From aliens to assassins, from spandex to shirts-and-jeans, this is the thread to discuss all things superheroic, at least as tabletop games go. Mutants & Masterminds, Marvel Heroic, Heroes Unlimited, Dark Champions, Villains and Vigilantes, and any other system out there, this is the thread for you if you want to feel superhuman.

Starfire. Unf.
>>
>>47093477
It's characters like Starfire that the M&M advantage "Attractive" is for. Your character is exceptionally attractive by in-universe standards; considering EVERYONE is attractive by comic book standards, that's impressive.

Might even be Attractive 2 with Kory because just by walking into a room she got the attention of an entire floor of a police station.
And she got her first job on Earth by walking through the door of a modeling agency.
>>
>>47093547
I think the police station bit was due to her wardrobe, though.

We've got a Summoner!
>The Summoner is an archetype that covers a lot of ground, from heroes who create duplicates of themselves to those who animate images, summon otherworldly creatures, or create minions out of thin air. In order to make the Summoner fit into this book, these tables produce a duplicator who’s either a Martial Artist or a summoner whose summoned creatures are minions with decent combat abilities. You are free to swap points around to change your duplicating Martial Artist into a duplicating Powerhouse, just be sure the duplicates remain within their power level limits (PL8 for Twin, PL7 for Triplets

Let's start with 2d20.

So, lets see. He's not particularly gifted physically, nor he is a super-genius. Magic flows in his veins, but he has to study constantly to actually use it.

Could be a good fit for the "or maybe it's a curse" actually - ancient heritage suddenly awakened in a mostly average guy, then he dove deep into researching to figure out what is happening to him.

>>47093690
Jacking a name from a random comic making a joke on being as dumb as possible does not make a good character.

>>47093705
Ahh, summoner.

And from the looks of things, his training and study has paid off well for him. He's got several magical blasts, he can create constructs, weaken and/or bind enemies, astral project, fly and protect himself with a shield, alter his appearance, teleport, and render himself ghostly. That's a very large toolkit.

I'm going to jump in with Deluxe HH chargen

Doc Savage is the character archetype, actually.
And since Doctor Venture is practically IDENTICAL to Doc Savage I think the comparison is deliberate.
>>
So we have a British baron coming from a (relatively) prestigious family of wizards, a set of athletic triplets who seem to operate on a hivemind and can be sneaky gits, and not-Doc Savage.
>>
>>47093952
The not/Doc Savage is not actually particularly physically tough if you look at his stats.
Scientist is the LEAST "active" archetype in fact.

We've got the Powerhouse, a.k.a. not-Hulk.
>The Powerhouse is the strongest one there is! Where other archetypes spread their points out amongst a number of different powers and abilities, the Powerhouse concentrates on two things; strength and protection. In fights, the Powerhouse is always on the front line, tearing it up and, even so, is usually the last one standing. The Powerhouse is often inhuman-looking, either because he or she’s been turned into a hulking brute, or is from an alien world, or is capable of transforming into living stone, steel, or something equally resistant to damage.

>>47094006
He's got a multi-functional exo-suit that lets him do all kinds of shit. I wouldn't say he's going full Iron Man, but he's got a lot of the skillset.

And I'm stuck between two options for surname

Baldric Barnett, Baron (of the) Bizarre
or
Baldric Brassington, Baron (of the) Bizarre


>BALDRIC m English (Archaic) Derived from the Germanic elements bald "bold, brave" and ric "power, rule"...
seems nice and fitting, right?
>BARNETT English Derived from place originating from Old English bœrnet "cleared by burning".
Hinting on some dramatic origin of the sorcerous heritage
>BRASSINGTON English From a place name, meaning "enclosure by a steep path".
Or on how they encircle and guard some secret

He's actually tied with Bats at +20 accuracy, IIRC. Kid only has 1 more point in Fighting instead of skills.
They both probably pack every fighting style advantage in the book too (friggin bat has 280+ pp total, jesus fuck)
Penetrating and Multiattack on punch though, that's nice advantage.

