Super Hero Classes

[roguerouge]

Batman: if bluff and UMD were class skills it'd be urban ranger, but it seems to be the rogue (skills, sneak attacks, UMD=tech)

Superman: DM pet

Spiderman: variant Bard/Monk (no other class has that kind of crazy mobility)

Wolverine: Barbarian (damage soak, sudden power-ups, damage resistance)

Night Crawler: Sorcerer

Professor X: Gurps Spell-caster (DnD doesn't give you such a crazy disadvantage to balance a crazy advantage)

The Joker: assassin

The Punisher: Ghost walker (that prestige class where you come back after losing a battle with bonuses)

Dr.Manhattan: psion (he's not messing around with bat guano)

The Comedian: CE barbarian

Ozymandias: Expert (major power is economics and technology)

Nite Owl: Commoner (he's the everyman of the book, his powers are all given to him rather than invented or earned)

 

[Drowbane]

Angel (L/G): simply a 1/2 celestial monk (archangel would have some sort of template to boost abilities).

Hulk (C/N): this guy possibly breaks tons of rules... but if you squint your eyes it all works out. Human Stony (DR) 1/2 green dragon (high Str) Werebear (more high str) Fighter X / War Hulk 10 (yet higher strength, ability to hit as AoE). He only qualifies for his PrC while in Bear or Hybrid form. Add in that his templates only apply to those forms and you're set. Large & green & ridiculously strong.

Ironman (??/??): Warforged Incarnate | Totemist (or Warlock?). Basicly uses soulmelds/invocations to represent advanced warforged technology.

Sabertooth (C/E): As wolverine, plus the 1/2 ogre template from Dragon (size large wolvie, claws just described differently).

Superman (L/G): Paragon Human Warlock. With some monk for unarmed combat and the ability to subdue without penalty. Some feats: Vow of Peace / Poverty. His alignment breaks the normal rules for warlocks, meh.

Wolverine (C/G): Feral (claw upgrade, and fast healing) Stony (DR 8/adamantine)Anthromorphic Wolverine (claws, awesome stats including a high con, Rage when hit in combat) Fighter X / Frenzied Berserker Y. Some feats: instanteous rage (near constantly raging), destructive & intimidating rage (prereqs for Frenzied Berserker), righteous wrath (Exalted - only thing keeping Wolverine from tearing apart the rest of the X-men )

~~~

A work in progress.

What is UMD?

The comedian is not evil, in the long run he stands for what be believed to be right. Even though he is seen as the bad guy because he raped the first silk specter even she doesn't see him as the bad guy. He, like all of us has temporary moral lapses however he shows regret towards these actions in the future. Also he is such an awsome guy even the woman he almost raped still loved him enough to have his baby. And on the other subjectof the pregnant lady he killed to justify those actions i will remind youof the fact that he just beat the Veitnam war and that she lacerated his ever beautiful, ever sexy face. The Comedian is a hero who had a few lapses in judgement. He isn't evil.

And Nite Owl invented most of his gadgets

Use Magic Device. The ability to use devices even if you're not a caster.

You've just described many villains: people who could have been heroes had they had better character and less moral lapses with permanent consequences.

The first Nite Owl, I thought. But I was wrong.

Deadpool --- Expert 2/Barbarian 5/Rogue 5/Fighter 4 + healing factor

no the comedian is a hero. is batman evil because he owns a large corporations and large corporations tend to hurt people

 

[Asha'man]

The Comedian is textbook chaotic evil. Selfish, violent, undisciplined and completely void of empathy. The comparison with batman appears as a total non-sequitur to me.

Chaotic Evil

Chaotic evil is referred to as the "Destroyer" or "Demonic" alignment. Characters of this alignment tend to have little respect for rules, other peoples' lives, or anything but their own selfish desires. They typically only behave themselves out of fear of punishment.
According to the Complete Scoundrel sourcebook, Carl Denham from King Kong and Riddick from Pitch Black are chaotic evil.[6] The exemplars of chaotic evil are the Tanar'ri.


Chaotic Neutral

Chaotic neutral is called the "Anarchist" or "Free Spirit" alignment. A character of this alignment is an individualist who follows his or her own heart, shirks rules and traditions. They typically act out of self-interest, but do not specifically enjoy seeing others suffer. Many adventurers are of this alignment.
An unusual subset of chaotic neutral is "strongly chaotic neutral", describing a character who behaves chaotically to the point of appearing insane. Characters of this type may regularly change their appearance and attitudes for the sake of change, and intentionally disrupt organizations for the sole reason of disrupting a lawful construct. Characters of this type include the Xaositects from the Planescape setting, and Hennet from the third edition Player's Handbook. In Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, chaotic neutral was frequently assumed to refer to this subset.
Captain Jack Sparrow, Al Swearengen from the TV series Deadwood, and Snake Plissken from Escape from New York are verifiably chaotic neutral characters.[6] Slaadi represent pure chaos.


The Comedian is CN, not CE over the course of his life he had two major lapses of judgement, couple this with the fact that he spends his time saving hostages and controlling mobs for the goverment and you begin to see that he is a CN hero. The Comedian is "strongly" chaotic neutral because he is unpredictable but his unpredictability often causes people to perceive him as evil. However i would like to remind you he died trying to stop Ozymadias from using his phycic bomb to kill half of newyork.
