The Revised Marvel Universe (M&M2)

[Insight]

I'm not sure if Avatar/Franklin Richards has a nemesis. If he does, it's not Galactus. Probably Dr. Doom, if he's still around. Not sure who else it would be.

That begs a question...

What is the current status of The Fantastic Four in this game world? What of Dr Doom? Hero? Villain? Dead?

I need to know so I can do my background.

Insight: No need for a particular nemesis.

Fantastic Four...let's see.

How about Victor Von Doom is a hero (sort of the 'Reed Richards' of the world), he's married to Sue, but she isn't a superhero or anything. Sue and Johnny never went to space or got powers. Ben Grimm's whereabouts are unknown. Reed Richards is the villain who engineered Von Doom's accident. He eventually fled into the future, and no one has heard from him in ten years.

That should give everyone plenty of room for their own backgrounds, right?
Avatar can be the son of Sue and Reed (from their college days, perhaps?) while Val can be the daughter of Sue and Victor. How does that sound?

Mechanics are up (except skills)...suggestions/comments welcome.

If you're planning on doing tinkering/disabling in the field, the Improvised Tools feat might be something to consider (no penalty if you don't have tools, and I believe it applies to all tool-based skills). I'd think it might actually be synchronous with the powers, since the fluff might be that Valeria's using her invisible force fields in a modified way to compensate for a lack of tools?

So really, there is no Fantastic Four. There's just Doom, filling Reed's shoes.

Eeeenteresting.

Okay, that's what I needed. Thanks!

Does Reed Richards have powers? If not, I guess Franklin is a regular ole mutant. Not a problem, per se.

Technically speaking... Franklin being a mutant is cannon (though his eventual omega level classification.. that could come from his being exposed to cosmic rays from Galacticus).

This!

That's true! Forgot about that poster!

Shay: No problem!

Insight: Reed doesn't have powers. He's a techno-genius (like his 616 counterpart), but he's a misunderstood madman here. And yep, 616 Franklin is a mutant.
