I was only asking that if there becomes an opening, I'd like to fill it. I'm not currently reading the in game thread but I am aware that GreenKarl is MIA. I didn't expect to find the campaign in an existential crisis.

What is your pitch?

At the moment I'm considering a semi-speedster/semi-brick with an inflated ego. But I haven't tied it down yet. Now that there could be an opening, I'm reading the IC thread to get a feel for where the team might be weak. (My first ideas for a mage or telepath were dashed rather early. )
EDIT: Turned into a Brick with speedsterish abilities. I'm not sure the construction is legal (strength array).

Brad Seyass is an obnoxious womanizer. His kiss creates an ecstasy effect, that those willing to kiss and tell say is amazing. Not that he needs it. He is classically handsome: square jawed, with blond locks that manage to wave in still air; wealthy; and single.
His hero uniform is bright red, with blue trim, including lightning bolt shapes on the limbs. No mask.

Although, I might change the personality. Don't know if I can sustain a sexist and not get sick of it myself.... Hmm... Maybe he grew out if and has lots of regrets. I was thinking he was 23 originally. What if he's 39 and looks back on his life with regret and disgust. That could work.

[MENTION=20711]hero4hire[/MENTION], Okay, I'll definitely be going with the older version of Mr. Amazing (his registered hero name (whether or not hero names are registered) that embarrasses him now). At some point he will need some Extended Sight if he going to fly that fast, or find orbital objects.
Once I started looking at senses, the temptation to give him "Penetrates Concealment, clothing only" was very high.

[MENTION=813]jmucchiello[/MENTION] There are a couple of pet peeves for me in the build.
Regeneration 10. In most of my other games I have banned Regeneration as it is too cheap in my opinion. I now require Healing (Self) to model a fast recovery perhaps with trigger or reaction.
Improved Crit more than 1 rank if it isn't conceptually integral also isn't allowed. Maybe if you were a Martial artist or weaponeer with high attack and low damage I'd allow 3 ranks...

Was there a post with these chargen house rules that I missed and are there any other rules I should be aware of? Also, be aware this is my second M&M character ever.
With Improved Crit, I was trying to simulate that he hits HARD. Without having ridiculous high strength. But I can cut it down to one level if you prefer.
Regen: He flies really fast and can survive in vacuum. He's practically not human. But since you don't like Regen, I'll change it. Does self only rate -1 per rank for Healing in your rules since normally it is a close power?
Maybe I'll be able to buy extended sight with the points I get back, if any.

Nope I did not do my usual spiel of character gen rules here.

Brad Seyass was an obnoxious womanizer. His kiss creates an ecstasy effect, that those willing to kiss and tell say is amazing. Not that he needs it. He is classically handsome: square jawed, with blond locks that manage to wave in still air; wealthy; and single. As a child, Brad was playing in a remote location when he encountered something. He has no idea what nor did he change immediately. In mid-high school he went from a normal looking teen to an Adonis superbeing. At first he downplayed it. But when he no longer enjoyed eating, drinking or dreaming, he needed something to stimulate him. That something at first was sex. But eventually that seemed so easy. So he turned to crime fighting. That was a challenge. To say he regrets his past would be false. To say he regrets the reputation that past created would be accurate.
His hero uniform is bright red, with blue trim, including lightning bolt shapes on the limbs. No mask. His eyes, steel blue, do not look unusual but he often has a faraway look that can be unsettling.

The only thing that might be an issue is how the AOEerception speedster punches interacts with extended sight. He can see A LOT. And with flight, even the curvature of the Earth becomes less limiting. In a round he can traverse a path a mile long. He can see clearly everything within line of sight with no range modifiers to Perception for the first 189 miles. It probably won't ever come up, but if he had to punch a regiment of soldiers in one round, he could.
Should I just choose a different strength stunt? If so, I might dump more of the speedster aspect of the character and go more brick.
