Re: Jab’s Builds! (Kamikaze! Sumo! Forearm! Dragoness! Reaper!)
[quote=Ares post_id=176179 time=1677093130 user_id= Conversely, I think any superhero who doesn't have some level of superhuman durability or some similar defense should have a costume made of 'bullet proof spandex' the way Batman, Nightwing and others have.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Kamikaze! Sumo! Forearm! Dragoness! Reaper!)
At least in the case of villainous technological gimmick guys, like the Vulture or Captain Cold, there’s the in-built excuse of villains being selfish, egotistical, jealous, and/or petty. Adrian Toomes isn’t going to tell Norman Osborn how to make a flying suit… and Osborn is going to be convinced o...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Kamikaze! Sumo! Forearm! Dragoness! Reaper!)
Given the general trend of the Nineties X-Books to make characters use guns, cybernetics, guns, katanas, guns, knives, guns, swords, and sometimes guns while only ever occasionally remembering that mutants are supposed to have mutant powers, it almost makes a weird sort of sense that what looks like...

Re: Quantumania
Oh, yeah, this review stuff is subjective as heck. I make no claims to being the one and only true arbiter of what movies are good or bad. I just think Davies’ opinion on Corey Stoll’s performance is an odd one. It felt way too much like the Saturday Morning cartoon villain buffoonery of the Skeleto...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Wildside! Kamikaze! Sumo! Forearm! Dragoness!)
It should be the one on the bottom, with the tip sort of lined up with the top of Shatterstar’s boot, as it’s supposed to be Reaper’s left hand. But it looks more like an alien tarantula than a human hand. And let’s not even get into what in the name of Bibendum is going on with Shatterstar’s anatomy.

You left out his secondary mutation that makes his thumb and pinkie finger the exact same length and shape as his ring and index fingers.

Quantumania
Well… That happened. The world’s first two hours (and five minute!) length teaser trailer for a Disney+ streaming series. There have only ever been two MCU films released in February. Black Panther was released in February 2018 because that’s Black History Month in the U.S. but I feel like Quantuman...

Re: Jab's Power Profiles: Comprehend! Communication!
I think this is a power that is too expensive at low levels, but too cheap at high ones -- being able to communicate with everyone in the universe should probably cost more than 25 points. Sure that sounds impressive but realistically how often would that actually be useful in a game or story? ATTE...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Stryfe! Zero! Wildside! Kamikaze! Sumo! Forearm!)
Wait… She’s from Detroit? I recently did a spat of builds based on all the comic book and action-adventure heroes I could find that were from Detroit and not one of them mentioned Thumbelina. Detroit comic book nerds are so desperate for attention that we claim Vibe and Gypsy, fercrissakes. Not only...

You should have seen what Indonesian sun and humidity did to me… I’m English. Shudder. The sun is the ancient enemy of my people.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Stryfe! Zero! Wildside! Kamikaze! Sumo! Forearm!)
Forearm probably has the most potential of any of the M.L.F.s to be turned into something more interesting. Every team needs a “big guy” and ideally that “big guy” is also visually distinctive to better stand out in group shots… and Forearm certain does. His exact level of strength and stamina still...

Re: Jab's Rifts Builds (Dinosaur Swamp Gear & Summation!)
I’ve leafed through it at the FLGS. I used to be rather fond of Big Book O Random Charts style books as aides for GMing, especially ones that were written in a mostly system agnostic format (and to this day I still get a lot of use out of Stars Without Number and Worlds Without Number ). I would alm...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Saojin! Lotus Master! MLF!! Stryfe!)
Artists seem to love animalistic claw guys. There’s thousands of them. You’ve got Cheetah, Tigra, Wolfsbane, Feral, Wildside, Wyld Chyld, Fang (of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard), X-23, Sabertooth, Wolverine, and perhaps the grand-daddy of them all Timberwolf of the Legion… But there are thousands more, ...
