Abilities 66 + Skills 7 (14 ranks) + Advantages 5 + Powers 59 + Defenses 13 = 150 / 150

Build and Background Comments: Jason is obviously a Spider-Man riff with a twist. I've always enjoyed the idea of a Rogue's Gallery and this setting seems perfect for that kind of potential game play.

Jason tested out of high school at the age of sixteen, after his parents died in a car wreck under mysterious circumstances. Three years later he is a grad student at John Hopkins University. He came into his powers his Freshman year as an intern for the research department in one of New York's biggest tech companies. While maintaining and monitoring an experiment for a Quantum Matter Transfer Device, the city was hit with a class 4 Hurricane.

Lightning struck the research laboratory Jason was in, and he was caught in the explosion while trying to shut down the generator whose safeties had been destroyed by the storm. He woke up in the ruined laboratory covered in spider bites from the arachnids that has somehow escaped the QMTR's containment chamber. Fire was spreading up and down the building and Jason was trapped on the top floor. Firefighters couldn't reach him and his mind was screaming for him to do the impossible and jump.

With the building collapsing underneath him, Jason somehow knew no matter how crazy it sounded, he was in more danger staying than trying to jump to the closet building. With a running start he jumped eyes closed and felt a .... blink. Feeling twisted around, Jason opened his eyes and found himself clinging to the side of the neighboring building looking down across four lanes of traffic at the emergency vehicles far below.

That dark evening after "borrowing" some Under Armor from a local sporting goods store, he helped another hero capture the weather villain Stormlord. Jason now continues studying to follow in his parents footsteps as a scientist during the day and protects the citizens of New York from predators at night.

Abilities 98 + Skills 6 (12 ranks) + Advantages 10 + Powers 46 + Defenses 7 = 167 / 167

Original Build Comments: The Huntsman is a flying warrior capable of holding his own in a fight but excels as a scout. Without access to a laptop at the moment I cribbed Thorpocolypse's most current Wonder Woman build and built around the theme of an Olympian Ranger type. Huntsman is the son of Artemis and Orion, a born tracker, he was raised as such by his mother after his father's death. At the behest of Zeus the Orionson spent centuries working for Hades by tracking those who had escape his Underworld. Tricked by Circe into killing one of Zeus's favored pets, he was forced to spend an thousand years in the dark of Tartarus.

Once released from his bonds, Orionson was banished to the Earth and now searches for his place in an unfamiliar world. He wears the bracers upon his wrist that are the remnants of the manacles which once held him captive. Doc Steel has been tracking rumors of an individual who worked in the shadows and away from society bringing down beast and men the normal authorities couldn't find or get to. Recently the carcass of a Wendigo was discovered by Mounties on the outskirts of Toronto. Doc has a strong lead and thinks he finally has a chance of discovering who this unknown Huntsman.

Build Comments: The idea of playing a mech-pilot in a star spanning epic adventure drew me to the game. I was in the military overseas a lot before giant robots and anime hit it big in the States, so I missed fads like video games, the Internet, MtG and others in the 90s. I did play tabletop Battletech with friends afterwards for a decade, so this is a blend of what was and what could have been. Thanks.

Before he was the Master Chief, Michael Faraday was just an enlisted engineer aiding Project: Lazarus. It was just one of many such projects aimed at reverse engineering the technology of the Ancients. This one in an isolated backwater system on the edge the frontier. Led by the man who would one day become the "Admiral", Michael was one of a handful of technicians deemed to have the Ancient-gene.

This is still a work in progress but it finally has a character to go with the Mech :)

COMPLICATIONS:
Amnesia: The procedure caused large gaps in Tomm's memory. He can feel the love he had for his family but cannot remember their names and faces.

Protective: Though he has bouts of depression and can be prone to violence, some of his old personality remains and he is protective of children and the elderly.

Loyal: Amanda Waller's promise to cure him of being Clayface and restore his memories has garnered her a loyal soldier. Lord save her soul from Clayface's retribution if she can't.

