And I realized that there was a small problem, my players (without some sort of actual investment in the characters...) had no real interest in playing the Justice League (or for that matter the Avengers either, which I had tried previously...) so once upon a time I did a 'Heroes' based game where I created templates with powers and gave them out at random the players. They loved it, I decided to do the same thing, only this time the templates were marvelized versions of the J.L.A. set on the west coast.

Here are a few of the templates and I will post others later...

Just bear in mind that while these are analogue to the JLA, their not straight adapations...

Powers:
Kree Physiology: You are genetically engineered to be the perfect Kree, your body and mind work in harmony with one another and you have nearly no body fat all. You have the build of a Greek god and the looks to match.

Nega-energy absorption and distribution: Your body absorbs energy from the Negative Zone, just like the Kree Nega-bands do. This energy fuels your various powers and abilities. You're not harmful or radioactive in anyway, just warm to the touch. This ability functions at Shift-Z rank and you can use this energy to recover lost endurance ranks if injured. You can subconsciously direct your body's energies to enhance his body's abilities as follows.

-Superhuman Senses: Your senses of sight and hearing are enhanced to shift Z rank allowing your to see or hear things at a distance of 12.5 miles when you focus, this ability allows you to peel back layers and focus your senses to listen or look for one person in a sea of sights and voices.

-Microscopic Vision: This power functions at Shift Z rank allowing you to see electrons.

-Pentra-vision: You can see through solid objects as though they were clear at Shift Z Rank, oddly, you can't see through lead.

-Plasmic Vision: You can vent the energy stores of your body through your eyes; as a result your plasma vision gives off light and heat while inflicting Shift-X damage

-Power Boost: You can direct your body's energies into your strength or flight raising them +2 ranks. He can also raise his body armor to Unearthly, but suffers a -1 rank in body armor following 5 rounds of this enhancement due to the temporary depletion of his body's stores of energy.

Flight: You have the ability to fly at Shift-x speed and are capable of space travel due to your environmental independence.

Body Armor: your skin provides you with Monstrous protection vs. physical and Amazing vs. energy

Invulnerabilities: You are considered to have Class 1000 resistances to Heat, cold, Disease and Toxins.


Talents:
Journalism: You have always been a seeker of the truth, believing that it was out there somewhere just waiting to be dug up. You believe that the press is there to help people, not to spread rumors, hurt the innocent or bolster the careers of crooked politicians. You have Excellent reason when playing investigative reporter, finding clues and tracking down leads.

Artist: Writing, comic art and sculpting: You have Good ability to produce art, you could probably go professional with it, but that would take time away from your real passion as a reporter.

Languages: Due to your near photographic memory you have been able to learn a score of languages and speak them fluently and as if you were a native of their country of origin.


Contacts:
You are a reporter for a major newspaper and have contacts in all walks of life. You do your job well and your friends with your fellow reporters, a photographer with the paper idolizes you like an older brother and your editor thinks that you walk on water. Your friends with the local college professors where you took your classes. Your editor with Random House has published two of your books, about your character Christopher Swann: Spy extraordinaire, with moderate success and is after you to write a third that your working on.


Limitations:
Hidden behind a pair of glasses...: It’s an idea that your mother came up with from a movie she saw. You disguise yourself with a pair of glasses, slicked back hair and a wimpy personality. People don't put two and two together and you have a life outside of your costume and away from the world

A little piece of home...: There is something about certain wavelengths of gamma radiation that rob you of your abilities and leave you weak as a kitten. Direct exposure or attacks from that wavelength cause you Remarkable-30 damage every round and inflict the other mentioned effects.