Well given how combo-riffic the fighting games are, Multiattack wouldn't be amiss, and that lays down the hurt on anything that doesn't pack Impervious.

>>
>>47094260
The easiest thing to do is consider the Complications for each character. This is what stands out to me for each.

MYSTIC
>Honor: It’s not uncommon for a Mystic to follow a code of conduct that keeps them on the straight and narrow, perhaps because it’s the right thing to do, perhaps because they need to in order to keep their powers in check.
>Motivation—Responsibility: The Mystic was given his or her power for a reason—to defend Earth, to hunt down otherworldly creatures, or any number of other options. Or perhaps the Mystic recognizes that his or her power comes with a price.
>Power Loss: Mystics often have the Complication that prevents them from using their powers when they can’t move and/or speak to cast their spells.

SUMMONER (TRIPLETS)
>Motivation—Doing Good: Some Summoners are heroes because they believe it’s the right thing to do.
>Motivation—Thrills: Outside of their Summon ability, many Summoners don’t have a lot of powers. Some may find the constant threat of danger to be a bit much, but not this Summoner! The more danger, the better!

GADGETEER
>Enemy: For some reason, Gadgeteers tend to have a nemesis who believes they need to prove how superior he, she, or it is compared to the Gadgeteer.
>Fame: Gadgeteers often don’t hide their identities from the public and in fact might be media darlings because of their incredible inventions.
>Motivation—Responsibility: The Gadgeteer often feels it’s only right to use his or her incredible intelligence to help others.
>Relationship: Gadgeteers often have a number of important people
in their life, either family, loved ones, other researchers, or employees
who like to get into trouble.

[cont]
>>
>>47094394
They do the reverse with Joker.
>To properly utilize this guy, spam complications over and over and over
>>
>>47094404
POWERHOUSE
>Motivation—Acceptance: Those Powerhouses with the Prejudice complication often choose this motivation and become a hero in order to earn a place in “normal” society. An alien Powerhouse may also choose this motivation even if he or she doesn’t look unusual.
>Motivation—Responsibility: Due to their incredible powers, many Powerhouses become heroes because they feel as if they have a responsibility to do so.
>Prejudice: The Powerhouse often looks unusual and struggles with feeling isolated or like an outsider, or even being treated like a monster!

PSYCHIC
>Identity: Psychics often keep their identities and the fact that they have powers a secret from the rest of the world.
>Motivation—Responsibility: Some Psychics use their powers for good, because they feel they must have been given their powers to help others.
>Power Loss: Because mental powers often require some amount of focus; drugs, disorientation of any kind, or noisy settings may prevent a Psychic from using his or her powers.

Any other input?
>>
>>47094389
I feel like the mystic does alliteration when he speaks and it's completely unintentional.
>"Bravo buddies. We bested the Balrog in battle."

I like the idea that
A: He's reverse-gender Psylocke and
B: That the ninja is entirely incidental, kinda like how half of the characters in GI Joe have ninja training. He was just a Japanese Englishman who's family happen to have ninja stuff so he learned some of the skills.

Mystic and Gadgeteer are men.
Powerhouse and Psychic are women.
Triplets are probably all girls, to play up their athletic side.

Mystic,Summoner and Powerhouse I'm fine with.

I feel like the Gadgeteer is doing this out for thrills because since he's a scientist and a explorer.I think he's just passionate about his work and it just so happens he does superheroics to do it.

While the psychic I dunno. I feel like we can spice him/her up a bit more.

This, pretty much. The ninja bit just came naturally to her from her upbringing. She's still a telekinetic first and foremost, but her ninja skills somehow always come up when it's most relevant (tailing someone, slipping into a building vent).

Based on the psychic's profile, she's got a mind like a steel trap. She's very calm and centered and generally doesn't get rattled easily. She just also happens to be a grad student (ostensibly under Doc Savage's tutelage) and had incidental ninja training growing up.

Triplet and the Powerhouse go the gym together. Psychic tried joining them once but didn't like all the stares (or the crowd) the other two were attracting.

