ranged (+1), Affects Objects and only objects (+0)) (2 pp/rank) linked to Blast (Flaw: only affects objects) (1 pp/rank)= 3 pp/rank.

11 Here s Beast as a PC at PL 9, 135 pp. This is more of a classic Beast- no secondary mutation here. He s pretty good in combat but he s very vulnerable to being surprise-attacked. Beast is going to shine out of combat because of his skills. Note that Steve Kenson has said that you should add Acrobatics to your jumping distance before multiplying for Leaping (see here). Tough is from the Mastermind s Manual and adds 1 to your Toughness save.

13 Here's Beast as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. This is more of a classic Beast- no secondary mutation here. He s pretty good in combat but he s very vulnerable to being surprise-attacked. Beast is going to shine out of combat because of his skills. He could be used as part of the X-Men or the PL 10 Avengers in particular, the X-Men could really use his versatility. Note that Steve Kenson has said that you should add Acrobatics to your jumping distance before multiplying for Leaping.

15 Here s Black Panther as a PC at PL 11, 5 pp. Formidable combatant, master of stealth, good super-senses, excellent mobility, scientist, inventor, acrobat, diplomat, leader T Challa can do it all. He s a very fun character. One minor re-envisioning of note: instead of giving him energy daggers and a kimoyo card that lets him track the traces from the energy daggers, I just gave him a mini-tracer as part of the kimoyo card. You didn t expect I could cover all of the abilities he s displayed on 5 pp, did you? Note that Steve Kenson has said that you should add Acrobatics to your jumping distance before multiplying for Leaping (see here). So T Challa can use Skill Mastery to take 10 on Acrobatics for a total of 26, giving him 11 extra feet of distance, for a 25 x2= a guaranteed 50 foot long jump. Doubling your normal jumping distance: 1 pp. The look on a supervillain s face when T Challa takes off from 50 feet away: priceless.

17 Here s Black Widow as a PC at PL 9, 135 pp. Note that she has masterwork tools for Disabled Device and Disguise, which accounts for her total skill bonuses there. Her sneak attack doesn t benefit her Widow s Bite. I envision Widow s Bite as a small wristmounted gun that paralyzes someone with a jolt of electricity. She looks like a lot of fun to play. I gave her Quickness 1 taken as a feat (the Mastermind s Manual has a 1pp powers as feats option). This is the same as the power and represents her great competence with many skills.

21 Here s Blob as a PC at PL 9, 135 pp. It was hard to find enough abilities to get Blob to come in at 135 pp! He s a really good grappler and is very hard to hurt. Blob s drawback on his Impervious power represents that his head isn t as well protected as the rest of him. Improved Grab is seriously overpowered by the book. My house rule for Improved Grab: it doesn t let you apply a grapple check result it just let you start the grapple. Otherwise Blob could hit with an attack for regular damage and then win a grapple check, start the grapple and deal unarmed damage again (in fact, with Crushing Pin, he could deal damage again while pinning an opponent). Note that resisting a grapple check is a reaction. Steve Kenson has realized that he s been messing up the grapple rules and that the resisting a grapple takes a standard action idea (in some of his early responses on grapple) was a mistake. Crushing Pin is from the Mastermind s Manual. Crushing Pin: While grappling, if you pin an opponent, you can also inflict your normal unarmed damage against that opponent each round for as long as you maintain the pin. You hold your opponent immobile as normal, but must remain immobile yourself to continue the crushing pin. You suffer a -4 defense penalty while maintaining a Crushing Pin, in addition to losing your dodge bonus against anyone you aren t grappling, as normal.

23 Here s Cannonball as a PL 10 PC. He was a huge pain for me to build and to cut down to 150 pp. In the end I had to invent a new extra so he d work better. But it may make him too complicated, even though I think it s cool. So give me feedback on that. This version might make a better NPC because he s a good simulation, but will require a lot of GM oversight. Let me go over a bunch of issues: 1) Barreling Overrun is a feature that I made up that is similar to but worse than the Improved Throw feat, applied to Overrun attacks (note that neither Improved Throw nor Improved Trip apply to Overrun attempts). It makes total sense, though. Barreling Overrun: Both you and opponents who resist your Overrun attacks must use your Strength scores to add to your opposed trip rolls. 2) Minimum Speed is a flight drawback from Ultimate Power. Minimum Speed: You must fly no less than half your maximum speed or you stall and begin falling. You can restart your Flight as a move action unless circumstances prevent it (including other drawbacks). You can t hover while in flight. I d interpret maximum speed here as your maximum speed with a move action, as half of your all-out speed wouldn t make much sense. I would say that even if Cannonball starts to fall because of not moving half his speed, the Flight power is still active so his Drawback turning his Force Field off won t kick in. Fortunately, his Super-Strength DAP means that he can get his movement speed down to 50 mph if he wants to, which means that he can move a minimum of 250 feet in a round in order to keep from falling (using the 1 mph=10 feet as a move action approximation). The GM should hold him to reasonable flight maneuverability in general- no I m in a room that s only 50 feet long, so I m going to fly in a 10-foot circle repeatedly to satisfy the movement requirement. 3) He has a high Concentration score because you really don t want his Flight and Force Field to deactivate when he s stunned. He gets one Concentration check (DC 10+rank, compare the result against the DC for each power) to keep both Force Field and Flight up while he s stunned. If he misses the roll to keep Flight up, his drawback will take out his Forcefield as well, although this doesn t matter much since any concentration check that fails the DC of his Flight power should also fail the DC of his Force Field power. He could roll high enough to keep up Flight but miss the DC for Forcefield and lose the Forcefield while Flight is still active. 4) How does his offense typically work? OK, here s where that extra that I used comes in there s no way of linking combat maneuvers and powers in the rules, so I made it up. He flies at someone with his Strike power active and rolls an attack roll. If he misses, he s done for the round. If he hits, he does damage from his Strike power and gets to try an Overrun (they can t avoid it because of Improved Overrun). He rolls the trip roll at + (+9 Flight, +4 Improved Overrun, +1 Strength), provided he has all his DAP ranks in Flight. If he wins the trip check, the opponent is knocked prone and Fast Overrun kicks in and he gets to make another Strike/Overrun attack against a different enemy. He can change directions between attempts, provided he can move in a 10-foot straight line between each attempt. If he loses, he gets pushed back to the square in front of that opponent. They can try to trip him back but Instant Up means that it won t matter, as he ll spring up as a Free Action (since it s still his action). I probably wouldn t let him use Move-by Action to keep moving if he loses an opposed Overrun roll- that doesn t really make sense. Why the restriction on only being able to link Strike and Overrun his Power Rank (10) times in a round? Without this limitation he could essentially take out an army single-handedly in one round, which is a little much. I d let him take 10 on Trip rolls against minions (you can take 10 on attack rolls against them, so this makes sense too) and I might waive the 10-foot straight line between overrun attempts requirement on Fast Overrun against minions so he can often take out 10 minions a round with this tactic, which is pretty good! If you wanted to do this without inventing the Extra that I did, you could link a Targeted Area (Shapeable) Trip power to a Targeted Area (Shapeable) Strike power and then take a few Progression feats to increase the size of the area. But then Cannonball would be able to attack almost all of his enemies every round, which would be less fun and too powerful, and it would also cost more pp. That s how I started out building him, but then I switched to this. 5) What qualifies as a significant impact for his Area Strike power? A Slam attack, for one! Or if you find a large object to slam into, his Impervious Protection should protect him and you can activate the power based on that. If you want to really alpha-strike a person/area, use a Slam Attack with all of his ranks in Flight you might have to take a move action to get far enough away to slam and then slam as a standard action (or you can slam as an all-out move if you start from far away). That will deal +11 or +13 damage to the target if you hit. Impervious Protection will protect you from your share of the damage (unless your target has some ranks in Immovable). Then, assuming you hit, switch your AP over to the Area Strike power and use Extra Effort to surge and activate it. 6) His greatest vulnerability, by far, is being caught without his Flight power up, which is particularly deadly if it happens while he s flat-footed at the start of combat. But he s a very powerful character so he can use a weakness.

