Vehicles and Transport
Air Cars
The Air Cars were created to provide short-range transportation for the Avengers so that they didn't have to use the Quinjets over urban areas. Especially after there was some conflict with the City of New York over the use of that vehicle. They were Designed by Dane Whitman (Black Knight) together with the Wakandan Design Group.
Air Car Mark I
This is an open top design with a snub-nosed body. It has five jet engines, one primary mounted in the rear and four on external side mountings. It is 18 feet long and 12.5 feet wide with the side-mounted engines. There is room for four adult-sized humans.
| Control | Speed | Body | Protection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remarkable | Amazing | Excellent | Good |
On-Board Systems Include:
- Communications: Amazing Ability and Range
- Sensors: Amazing Rank, 1 Mile range
- Security: An active Communicard is required to operate this vehicle, acting as an ignition key.
Air Car Mark II
This is an improved design by Dane Whitman. It is more aerodynamically streamlined. It has three jet engines, which are all rear mounted for improved thrust and maneuverability. It is 14.9 feet long, 8 feet wide and has the capability to carry six adult-sized human passengers. It is also an open-top design.
| Control | Speed | Body | Protection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incredible | Monstrous | Excellent | Good |
On-Board Systems Include:
- Unearthly Airspeed (40 Areas/Round - 600 MPH) for up to 10 Minutes, but the pilot must make a Control FEAT every Round and every occupant must make an Endurance FEAT every Round or be overcome by the wind buffet from the speed. Check this as if for a Stun
- Communications: Amazing Ability and Range
- Sensors: Amazing Rank, 1 Mile range
- Security: An active Communicard is required to operate this vehicle, acting as an ignition key.
Blackbird
The Blackbird is the X-mens Lockheed RS-150 reconnaisance plane. Thiscraft has been heavily modified with Sh'iar technology.
| Control | Speed | Body | Protection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remarkable | Shift-Y | Remarkable | Remarkable |
On-Board Systems Include:
- Concussion Missiles: The Black is armed with two banks of five missiles each. Standard armament consists of concussion missiles that have a range of five miles and inflict Incredible blunt damage to a single target.
- Frequency Monitor: The ship’s communications array continually monitors worldwide radio bands, and can pick up distress calls from anywhere on the planet.
- Medical Facilities: The ship is equipped with a computerized medical array. The device has the equivalent of Incredible Healing power.
- Security Interlock: Before activating the Blackbird’s controls, the pilot must first insert his hand into a security box. Only those whose hand has been stored in the ship’s computer can gain access to the controls. Overriding the security device requires a successful Incredible intensity Reason FEAT.
- Stealth: The ship has Amazing concealment from detection by mechanical devices such as sonar or radar thancks to a Sh'iar cloaking device. It is not invisible to normal sight or super-human powers, however.
- VTOL: The Blackbird can land and takeoff vertically.
Basic Quinjet
The Quinjet is the primary transportation of the Avengers. It can be modified for space travel or use underwater. It was constructed by Stark International and the Wakanda Design Group. All of the variations have the capability to hover without an Agility FEAT, and have a capacity of 2 Crew and seating for up to 5 passengers.

Walker-Flyer
This vehicle consists of two linked battle machines, each with a two-man crew. The Walker Vehicle is a two-legged construct which carries the jet-powered flyer until the two are separated for scouting or battle.

The Walker-Vehicle, though heavily armored, proved ungainly in combat with Doc Samson; the Flyer Vehicle, more lightly armored, proved to be vulnerable to the disruptor weapon of the Walker in the same fight. The resulting crash of the Flyer caused Carolyn Parmenter's death.
