Complications:

Power Loss: No powers as Billy Batson. Captain Marvel can lose his powers if tricked into saying his magic word.
Secret Identity: Billy Batson. In his normal identity, Billy has Str 0, Sta 1, Ftg 2, and Awe 3 with corresponding adjustments to his skill ranks and defenses.
Young: Captain Marvel is really just a kid at heart, and sometimes makes foolish or impulsive choices.

Another PL 15 definer is Captain Marvel. His durability, speed and strength is just a notch below Superman, though his lightning equals his heat vision. He doesn't hit his PL caps on dodge-parry and toughness but I might upgrade him and Superman later. I like him with and without hood. Alex Ross' drawing made him look more dangerous and cool while the hood compliments his youth.

Superman PL 16 (367)

I gave him 20 Str, so he ... is little bit stronger than Black Adam and Captain Marvel.

Them's fightin' words in these parts, pardner.

Okay, maybe "fightin' words" was too strong a phrase.

[Ares]

Hey, everyone's allowed their opinion. It's what keeps these builds interesting instead of them just being copy/pastes of each other.

[Ken]

True.

[Ares]

True.

To be fair, that's Captain Thunder right there, not Captain Marvel, but for most of their history the pair have been considered equals, especially Pre-Crisis. But I don't want this to get into a debate on character Power Levels. This is Harnos' thread and his interpretation of these characters.

Got it and appreciate it.

My most concerning reason for this statting is my own wish. I want to see Superman above the other leaguers. The only time I read them fighting was in Kingdom Come and I don't remember Superman having upper hand in that fight, though my memory is blurry about this.

[Harnos]

Also I pretty much like Centurion, so I wanted my Superman to be based on his character sheet.

Abilities 58 + Defenses 8 + Powers 177 + Advantages 6 + Skills 24 = 273 pp

Complications:
Enemies: The Flash has an extensive Rogues Gallery of foes out to get him.
Relationships: His wife, Iris, grandson Bart “Kid Flash” Allen, Wally West, and the greater “Flash family.”
Secret Identity: Barry Allen, Central City police scientist.
Weakness: Extra effort involving Speed Force threatens to draw the Flash into the Speed Force.

Flash is another important cornerstone for builds because he is the speedster that created and defined the speedsters. He should be a good example of what a fast and agile character could accomplish. Official build for him is quite terrible because he lacks multiattack and area extras on melee and Batman could easily hit him. Logic-wise no "normal" human should be able to hit a guy who watches bullets in slow motion, however since this is comics they can, but this should not be an easy feat. So I left his PL as official build suggested but gave him Immunity and multiattack, so he is more effective than his PL 12 would suggest. His immunity is unreliable, works %50 of the time so elite martial artists and other talented fighters have a chance too hit him. However, hitting him is hard even with a +20 attack bonus because he is the guy who can reach or surpass light speed. I think this reflects his portrayal in DC animations and the limited number of DC comics I read.

He doesn't fully reach his offensive cap because he is more used to dodge and run that hit people. I thought about making him PL 13-14 defensively but I didn't want to create a visible gap between his abilites. Also Power Profiles book gave us immunity to dodge and parry based attacks and if Flash himself don't have it, no one is qualified to have.

I've drunk a little bit while writing this so I hope there aren't a lot of mistakes.

To be fair, that's Captain Thunder right there, not Captain Marvel...

Far be it from me to doubt the Marvel family's biggest fan but... are you sure? We can't see all of it, but that looks suspiciously like a Marvel Family lightning bolt on his chest, not Captain Thunder's... ball-thingy. (What is that supposed to be? A mace?)

I'm pretty sure. It looks like an edit someone made to the original image:



As for the symbol, I'm guessing it's either some kind of stylized thunder cloud or a 'thunder burst'.

Abilities 104 + Defenses 13 + Powers 110 + Advantages 12 + Skills 23 = 264 pp

Complications:
Relationships: Aquaman has a wife, Mera, ties with his former ward, Tempest, and his friends in Atlantis.
Responsibility: As King of Atlantis, Aquaman must attend to the needs of his people and his duty to the Seven Seas, which can occasionally come into conflict with his responsibilities to the JLA.
Temper: Aquaman is known for his fierce temper.
Weakness: Aquaman dehydrates when away from water for an extended period of time, becoming impaired, disabled and finally incapacitated before his condition becomes life threatening. Immersion in water immediately removes all accumulated conditions.

Aquaman was a little bit confusing for me, because interpretation of his power level and variety of powers vary wildly. I choose his warrior with a trident version as I'm most familiar with this. His strength level was hard to determine, official build gave him a mere 25 tons lifting capacity while he traded blows with Supes and lifted sub-marines and ships in some stories. So I gave him just enough to lift this vehicles. He is PL 13 only with his trident and PL 12 otherwise. Since I uplifted Superman and some others, I gave him a PL upgrade too. I considered giving him Minion advantage bu it would require statting them and I'm not sure how many minions I can give with that advantage, so I decided not to do that.

[Ken]

I would argue that some of Aquaman's Toughness should come from the bronze scale mail he's been wearing since 1941.

I thought about this but I wasn't sure if it is just a traditional and ceremonial dress or a really effective armor. Is it made of something special like orichalcum, durasteel or something like that? If you are sure I can edit the build.

Complications:
Obsession: With discovering the Anti-Life Equation and extinguishing free will throughout the cosmos.
Arrogance:Darkseid is supremely arrogant and confident in his position as a god.

My Darkseid is based on more of Omega from Freedom City than the official build in DCA. He is PL 18 with his Omega Beams and PL 17 without them. He can overpower Superman and fight Justice League alone. In official build his strength was lower than Superman's for a reason I don't understand. I think he should be a little higher than him. His toughness should also allow him to endure hits from several PL14-15 leaugers. I also added a slow flight: I saw it in Justice League: War, which was a nice movie. He would also withstand nuclear weapons with 22 toughness and Ultimate Effort, as a world conqueror supposed to do. I slightly lowered his melee attack, I don't think it should equal the accuracy of Omega Beams. I significantly lowered the ranks of Homing so agile characters like Flash have a decent chance to dodge the Omega attack.
