The group we had (Before Sky High I believe) Snake Plissken, Todd 3465, Jack Burton, Elvis and The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes Kid.

However Commander & Ego wouldve been pretty powerful additions.

Blockade has been wrestling in the MWF for 2 years now, and has established himself as one of the most popular figures in the franchise.
He plays the role of the hero in the league.

MY concept is going to be 0/Gs (Zero-Gees)... When I get the book (by this WED it says) I will be making an altered human (sorry my Marvel getting the best of me).

Will be manipulating gravity to throw things, catch people, hopefully stop bullets. Thinking of an out of high-schooler (19) with no prospects getting changed into a super-hero so wish to play the quirkier kid who is making plenty of mistakes.

Should be ready next week.

I haven't crunched the numbers but Blockade looks solid. When you complete the history, bio data, description and personality you get an extra 50hp for the build. It is recommended to reserve *some* hero points to start play with, because among other things they are used like Hit Points through Last Ditch Defense.

Only 15 additional points each for history, description, and personality (subject to GM approval). I already took the 5 points for the personal data.

I see that. We are saying the same thing 15+15+15+5=50

So once all of them are complete you should have 45 HP. Pics are acceptable in lieu of description (sometimes preferable)

Okay, his points check out!

He ends up fairly vulnerable for a Brick at 2 OV/9 RV.
In practice, Anyone rolling an 11 is guaranteed column shifts when rolling over an 11 on him.
Also, IIRC getting Stunned is Based on your Body and not total RV.
I suggest taking another drawback that makes sense (maybe Limelight) which would leave you 60HP, Up your base Body to 7 (12 RV at max size) to make you a proper "Brick".
This would leave you 30 hp for gameplay to start which isn't terrible.
