[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4382951, member: 19675"] I have no love for 4Ed, but [I]even I[/I] can see that Cap is a fairly simple concept that should be supportable in almost any genre of RPG, including FRPGs. Many other Marvel characters that are "Fantasy Capable" IMHO: Black Panther Black Knight Black Tom Cassidy Banshee Hawkeye Iron Fist Storm Tigra Mantis The Swordsman Batroc the Leaper Black Widow Kraven The Hunter Mockingbird Doctor Strange Doctor Druid Wolverine (Oddball weapon + wilderness skills/animalistic nature + DR or Regen) Invisible Woman The Angel The Beast Kitty Pryde Marvel Girl Prof. X Psylocke Snowbird The Vulture Kingpin The Rose Unas the Untouchable Daredevil Mysterio Moon Knight Shaman The Falcon Bullseye Most androids (Warforged + PC class) Nightcrawler (an acrobatic swashbuckler with a T-Port) Scarlet Witch (as some kind of Wild Mage/probability alterer) Hercules (and any other Olympian, Asgardian, or Eternal based on a mythological being) Most energy projectors (some kind of mage) Any basic "Brick" (Hulk, Thing, Doc Samson, Luke Cage, etc.) ...and the list could go on for quite a ways if I really thought about it. Then there's DC comics, Valiant, Image, and so forth. Simply put, so many superheroes can trace their origins back to RW legend and fantasy fiction that going the other way for a FRPG PC is both natural and relatively easy. [/QUOTE]