Isn't Star's hair on fire like half the time though?
>>
>>47094626
I kinda like the idea that rather then being Starfire she's more...really level-headed.
Not particular excitable, not particularly femime or charming, just very aware and very difficult to fool and quite perceptive.
Perhaps reacts like She-Hulk does in the comics sometimes to danger; with mild amusement or seeming to lack concern for her safety because she KNOWS how tough she is.

Imagine somehow who GREW UP invulnerable, or got more invulnerable over their life; they'd take the time to be aware of things because they're never in a hurry or rushed because they know there's not really a lot out there that can hurt them. It takes an actual tank round to actually hurt her after all!
>>
>>47094677
She DOES have really big hair even taking into account 80's Hair Inflation.
She STILL has a ton of it even today.
>>47094686
It's not ACTUALLY on fire, it's just kind of a visual effect, like the red blue Superman's cape makes.

The psychic is an intern/grad assistant of the Doc, and the alien powerhouse fell in with them as she felt most comfortable around them. The triplets girl, I'm not sure.

Doc's kid, was pretty hyperactive and he's a busy man so she lived with Baron most of the time, having a run of his big estate?

And then >>47094737 snuck out on adventures without them knowing (and herself knowing about them)?
>>
>>47094782

I enjoy it. My only real concern is that well...Maxima (One of the Heroes, gold skinned lady) is so powerful right now that various villains might as well not exist if she goes all out. So I worry that she's going to degrade a lot of threat.

It's the general issue with having one hero vastly more powerful than the others and having that hero be perfectly willing to cheap shot despite that power.

However, the majority of the focus isn't on actual fighting but on how the world would react to supers so it's not really a huge issue in the scheme of things.

Achilles is amazing. If you pay attention to the stuff that gets said about him, it heavily implies he's saved the world more times than the other heroes despite having no offensive powers. He's just unkillable and has great hair.

>>47094882
He should have TWO ranks for fuck's sake.
In his Grayson comic he almost literally used the Fascination [Deception] Advantage to distracting a woman into crashing a motorcyle in the middle of a gunfight on a highway.

At Attractive 1, you are considered very pretty/handsome and can usually stop someone dead in their tracks if they get a look at you. You're not quite a sex icon, but you may as well be.
At Attractive 2, you're practically sculpted from marble. You are a full-on sex icon and can basically weaponize your good looks if you wanted.

Starfire is most definitely Attractive 2. As >>47093547 says, she instantly got a job at a modeling agency just by walking in the door. You should only take the Attractive advantage if it's a notably salient point that your character is attractive.

>>
>>47096445
Make him mass limited. He can be any human sized creature or even a custom one (such as a better version of a human), wear any person's face, but can't become a giant to lay waste to a city.

Forms only give you attributes and bodily qualities (tail for balancing, faster reflexes, etc.) but no skills.

Maybe for the first few times you use an unfamiliar form, take a penalty until you're used to it.
>>
>>47096486
>1) Champions Complete
Welp, sorry, don't know that system
>2) GM paranoia
Okay, to be honest the shapeshifters kinda do run the risk of being played as having a form perfectly suited for every occasion.

But if he's overparanoiaing, did you try having a good hard talk about it?

And as well, don't you just stat up your forms with the same chargen processes that regular characters use?
>>
>>47096569
Yes and no. You do use the same character process for the alternate forms, though the point cost for those forms are significantly lesser than your normal base character. The cost of alternate forms is 1/5 of the highest costing form plus a +5 static cost per 2x extra forms.

Continuing the Project Superpowers and Freedom Force talk. Someone actually made a Project Superpowers Module for the Sequel of Freedom Force. Give it a go if you like (I heavily recommend getting the GOG or Pirated Disc Version of the game because one of the mod tools requires the game to be in a specific data path)

If the MF Link is dead, I'll contact the creator since I happen to also know him (No I'm not him)

I don't know all that many, but I like Worm. Unlike what I've seen from Marvel and DC, it doesn't make me think "this is absolutely stupid" nearly as often. It still happens, but the difference is massive.