It’s a kind of magic: You have no real resistance to magic, as a result not only does it affect you it does so at 1 rank higher and 1 round longer than anyone else. Such attacks ignore your defensive capabilities to resist them (Thus body armor and invulnerabilities are ignored)


History:
Twenty-six years ago A super-Kree experiment to rival Super-Skrulls that have become the pinnacle of Skrull evolution was started. The Experiment was a success other than the odd pigmentation (the Kree was Caucasian...), the experiment was being transported back to the Kree Home planet Hala when the convey came under attack and the experiment was whisked off of the ship with a caretaker intent on escaping, they manage to get away but not before the escape ship is badly damaged and ends up coming out of hyperspace early when it enters our system. The ship gets as close as the moon before its systems fail and the caretaker is forced to set down on the Blue area of the moon, a former Kree city located there provided basic shelter. The caretaker found that the ship was beyond repair. She was able to scrounge around and found a teleporter keyed to a hidden Kree area on Earth. She powered the teleporter up but was horrified to discover that it only had enough energy to transport the baby she considered trying to wait for a rescue party or for a buildup of energy but quickly realized the only thing that was going to show up were the Skrulls who had followed her to the moon. She teleported the baby to earth and destroyed the machine so that the Skrull couldn't track him before being killed by their pursuers. The baby was rescued by a couple of campers who happened upon him in the odd cave structure, they were able to pull the baby out just before the collapse of the cave. Moving from the west coast to Middle America the couple simply presented the newborn as their own and applied for birth certificate saying that he was born on the trip from the coast. The baby, never suspecting he was anything other than a normal boy grew up and over time discovered his powers before eventually taking on a costumed persona once he hit adulthood...So far he has no idea of his otherworldly origins, he just had no idea where his powers came from. One day maybe he'll discover the truth.

Your mother-Diane, Kelly in the PR office, Tommy p. Jones: Computer Hacker, Colonel Trevor Stephenson of the U.S. Navy and the Greek pantheon of Gods.

Limitations:
Twilight, what?: You haven't been around for the last ten years, this has led to some awkward situations, such as you never graduated from high school or went to college. And let's just talk about the fact that you have no idea what anything from the last ten years is, pop culture references are lost on you and if it deals with a touch screen phone you're screwed.

A Ghost in the Machine: Your life and records end ten years ago when you left to go to Olympus with your dad. As a result you have no work history, no school records and no tax records. As a result you can't get a job, credit card or apartment. Presently you're living in your mom's basement.


History:
You were born to a single unwed mother, the way she tells the story her and your father met at Duran Duran concert and one thing led to another. You were a tomboy and a natural athlete but were bookish and smart from spending most of your days with your nose in a book as your mother drug you from town to town searching for that greener pasture and living in whatever hippy commune she could find. You were far from shy and often vocal about your feelings, desires and wants. When you turned sixteen you began taking martial arts and your mom decided that the road was no place to raise a child and finally settled down in a small coastal town in Massachusetts. Life was pretty good for all of fifteen minutes before you unexpectedly hurt someone in class. It was like a shockwave passed through your body and within a couple of days your father came to visit you for the first time. He told you that you were his daughter and that he was Zeus, father of the Greek Gods. You told him you had seen both movies and read Percy Jackson and weren’t impressed with the story. Then he showed you a fraction of his power and there was something in the way he spoke and what you saw that made you believe him. Zeus informed you that you had a mere fraction of his power and that as that was the case you would have to undertake 12 labors to prove your worth as a demi-god and access your full powers or ignore his challenge and remain mortal forever. Wanting to find your place in the world and refusing to back down from the challenge you accepted his offer and were whisked away to Olympus for training, you were there for ten years before returning to begin your trials.

Philosophy: the Skrulls are not known as philosophers or poets, there is something different about you though...while not a combat related skill in any way, should you feel inspired to compose poetry or philosophize in some way it is worth 10 points of Karma for each week spent working on the piece (up to 4 works...)

You have a staff of other thirty people that work for you at the San Diego library, you are considered an expert on various information related gathering capabilities and are frequently consulted by city, state and federal authorities whom you are on a familiar basis with.

Limitations:
You ain't from around here...: Not only are you using your powers in an effort to help people, you are also a skrull living amongst humans trying to pass yourself off as a human. This is not the life you would like to have, but the one that unfortunately the one you are now forced to live. You go to great lengths to cover the fact that you're a skrull and have created several false identities to fall back on should your true nature be revealed.

What's it good for...: You are not a war-mongering skrull pure and simple. The entire planet of 30 billion backstabs one another to get a head, you were the odd one out and had no real interest. You quickly realized that should your true nature be revealed, you would be put to death.