He beats up minions like nobody s business and has a ton of useful feats and skills. Note that Steve has said that you should add Acrobatics to your jumping distance before multiplying for Leaping (see here). Note that in Ultimate Power maximum range is separate from Range Increment for a power- a power s maximum range is rank x 100 feet, and Improved Range only makes the ranged increment better (the Progression feat makes the maximum range itself better). Targeted Area is from Ultimate Power it means that you have to roll to hit (one roll against everyone in the area of effect), you can t critical, and there s no Reflex save for half effect (the attack roll replaces it). Improved Range Disarm is from the Mastermind s Manual and negates the attack roll penalty for disarming with a ranged attack. Ultimate Defense is a feat I invented, but it s really just Luck Control 1 (Force Rerolls; Limited [only attack rolls], Limited [only attacks rolls against you]) (1 pp) taken as a feat. ULTIMATE DEFENSE FORTUNE After an opponent rolls an attack roll against you and hits (but before you resolve the effects of the attack), you may spend a hero point to force that opponent to reroll the attack roll, taking the worse of the two rolls.

He beats up minions like nobody s business and has a ton of useful feats and skills. Using Total Defense or a Hero Point takes his Defense up to a staggering 32 or 33. Note that Steve has said that you should add Acrobatics to your jumping distance before multiplying for Leaping (see here).

31 Here s Colossus as a PL 10, 150 pp PC. He s slow, but since he has a good ranged attack bonus and enough Strength to throw objects exceedingly long distances, it s less of a problem for him than it would be for most melee characters. Especially if Wolverine is around. Colossus has the Shockwave power feat on his Super-Strength you can t be an incredible Brick without having Shockwave! Note that Ground Strike and Shockwave are both limited to rank 10 (his PL), since they re Area Attacks and thus the tradeoff rules don t apply (though there s nothing about Trip being limited as if it forced a save DC in the core book, Steve Kenson has said Trip should be limited as such and will update the errata to reflect this). If I were GM I d be nice and would let Ground Strike be a full rank 13 effect, though, because otherwise it s way outclassed by Shockwave. Note that as of Ultimate Power there s no requirement that the powers in an alternate form all have the same duration as the Alternate Form itself. So changing into and out of Steel Form is Continuous Duration, but when Colossus is in Steel Form his Density is a Permanent power and can t be turned off unless he turns his entire alternate form off. Having Continuous duration on an Alternate Form is a crummy deal in terms of pp but it s too thematic to change it.

Targeted Area is from Ultimate Power it means that you have to roll to hit (one roll against everyone in the area of effect), you can t critical, and there s no reflex save for half effect (instead you have to hit them with the attack roll to get any effect).

35 Here s Cyclops as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. His Deflect power does not break PL limits, since in Ultimate Power Deflect is limited by your Defense bonus rather than attack bonus. He s a great leader, a good team player, and can do a lot with his Optic Blasts. Hat tip to MDSnowman for the idea of how to do the visor. There s one minor rules dodge in the visor: as Deflect is at rank 12, the visor should technically have an alternate power enabling it to remove uncontrolled from the Deflect power at rank 12 (but not adding the power feats like it does for the Blast power). However, the build is simpler this way and it has only saved the Cyclops 0.6 pp to do it like this. Targeted Area is from Ultimate Power. It means that you have to roll to hit (one roll against everyone in the area of effect), you can t critical, and there s no reflex save for half effect (instead you have to hit them with the attack roll to get any effect). The Tough feat is from the Mastermind s Manual and adds 1 to your Toughness save.

41 Here s Daredevil as a PC at PL 12, 180 pp. I know Daredevil isn t actually this awesome. A friend s favorite superhero is Daredevil, so he wanted to play him in my PL 12 Marvel/DC crossover game. This is what I built for him, with some input on how he envisioned a deific Daredevil. We figured his club and armor were built by Iron Man. The club has Strike 5 because it is partly infused with adamantium and his armor is designed to help negate his super-senses related weaknesses. Ultimate Defense is a feat I invented, but it s really just Luck Control 1 (Force Rerolls; Limited [only attack rolls], Limited [only attacks rolls against you]) (1 pp) taken as a feat. ULTIMATE DEFENSE FORTUNE After an opponent rolls an attack roll against you and hits (but before you resolve the effects of the attack), you may spend a hero point to force that opponent to reroll the attack roll, taking the worse of the two rolls. The Super-Senses are taken from Ultimate Power. In Ultimate Power, Tremorsense should only cost 2 pp but this is listed incorrectly in the book see the Ultime Power errata. Analytical and Penetrates Concealment are Super- Senses modifiers there. Analytical: Beyond even acute, you can perceive specific details about anything you can detect with an analytical sense, such as chemical composition, exact dimensions or mass, frequency of sounds and energy wavelengths, and so forth. Penetrates Concealment: A sense with this trait is unaffected by concealment from obstacles (but not effects like Concealment, Illusion, or Obscure). So hearing that Penetrates Concealment is unaffected by sound-proofing or muffling materials.

