[M&M] The Uncanny X-Men (PL10)

[Chaldfont]

I have been reading the Essential X-Men, reprints of the classic days of the late 70's and early 80's X-Men. They are great stories and its cool to see how these now famous characters came about.

In order to introduce my players to Mutants & Masterminds, I thought I would run an X-Men game. I've seen a couple versions of stats for the X-Men, but these are usually high PL representing the heroes at the height of their careers. But I want to play them as they were when Charles Xavier first invited them to his school. I want to play them as starting M&M characters--PL 10.

So here is my take on the X-Men, PL10. I know the fanboys will want to tear up my stats, quoting issue number and all, but my intent is to just get close.

Wolverine

Wolverine PL 10 (circa 1980)

Str 18
Dex 16
Con 20
Int 12
Wis 18
Cha 16
(40 pp)

Saves: Fort +7, Ref +7, Will +9, Dmg +5 (+13 vs bludgeoning).
BAB +3, Melee +7, Ranged +6 (9 pp).

Feats: Attack Focus (claws), Dodge, Great Fortitude, Rapid Strike, Track, Indomitable Will. (12 pp)

Powers:
Adamantium-laced Skeleton (src: tech, 26 pp)
[Amazing Save (Damage) +8 (flaw: only vs bludgeoning); Natural Weapons (claws) +8; Super-Strength +4; Penetrating Attack x3]
Regeneration +10 (src: mutation, 30 pp) [power stunts: Immunity (aging, disease, poison), Scent, Endurance]
Amazing Save (Reflex) +4 (src: training, 4pp)
Amazing Save (Will) +5 (src: training, 5pp).

Attacks:
Claws +8/+14L
unarmed +7/+8S

Notes: I'm still not happy with these stats. Do they do justice to Wolverine's legendary tracking abilities? Would some Super-Senses be in order? What about his incredible psychic defenses? Is Indomitable Will and a Will save of +9 good enough? What about the cool Regeneration extras? I considered adding Durability as a power stunt too.

On the cost of Adamantium Skeleton: As this is one big power package, I discounted 8 pp for the flaw on Amazing Save (Damage).
