Re: J-Mart: LADIES WEEK! Warrior Woman, Sin, Power Princess, Lady Shiva, Lady Vic
Did the artist just paste an actual photo of a gun in one of her hands? It looks very incongruent with the rest of the art. Should at least have drawn some black lineart over it haha

Re: Jab's Builds! (The Legion of Substitute Heroes! Thunder! Brainiac 5!)
I never played anything with the tabletop Champions, but at least the MMO mentions things like power armor technology having contributed to advances in prosthetics, and I think it mentioned something about various diseases being cured, too.

For her 7 dots of in Colleges, you probably want to prioritize the constellation of the Ewer, since that governs destinies of "romantic pursuit, partnership based in affection and love of dreams", has correlations to, among other things: love, righteousness, idealism, dreams and fantasies,...

Heck, even I am commenting on things despite having never read a single Legion comic in my whole life.

Re: Jab's Builds! (Invisible Kids! Ultra Boy! Sun Boy! Shrinking Violet!)
Chemical King sounds like a case of one writer creating the guy, and the next writer not really knowing how to make use of said power. I'll admit, of the sciences I studied, chemistry was my least favorite, and I'd have needed to break out a science book to have any idea on how to make those powers...

Re: Jab's Builds! (Shadow Lass! Tyroc! Invisible Kids! Ultra Boy!)
I also kind of like that the symbol on his chest is apparently suppose to be the energy beast that gave him his powers. I mean, Jo is technically an alien, and he got his powers from an intergalactic space creature, why wouldn't these guys have unique symbols and icons that humans wouldn't have a c...

Re: J-Mart: Playtest, Superboy, Kon-El, Daken, Donna Troy
For one of the Wonder Woman expies I made over the years, the solution to weapons or not was a gift from Hephaestus in the form of a magical "quicksilver" tool/weapon that could change shape, a la She-Ra but more versatile: lasso, sword, shield, axe, staff, spear, pole, ladder, rope and ho...

Re: Jab's Builds! (Havok! LOSH- Dream Girl! Star Boy! Colossal Boy!)
I know it is not depicted like that in the comics, but in a "realistic" LOSH there would be just so .much. sex . Whenever the Olympics happen, getting a whole bunch of young, extremely athletic people under one hoof in the Olympic village, there are ridiculous amounts of boning going on (f...

Re: Jab's Builds! (Mint-Berry Crunch! Coon & Friends! Aggressors of Dark Kombat!)
I think I mentioned this before, but a friend of mine once ran a game using the old Street Fighter RPG (with a bunch of house rules to make it more KoF-like) which was in some ways Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum...before that ga,e game actually existed, as he included in the campaign characters like Hayate...
