[M&M] The Unofficial Marvel Character Stats Thread

He needs cosmic rays to recharge, similarly to Cyclops. While this isnt usually a problem since the cosmic rays he constantly absorbs are described as being pretty much everywhere, he was sealed off from accessing them before. Anyone have any ideas as to how should I handle this?

If it's not a common enough problem to count as a normal Flaw or Weakness, I guess just note it down as a special effect, like a sonic attack not working in vacuum. A GM could occasionally set up a situation where Havok is cut off from cosmic rays, and decide his power degrades as he uses up stored energy. And there could also be situations where an intense supply of cosmic rays allows Havok to use extra effort more easily with his power.

TedJMill: Thanks. I was ambivelent about giving a flaw to something like that, but working it as a special effect sounds good.

Neowolf: Sure - - I use AIM, screenname's HonorShadow. About the X-Men run through...Im just trying to get back into the loop as well, but here's what I do understand:

The New X-Men are mostly comprised of old members (go figure) - Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Professor X, the White Queen, Beast and some new guy who has the energy of a star for a head (or something like that). They operate out of and run the academy...which is now an open school for mutants.

Uncanny X-Men is comprised of Nightcrawler, Iceman, Angel, Wolverine (again), Stacy X (new girl who can control pheromones), Juggernaut, Chamber and I think Husk now.

X-Treme X-Men seems to be the most like the 90's style X-Men...Storm, Bishop, Gambit, Rogue, Tessa/Sage (the woman who used to give advice to Sebastian Shaw I think), Beast (again) and up until her recent death; Psylocke.

X-Force: The original X-Force disbanded (supposedly barely escaping death) through some odd way shortly after Pete Wisdom (Excaliber) took to leading the team. While I wish they hadn't cancelled it, the art and stories werent that great by the end.

X-Factor: Im not sure how it ended, but probably with Havoks dissapearance.

Generation X: With the death of Moira MacTaggart, Banshee kind of lost it and started drinking heavily. The students realized that they learned a lot, but maybe it was time to move on. At the same time, Chamber receives a letter saying he's graduated to the X-Men. The rest write a letter to Emma saying that they're leaving, thanking them etc. Emma accepts Prof. X's offer to join the X-Men.

Big Events:
*Moira MacTaggart is dead, killed by Mystique I think.
*Legacy virus is cured, only due to Colossus' self-sacrifice.
*Psylocke is dead.
*Bishops first name is Lucas.
*Banshee formed some militaristic organization called the X-Corps for a while; members include Avalanche, Blob, Jubilee, Multiple Man (I think). It might have been shut down.
*Shadowcat left the superhero world for a bit after Colossus' death, going off to college. However...she has a mini series called Mechanix out written by Claremont.
*Professor X can walk (again) I believe.
*Magneto's dead. Good ol' Wolverine delivered the final blow.

There...that about covers what I know. :D

Good god almighty, that's a lot... (though I shouldn't be surprised, considering I stopped reading right after the Onslaught story arc) I had heard about Colossus, so that's no surprise, but the deaths of Moira, Psylocke, and Magneto are news to me. I'm not sure how much more you know, but what about these characters?

-Skin
-Synch
-Cannonball
-Cable
-X-Man (the Nate Grey version, survived the Age of Apocalypse)
 

Enough X-Men for the moment...how about the Fantastic Four? His Nova ability was a bit hard to handle (but keeps inline with the comic description) - - any opinions?