43 Here s Deadpool as a PL 10, 150 pp PC. From what I ve read, he seems dumb, but it s a fun kind of dumb. Despite being a mercenary assassin, he s got Intimidate because he s far too silly to take seriously. But he s great at feints, tricks, and taunts. Deadpool has Benefit (Breaking the Fourth Wall) because, well, it wouldn t be Deadpool if he couldn t do that. His Regeneration is as good as Wolverine s, although he might miss a check to recover from staggered or disabled once in a rare while (as his bonus on recovery checks is only +7 you can interpret this as him not paying enough attention to recover fully). I ve given Deadpool Regeneration from death, which Wolverine doesn t have. Deadpool is silly, while Wolverine is serious, so there ought to be a greater feeling of danger with Wolverine. Deadpool can get killed twice a session if it has comedic value. His Regeneration ranks are split: 3 Bruised, 6 Injured, 4 Staggered, 6 Disabled, 4 Resurrection, plus 2 Power Feats makes 25 pp. His Assault Rifle doubles as a grenade launcher. Honestly, I ve taken a liking to him he d be really fun to play.

45 Here s Doctor Doom as a PL 13, 195 pp PC. Building Doom on this few pp was hard. A number of his capabilities are subsumed into arrays to save pp for example, instead of a powerful electricity aura, like my Human Torch build Doom has a weak aura by default, but can focus his suit s energy on it to increase its power. Similarly, his super-strength is in the Doom Strength alternate power slot of his main Blast power. Like the battlesuit archetype, Doom s greatest weakness is low Fort/Reflex saves, but I ve kept them higher than most conversions so this isn t crippling. Note that Radar in Ultimate Power has been errata d to only cost 3 pp (Radar is an Accurate, Ranged, Radius Radio Sense). Speed of Thought is from the Mastermind s Manual and lets you add your Int bonus to Initiative instead of your Dex bonus. Create Objects has a trap opponents function that does allow a Reflex save, so this save should be limited to Reflex DC 23. Technically, Steve Kenson has said that if taking an ability would put you over your caps you simply can t take that ability at all (see here), but I think this is a pretty reasonable construction. Doom s Create Objects power is mainly there to simulate an impenetrable force field, and shouldn t generally be used to trap opponents in any case.

47 Here s Doctor Strange as a PL 12, 180 pp PC. This was a hard build. He came out more complicated than I d hoped because he has a lot of different powers and modifiers on those powers. I couldn t resist throwing in the names for some of his spells. Doctor Strange is very powerful and versatile, by the standards of my PC conversions, but he has the usual magician weaknesses of needing to speak and gesture to cast spells, and low Fortitude and Reflex saves. One minor ret-con: here having become Sorcerer Supreme (and the associated abilities Strange was granted as a result) has given Doctor Strange Enhanced Constitution such that he has very high, but still human, Constitution. This keeps him a little more durable than he d otherwise be. Doctor Strange has been variously described as immune to aging and disease or not, so I compromised and tacked on limited immunities to these. I gave Strange Postcognition on the Eye of Agamatto but flawed it to be Uncontrolled. In my experience GMs dislike having characters with usable at will Postcognition abilities. I remember a D&D game where I had a Psionicist with the Sensitivity to Psychic Impressions power (essentially Postcognition but going back hundreds of years) my DM called it Legend Bore. As this is a PC build and will probably be used as part of a super-team, he doesn t have his Sanctum Sanctorum as a separate headquarters or his faithful manservant Wong. Variable Descriptor is a power feat from Ultimate Power it seems reasonable that Variable Descriptor could include adding or subtracting a descriptor [Fire, in this case] from a power, though this isn t quite its intended use. Analytical is a Super-Senses modifier in Ultimate Power. Analytical: Beyond even acute, you can perceive specific details about anything you can detect with an analytical sense, such as chemical composition, exact dimensions or mass, frequency of sounds and energy wavelengths, and so forth. You can only apply this effect to an acute sense. True Sight is a Super-Sense in Ultimate Power (it s just built from the base super-senses in Ultimate Power). True Sight (10 ranks): You automatically see through any Concealment, Illusion, or Obscure effect, see the true form of any disguised creature (including traits that grant a Disguise bonus, like Morph and Shapeshift), and see any deliberately hidden or concealed item (secret door, hidden panel, etc.), although the GM may require a Notice check to detect the latter.

49 Here s Echo/Ronin/Maya Lopez as a PC at PL 9, 135 pp. Her signature power is photographic reflexes, much like Taskmaster. Reflex Memory is from Ultimate Power and lets you gain 5 pp/rank of physical skills and combat bonuses by observing them being used (and the Feats extra adds general, combat and skill feats). I ve built her with two ranks in Reflex Memory and quite a few existing feats, skills and combat bonuses because I think it s easier to deal with smaller rather than larger Variable effects. Her 10 pp to distribute is still enough to master entire combat forms, given her base stats. Challenge feats are from the Mastermind s Manual; Challenge (Lip Reading) lets Maya use Lip Reading (Mastermind s Manual, pg ) without the usual -5 penalty on the Notice check. Hat tip to Taliesin s build of Echo for the inspiration for this one.

51 Here s Elektra as a PC at PL 9, 135 pp. Elektra is like a more offensive minded, stealthier version of Nightwing. Note that if she power attacks this does not increase the maximum extra damage she can get from Autofire. Her Sai s Blast power represents a thrown sai. Like Nightwing, I didn t give her Sneak Attack because it would make her weaker offensively than I envision her; a PL 10 version would get it. Ultimate Defense is a feat I invented, but it s really just Luck Control 1 (Force Rerolls; Limited [only attack rolls], Limited [only attacks rolls against you]) (1 pp) taken as a feat. ULTIMATE DEFENSE FORTUNE After an opponent rolls an attack roll against you and hits (but before you resolve the effects of the attack), you may spend a hero point to force that opponent to reroll the attack roll, taking the worse of the two rolls.

53 This is old-school Emma Frost as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. She s an incredibly powerful telepath but is fairly fragile for a PL 10 PC. No telekinetic powers in this version, since she s so powerful even without them (though it would make sense to use Extra Effort to have her power stunt a telekinetic power). No diamond form I think she s a better character without it. Tough is from the Mastermind s Manual and adds 1 to your Toughness save.

55 Here s Gambit as a PL 10, 150 pp PC. He looks like a blast to play, no pun intended. Note that since I m going by Ultimate Power, Gambit s maximum range on his Blast powers is 120 feet; his range increment on his Autofire Blast is 60 feet. Fast Disable Device is a feat of my own devising and is Quickness 3 (Limited to Disable Device checks [-2]), for 1 pp, taken as a feat.