Abilities 64 + Skills 20 (40 ranks) + Advantages 7 + Powers 49 + Defenses 10 = 150 / 150

Build Comments: Based off of Todd Russell from the DCA/H&V books. Changed the name to Tomm because two Todds would be confusing and who seriously wouldn't want Jason Todd on the Suicide Squad :-) I would have added a few other bits here and there but it seemed they could wait. A bit of a point sink, I decided I had to improve his Impervious to the point he would be bulletproof in Clay Form ... because he is. Other than that it's pretty much borrowed from Thor's Clayface and the DCA books dropped to PL10 and given appropriate skills for an army engineer. I also added darkvision because it always seems he gets around unhindered in the sewers and muck.

Origin and Background:

Tomm Russell was a U.S. Army soldier who received serious, disfiguring injuries in the line of duty, after which he was used as a guinea pig for experiments by the D.E.O. Treated with a compound similar to that used on Basil Karlo, Russell developed identical powers, but it also erased most of his memories.

When Tomm Russell escaped captivity, he became mentally unstable due to the experimental treatments that he was subjected to. The vague memories of a wife who had cheated while he was overseas and self conscious about his appearance, he began killing prostitutes in order to satisfy his violent tendencies.

Surfacing in Gotham City, Russell began killing prostitutes from the East End, attracting the attention of Catwoman, the East End's sworn protector. Despite having a sheer strength advantage over Catwoman, she managed to defeat him by trapping him inside a freezer. Afterwards, he was placed in cryogenic containment at S.T.A.R. Labs.

Two years later, Russell was inadvertently sprung by Catwoman when she stole his container from S.T.A.R. Labs without fully knowing what it was. He later aided her in defeating Hugo Strange's gang by posing as Catwoman and staging her death by getting "killed" by Angle Man. Yeah ... he jobbed for Catwoman.

Since then, Russell has been serving his prison term in Belle Reve. Psychological counseling has "cured" him of the chemically induced psychosis to kill women who looked like his wife. Still subject to bouts of depression and violent outburst Amanda Waller has promised him a true cure and release after serving on the Suicide Squad.

Abilities 80 + Skills 19 (38 ranks) + Advantages 11 + Powers 42 + Defenses 13 = 165 / 166

Build and Background Comments:
The character has elements of Sasquatch, the Beast, Badrock, and even Spider-Man. If Peter Parker was mutant, Canadian, and embraced his powers this might be the direction he would go. Dark and brooding is way overdone in my opinion. Lebron James, move over. Beast is in town and it's time for a young hero to revel in his potential.

Beast has become a popular figure since arriving from the Great White North. Serving with the Titans, a group of young apprentice heroes, he spent his high school years learning how to control his strength and adapting to a metropolitan environment. Each of the Titans were proud of their team, but dreamed of the day the would shed the label sidekick and join the world's greatest superheroes. Beast never dreamed his chance would come the way in which it did.

He was asked to join when Luminescent, Ogre and Shade were killed in China. Beast was there, assisting with the prisoner transfer, and held his Mentor Ogre in his arms when the veteran hero died that day. Ogre had found Beast in the Canada, and with the assistance of an Inuit shaman, convinced Beast he was destined for great things if only he had the courage to step forward. When Ogre died it took months for Beast to recover .... and just when Beast was beginning to feel he could continue on, to be the hero Ogre had told him he could be, tragedy struck again.

Two of the team had quit and more young heroes were called up to take there place. Beast was ecstatic over being reunited with his former Titan team mates. Only a couple weeks had gone by when the worst was about to happen. Called to Empire College, the team was investigating a possible threat, one that was quickly dismissed. Dismissed far to quickly. Sonnet had her throat ripped out, and Pillar's family were killed in the incident. The team's veteran members decided to disband the team and being left out in the cold was chilling, even for a Beast from the Great White North.