Phobia: Due to your polymorphic nature fire and heat attacks do more damage to you than other forms of damage, as a result you don't have body armor versus either attack and you must make a psyche feat roll to continue whatever activity you were engaged in.

History:
Born on the planet Skrullos in the heart of the Skrull Empire and destined to be one of the few chosen super-skrulls you were one of the prince regents of the Skrull Empire. It was decided after the success of Kl'rt (the original super-skrull) that you would be the next and that the powers of the X-Men would be yours to command. You were infused with a menagerie of powers from the X-Men and the plan was set that the Skrulls would invade Earth once more. There was one small problem, you were born...different...from other skrulls. You didn't much care for war or hostility and before you fled Skrullos you sabotaged the war, by tampering with the newest batch of super-skrulls. You took a ship and let out across the universe in an attempt to escape the empire, this failed as they came after you. You lost the ship and fell in with the Shi'ar empire joining the Imperial Guardsman taking the form of one of the their members before sneaking off in a series of ships before arriving at Earth in attempt to warn the Fantastic Four about the impending war, they didn't believe you and you fled the Baxter Building and have been living in hiding for a few years now preying to whatever gods the Skrulls prey to that the rest of the Skrull race doesn't come back anytime soon and wondering when the war was going to start...

Powers:
Atlantean Biological Adaptation: The Atlantean are an offshoot of humanity that is biologically adapted to the deep ocean environment. For most Atlanteans, this means that they can breathe underwater, endure the pressures of the deep (among other adaptations), and can only spend a very limited time out of water.

Body Resistance: your enhanced physiology enables you to withstand impacts that would kill an ordinary human, and critically injure an average Atlantean. You have been seen in ocean depths as deep as 20,000 feet (3.79 miles) below the surface of the water. That amount of pressure is 800 atmospheres, which is enough to turn an ordinary human into a smear of blood and bone dust. You have been able to travel as deep as 36,000 feet (6.82 miles) and your eyes have been adapted to see at that depth. You're not completely durable against large fire arms, but you are able to take a direct hit by small arms fire without incapacitation.

A child of neither world: Being that you’re the offspring of a hybrid mutant you don’t fit into either world perfectly. Atlanteans want nothing really do with you and humans think your some water-breathing weirdo (Not all of them, but enough for it to sting…) you don’t really feel comfortable or at ease in both worlds and are constantly trying to seek out your own place in the world. As a result of all this you gain popularity slower than most (as a mutant…) and when attempting to make popularity feats to influence people you suffer a -1 color penalty (meaning red feats are impossible…)

History:
Twenty-seven years ago your mother lived in New York and met a man with whom she had a brief relationship with before meeting your father and getting married. You're actually the oldest of two sons, your younger brother Orm(and) and you never really got along despite your mom and dad's best efforts. You're dad was a captain in the Navy and you spent your life growing up in coastal towns up and down the east coast before the family settled at Montauk Bay in upstate New York at the Montauk Naval base, Camp Hero. Your father worked with highly restricted materials and at the age of thirteen you began to undergo certain physiological changes including the ability to breath underwater when you almost drown while surfing. It was initially thought that it was something that your father had came into contact with in his time as a naval officer that somehow got passed on to you. Things came to a head when your mom and dad finally deduced that whatever it was wasn't induced but rather something that you carried with you since your birth. When your parents got married, your mother was already pregnant, your father knew but it didn't change his feelings for her or you. Who or what your father was remained a mystery until The Sub-mariner's first public battle with the Fantastic Four, it was then that she knew who your father really was. It was decided that the truth about your parentage shouldn't be addressed in public and you and your father worked in secret for you to master your powers and abilities. You can't fly like Namor, but you have several powers that are different from his. You have been working with the navy, under your father the base C.O. as a result of the Montauk Project to help deal with water based menaces as a result of your having battled the Montauk Monster.

Powers:
Hyper-speed: Shift Y rank ability to move at accelerated speeds, you can perform tasks at 300 times faster than normal. You can accelerate to full speed within a round and stop within the space of an area. As a result of your heightened metabolism and speed, you heal faster than normal as if you have the Regeneration power at Typ-6 (this doesn't allow you to re-grow limbs or organs, but does allow you to recover health at an accelerated rank.) You also recover from illness and toxic attacks faster than a normal human would (Amazing Resistance to Disease and Toxins). Your bursts of speed cause disruptions in the local flow of air.