>>47097133
Yeah, if you go superhuman on all abilities you're going to run out fast.

It might not technically fit, but my favorite superhero setting is probably the Greek Pantheon, and anything with it. You know that's the kind of retarded shenanigans superheroes would actually get up to with their powers.

>>47097133
Morph/Metamorph is probably not actually the right power.

In M&M3, the easiest thing to do is just group all the wolf form powers together and deduct a flat -1 for needing a move action to change into your alternate form. (If the limitations on wolfing out are more serious, you could even hit all the wolf powers with something like Limited to Full Moons. Saves a lot of points... but you'd be limited to full moons)

My own quick 'n dirty write-up for a werewolf would look something like this [Power Point costs are listed in square brackets]

Leaping 4 (AP: Super Speed 4) [5]

Claws (Strength-based Damage 3) [3]

This is honestly pretty lazy. I basically just bought appropriate-looking attributes for the human form, loaded up on combat advantages, added enhanced stuff to meet the caps in wolf form, and then threw in senses, regeneration, and movement powers.

I hardly even touch power modifiers, and there're probably a bunch of ways to shave points or optimize it too (If your GM is okay with punches stacking with damage auras, add a Wolf Bite (Strength-based Damage 1. Grab-based) power for a whole 1 PP)

>Morph/Metamorph is probably not actually the right power.
Morph could be cool for a guy who is technique and style martial artist in human form and shifts into a tanky and brawly werewolf.
>>
>>47098022
That is actually true. You could even take stuff like Leadeship and Equipment for the Captain America side and dump it all for jacked stats for the Werewolf side.

Metamorph is basically an Alternate Effect for your entire character sheet, which is absurdly good to the point of being broken.

(And Metamorph + Duplicate is just dumb. If your GM doesn't veto that they deserve whatever happens.)

The Wearing the Cape series, mentioned by >>47095056, is good. As is BPRD. WtC series can be a little slow at times, but it's a fairly low-level hero story (the main character's a flying brick, but the author insists on realistic physics, so she makes a big deal about how she'd bones in her body if she tried to just slam through a tank or something like a missile.)

Rather than Kamen Rider W, I'd suggest reading Kamen Rider SPIRITS. The writing is better and it has less obnoxious 'comedy' moments. Unfortunately, it's not fully translated. Kamen Rider Kuuga's also a good watch, but a tad dated and there's complaints about it being slow at times.

Soon I Will Be Invincible is probably my favorite superhero book. Split between a Silver Age Villain, Doctor Impossible, the smartest man in the world, and a Modern Age Hero, Fatale, an amnesiac combat cyborg, it's just overall fantastic. There's no "BUT THAT WOULDN'T WORK IN THE REAL WORLD", no Silver Age mockery (some nostalgia, perhaps), and nothing that demeans modern stories the way writers like Alan Moore tend to.

Ex-Heroes/Patriots/Whatever is... Not to my tastes. It's basically The Walking Dead with superheroes. If you're interested in zombie stories, give it a read. I can't care about them anymore. Even if you do like them, the writing's pretty basic.

Confessions of a D-List Supervillain and its prequel... Eh. If you liked Max Landis' Shocker fanfic (I still say Transistor was better), you'll like it. They basically follow the same story arc.

WildCards is George R. R. Martin with a bunch of other people. You've probably already read it.

If you haven't read Buseik's Astro City, that's a fucking crime that you need to correct. I can't give a plot synopsis since each issue/story arc is a love letter to a different character archetype/plot line.

Moore's Top Ten is entertaining. Police procedural in a city of superheroes.

Bendis' Powers is... It's Bendis. If you can stand his writing, it's a nice read.

This is one of my favorite books ever.
Rather then deconstruct superheroes it sort of goes into the hows and whys of superhero archetypes, and still has next to every single character more or less live up to cheesy Silver Age story shit.
He even does some really subtle things that I didn't get at first, like how the Wolverine of the team (a humanoid tiger-person) is routinely considered by other characters as extremely dangerous and yet is ALWAYS in every fight scene in the book the very first character to go down, quietly mimicking Wolverine's tendency to get beat up early on in most fights.