It took time, but eventually Beast would recover. He couldn't go back to the Titans. He was getting older and most of the team were a younger generation being tutored by Pillar. Beast just couldn't stand to see the pain in the man's eyes day after day thinking somehow he could have, should have saved his wife and daughter. So instead, he returned to Canada, and started taking courses at Ottawa University. He wasn't in his father's league as a geneticist, and hadn't declared a major yet, but Beast was excelling in various medical and science courses.

When the video of at the end of his Sophomore year arrived in his email, he knew the nightmare wasn't over, that it had never ended really, just put on hold for two years. When Anaaya arrived at his dorm room, Beast has been watching the video all night. In shock, rerunning Sonnet's death over and over and over for hours .... and the words scrolling across the screen .... I'm coming for you.
I think there is enough differences between Justitia and Beast that we can consider them a Thor / Hulk combo .... Pretty sure we know who is who there ;)

The past few months he has been assisting NUSA recon teams operating out of abandoned military bases around Colorado Springs.

Abilities 50 + Skills 17 (34 ranks) + Advantages 9 + Powers 37 + Defenses 7 = 120 / 120

Background
Real Name: Inagawa Akashi "Kai"
Occupation: Student
Date of Birth: January 8, 1999 (Age 17)
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 210 lbs.
Build: Athletic Ectomorph
Race: Human
Identity: Secret
Relationships: Inagawa Kakuji (father), Catherine Inagawa (mother), Inagawa Matthew (younger half-brother)
Legal Status: Citizen of Japan with no criminal record.

History: Kai's mother died of cancer when he as six years old. His memories of her are a montage of her happily preparing tea for his father in the kitchen mixed with comforting words and smiling during her chemo treatments. Her last words were to tell him to save his father. So as he grew he worked hard in school, studied his martial arts and even showed respect to the gaijin tutor who would become pregnant with his father's child.

Kakuji refused to allow his son to be involved in the family business. He had promise his wife their son would never have a place in the organization, to pass leadership to his brother as soon as possible. Always intending to keep his word, Kakuji never kept more than half of his promise. Kai suspected something of his father's activities but was never allowed to know more than some of his father's businesses weren't strictly legal.

Shortly after his fifteenth birthday, Kai became very ill during a karate tournament. Rushed to the hospital, he spent three days undergoing test. It was discovered that Kai was suffering from the same form of cancer that had killed his mother. It had riddled his bones and the doctors considered it a miracle not to have spread into his organs already. Inagawa Kakuji didn't believe in miracles however. Refusing to let this disease take his son as it had his wife, he used all his considerable influence and contacts to get his son the best medical treatment possible.

Kai struggled with trying to accept what was to come with his mother's strength and worried for his father's unbalanced spirit. The only way he knew to be true to the promise to his mother was to be what his father needed. So he agreed to all the treatments standard and experimental. Even when they made him sick and struggling to eat, he fought for his father. He fought until he became so sick he felt like he wanted to die rather than be injected with one more bag of chemicals, to be flooded one more time with radiation.

* Advantages due to Presence bonus

POWERS:
Invulnerability: Enhanced Advantages [Die Hard, Great Endurance, Immunity 10 (Life Support); 12 pts
Powers Far Beyond Those of Mortal Women: 24 pt Array; 25 pts
Heat Vision: Ranged Heat Energy Damage 12; 24 pts
Super Senses: Senses 24 (Normal Hearing [Acute, Extended 2], Vision Penetrates Concealment ([Extended 3] Flaw: Cannot see through lead), Normal Vision [Extended 3], Infravision [Extended 3], Microscopic Vision 4 [Atomic], Ultra-Hearing [Extended 2]); 1 pt

Space Travel: Movement 1 (Space Travel 1); 1 pt

EQUIPMENT:
NONE

OFFENSE:
Initiative +10
Close Attack +3
Unarmed +9 [Unarmed +13]
Ranged Attack +2
Heat Vision +10 [Heat Vision +12]

