Hot woman wearing black with white hair? I like the design but it's too close to Black Cat for her to stick around I think

With all the time that's gonna take, it sounds more like a "Wiki-BLACK Hole" to me...Jabroniville wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:55 amIt's funny how this works- I was expecting to just re-post Shang-Chi and some of his baddies (Fu Manchu, The Cat) because they were on-theme... but then a Wiki-Wormhole opened up, and I discovered various names on "The List" (Clive Reston, Black Jack Tarr), followed by some classic Jobber Villains. I was gonna just blow off Shang-Chi's assorted one-off bad guys, but a few had interesting looks or real super-villain guises, so we'll have Mordillo and a few others, too. This extends the "Foreigners" bit by a ways.
I'll also add a couple of characters from Al Ewing's big of the Avengers books, followed by Weapon: PRIME re-posts (which I totally coulda done when it was on-theme with X-Force, but then I'd have to do ALL of their Jobber Groups at once, and I didn't feel like it).
Looking forward to your Lori Lemaris build (and templates for generic Atlanteans (one from Poseidonis and one from Tritonis))Jabroniville wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:55 amThen I'll get to Lori Lemaris (that'll tide you over, Dominus ), at which point I'll start the Mega Man X-related builds, which I've been working on for literally two months- doing those is a bit of a slog at times, so I only did a couple of guys per-day, if that.
Never heard of Primal Rage...Jabroniville wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:55 amAround Christmas-time, I'll be re-posting Primal Rage, with some updates for the unreleased sequel, with two new characters and some "Human Avatar" fighters.
Been a long time since I've watched Gargoyles...DEFINITELY looking forward to seeing those.Jabroniville wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:55 amFollowing that, I'll be re-posting Gargoyles builds, since that got a few votes last time.
I can TOTALLY picture Kenny McCormick having the complication Quirk (Prone to Dying Repeatedly)...Jabroniville wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:55 amI'm still bouncing around some ideas for January, but we'll probably see Dinosaur-related stuff FINALLY get re-posted (it's been YEARS! Old-school ATT-era stuff!), and I'll probably finally get to South Park. maybe Black Panther stuff for the upcoming movie, and then we might finally see the Invincible-related builds, as the end of the series should be around then.
I get it, Jab: you don't like doing builds of ultra-obscure characters. Here's the thing of it, though: the Snake Gang I'm referring to comes from the "Who is Oracle" arc of the new Birds of Prey comic series, Batgirl and the Birds of Prey.Jabroniville wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2017 7:38 amObscure DC characters are basically impossible to build unless you've read the book, so I don't do any of those. I even had to leave members of The Jihad (from Suicide Squad) off because DC bios are so sparsely-written online. Never read Earth-X either, so that's out of my wheelhouse. Future Versions, Alternate Versions and background faces aren't concepts that interest me. I usually refer to that kind of thing as "Blind Builds", and don't do those.
I think I used to OWN those Birds of Prey comics, and I don't remember the characters. They were really, REALLY uninteresting. And look at the bio for guys like this: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Asp_(Prime_Earth)DominusExMachina wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2017 9:54 amI get it, Jab: you don't like doing builds of ultra-obscure characters.

That said, conjoined twins like Shock & Awe (from pre-Flashpoint Wildstorm's Midnighter), Double-Header (both Marvel's Earth-X and DC's Legion of Super-Heroes version), and even Syndicate from the Ultimate Marvel universe aren't that common in comics; therefore, I think it's nice to have stats for characters like those.
There was a German character called Zyklon, he was actually Heinrich Himmler resurrected by the demon Satannish alongside Lucrezia Borgia, Joseph Stalin and Lizzy Borden to form his lethal legion.
Point duly made, Jab: I concede. And for what it's worth, the Ultimate Marvel universe of Earth-1610 isn't exactly my cup of tea, either...Jabroniville wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2017 10:25 amI think I used to OWN those Birds of Prey comics, and I don't remember the characters.

Note the complete lack of history, attributes or even Powers. This isn't the kind of character I would ever stat- there's too little about him. Almost every new comic book character suffers from this (even Marvel guys I just posted like Guillotine, Sati and Gun-R). And I've never enjoyed Marvel's Ultimate universe, so won't plan on doing any builds from that, either.
Obscure Marvel characters are fairly easy to build- even minor guys have write-ups on Marvunapp that contain bits of history, and even a writer's opinion of the character. But with DC... there are some IMPORTANT characters who have extremely tiny character histories. Their "Jobber Villains" and one-offs? They're just impossible. A perfect example is the Fatal Five... actually IMPORTANT characters to the Legion of Super-Heroes, and despite a lot of people asking about them, I could never even hope to build them- there's just not enough available online, and I don't read comics featuring them. Guys like THIS are impossible for me to stat properly (I literally just said "Read the DCA builds and use those"), never mind the REALLY obscure ones.
Heck, I haven't even statted many DC villains except for their DC Animated Universe versions, because I've at least seen those.
