Watchmen



Spiderman



Batman



Ironman



the comic book trailers have not been the strongest of the 50's movie AI has done but the color scheme and tone worked well on Batman and a couple of others.

One of the Best was Dune 1950's

Tekkaman Physiology: D-Boy was one of a spaceship full of humans captured by an alien race called the Radam, and transformed into an alien super soldier called a Tekkaman. His very body provides the following powers

Alter Ego: By holding his Tek Crystal aloft in the air and screaming Tek Setter. D-Boy will transform into Tekkaman Blade with all his stats changing to the set on the right. In addition he gains the following powers.
-Body Armor: Unearthly protection vs Physical and Energy damage. To the point he was able to survive a point blank detonation of a tactical nuclear warhead with no visible damage.
-Flight up to Unearthly Airspeed. He has devloped the following power-stunt
--"Crash Intrude" While in Flight he can fold up his body and cocoon himself in a bird-shaped energy field causing his Charging attacks to do energy damage, and to potentially hit all targets within the same area as him.
-Grappling Cable: Located inside his left arm. This monstrous-strength line of wire can reach out to grapple or grab at a range of 3 areas.
-Voltekka: The signature attack of most Tekkamen. A powerful energy blast of a presumed anti-matter nature. Blade has them hidden inside his shoulders which open up to reveal the cannons. They inflict Unearthly energy Damage at a Range of 10 areas with the damage dropping -1CS for every area beyond that.
-Self Sustenance: Does not need to breathe, and can survive in the vacuum of space.:

Limitations

-Time Limit: If D-Boy remains in Tekkaman form longer than 30 minutes he must make a successful Psyche FEAT every round to avoid falling into a Berserker state where he turns against Humanity and attacks indescriminately. A sucessful Red Psyhe FEAT must be made to come out of it.

-Radam Vulnerability Against Radam beast or Tekkaman weapons D-Boy's Body Armor is considered only 1/2 it's ability number rounded down..

It's been a while since I read the books, but as I recall, there seemed to be a hint that Earth Lord's wife was either having an affair with his partner, or at least his partner wanted that. And, as time went on, it seemed as though Earth Lord and Wind Warrior were becoming...chummy. I wonder if I'm misremembering that or reading too much into it, or was it something DeFalco had planned to explore?

The character Skyhawk was written to not be liked very much, but I kinda felt sorry a little bit for him - of the three, he was a little underpowered. Earth Lord was almost a literal mountain. Stronger even than most of Marvel's Heavy-Hitters, like Thing, Wonder Man, Colossus, Doc Samson, etc. Yet, anything Skyhawk could do, Wind Warrior could also do. He didn't really bring anything special to the group.

A while back, I created a setting involving Earth Force. I had them relocate to Washington state (interestingly enough, it's mentioned in the 50 State Initiative that Skyhawk DID move to Washington state). It occurred to me that 2 of the 3 character's powers were based on the classic elements, so, I decided to redo Skyhawk and gave him the ability to shoot fireballs (changing his name to Firehawk) and giving him a full set of wings, rather than the feathers running along his arms - not sure how he could effectively fight like that. Then, just for funsies, and to complete the elements, the Atlantean, Andromeda, joined Earth Force.

Anyway, just a peak into one corner of my Marvel Setting (Earth 9653).]]> RangerMatthias Your Favorites & Game Revisions Mon, 18 Mar 2024 22:19:07 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86031,86031#msg-86031 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86031,86031#msg-86031
It seems that in all the profiles I have found on Iron Man armors I noticed that after a certain point (Post Mk. 51) Iron Man's armors stop having the ability to absorb energy?

Is there an in-universe reason in the comics ever stated for him to stop using that power? Did they ever even acknowledge it?]]> Howlet General Discussion Tue, 26 Mar 2024 17:25:44 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86030,86030#msg-86030 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86030,86030#msg-86030
Example:

Hero has an Endurance of Excellent (20), and Body Armor of Remarkable (30), gets hit by Villain who has Incredible (40) Strength. The roll result is Red (Stun). Hero loses 10 Health and 30 points of damage is absorbed by Hero's Remarkable Body Armor.

Can Hero resist the Stun or not?

I decided to switch from D&D to FASERIP MSH's. I had the maps and the adventure and passed out the 4 color charts and we were off.

From saving mind controlled victims jumping off the dock to taking on Blacklash, Hobgoblin and the Beetle in the streets to even discovering the villain known as the Purple Man was behind it --- The kids loved it. They picked up the basics and did well interacting with the NPC's.

I even saw some concern from a few kids not to spend too much Karma!- save some for the next fight.

You know , I really miss playing this game. We here at this site/community should really try and play more than we do ( if some are like me and don't play as often as we would like )

PS: I printed up a good amount of popular characters and let my 4 teens pick who they wanted.

Here was their team: Doctor Strange , She-Hulk, Spiderman and X-23 ( my resident Goth-girl loved her costume and claws )]]> G.A.W.

I have always liked the resources on this site. Thank you to those who have made it possible.

I thought at one time there were much more than the 20ish number of DC Heroes given the full FASERIP character profile treatment I can click on from Profiles | Comic Book | D.C. Can someone point me to a resource here (or somewhere else) that has a robust treatment of DC hereos and villains in FASERIP?

I'd be much obliged. I played a lot of MSHRPG in the 80s. Recently I watched every Super Friends episode with my daughter chronologically. I'd like to introduce her to superhero RPG. I checked out the old DC Heroes RPG and it didn't seem as approachable. So, that's why I'd love to leverage a DC Heroes/Villains resource in FASERIP.

Thanks for any assistance!]]> Terrex General Discussion Thu, 01 Feb 2024 18:28:23 -0700 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?7,85976,85976#msg-85976 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?7,85976,85976#msg-85976

It may rival the Sci-Fi rpg genre......

FASERIP is my preferred game but many of these may have cool rule mechanics or nuanced settings that make it shine!!

Looking back, I am surprised it only had 16 episodes. Because I am bored, here is my rank of the Hall of Justice members for least valuable member to MVP , using the show as a guideline. I will do the hall of Doom later.


Tier four.

11. Robin. Although he is voce by the legendary Casey Kasem, he is a useless hero, and has zero moments.

10. Aquaman. He was nearly useless in the show, though rather powerful today in the comics, so I'm told.


Tier three

9. Hawkman. A minor charter who was under used, he can fly but that is it.

8. Batman. In the show he is a fair combatant who has none of his genius or his better weapons.
Handicapped by having Robin by his side.

7. Apache Chief. He can grow up to 50 feet tall, and has his moments. A tad under used.

6 . Samurai. He can turn invisible and control the winds.

5. Black Vulcan. He has great power, but is probably used by the least of the heros.



Tier two.

4. Flash. His superspeed powers are unique.

3. Wonder woman. She keeps targeting the villain lady Cheetah in the show but Stands tall nonetheless.


Tier One


Green Lantern

His ring grants him the power of his mind. But it only has a 24 hour charge.


Super Man He stands alone as the Justice League's MVP and has but one weakness.