DEFENSES:
Dodge +8 [DC18] Parry +8 [DC18]
Toughness +14, Fortitude +12, Will +9

COMPLICATIONS:

Responsibility: Supergirl feels a strong sense of responsibility to use her powers for the benefit of all.
Vulnerable: Kryptonians are as vulnerable to magic as anyone else. She loses her Invulnerability's Enhanced Advantages.
Weakness: Kryptonite...Its radiation saps the Strength and powers of Kryptonians, leaving them impaired, disabled, and eventually debilitated in terms of Strength and power effects. Long-term exposure (usually a matter of minutes, less for a large enough amount) imposes the dying condition and may lead to death.
Reckless: Kara often heads into the fray looking for the "biggest nail" that needs hammered down. This often puts her in danger and collateral damage is often a sorrowful afterthought.

Abilities 74 + Skills 8 (24 ranks) + Advantages 4 + Powers 61 + Defenses 20 = 167 / 170

Build Comments: Tweaked for GM analysis. After reviewing my three sources this is my initial outcome. I further tweaked Thor's E2 Superman build and added a bit more "quickness" to Kara. Anything that looks good is his doing and anything off is obviously mine to fix. Because of her origin she doesn't have many skills or advantages that made sense to me.

Short Origin: Kara is the daughter of a Alura and Zor-El. Born on Argo, Kara's parents sent her in a small space craft to Earth when Brainiac attacked Argo. Kara's ship was displaced through time and space when the explosion destroyed her planet. Arriving on Earth, Kara's ship crashed into Gotham City Bay. After being recovered by SHIELD, the agency turned her over to Superman. Soon after he had to leave her with the Amazons when he left to investigate the Death Star that had come to the attention on SHIELD. After training with the Amazons, Kara has taken on the mantle and identity of Supergirl and return to the world of man.

Man out of Time: Steve is only recently lifted from the year 1945. He is seventy years out of the time he use to know.
Patriotism: Next to Uncle Sam, he's the closest thing to a living embodiment of American Patriotism in the world.
Power Loss: If Cap misses his target badly, or an opponent catches his shield, etc. he will have to retrieve it, losing it’s powers and advantages.
Relationships: Steve has a close relationship with Natasha Romanov a former agent of the Soviet Union.
Responsibility: He feels a strong sense of responsibility for his country and the superhero community at large.

Abilities 78 + Skills 21 (63 ranks) + Advantages 35 + Powers 31 + Defenses 16 = 181 / 185

Build Comments: I stole bits and pieces from Jab's, Thor's, and Batgirl's Ready to Play builds and added my own take given Neo's campaign guidelines. I think it is a pretty good simulation considering the settings PL and environment. I think Cap worked best as PL10 here as he isn't the heavy hitter of a group but is designed to a force multiplier and combat melee / skill monkey.

I am bringing Cap in straight from the end of WWII. Natasha is working with SHIELD and they are dating and she is helping him adjust to modern culture. More comic less movie version of both. This is a man who just slipped out of time from five years at war and watching the A-bomb dropped on Nagasaki. He is not a naive golden aged hero. Not uber experiences aka long term Avenger or Commander Rogers but on his way.

His "Benefit" should reflect a positive response to his iconic reputation in appropriate social situations most similar to the Attractive Advantage at 2 points of effectiveness. Steve is socially oriented and aware the effect heroes are having on a world not "raised" with a slow growth of superhumans. Cap was one of the first through the Merge and has been working closely with SHIELD and Homeland Security since his arrival.

In his timeline he worked with the Invaders, knows Thor, Logan, Uncle Sam, yes that Uncle Sam and Commander Steel. Whether any of them are in this time line is another thing altogether. Any two elements Neo wants to incorporate into our stories works for me. Being an Icon comes with its built in benefits and complications. I say "Bring em on."