Continuing...

My Hero Academia is a new anime, but the manga's been running for a year. A Japanese take on American-style superheroes. Basically Hogwarts crossed with capes. It's actually fantastic, but the main character cries too much for some people. (he gets better.) There's a lot of discussion over what makes heroes heroes. Why they stand out.

Tiger & Bunny is another anime. Basically, what if heroes were all like Booster Gold? It's actually pretty good. It's got a movie that I have yet to watch.

Squadron Supreme is Marvel, but it's also a classic. What if the world went to shit and the Justice League decided that the best way to fix things would be to take it over?

DC, but The Shadow Strikes! is fantastic. Don't get their other Shadow series, it's legendarily awful.

Now Comics! had a pretty good Green Hornet series, but it's VERY 80s. Acts as if both the radio series and the '66 television series were canon, turning the Hornet into a legacy hero.

Alan Moore's Supreme. Basically, Moore took a Rob Liefeld Superman knockoff and wrote a massive, sprawling love letter to the Silver Age. If you ever wanted to know how he would have written All Star Superman, that's it.

The Marvel Adventures line. Yes, yes, I know, Marvel. But this was aimed at a younger audience and swings between being absolutely hilarious, a great action comic, and actual character drama (well, for Spider-Man, at least.) These are the comics that Marvel should be printing today.

Warren Ellis' Planetary. There are secrets in this world. This is the tale of the people who uncover those secrets.

I'm going to repeat. Astro City.

Alan Moore had his own comics label for a while, America's Best Comics. Things like Tom Strong and the like. I seem to remember all of them being pretty good, but they were largely built off of pulp character archetypes. If you don't like pulp fiction, I'd still suggest giving it a try, but it's understandable if you don't.

>>47098833
Isn't it fantastic?

Scrap the unitard look. Go for a full body stocking. Maybe with an ab window, or a window on her back to show off them muscles. Give her a decent belt. Some pouches, but not the full Liefeld. Stuff she'd need for the others, like bandages and the like. Maybe a tiara of some kind, thick and metal.

Nothing that looks like armor because she doesn't need it.

Or maybe go for an alternate route. Put Thor-style disks on her costume, each one filled with medicine or bandages or food. Because she's the powerhouse, she carries most of the gear that the others won't need directly on-hand, so it's tucked away. Like Iron Man's shoulder arches on his classic red and gold had gadgets, you can slap on some Thor disks for bandages, and one of Nightwing's costumes had all of his wingdings/comm gear/nightvision stuff/grapple hooks stashed into his bracers.

Tom Strong is great, I fully recommend it.

In a slightly related thread we randomly generated a "justice league" and it's villains. Feel free to take the the fluff and use it as you feel
>>JUSTICE LEAGUE
>FOUNDING MEMBER
Tera, a telepathic dragon made of solidified sand. He has the ability to manipulate light and weather.

>SECOND IN COMMAND
Basic Bitch, whose emotion and manipulation powers are so diverse and great she can even control plants. She can also absorb UV radiation to regain health: gotta hit that GTL.

>THE TANK
Average Joe can withstand an ungodly amount of damage, and levitate by ignoring the laws of gravity. Gained his powers by accidentally swallowing a radioactive Cracker Jack prize as a boy.

>THE BEAUTY
Despite her name and stone-like skin, the winged heroine Gargoyle is quite attractive. She is able to emit a glittering mist that grants the ability to regenerate for a limited amount of time.

