Cool! I would really like to see a similar treatment of Ninjai, the littlest ninja, from http://www.ninjai.com

Maybe they could team up or go head-to-head...

Hey jericho,

Might be a good idea. Unfortunately, I went to the site, and they've taken al the episodes down so's they can get more bandwidth. I registered for the msg board, and now will be waiting quietly...(twiddles thumbs)

In the meantime, I'll post my master villian: the Mechromancer and his sidekick/minions!

I've only seen a couple episodes of this show, but it seems that Jack's determination isn't enough of a weakness to warrant getting 10 free points.

What was your thinking behind that?

Hwy whydirt,

You may be right, but Jack has something about his demeanor that make most ordinary beings notice him and tend to be a bit wary/in awe of him. That was my attempt to describe it. I have only seen a few episodes myself, and that was one of the first things that struck me about the character. Kind of like the way others react to The Man With No Name in the Fistful of Dollars Trilogy. It's more distinctive than disturbing, but since that falls into the same general category, I went with it. If you have any other ideas on it, feel free to let me know.

I agree that he's distinctive, but it doesn't seem to hinder him from doing things at least in a way that he should get bonus points for it.

I'd either add the Intimidating presense extra from Super-Charisma, or maybe just some ranks in Intimidate.

Oh, and I love it overall, I'm just trying to nitpick.

Hey whydirt,

Glad you like it. I could probably boil it down to a Quirk...

...but now I'm being too lazy to trim the 10 points.

Does having the ruler of the galaxy as your hated enemy give you a bonus?

And where's the blindsight?! Didn't you see the episode with the archers and the well? That is definatly required for Samurai Jack!

Hey 333,

Yeah, I guess that would be a weakness, considering that Aku tends to follow him in different guises.

No, I haven't seen that ep (I'm a relatively recent convert), but Blindsight does make sense...

Hahaha for some reason when I saw this, I thought of Samurai Jack's creator Tartakovsky's OTHER creation, Dexter's Laboratory.

That might be a fun game as well.