Elemental Control +12:
The Human Torch possesses the mental ability to control ambient heat energy and the physical ability to envelop his entire body or portions of his body with fiery plasma without harm to himself. (Plasma is a super-heated stated of matter such as exists in the atmosphere of stars.)
The Human Torch can generate shapes composed of fire from any point on his body. (He usually employs his hands to "sculpt" the flames.) He can form fire into long streams, spheres, or even more complex shapes like letters in skywriting. These flames-objects will only remain their shapes as long as he concentrates upon them. The objects will only burn about 3 minutes before expiring unless the Torch continues to infuse them with energy. The temperature of these fiery projections is generally around 2,800 F (near the melting point of iron).
The Human Torch's plasma has a high hydrogen content, and is surrounded by an exuded cloud of mono-atomic hydrogen atoms. This hot cloud provides sufficient positive buoyancy for him to float. With mental stimulation of his flame, he can provide enough lift to carry 180 pounds. By forming a jet from his feet, directed behind him, he can achieve speeds up to at least 140 miles per hour.
The Human Torch has the ability to mentally control the ambient heat energy within his immediate environment, even when he himself is not aflame. He can reduce objects' temperatures (if they are in a normal range for existing on Earth's surface) to about 30 F, raise them to several hundred degrees, or extinguish open flames. His radius of influence is about 80 feet. The heat energy he takes from the environment is absorbed into his own body. If he takes in a critical amount while he is not aflame, he will become aflame. There are unknown limits to the amount of flame he can absorb into his own body harmlessly while he is himself aflame.

[Extras: Elemental Movement (Fire - grants Flight), Shape Element, Elemental Absorption; Power Stunts: Energy Blast (Lethal), Create Element, Destroy Element Source: Cosmic Radiation; Cost: 5pp.]

Energy Field (Fire) +10:
The Human Torch can choose to engulf himself in flames, causing harm to any of those who touch him. He can also “go Nova” releasing all his stored energy in one concussive blast.
[Extras: Selective, Nova* (see below for details); Source: Cosmic Radiation; Cost: 4pp.]

Characteristics
Real Name: Jonathan (“Johnny”) Storm
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 170 lbs.
Eye Color: Blue.
Hair Color: Blond.
First Appearance: Fantastic Four #1

Personality
The Human Torch is a hothead in every sense of the word. He’s often cocky and somewhat arrogant, and likes playing practical jokes on people.

History
See The Marvel Directory for a detailed history of Havok.


*Extra - Nova: By “going Nova” the Torch can release all of his body's stored energy in one intense, omni-directional "nova-burst," which can reach about 1,000,000 F, and which is similar to the heat-pulse of a nuclear warhead detonation. This is an area attack, centered on you, that affects all targets within (Energy Field rank X 75 feet). Targets make a reflex save (DC 10 + Energy Field rank) to avoid taking damage. If failed, the Nova blast acts as a Lethal attack with a damage bonus equal to twice your power rank in Energy Field. After this act, the user immediately becomes exhausted and is unable to use any powers without at least 12 hours of rest. This attack can only be done once a month and lowers the users Energy Field rank by 1 per use.
 

Whats wrong with having seperate threads for different groups? It won't be spamming if the threads cover different mateial. I think it's a better idea to leave the various X Men in their own thread and start other threads for the Fantastic Four, misc marvel heroes and villains.

BTW, you did'nt do the writeup on Professor X yet, The main X man:). Once again, great writeups
 

Thanks. :)

I'll write up Prof. X next. Heh, I was worried about spamming the d20 system forum with different marvel character threads, but I guess your right that it isn't spam if its actually useful/different material. Still...I'll wait til this one dies down a bit before starting any new ones up at least. :D
 

Erm I dont think Wolvie killed Magneto. the last time you see him is *just* before the Sentinels attack Genosha. He is sitting ina wheelchair looking out a window when the Sentinals show up.


What issues did you read that had Wolvie *killing* him?
 

Hm...I'm fairly certain Wolvie killed him in the final battle on Genosha. It was around when the second stringers Jean brought in to rescue Prof X. from Magneto were around, and Wolverine, Cyclops and Jean were there fighting him on Genosha. I'll look around for the ish, I might be wrong.
 

Its in New X-Men. Even after Genosha was wiped out it showed Polaris reciecing a magnetic message from Magneto (though its assumed the Sentinels killed him along with all the other mutnats on Genosha