>THE BEAST
Frankenstein is a super-genius inventor, whose homemade cybernetics allow him to animate dead bodies and create base elements out of thin air. To stave off undeath-related insanity, his supertronic brain-chip gives him a superhuman iron will.
>>
>>47099359
>>VILLAINS & UNAFFILIATED CHARACTERS
>THE NEMESIS
Umbra is a undead dragon skeleton whose soul has somehow reattached itself to his body due to Frankenstein's experiments. He can create fields of "invisibility" through the use of clever illusions, simulating a moving image of the surroundings. He can shrink its body to the size of an ant, while retaining proportional strength, like a skeletal Ant Man. Additionally, Umbra can resist emotion attacks with ease, likely due to the fact that he's a skeleton. Finally, Umbra can cause any desired material within a one block radius to collect at its point of choosing, such as dirt, gold, or even blood: fortunately, it takes time. In addition to the above, he can mold the shape of solid matter. This power can be used from anything to creating statues, to animating minions (by constantly reshaping the material) to creating all manner of devices (provided enough time and focus can be had to make the parts). Most insidiously, this power can be used on living creatures, though their internal organs will always take a shape that allows them to live. The Justice League was assembled by Tera and Frankenstein to combat him.

>THE MONSTROSITY
Combination-Abomination is another creation of Frankenstien gone wrong. It is some sort of horrible amalgam of android, normal human, robot, ghost, and has horse legs, who at some point received powers via mutation. Its wide variety of powers include; Geoforce, Regeneration, Fire Generation, Animal Communication, Body Resistance, Mechanical Creation, and Missile Creation. Combo was originally created to combat Umbra. However, it decided it wanted to do its own thing. Sometimes it helps the heroes, sometimes it blows up an ice cream parlor for no reason. It isn't evil: its thought processes are just too alien and chaotic to understand even its own motives.
>>
>>47099375
>THE PROTECTOR
Mother Nature is an intelligent plant that only cares about maintaining the stability of Nature. So she jump in some villain fights because it'll come back to bite the forest in the ass but she will happily fuck with big companies because they're destroying it's life source. She protects the natural world zealously through the use of her UV absorption, and molecular conversion; the ability to convert any element or compound into any number of elements and compounds simultaneously, so long as it retains the same mass; volume is liable to change as a result. This power can be used on living things as well, although it can be resisted by the particularly tough or strong willed.

Polarity. Transistor was the sequel, my bad.

And, yeah, that was the one with Dormammu. I generally like it because Herman doesn't turn into a fucking genius on the level of Tony Stark and he doesn't end up curing the Rhino when no other genius could, fucking the Black Cat, and living on an island in a pocket dimension, living off of the riches of his inventions for the rest of his life.

I like One Punch Man, but the recent releases have been irritating to me. Like, it seems like the guy who's redrawing the series from the webcomic keeps going back to earlier chapters and adding new stuff and it's just confusing as fuck.

It's funny, but the constant delays are killing my love for the series. It bugs me when I've got to wait a month for another six pages that may or may not get redrawn in another six months.
>>
>>47099247
I felt that early Team was good. Not a lot of forced drama like Young Avengers had.

After the timeskip... eh.

Also, Masks, mentioned earlier in this thread, actually has interpersonal drama as a game mechanic. For example, Danger has a direct effect on your combat ability. If people react to like you're a monster, you might feel more Dangerous, meaning you do more damage.
>>
>>47099668
I liked the drama in the first few issues of Young Avengers because while it certainly WAS teenage drama, it was also relevant to their superheroic antics. Hawkeyed finding strength in her rape to become a powerless badass was ridiculously good even if rape tends to be a bit of a cliche (but I've never really seen it as an origin story for a superhero.)

Same for Wiccan and Speed. Hulkling's backstory / drama, I felt was a bit forced with "Oh, my best friend made me abuse my powers" because I feel like it was just stupid. But I did like Hulkling's arc in the second "season"; with him doubting his love for Wiccan and unsure if it wasn't all Wiccan's fault.

Other than that, drama was bland and clearly written by adults who tried to write what they thought teens would like / relate to. Of course Hawkweye is suddenly vain and flirty, of course Patriot, the token black kid gets hooked up on drugs, of course the daughter of a hero struggles to live up to his image.

Young Justice was better in hero aspect but barely had any decent drama, but I don't think that was necessarily a drawback. I'd prefer no drama over poorly written drama.

Anyway, Masks? What's that? Is there a pdf?