57 Here s Hawkeye as a PL 10, 150 pp PC. He definitely qualifies as the world s greatest archer and he comes equipped with an arrow for almost any situation. But he s also an incredible acrobat, a capable leader and team player, a craftsman, and a good allaround combatant. Note that by Ultimate Power Improved Range 2 means that Hawkeye s bow has a range increment of (50x the rank in each power) feet but its maximum range is still (100x the rank in each power) feet. If you re playing a Hawkeye who is mostly deaf, he should have a hearing aid that lets him function normally most of the time when his being mostly deaf comes up, it s a Complication (you can handle this entire mechanic with Complications no need to give him separate equipment or drawbacks). Eagle Eyes is from the Mastermind s Manual and is Super-Senses 1 (Extended Vision), taken as a feat. Improved Range Disarm is also from there and negates the attack roll penalty for disarming with a ranged attack. Independent is a +0 extra on Obscure from Ultimate Power: Independent: The Obscure effect requires no maintenance from you, but fades by 1 power point of effectiveness per round until it is gone. You cannot turn off an Independent Obscure effect yourself unless you have the Reversible power feat. Signal Flares are from Agents of Freedom (a 1 pp piece of equipment). For Hawkeye, I d say he uses his bow to shoot the signal flares. Signal Flare Gun: This gun can fire a brightly glowing flare into the air. Anyone within a mile can spot the flare with a DC 10 Notice check. Ultimate Defense is a feat I invented, but it s really just Luck Control 1 (Force Rerolls; Limited [only attack rolls], Limited [only attacks rolls against you]) (1 pp) taken as a feat. ULTIMATE DEFENSE FORTUNE After an opponent rolls an attack roll against you and hits (but before you resolve the effects of the attack), you may spend a hero point to force that opponent to reroll the attack roll, taking the worse of the two rolls.

61 Here s Iceman as a PL 10, 150 pp PC. I managed to make him without a Dynamic Array, which makes him simpler than he would otherwise be. The place where this has the most impact is his Environmental Control power, which I had to give the Independent extra to so that he could use it at the same time as his instantduration array powers. The more thematically compelling way to do this is to give him a fully Dynamic Array and a regular Sustained Environmental Control power but that costs more pp and results in a more complicated character. I ve tried to keep this from being T-2000 Iceman no Regeneration (Resurrection) or the like he has a very strong healing power but it s active, not passive, so he won t automatically reform after being broken into a million pieces. I also didn t include his Water or Vapor forms. What I did try to include was a lot of built in APs based on his cold/ice schtick. He can drain the heat from someone s body at Perception range and has a nice variety of Snare and Blast effects. Technically, the book lists Immunity (Cold) as a 10 pt immunity. However, I think cold by itself is too narrow to be 10 pp the reason is that Cold is almost exclusively a descriptor of Fort save attacks, while Ice is the descriptor associated with Toughness and Reflex save attacks. So Cold + Ice might qualify as a 10 pp immunity, but Cold alone shouldn t. Bobby s Environmental Control power uses the mix-and match environment optional rules from Ultimate Power: Rather than having a set list of effects he can create, divide its cost for any given use among the effects listed, making it a limited sort of Variable structure. This makes Environmental Control more powerful, which I think is fine since it s a pretty weak effect. Platform is a flaw on Flight from Ultimate Power: If you suffer any knockback while flying or you are grappled by someone standing on the ground, you re knocked or pulled off your platform and cannot fly. You can regain the use of your flying platform by reactivating your Flight effect. Independent is a +0 Extra from Ultimate Power. Independent: Applied to a sustained effect, this modifier makes its duration independent of the user and based instead on the number of power points in the effect. The effect occurs normally and then fades at a rate of 1 power point of effectiveness per round until it is gone. While it lasts, it requires no attention or maintenance from the user, like a continuous duration effect, although it can still be countered or nullified (also like a continuous effect). This is like a combination of the Duration (continuous) and Fades modifiers. An Independent Alternate Power continues to function even when the Array is switched to a different configuration.

63 Here s the Invisible Woman as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. She was definitely the hardest of the Fantastic Four to build. Invisibility and Force Constructs/ Force Fields that can affect your allies are potentially game-breaking, and I find it hard to do force field based characters (see my Jean Grey build for more commentary on force field builds). I tried to avoid making Sue overwhelmingly powerful hence, she can t grant her teammates use of Invisibility while using her force powers to attack, and her default Concealment power is Passive. Her big Concealment power is a little unwieldy she can affect her choice of characters, friend or foe (Selective Attack extra), including herself, within a 40-ft radius, with saves as against a normal area attack for unwilling targets. She can choose to leave only part of a character concealed (the Selective power feat). Sue s costume doesn t stack with her force field, but it will help if she s caught without her force field up. Note that Create Objects has a trap opponents function that does allow a Reflex save, so this save should be limited to Reflex DC 20. Technically, Steve Kenson has said that if taking an ability would put you over your caps you simply can t take that ability at all (see here), but I think this is a pretty reasonable construction.

65 Here s Iron Fist as a PL 10, 150 pp PC. He s one mean dude. This should have been the core book archetype. If someone wants a generic awesome PL 10, 150 pp martial artist, get a new picture and a new name and you re set to go. There isn t anything this guy can t do. He Acrobatic feints incredibly well, is almost impossible to feint himself, has great Notice and Super-Senses and can heal himself. With his Iron Fist power and full Power Attack he can get to damage, with criticals on for 19 damage (ouch!). He has Speed 1 to reflect his command of chi greatly enhancing his foot speed and I also gave him a Leaping/Slow Falling power which represents channeling his chi to get a flying people, hidden wires effect. About his only limitation is that he can only use his Iron Fist 5 times and if he uses it the fifth time he loses access to that power which in turn means he can t use his entire Chi Array! I felt this was a good way to let him use the Iron Fist while representing that it is too tiring to use often. He recovers uses of the Iron Fist by going into a Trance and meditating for a not insignificant length of time. Ultimate Defense is a feat I invented, but it s really just Luck Control 1 (Force Rerolls; Limited [only attack rolls], Limited [only attacks rolls against you]) (1 pp) taken as a feat. ULTIMATE DEFENSE FORTUNE After an opponent rolls an attack roll against you and hits (but before you resolve the effects of the attack), you may spend a hero point to force that opponent to reroll the attack roll, taking the worse of the two rolls.

So this means that if Iron Man fails his save against a Dazzle: Visual effect, he should lose the ability to benefit from his Radar power as well. When this comes up, call it a Complication.

71 Here s Jean Grey as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. I find it very hard to do characters with bubble-style force fields in M&M. A key problem is that Force Field the power only provides a Toughness bonus but a bubble-style force field should protect against more than this. However, you don t want to make a character with a bubblestyle force field impossible to hurt. So Jean has a regular force field power, an array slot that adds Impervious and Affects Others to her Force Field, and a separate array slot for Create Objects. This gives her a few different options protect herself and those right next to her particularly well from damaging attacks (the Impervious/Affects Others slot), use her telekinesis/telekinetic blast while still having access to most of her personal protection, or create a large bubble style force field that can protect a number of allies in a broad area from a wide variety of attacks but that her allies can t attack through (Create Objects). In general, GMs should watch out for a character constantly wrapped in a transparent Create Objects effect while attacking through it (either because it s Selective or because the character is using Perception powers), and Jean is no exception. Note that the Affects Other extra specifically listed for Force Field in Ultimate Power is slightly different from the generic Affects Others extra listed in the core book (the extra in the core book more or less lets you grant someone you are touching a second copy of a power rather than simply extending your power s effect to that person). Affects Others: This extra (as a +1 modifier) extends the benefits of your Force Field to one other person you are touching. Steve Kenson has suggested that it should be a +1 extra to have Communication be two-way; whoever you re communicating with can communicate with you in the same way. So my build reflects that.

