Nothing legally actionable . An immature lout , crass and the creep factor was high.

Ironically , if he ( or some other comic artist ) was guilty of Manslaughter, and got out in 7 years he would have been accepted back into comic society.- depending who he/she had killed in self defense.. with open arms..
There have been other Artists and writers Cancelled , mostly due to who they vote for politically, or if they are old seasoned vets of the industry.or if they are " mean "
Professional comics creators should not lose their jobs for wearing the wrong political hat, religion , and be replaced by less younger, Untalented , overtly pushing " the message " and crap on the fans of said industry.

It really does come down to that old adage .... Judge the art not the artist.And if people can't then ignore the jerk and then don't buy his/ or her stuff. For me : If Stalin and Hitler worked on a comic series from 1938 till 1945 about Slavic and Northmen Vikings journing thru a medieval wasteland lasting 45 issues until the council of GODZ comes down from the machine to destroy them- I'd pick up a few copies and check it out.

Ed Piskor was not Frank Miller or Jim LEE.- just a comics lover, Comics historian, artist, writer who had to work hard to ACTUALLY make a living in the here and now-- the near bottom of the barrel of industry right now - but he did it.

And now he;s dead. Cancelled


Guys better then Piskor like Robert Crumb are many of these vapid labels and he still is alive and well.
Until he wasn't aloud to do it any longer. So now he's gone - and the cancel pigs who helped corner him using social media and internet " helped " make it happen]]> G.A.W.

While certain works of literature would have us believe that there are seven sins, there is actually only one sin.

Selfishness. Every other sin is actually just a form of selfishness.

It is because of one or more of the many forms of selfishness that have become more endemic in recent years that toxicity is allowed to thrive.]]> nijineko General Discussion Sat, 27 Apr 2024 16:03:42 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86087,86091#msg-86091 Re: !950's versions of films- movie trailers https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86087,86091#msg-86091 nijineko General Discussion Sat, 27 Apr 2024 15:59:00 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,24004,86090#msg-86090 Re: Is there anyone alive here ... here .. here ( echo ) https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,24004,86090#msg-86090

Now, anything that says it is a different edition, etc. is not from those scans. It's a good thing there are unaltered, full resolution scans in a few people's hands, as this site has optimized, lower resolution ones.

I haven't been on this forum in months, if not longer, and the first thing I run into is a Nightmask post.

Some things never change.

It's not new - I took the text from Marvel Supers revised (1991) and added art/different layout



There are things that I might (and might still) have done different but it came out ok, all things considered



Art from all eras, just to celebrate this classic game and as an educational/nostalgia project. Pretty sure most people on here own a copy of the original.



It's the combined rules+campaign book all in one.

Personally Modelled( or Canon/ established ) ) characters shouldn't have to roll for things we know they can do. - your call as Judge though.
-- We would not think twice for Peter Parker to make a new set of web shooters ( resource roll only ) if the old ones were broken.

Rolled up/ generated " new PC characters - that's a different story. A Reason Feat plus maybe a resource roll etc]]> G.A.W.

Marvel TSR game stats will sometimes be Inconsistent. With Ironman as a Technology -based character we ( my gaming group ) included many of his devices and abilities/powers into more modern Armors. Especially if it made sense like Image Generator oras you mentioned----

A better question might be: At what point is a Stun/Slam/Kill Result "irresistible"?

I have always played a general rule that if the incoming damage is +2CS or greater than the target's Endurance, then the target is incapable of resisting the Slam/Stun/Kill check.

But if the target has a type of DR (Armor Skin), which lowers the intensity of the incoming damage, to within a single column of the target's Endurance, then the target of the attack can still make the Endurance Check to avoid the result.

Do you play that way as well?]]> Brymin General Discussion Tue, 19 Mar 2024 22:40:27 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86030,86035#msg-86035 Re: Endurance Checks https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86030,86035#msg-86035 Descartes Demon General Discussion Tue, 19 Mar 2024 16:56:46 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85803,86033#msg-86033 Re: Mobius Strip? https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,85803,86033#msg-86033 Howlet General Discussion Mon, 18 Mar 2024 19:22:07 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,41069,86032#msg-86032 Re: Is the SSS inheritable? https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,41069,86032#msg-86032 Howlet General Discussion Mon, 18 Mar 2024 19:18:56 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86031,86031#msg-86031 When/Why did Iron Man stop... 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 Mon, 18 Mar 2024 19:14:25 -0600 https://classicmarvelforever.com/phorum/read.php?3,86030,86030#msg-86030 Endurance Checks 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?