And I've done a shitty job of describing.

Okay, so, Masks is, like. You play young heroes still getting a handle on things. Aimed at the Young Justice/Teen Titans/Young Avengers/New Warriors/New Mutants crowd. Uses a modified Powered by the Apocalypse engine to run things.

The beta has ten Playbooks, different Heroic archetypes. The final game will have about 22 or so, IIRC. Each playbook is essentially a template for you to use and build your character around.

There are five Labels, Freak, Danger, Savior, Mundane, and Superior, that you roll with two dice to decide the success of your actions. Interacting with other people can change your character's Labels.
>>
>>47099994
Basically, whenever you take an action, you roll 2d6 and add the score from your appropriate Label. On a 10 or more, you've succeeded perfectly. On a 7-9, you succeeded, but might have hit a snag. On a 6 or less, you've fucked up chum.

I have three teams currently running around. The West coast team, The Titanic Trio is primarily teenagers, but they are probably the most powerful:
Power Girl, my character, she's one of the strongest and toughest people on the planet, and unlike a lot of bricks, she has a very high movement speed, not fast enough to break the sound barrier because trying to go any faster shatters whatever she's leaping off of, because she can't fly. Yet.
Kid Metropolis: a City Elemental who operates a lot like a 14 year old Jack Hawksmoore, who isn't fucked up.
Stellar: a super genius cosmic energy blaster.

They have a bunch of allies and they make use of the old Statesmen (a team with one hero from every state, now defunct due to repeated incidents) base in Arcadia, Washington State.

In the Midwest we have the Crusaders, which is a huge team, but the player characters are Prime who's another super genius, but he's a brick, and Spartan a powered armor blaster from an alternate 2012.

On the east coast there's the Defenders Arclite a combat cyborg (brick) from yet another alternate 2015, Silver who's a brain wizard (technically an omnicapable psychic, but because that includes conjuring things out of thin-fucking-air, Arclite calls him a brain wizard), and The Huntsman a not!Batman. All of this team is ridiculously intelligent, though Silver is the least intelligent.

Superpowers have never come with super morality, that's literally an extension of the fact that the first superheroes in Marvel and DC were basically Captain America and Superman respectively. The last full paragraph Cap says here basically explains it. In The Boys, the local equivalent heroes are all basically bags of blood who can be torn apart in ways that is literally impossible for normal humans in the real world to be torn apart, given the objects involved, so they're all brutally torn apart, because it's edgy.

No, because otherwise you wouldn't have super powered villains and there were a lot of super powered villains in the day. There was also groups of people with powers, but who just wanted to get by.

Superman fought Frozen Dinosaurs, Giant Robots, and mad scientists for a long time before any supervillians sprung up.

Here's the thing though: The Boys is written by a sociopath, who thinks the rest of the world is every bit as vile as he is, it's just hidden under a thin layer of courtesy and fear. It's a cry for help, not something to be lauded. I wouldn't say this if he wasn't telling the same story over and over again, using slightly different scenarios every time.

It has a fundamental failure to understand humans. -IF- we were actually as horrible as portrayed in those comics, we'd never be able to work together long enough to build individual cities with literally millions of people in them. It wouldn't take years of untreated psychological trauma to cause someone to become a murderer, and we damn sure wouldn't view it as a 'what the fuck happened here' thing.

I disagree. It's more of a power corrupts sort of thing. The superheros in the setting aren't really any different then modern pop idols. It's just when they throw a tantrum over red M&Ms in their green M&M bowl they level buildings.

It's even less about how bad the heroes are so much as how society is willing to overlook the wrongs of the famous, so they can hold on to their idols.

It might be a little exaggerated, but it's a comic book. It's no more over the top then anything Marvel or DC puts out.

>The Boys is written by a sociopath, who thinks the rest of the world is every bit as vile as he is, it's just hidden under a thin layer of courtesy and fear.
Huh

Don't forget that Starfire's race is empowered by their emotions and can literally weaponize their feelings.

What does weaponized shame look like?