79 Here s Midnight s Fire, a relatively obscure Marvel villain, as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. Midnight s Fire has the physical ability scores to rival Captain America, is a great martial artist, and is very street-savvy. He s an effective grappler with a high grapple check and Grappling Finesse so he doesn t lose his Dodge Bonus while grappling.

81 Here s Mister Fantastic as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. He s incredibly skilled, as you d expect. I ve compromised between humans shouldn t have Intelligence scores above 25 by the book s benchmarks and Mr. Fantastic ought to have above 25 Int by giving him Enhanced Intelligence that accounts for his abilities in excess of the normal human maximum (i.e., it was the radiation exposure that made Reed superhumanly smart). He s also my rare PC build that doesn t have an easy way to hit his offensive PL caps (only with inventions). His inventions will be very powerful given his incredibly high Craft and Knowledge skills and his Ultimate Effort (Craft checks) feat. Note that Mister Fantastic s Protection applies against all attacks; the Imperviousness applies against only physical attacks. The way to cost this is to apply the fractional cost rules to the extra because of the flaw, making the extra only 1 pp/2 ranks. This is what Steve Kenson says you should do for flawing an extra (see here). I haven t given him a Morph power so if you want him to use his stretching ability to assume a disguise, you ll have to use Extra Effort. Speed of Thought is from the Mastermind s Manual and lets you add your Intelligence bonus to Initiative instead of Dexterity. Signal Flares are from Agents of Freedom (a 1 pp piece of equipment). Signal Flare Gun: This gun can fire a brightly glowing flare into the air. Anyone within a mile can spot the flare with a DC 10 Notice check.

85 This is the Carol Danvers version of the character, with powers based on her current abilities as an energy controller, as a PC at PL 12, 180 pp. Simple and effective. She doesn t have Absorption (Energy) because Absorption used to Boost Blast is a crummy deal for the power points, so her Absorption power was recast to Impervious (to energy) and she can use Blast and Dazzle as APs of her enhanced strength (which also saves pp).

87 Here s Mystique as a PC at PL 9, 135 pp. I know someone out there is running a Brotherhood of Evil Mutants game instead of an X-Men game! Mystique has a number of feats relating to agility and hand-to-hand combat as an AP of her Morph power. This encourages her to fight in her own form (which, at least in the movies, she does anyway) and it makes sense that Mystique would be most agile and most comfortable fighting hand to hand in her own form. Her combat stats are given for her own form the extrapolation to when she s in another form is pretty easy. Martial Strike is from the Mastermind s Manual and adds 1 to your unarmed damage. Mystique is a great utility character but she s a little underpowered in terms of raw combat ability. She feints really well, though, and can Set Up heavy hitters (e.g., Blob) nicely. Mystique has a Grapple Gun because agile seductive infiltrators are even better when swinging. Note that Morph by default affects visual, auditory, and tactile senses (Steve Kenson suggests that covering an additional sense should be a power feat). Mystique s Morph power affects scent as well. So unlike movie Mystique, this build of Mystique won t be so easily detected by Wolverine! I haven t given her Shapeshift even though she has gained this power in the comics. I like Mystique more without it. Ultimate Defense is a feat I invented, but it s really just Luck Control 1 (Force Rerolls; Limited [only attack rolls], Limited [only attacks rolls against you]) (1 pp) taken as a feat. ULTIMATE DEFENSE FORTUNE After an opponent rolls an attack roll against you and hits (but before you resolve the effects of the attack), you may spend a hero point to force that opponent to reroll the attack roll, taking the worse of the two rolls.

89 Here s Nick Fury as a PL 10, 150 pp PC. This is a fairly bare bones Nick Fury, as he could easily have more skills, feats, and minions/equipment/ devices. He d be a very useful character to have in a group, though he s a bit underpowered on offense for his PL. Note that Nick Fury has ranks of Base Attack, 1 rank of Attack Focus (Ranged), and the Drawback (One- Eye), leading to his listed attack bonuses. As this is intended as a PC build I didn t give Nick Fury minions; he can call for backup with his Connected feat when appropriate. Having a bunch of minions around most of the time could detract from the accomplishments of the heroes and if the minions are a team resource along the lines of a headquarters then a single character shouldn t pay for them himself. I did manage to fit in a flying car because, well, it s Nick Fury. You can spend a hero point to gain most equipment items as alternate power of the flying car (e.g., having Nick Fury pull out Plastic Explosives). Hat tip to Taliesin s build for the flying car idea and his exploding cigar. His flying car is built as follows: Size H (2 points, base Str 30, base Toughness 9), Toughness 10 (1 point), Features: Remote Control, Navigation System (2 points), Powers: Flight 5 (10 points), Blast 6 (Autofire) (18 points), AP (Blast 6 (Explosion)) (1 point). Note (from the FAQ) that a vehicle s listed speed is its top speed; there s no equivalent of accelerated or all-out movement for vehicles. Signal Flares are a 1 pp piece of equipment from Agents of Freedom. Signal Flare Gun: This gun can fire a brightly glowing flare into the air. Anyone within a mile can spot the flare with a DC 10 Notice check.

91 Here s Nightcrawler as a PC at PL 9, 135 pp. I already have a PL 10 PC build of Nightcrawler, but he could fit at either PL 9 or 10. This build is heavily inspired by X-Men 2. I prefer to have Nightcrawler as an unarmed combatant rather than having him use a sword. So he gets Martial Strike 3 (from the Mastermind s Manual adds 3 to your unarmed damage) so he can do decent damage. He has the Extra Limb feat from the Mastermind s Manual it s just the Additional Limb power taken as a feat. Nightcrawler s Stun power represents him teleporting himself and an enemy quickly in place to disorient (and possibly knock unconscious) the enemy. Nightcrawler sickens anyone who teleports with him in general, but if it has any game effects (like his Stun power activating on someone he teleports with him!), that s a complication. The Ultimate Power version of the Turnabout power feat doesn t require you to end up where you started. Turnabout: You can teleport, take a standard action, and teleport again as a full action, so long as the total distance doesn t exceed your short Teleport range (rank x 100 feet). Ultimate Defense is a feat I invented, but it s really just Luck Control 1 (Force Rerolls; Limited [only attack rolls], Limited [only attacks rolls against you]) (1 pp) taken as a feat. ULTIMATE DEFENSE FORTUNE After an opponent rolls an attack roll against you and hits (but before you resolve the effects of the attack), you may spend a hero point to force that opponent to reroll the attack roll, taking the worse of the two rolls.