Abilities 80 + Skills 10 (20 ranks) + Advantages 20 (24) + Powers 37 + Defenses 5 = 156/156

Build Comments: I'm combining two of my favorite Justice Leaguers thanks to inspiration from Flashpoint: Paradox, and as an ex-navy man I also get to enjoy playing the superhero equivalent of a SEAL done meta-style.

The Story So Far: Joseph Curry was born the son of Arthur Curry Jr. and Stephanie Trevor in the year of the Final Night. His father was killed while assisting Atlantean and Amazonian refugees make their way to an Olympian sanctuary. Grieving, his mother decided to stay in Olympus for a time, but agreed to allow the child to be raised by his father's uncle; an admiral in the United States navy. Thomas Curry and his wife raised the boy to respect and honor service to others and a cause greater than oneself.

Joseph was born with his aquatic abilities at birth and came into his Olympian gifts at an early age. He spent the school year with his 'parents' and summers with his grandfather. In this manner, he became very comfortable with who and what he was, only wanting to better know the mother who had given him birth. In pursuit of this, he made his way to New Themiscyra, only to be rebuffed from setting foot on the island by his own 'aunt' Atalanta.
Having lived in the coast his entire life, it was natural, with his abilities, Joseph would assist when trouble struck the community around him. The navy tagged him with the call-sign Seahawk and he has decided to honor his father's companions by keeping it as his codename when entering the Justice League Academy. A sophomore, Joseph is majoring in Oceanography and Military Strategic Studies.

Characterization: Joseph is driven to make the world a better and safer place. To this end he serves as an ambassador for Atlantis and Themiscyra when called upon. Although loving his parents, the death of his biological father has instilled in him the lesson of ultimate sacrifice for others. Raised in a military family, he feels the need to bring a professional demeanor to the work meta-heroes perform. During his downtime he enjoys exploring the ocean's depths and assisting in the recovery of historical artifacts from maritime craft.

Build Comments: Fortune is a powered up version of a PL 7 character submission for a game Hound was running. He was suppose to enter play after the initial but alas it never happened. That experience made this build possible. I usually play Paragon/Powerhouse types so this is a divergence I hope to have an opportunity at trying my hand at. I wanted to focus on his powers not abilities which causes him to be slightly underpowered defensively. I feel offensively he's a toolkit, but not a BiG GuN, especially since I am avoiding Mind Control. Mind Reading ... This can be problematic for a GM. I'm going the Martian Manhunter approach and adding a moral element as to why he doesn't use it liberally. His time in Japan imbued in him a respect for people's privacy and follows a probable cause approach when using this power. Doing so will result in an opponent receiving a Hero (Villain) Point or other suitable GM device.

Background: Young Justice anime/cartoon inspired Origin
Thomas Goode is the clone of Psimon and another unknown DNA donor. "The Light" wanted to develop a telepath they could control and CADMUS was charged with creating one by all means possible. Dubbilex was initially considered a success by CADMUS, but "The Light" needed a more human appearing agent. When a team of Justice League sidekicks invaded CADMUS's underground base, they engaged CADMUS security forces after freeing another genomorph codenamed Project: Kr. Dubbilex aided the young Justice League sidekicks to escape with the clone Superboy, and during the ensuing battle was able to stage the destruction of Project: Ganesh. The elder g-goblin planted a number of suggestions in the young clone's mind and sent him far away from Metropolis as possible.

Adopting the name Thomas Goode, Fortune traveled the world spending time in Europe, the Africa and the Far East. Never staying in one location more than a few months until fell in love with a Japanese girl, Akame. The granddaughter of a Yakuza gambling house, Thomas helped prevent an opposing family from kidnapping Akame. For a few months, Thomas lived with the Yakuza family and life was good, but his fortunes were soon to change. The Fearsome Five took Akame's grandfather and other Yakuza leaders while working for Brother Blood. Reluctantly Thomas revealed his powers and aided the Teen Titans stop a ritual designed to bring Trigon to Earth using the Yakuza leaders as sacrificial offerings. Afraid CADMUS would learn of his existence, Thomas said goodbye to Akame and fled to the Middle East.