No, because this guy wrote Crossed and Bomb Queen. Power doesn't really corrupt per say, it's that people lie to get into position, and then other corruptive forces come in and they do the corruption thing. It's a serious misunderstanding of what happens when a person has power, especially in modern situations, when a person has power, but they're dealing with other powerful people, and if they want to get anything done, without losing any of their power, they have to make compromises, and then they become a corruptive element themselves, because they literally cannot be overt.

Which there are less edgy ways of doing this. Empowered discusses this without going into 'rape baby bursting from it's mother's womb, before being beaten to death by the upset husband' territory.

Empowered is a little exaggerated, this is like saying 'there was a loud noise' at Tsar Bomba's detonation or that Bomb Queen is 'a little fucked up'.

Most of his compatriots find Ennis hugely annoying and distasteful as a person actually, and his stories about people WITHOUT powers still are full of this shit.

The guy is a deeply misanthroptuc Generation X Edgelord as part of his actual real-life personality.

Didn't read those, so I couldn't comment.

I'd disagree. It has less to do with making compromises, and more to do with have a growing detachment from the "little guy".

I like the design. Feel she could be a little beefier, though, especially the upper torso; those arms look kinda out of place.
>>
>>47103452
Figure out their goal. That's the most important part. Not even a concrete one, just decide if they do the things they do for a cause, or because they are crazy.

Don't match the powers to said goal (unless the goal stems from their origin story). Feel free to give villains "good" powers and vice versa.

Better, it's a female of color. And, she's one of the physical asskickers, so they can't complain about "weak female cheesecake".
Sales will tank in the first year and the character, and comic as a whole, will die because the people who actually read comics want personalities, not political agendas

There are also varying degrees of crazy, ranging from robbing banks for money because of selfishness and a lack of morals, to full on genocidal tendencies, and everything between.

Don't. They aren't good.

Growing detachment from the little guy doesn't become an issue with superheroics, if the superhero in question doesn't do it to themselves. Superman makes a point of living and working among the little guys. Thor lives on Midgard among humans for a reason, politicians forget this, because they isolate themselves in their big fancy houses with all their peers.

I get a lot of inspiration from other media, and often times use that too work backward.
>I wanted to Create a SuperVillianous named "Lump"
I usually think about how their powers work, and generally try and fit a personality that compliments it.
>Lump transforms from a normal angsty 20 something woman into a Super Strong Monstrosity covered in cancerous looking lumps.
>The "Lump" form is phsyical manifestation of the tough facade she puts up to protect herself from harm.
Then I try and figure out where they fit in the setting.
>Lump has fallen for Anarchist, another super powered social misfit
>Lump is now part of a love triangle with Fever, fighting for Anarchist's affection
>The trio forms a slightly dyfuntional, but effective super villain team.

Her culture doesn't have a nudity taboo. So she doesn't experience any shame over how she dresses. She probably only covers up her crotch and nipples because her human friends insist that's the minimum necessary.

Sounds more then a bit Magical Realm.

>>47104409
It's never shown to be an idealized thing, the race is generally considered to be more than a little barbaric on the galactic scale.

Only because of how she looks. There are plenty of aliens races in fiction that don't wear clothing at all without raising any eyebrows.

Fuck you. If anything is magical realm in the DC universe, it's the Star Sapphires.

>Sexy and Barbaric
Definitely Magic Realm.

She was a waifu before any little anime-watching turd ever thought up that butchered English term over here.
Yes, she was BY DESIGN someone's magical realm.

Ironically the creator's waifu who was actually dating his self-insert was a completely different character.

Yeah I guess I should do a redraw now that I got the design down at least.

I agree on the arms being a little ... out of place/too beefy. a rework shall be done.

The Boys was a commentary on the comics industry, ennis isn't a sociopath you nonce

*military-industrial complex*
I am literally only saying he's a sociopath because he keeps using gore as his primary medium of saying 'this is bad, m'kay', because let's be honest here: there are better ways of saying 'this is bad, m'kay' than making all the characters bags of blood, your bitching has to be at least somewhat palatable.
