Re: Looking for suggestions/advice for a power build

These two powers would be alternates of each other, since they are different ways of using the same power. Would it just be one at a time? Or would there be a horde? Or would there be a horde of only one type? I've presumed that this power as first stated would be 'one at a time'. Additional advant...

Re: Looking for suggestions/advice for a power build

When creating dupes out of inanimate material it would be summon with the broad advantage and the source disadvantage, likely also the controlled advantage. For turning people into duplicates of himself it would be affliction with the extra condition advantage, the limited to third degree only disad...

Re: Eohippus

-Eohippus is as unimpressive an animal build as you're ever likely to see- a 22-pt. piece of nothing that's slow and not small enough to be truly evasive. It's a little strange that something like this has evolved into the mighty steeds of modern times. Yeah, there are some animals that you look at...

Re: JDRook's Revised DCA Builds - Batwoman! Beast Boy! Big Barda!

I mean it in the sense that she doesn't have a lot of big wins- she's merely treated like she's on that level rather than having accomplished the feats to justify it. I wasn't saying popularity is related to PL, but that her lack of popularity leads to a lack of focus, which means she doesn't get t...

Re: JDRook's Revised DCA Builds - Batwoman! Beast Boy! Big Barda!

Barda is a weird one- the status and implied powers of a mega-powerhouse, but is also a D-tier character who has had maybe two pushes in forty years, so she's never gotten much of a "big win" against a proven character or anything. So she should presumably have a high PL, but has done alm...

Re: Jab's Animal Builds (Rats! Desert Rodents! Squirrels!)

Mammals in general seem really bad about keeping out of the way of traffic (that includes us humans). Oddly enough birds seem to be extraordinarily good at dodging vehicles. I have seen pigeons take to the air to go over the top of an oncoming car, clearing it by inches, then settling right back whe...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Supreme! The Savage Dragon! Rapture! Freak Force!)

She's still around in the comic, making very occasional appearances. It isn't clear how old she is for whatever she is. Other characters in the comic tend to regard her as a bit insane. She can be rather animalistic in her behaviour, she often goes about on all fours, and if startled and distressed ...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Prophet! Supreme! Suprema! The Savage Dragon!)

yeah, my friend was telling me about how it gets graphic on waves. Like it’ll be pretty smutty in the first years, then pretty chaste, and now you’ll see borderline porn. I looked at some stuff online and it was JUST on the edge of hardcore, with Malcolm with a whole group of people in a gangbang, ...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Prophet! Supreme! Suprema! The Savage Dragon!)

Erik Larsen has now killed off the original Dragon of the series for good it seems. His son Malcolm Dragon is now the Savage Dragon and actually as a hero is a lot more competent and a better fighter than his dad was ever portrayed as being. The series hit a very bad patch in the 150's to 160's, wit...

Re: Jab's Animal Builds (Lion! American Lion! Tiger! Smilodon!)

An early appearance by the Manticore in fantasy fiction was in E.R.Eddison's 'The Worm Ouroboros' in 1922. The heroes of the story fight one while climbing a mountain.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Janne! Geegus! Neo-Dio! Image- WildC.A.T.s!)

I'm a longstanding fan of the era and have read a lot of the work mentioned here, and done builds for them. For all its many, many flaws the comics at least had energy and action. The biggest sin of any work in my opinion is being dull. I know the dialogue is often excruciating, but I often cope wit...

Re: J-Mart Prime: Question - Who Is Marvel's Big 3? Or is it 5?

The big three of DC is actually now I think Superman, Batman and Harley Quinn . I would even argue that she is now a bigger comics character than Superman and second only to Batman. Batman though is a cultural juggernaut who is bigger than all other comics characters put together, DC, Marvel or any ...

Re: Emma's M&M2E Builds: Dreadnought, Zatanna

Dreadnought looks interesting, with an icon of the eponymous battleship on her cloak fastener. That was a Royal Navy ship, is she a British superhero? The name has come to be applied to any war machine that is exceptionally powerful and scary though.

Re: J-Mart II: Deathstroke the Terminator

Deathstroke is always a deadly guy, there's a reason he's not only a major villain but one of DC's biggest characters in his own right. The current comics Deathstroke is an absolute monster, with a super-soldier serum that makes him pretty much Wolverine, along with a special 'Ikon' suit that gives ...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Sailor Jupiter! Sailor Venus! The Amazon Trio!)

I never knew Sailor Moon was this incredibly weird, it's a garish cavalcade of madness. Also it seems rather stripperific and risque for something ostensibly aimed at little girls. I'm not a great consumer of anime and manga, I only go through the occasional title or show, this sort of stuff just is...