97 Here s the Punisher as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. He s a monster if used in a street-level game and is strong enough to take on super-powered opponents. Demolitions is a skill in the Mastermind s Manual, but it s really just an amalgam of skills from the core book. It encompasses all of the Demolitions uses of Craft in the Skills chapter of M&M. It replaces both Craft(chemical) and Craft(Mechanical) for making, setting, and disarming explosive devices. It also replaces Craft (structural) for setting explosives for maximum effect against structures. Challenge feats are from the Mastermind s Manual. Challenge (Forceful Intimidate) lets Punisher force a subject to take an action that is against his interests (but not life threatening) without the usual -5 penalty on the Intimidate check. Tough is also from the Mastermind s Manual and adds 1 to your Toughness save.

99 Here s Pyro as a PC at PL 9, 135 pp. He has a versatile Blast power and a very powerful flamethrower. For anyone else, though, it s a pretty ordinary flame-thrower. Note that the base flamethrower in the suit is Range [Touch] but when Pyro uses his Flame Control AP it is Range [Ranged] instead. So Pyro can use his Flamethrower to create lines of fire that don t have to start from his location think of this as a small ray of fire that becomes a roaring inferno when it reaches its target. Flame Objects is a suggested Alternate Power of Fire Control from Ultimate Power. As the base power here is 22 pp, I ve assumed this corresponds to Create Objects rank 11, which inflicts 5 damage. Flame Objects: You can form objects out of flame like a Create Object effect at your power rank, except the objects have no Toughness score (being insubstantial) but inflict half your Fire Control power rank in damage against anyone touching them instead.

101 Here s Quicksilver as a PL 9, 135 pp PC. He s exceedingly hard to hit, but he ll really feel it if you hit him. On offense he has to choose between using Rapid Attack and doing low damage while hitting a lot of targets and using his Strike power and doing high damage to one target. He can perform routine actions at 250 times normal speed. Displacement is a Sustained power from Ultimate Power essentially a limited version of Concealment (Visual). It represents him moving so quickly that he s very hard to target. Displacement: You can create a visual distortion that causes you to appear in an area adjacent (about 5 feet away) from where you actually are. This provides total concealment in that opponents attacking your apparent position have a 50% miss chance and your actual position is difficult to detect (use the guidelines under the Concealment effect description). This power is not quite as useful as true invisibility as your displaced image is still present; anyone seeing it knows you are nearby, just not necessarily where. You can shift the position of your displaced image as a free action once each round, but it must always remain within 5 feet of your actual position.

103 Here s Quicksilver as a PL 10, 150 pp PC. This was an easy character to build he s a one-trick pony so it was hard finding enough abilities to get him to cost 150 pp! He s exceedingly hard to hit, but he ll really feel it if you hit him. On offense he has to choose between using Rapid Attack and doing low damage while hitting a lot of targets and using his Strike power and doing high damage to one target. He can perform routine actions at 500 times normal speed. Moving Feint is from Ultimate Power. Moving Feint: You can substitute twice the power rank of a movement effect with this power feat for your Bluff check modifier when making a check to feint in combat. You must use the effect to move during the round in which you feint, making the attempt a full round action (a move action to move plus a standard action for the feint check). So Quicksilver can roll a feint as a standard action at +, provided that he s already used a move action to move that round. I think it would make sense to have opponents resist this with best of 2x(rank of highest active movement power) and Sense Motive and Steve endorses that approach here. Displacement is a Sustained power from Ultimate Power essentially a limited version of Concealment (Visual). It represents him moving so quickly that he s very hard to target.

This is Red Skull with Captain America s cloned body, which keeps him more physically imposing so he doesn t have to rely on his Dust of Death so much. And what powerful Dust of Death it is. The Dust of Death is an incredibly deadly attack against opponents with low Fortitude saves. Note that being drained to 0 Constitution doesn t automatically kill you in M&M but it comes close. If you re using Red Skull as an NPC villain, he should have access to appropriate numbers of soldier minions, headquarters, and vehicles.

Rogue must have acquired Ms. Marvel s powers because the duration of the contact led to Rogue gaining the powers that she drained. Remember that you roll only one Fort save for both Fatigue and Drain. As her Fatigue/Drain power isn t always on based on this build, consider it a complication that the power in general switches on too much when she isn t concentrating on it for her to enjoy a normal romantic life, and also necessitates that she wear gloves on a regular basis.

He s a very scary combatant with great stats, senses, and regeneration. Hopefully your GM rules that Rage that gives a +4 Str bonus can let you exceed your PL limits on offense because it also decreases your Defense by 2, as Steve Kenson suggests would be a fair house rule here. If not, drop the Rage feats and take something else (say, +1 Reflex save and Endurance). Then just describe going into a rage when you use All-Out Attack and Power Attack at the same time.

119 Here s Silver Surfer as a PC at PL 12, 180 pp. You ll really have to come up with an explanation for how he got powered down this much. Steve Kenson has suggested that it s reasonable to apply Extended to an entire sense type for 2 pp at each step (no option to do so is listed in Ultimate Power, but there is an option to do this with Acute/Analytical). So making all of Silver Surfer s Mental Super-Senses Extended 7, Acute and Analytical costs 18 pp, and the individual senses cost 5 pp, for 23 pp total. Analytical is a Super-Senses modifier in Ultimate Power. Analytical: Beyond even acute, you can perceive specific details about anything you can detect with an analytical sense, such as chemical composition, exact dimensions or mass, frequency of sounds and energy wavelengths, and so forth. Platform is a flaw on Flight from Ultimate Power: If you suffer any knockback while flying or you are grappled by someone standing on the ground, you re knocked or pulled off your platform and cannot fly. You can regain the use of your flying platform by reactivating your Flight effect. Silver Surfer s Board is Hard to Lose because he can summon it back to himself more or less at will (it s still a Device, though, so if he s knocked out someone should be able to take it away from him such that he can t get it back as soon as he wakes up maybe he needs to have an idea where the board is to summon it). If he suffers Knockback or is Grappled by someone on the ground, he ll be knocked off the board automatically (and I d say he loses its other abilities as well) then he can reactivate his Flight power to get them back (i.e., recall the board to him). Note that as of Ultimate Power, Ranged Healing requires a ranged attack roll to successfully touch the subject with the Healing effect. The GM may waive the required attack roll for a willing subject holding completely still (or a helpless subject unable to move), but the subject is also treated as helpless against other attacks that round, making it an unwise decision in the midst of combat. So that s why Healing has the Accurate power feat. In Ultimate Power, Space Travel is specifically not allowed to be in an Array with Flight that makes no sense as a specific exception, so I m ignoring it. Note that Silver Surfer could add Space Flight 9 to his Super- Senses array slot (which wouldn t really limit him in any way) and save the pp on his surfboard, so doing it this way actually costs more points than the alternative.

