Yellow Sign's WWII M&M OOC.

[yakov]In Communist Russia, superheroes beat up YOU![/yakov]

What do you mean 'still part of the allies'? They'd only just joined

Okay, so now we need an Aussie and a Free Frenchman... then we'll have the full set of Nations People Forget Were In The War!

Just personally, I hope the number of supers on both sides is fairly limited. Did I mention Godlike-like is good-like? Another thought... Normandy hasn't happened yet, so I guess we're going to be on commando raids at first, rather than spearheadin' the troops.

Alrighty, boys and girls, we have a Rogues Gallery ! Form an orderly queue, no shoving except with the hands, no biting except with the teeth, no gouging except in the eyes.

Yellow, I got some points that need your examination.

1) His ability to apply the Featherstone Knack to any sniper rifle, via a power stunt. I reckon that the device flaw still applies, as he needs a specific (and somewhat rare) item, but the stunt means that it isn't a unique item.

2) The Accuracy extra on the Featherstone Knack (based on *this* , allowing him to add his power rank to attack rolls when using that power.

3) The extended Surprise Strike range. My logic went like this: The ability to SS is based on being able to place an attack precisely. Normally, you can SS within 30' (3 sight range increments for a normal person). So, as Lucian's visual RI's are x1024 longer than normal, I figured the same proportion would apply. His advantage is he can place a shot that accuratly over extreme range due to his long sightedness.

Well, since we're going WWII, Fat Elvis won't work.

So, I suppose I'll shoot for a French Jew who escaped from the Vichy regime. No real idea about powers, et cetera, but something will come to me this weekend.

Really it's the Americans that have just joined! The British, French, and Russians have been going at it for a while now!

Yes the number of Super powered beings on each side is limited. Your group is what the Allies have been able to put together. Though there are a few other Allied heroes around. Just not many.

As for the fighting, The Germans are pushing into Russia, Rommel is still fighting in North Africa, and the Japanese are expanding their control in the Pacific.

My concept so far is Minuteman, an American speedster. Super-speed 5ish (think Quicksilver or the Wizzer rather than the Flash), a few gadgets (musket maybe), some regeneration (rapid superspeed healing), and a bucket of skills. Former scientist declared unfit for active service because of homefront expertise experiences accident in the lab, gains powers and the War Department changes his status.

Before I crack out the mechanics is the concept too campy?

I'm going to dig through my copy of Chris Cloutier's WW2 Champions supplement and look through the online toonepedia for additional inspiration. Somebody give me feedback.

That's true. Russians for almost a year, Americans for two months or so.

The concept sounds fine to me. A musket? Oh, wait, for the revolutionary imagery, right?

Can you give me the site of that 'toonopedia'?

Sound great to me!

 

[Yellow Sign]

I really dig the WWII idea, Yellow Sign!

One question: Does this take place in the Freedom City and/or Meta-4 universe? I.E., are the Liberty League and/or Homefront around, or is it just our group and GM-devised characters?

EDIT: Okay, this isn't definent, but I just had an idea for my PC... Red Bear, a Soviet powerhouse/totem mix. I think it'd be interesting to throw a Soviet in the mix, since they were still part of the Allies. If you'd rather I not, Yellow Sign, let me know and I'll figure out something else.

Well since I currently don't have the Freedom City book, I will have to say no it's not. But I am headed to my FLGS, so I might pick it up there. But at the moment lets say no. This will be a homegrow campaign.

A Soviet hero would be great!

The musket won't really be a 'musket,' just look like one. Some kind of Weapon, probably. Also powderhorn, etc. Can't think of an appropriate Weakness that's not too cheesy, but we'll see how it evolves once I hit the write-up phase.

I guess that leaves me the Aussie. Good thing, cuz if I was the Frenchman, my name would have to be White Flag . I'll probably have a guy that can survive in extreme conditions (like a crocodile dundee type) and very versatile.