Using the gambling lessons the old man had taught him, Thomas spent the next couple years slowly working the world's richest gambling houses. Spending most of his time in Dubai, Thom careful not to draw attention to himself eventually garnered a fortune worth millions of dollars at the tables of Monte Carlo, Las Vegas, Bludhaven, Kampala, New Carthage, and Jump City. Recently though, Thomas has tired of running and developed a plan to face his past. Over the past few months he had slowly been buying stock in CADMUS's umbrella companies. It is this plan that has brought Thomas Goode to Metropolis.

Abilities 56 + Skills 18 (54 ranks) + Advantages 12 + Powers 78 + Defenses 9 = 173 / 183

Build Comments: Obviously inspired by long Legion romance of Jo Hah and Tinya Wazzo. The build is suppose to hint at the powers of both without directly copying either. Actually Thor's PC ready Vision gave me my start. You will quickly notice I have 5 points hanging out there. Honestly it could have been closer to 30 and it wouldn't have bothered me but in the end decided Lyle needed an attack while he was intangible in what is promised to be a combat heavy game.

Speaking of the first name Lyle. I decided to honor fallen Legionnaires in the build, first the original Invisible Kid: Lyle Norg, who Phantom Girl would have known well from their duty on the Espionage Squad, and Quantum Kid: because Ferro Boy potentially has a legacy in play and anyone who has had three different writers kill them off needs some props. Additionally, I couldn't settle on a codename I really liked so this is close as I can get with a Legion tie-in without flatout thievery :).

Lyle will have the older brother classic personality traits. Over-protectiveness with traces or resentment that the younglings always are getting to do things before he ever could. Also while they love him, the family on his mother's side are disappointed that Lyle did not inherit his mother's abilities, but can only simulate them due to the genetic machinations caused by Jo Nah time within the energy beast that gave Ultra Boy his powers. Quantum cannot see into or enter the Phantom Zone unless added by technological means. He draws and shunts his mass into and from another dimension that has yet to be discovered.

Born on Earth, Lyle graduated the Legion Academy three years ago. As Quantum, he has been under the tutelage of Reep Daggle aka Chameleon Boy. Reep insist that firsthand information acquired by intelligent assets such as the Espionage Squad is as much a reason for the relative peace in modern times than any show of force by the Legion or Science Police. As much as Lyle desires to someday prove himself to his family, his father, by becoming a Team Leader, he realizes that times have changed and maybe Reep can prepare him to lead a different Legion, a Legion the universe needs for today.

Notes:

For centuries Superman was a beloved historical figure whose life changed the future and whose example helped shape the United Planets. When he returned two decades ago, it was like the return of the divine to many during the times of darkness ... and then he was gone. Lyle grew up inspired almost to the point of worship as a young boy by his parents stories of Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes. After the Academy graduation, he and Impulse both got tattoos of the House of El and Flash symbols ... mother was no amused, but considering the things Tinya and Jo had done at his age they couldn't come down to hard on their eldest son ... the new Legions newest inductee.

400 tons .... that's a lot of weight even for 30th century science and the intellect of Brainiac 5 .... yeah, just like Blok, the new kid needed an extra push, all it required was two of the Legion's latest model of Flight rings to keep Quantum on the move.

Build Comments:
Two millennia ago Drake would have been lauded as a god on par with the Odinson. His warrior spirit and strength matched by his girth and blonde hair, only his golden eyes hinting at the power within .... a natural as a scion of Elli ....

With modern times comes a modern understanding of the universe. Drake's cells act as miniature nuclear fusion generators. The process that endued him with his abilities, increased the density of his cellular structure, while also increasing his healing in such a way as to make him practically immortal. The source of his ability to fly is still up for debate, but the closest DARPA could come to an explanation was that the fusion process somehow allows Jones to sub-consciously negate and control gravitonic particles.