121 Here s Silver Surfer as a PC if you re playing in a PL 15, 225 pp campaign, that is! He s incredibly powerful, as you d expect. This build would work fine as the herald of Galactus. Steve Kenson has suggested that it s reasonable to apply Extended to an entire sense type for 2 pp at each step (no option to do so is listed in UP, but there is an option to do this with Acute/Analytical). So making all of Silver Surfer s Mental Super-Senses Extended 10, Acute and Analytical costs 24 pp, and the individual senses cost 5 pp, for 29 pp total. Analytical is a Super-Senses modifier in Ultimate Power. Analytical: Beyond even acute, you can perceive specific details about anything you can detect with an analytical sense, such as chemical composition, exact dimensions or mass, frequency of sounds and energy wavelengths, and so forth. Platform is a flaw on Flight from Ultimate Power: If you suffer any knockback while flying or you are grappled by someone standing on the ground, you re knocked or pulled off your platform and cannot fly. You can regain the use of your flying platform by reactivating your Flight effect. Silver Surfer s Board is Hard to Lose because he can summon it back to himself more or less at will (it s still a Device, though, so if he s knocked out someone should be able to take it away from him such that he can t get it back as soon as he wakes up maybe he needs to have an idea where the board is to summon it). If he suffers Knockback or is Grappled by someone on the ground, he ll be knocked off the board automatically (and I d say he loses its other abilities as well) then he can reactivate his Flight power to get them back (i.e., recall the board to him). I m not convinced that Platform is enough of a penalty to be a flaw, but it s too iconic to leave out. As GM, I d probably make him take a move action and possibly roll a Concentration check at DC 10+ his ranks in Flight, depending on the situation, to recall the board knocking him off it is hard. Note that as of Ultimate Power, Ranged Healing requires a ranged attack roll to successfully touch the subject with the Healing effect. The GM may waive the required attack roll for a willing subject holding completely still (or a helpless subject unable to move), but the subject is also treated as helpless against other attacks that round, making it an unwise decision in the midst of combat. So that s why Healing has the Accurate power feat. In Ultimate Power, Space Travel is specifically not allowed to be in an Array with Flight that makes no sense as a specific exception, so I m ignoring it. Note that Silver Surfer could add Space Flight 10 to his Super-Senses array slot (which wouldn t really limit him in any way) and save the pp on his surfboard, so doing it this way actually costs more points than the alternative. Note that Steve Kenson has said that characters with Immunity (Life Support) and Flight essentially have the benefits of the Environmental Adaptation (Zero Gravity) feat.

123 Here s Spider-Man as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. He s pretty bare-bones imagine him as starting out Spider-Man. Spider-Man is quite bad at ranged attacks (besides his web-shooters), since this saves pp and it s appropriate for starting Spider-Man to be a very inexperienced combatant. Spider-Man swings at 50 mph as a move action (Speed 1 + Speed 2 more from Web-Shooters).

Improved Trick is from the Mastermind s Manual and lets him use the Trick combat option with Bluff as a move action at no penalty.

Ultimate Defense is a feat I invented, but it s really just Luck Control 1 (Force Rerolls; Limited [only attack rolls], Limited [only attacks rolls against you]) (1 pp) taken as a feat. ULTIMATE DEFENSE FORTUNE After an opponent rolls an attack roll against you and hits (but before you resolve the effects of the attack), you may spend a hero point to force that opponent to reroll the attack roll, taking the worse of the two rolls.

127 Here s Storm as a PL 10, 150 pp PC. She s very powerful on offense, particularly due to her variety of Area Attacks, but she s fragile for her PL and is quite vulnerable if you can surprise attack her. I managed to make her without a Dynamic Array, which makes her simpler than she would otherwise be. The place where this has the most impact is Storm s Environmental Control power, which I had to give the Independent extra to so that she could use it at the same time as her instant-duration array powers. The more thematically compelling way to do this is to give her a fully Dynamic Array and a regular Sustained Environmental Control power but that costs more pp and results in a more complicated character. Favored Environment normally can be used either to increase Attack or Defense, but this creates problems because Storm would be over her PL caps on attack/ damage with her targeted Lightning Bolts if she could do this (Steve Kenson says that in general if part of an ability would put you over PL caps you simply can t buy the ability at all). So I ve limited Storm s Favored Environment to providing a Dodge bonus to Defense to avoid this problem. Notable Power Stunts of hers should include: increasing the heat and humidity in the air for a Fatigue (Range [Perception]) effect, encasing opponents in instantlycreated ice for a Snare effect, creating a pressure dome of air for a Create Objects effect, or lifting allies with her control of the winds for an Affects Others Flight effect. Note that in Ultimate Power, maximum range is separate from Range Increment for a power- a power s maximum range is rank x 100 feet (modified by the progression feat), and Improved Range only makes the ranged increment better. So Storm s targeted Lightning Bolts can hit targets up to 1200 feet away and since Storm s range increment is 1200 feet, she ll never take range penalties. For Storm s Area Trip at Range [Perception], you should consider this a Targeted Perception Area in Ultimate Power s lingo (essentially, it s like a conventional explosion Storm doesn t have to perceive the target but the power can be blocked by cover) Her Weather Control power uses the mix-and match environment optional rules from Ultimate Power: Rather than having a set list of effects Storm can create, divide its cost for any given use among the effects listed, making it a limited sort of Variable structure. This makes Weather Control more powerful, which I think is fine since it s a pretty weak effect. Storm s Trip abilities have the +0 Opposed by Strength Only modifier from Ultimate Power, which does exactly what the name implies. Yes, it s strictly better than the regular Trip power, but since Improved Throw is listed as a power feat for only 1 pp and that s strictly better than Opposed by Strength, there s no room for an in-between cost here. Independent is a +0 Extra from Ultimate Power. Independent: Applied to a sustained effect, this modifier makes its duration independent of the user and based instead on the number of power points in the effect. The effect occurs normally and then fades at a rate of 1 power point of effectiveness per round until it is gone. While it lasts, it requires no attention or maintenance from the user, like a continuous duration effect, although it can still be countered or nullified (also like a continuous effect). This is like a combination of the Duration (continuous) and Fades modifiers. An Independent Alternate Power continues to function even when the Array is switched to a different configuration. Cylinder is an option for the shape of an Area Effect in Ultimate Power. Cylinder: The effect fills a cylinder with a total radius and height of 5 feet per rank. So, for example, a rank 10 Cylinder Area could have a 20-foot radius and a height of 30 feet, a 10-foot radius and a height of 40 feet, or any other combination adding up to 50 feet (10 ranks x 5 feet). Features are from Ultimate Power and are the equivalent for powers of the Benefit Feat. Weather Sense is an invented feature that lets Storm know the current and upcoming weather in her vicinity; remember, her character was created before the Weather Channel! Freshen Air is a power feat on Air Control in Ultimate Power that does more or less what the name implies. Tough is from the Mastermind s Manual and adds 1 to her Toughness save.

129 Here s The Thing as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. He s not the strongest or the toughest powerhouse out there, but he makes up for it with good looks and witty charm. Well, maybe not good looks. He doesn t have Teamwork even though he s a great team player he doesn t set up the rest of the Fantastic Four- they set up him! The Thing s Density power has the power feat Buoyant not because The Thing naturally floats, but because with his Super-Strength it wouldn t make sense for him to fail all swim checks. I don t really buy Thing weighing 500 lbs, even though that s what online sources say he weighs. Come on, look at him. He s got to be taller than his listed 6 0 height as well. I d say he weighs about 800 lbs. Countering Punch is in Ultimate Power and lets you use a Strength check to counter appropriate ranged attacks (but it still takes a readied action or a hero point for Instant Counter).

131 Here s Thor as a PC at PL 12, 180 pp. Thor s Heavy Load is 118 tons (example Cargo Jet). To perform even more incredible lifting feats than usual, you can power stunt Super-Strength off of his ranks in Flight from Mjolnir This version of Thor has neither his Asgardian Armor nor his Belt of Strength I figured that giving my PL Thor both of these items and not giving my PL 12 Thor either helps explain why this version of Thor is PL 12 instead of PL. I think I remember seeing that removing Thor s Belt of Strength weakens him for a time, so you could also explain his lower PL that way. He s still as intimidating as ever. The Shockwave power feat that Mjolnir grants is a cone of Electricity rather than Force (and is rank 12, since as an Area Attack it s limited by Thor s PL). Thor can also call down Lightning Bolts against individual targets and can control weather conditions in the broader area. In Ultimate Power, maximum range is separate from Range Increment for a power- a power s maximum range is rank x 100 feet (modified by the progression feat), and Improved Range only makes the ranged increment better. So Thor s Lightning Bolts can hit targets up to 1200 feet away and since Thor s range increment is 1200 feet, he ll never take range penalties. His Weather Control power uses the mix-and match environment optional rules from Ultimate Power: Rather than having a set list of effects Thor can create, divide its cost for any given use among the effects listed, making it a limited sort of Variable structure. This makes Weather Control more powerful, which I think is fine since it s a pretty weak effect. The Counters Illusion Super-Sense is from Ultimate Power and does exactly what the name implies. Buoyant is also from Ultimate Power and is a power feat on Density that makes it so you don t automatically fail Swim checks Thor doesn t naturally float, but he s far too strong to automatically fail Swim checks just because he weighs 640 lbs. Note that Strength bonuses from Density don t add to Climb or Swim checks. The Tough feat is from the Mastermind s Manual and adds 1 to your Toughness save.

133 Here s Thor as a PC at PL, 210 pp. Thor s Heavy Load is about 3280 tons (example Nuclear Sub). They don t call him Mighty for nothing! He has 0 Intimidate and deserves every penny of it. This build of Thor doesn t have some of the abilities you d associate with a more godly version like more Immunities, Space Travel, or the Anti-Force. I only have so many power points to work with and you really don t want a PC throwing around the Anti-Force (Drain Constitution 20 in some of the builds I ve seen) he s plenty powerful without it. I think it s more fun to be Thor than Donald Blake, so I didn t give him any Normal Identity type drawback if it comes up with this build, it s a Complication. Thor is very effective when throwing Mjolnir, but he can t fly while doing so (since he flies by throwing Mjolnir and holding on to it). The Shockwave power feat that Mjolnir grants is a cone of Electricity rather than Force (and is rank, since as an Area Attack it s limited by Thor s PL). Thor can also call down Lightning Bolts against individual targets and can control weather conditions in the broader area. Note that as of Ultimate Power, maximum range is separate from Range Increment for a power- a power s maximum range is rank x 100 feet (modified by the progression feat), and Improved Range only makes the ranged increment better. So Thor s Lightning Bolts can hit targets up to 00 feet away and since Thor s range increment is 00 feet, he ll never take range penalties.

137 Here s Toad as a PL 9, 135 pp PC. This is a powerful version of Toad. Definitely inspired by the movie version. He s the Brotherhood s equivalent of Nightcrawler, with a major shift for high Defense/low Toughness, Wall-Crawling, extremely high Acrobatics and Acrobatic Bluff, good movement and stealth, an exotic (i.e., non-toughness save) attack, and the Taunt feat. Challenge feats are from the Mastermind s Manual Challenge (Fast Taunt) lets Toad use the Taunt feat as a move action at no penalty. Toad is an effective grappler and does 6 damage in a grapple (his Strike power adds to damage in a grappleit can represent either something like a flying kick or a strike/squeeze with his tongue). Likewise, Toad s Super-Strength can either represent his incredible lower body strength or his mighty tongue. His Spittle blinds opponents use Extra Effort to Power Stunt a different kind of Spittle if you want it to do something else. Despite his appearance, Toad has high Charisma he definitely has presence. Think of this build of Toad as if he were almost as badass as, say, Darth Maul. Note that you add extra distance from Acrobatics before multiplying by 10 for Toad s Leaping power.

139 The irascible Wolverine, as a PC at PL 10, 150 pp. Wolverine is an unkillable killing machine, just as you d expect. His ranged attack bonus is a little lower than a straight conversion would deserve, but he still has a "professional" level of skill. He doesn t have regeneration from Unconscious because it would make him too powerful. Wolverine weighs about 300 lbs due to his adamantium skeleton. Note that the bonuses to Strength from Density don t add to Climb or Swim checks. His claws can only do lethal damage, which makes sense. Wolverine s claws are only Penetrating 4, so his claws are effectively 13 damage for purposes of bypassing Impervious Toughness. His Regeneration ranks are broken down: 3 Bruised, 4 Staggered, 6 Injured/Disabled. Hopefully your GM rules that Rage that gives a +4 Str bonus can let you exceed your PL limits on offense because it also decreases your Defense by 2, as Steve Kenson suggests would be a fair house rule here. If not, drop the Rage feats and take something else (say, +1 Fortitude save and Endurance). Then just describe going into a rage when you use All-Out Attack and Power Attack at the same time. Speed 1 makes a very fast version of Wolverine but you don t want to be playing a character with 30 foot movement a round and no ranged attacks if you can help it (and you can, for only one pp!). Container is from Ultimate Power and is a generalization of the Alternate Form power from the core book a Permanent Container is mainly a way of organizing powers.