-Water-walking: Shift-X Speeds, as long as you maintain your speed and concentration there doesn't appear to be a limit to how long you can do this.
-You move as though you have Unearthly Agility when it comes to turning or performing agility feat rolls.
-You move fast enough to attack entire areas of people, pummeling them with blows for Excellent-20 damage.

Student: You're a student and in medical school, as a result you are able to buy talents at a reduced cost of 800 Karma.

Crime: at one point you weren’t a medical student and in fact were a petty criminal, you got out of the life but have some debts that have yet to be paid. You know how to break into a car and hotwire it in under sixty seconds if you have too.

Contacts:
You’re in medical school with access to teachers, the college and advisors. You also have friends in low places and in all walks of life.


Limitations:
Hyper metabolism: If there is a downside to your power, then this is it. A normal human has to consume 2500 calories a day, not that you've measured it but yours is closer to 25000 on a slow day. Your body operates much more efficiently than normal as a result you can't get drunk, rarely get sick and your heart races faster than a hummingbird causing anyone you meet in the medical industry on a professional basis to assume you're having a heart attack.

ADHD (Mild): As a result of the ability to race around at superhuman speeds your mind races as well. You have trouble, at times, focusing. It doesn't happen all of the time, just when you get bored and as a result you have to make a psyche feat roll to stay focused on the matter at hand.

Skurge Soda: You were part of a national trial for this Norwegian soda, after drinking it several of your fellow taste testers got sick. It was discovered that a bad batch of the soda had slipped through customs, everyone was compensated for their troubles and you discovered shortly thereafter that you had developed superpowers as a result of having ingested whatever was in the soda. The problem has become that you must periodically ingest more of the soda to maintain your powers. One soda per game and since the soda isn't sold in the states you have to buy it online and have it imported. Presently you have 3 cans.

History:
You were born twenty-five years ago and were raised in the inner city by your single father after your mother walked out on the family when you were ten years old. You hung out with the wrong crowd and got into your share of trouble in your teenage years, your father used some connections that he had with the police department to keep you from doing jail time over the stupid things you got involved in. You walked away from the bad influences and lost some friends in the process, this left some debts unpaid to old friends who may someday come looking to collect on them but for now you're content to live in the moment. You wanted to be a cop like your dad; instead he made sure that you got into med school instead. You had always gotten good grades despite the brief spats of trouble, but there was simply never enough money to make ends meet. As a med student you supplemented your income by taking part in food trials and were part of test trials for a Scandinavian soda about to hit the U.S. market, you got a bad batch (along with a dozen others) and nearly died from the exposure of whatever was in the soda. The drink was never released in the U.S. but when you got out of I.C.U. You discovered that you now had super-speed but must on occasion (at least once a game...) ingest more of the soda, which you have to order online and have shipped from overseas. What was wrong with the original batch of soda isn't known and as far as you know, you're the only person who developed powers from the batch...

Powers:
The Star brand: The Star brand is the most powerful weapon ever created, it is a zero point cosmic energy collector passed from user to user created by an ancient race of aliens called the Beyonders (a luminescent race of energy beings) The Star brand is utilized via the willpower of the user through the application of a psyche feat to perform complex feats (Creating GIANT boxing gloves and such) or to expend greater then psyche rank energy. A Star brand has the ability to affect and use fundamental forces of the known universe including electromagnetic energies such as gravity, radiation, heat, light, and powerful blasts of concussive force. The Star brand wasn't designed for use with the human race; each user is sought out and specially trained to unlock their fullest potential of consciousness to fully master the Star brand. Human's by their nature are possessive and tend to think of their limitations rather than their strengths. For instance if someone convinced you, that you would never amount to anything and eroded your self-confidence enough to believe that then your ability to use the Star brand would be limited...

-Energy Solidification: The Star brand has extensive energy manipulation powers able to affect the entire spectrum including gravity, radiation, heat, light at Unearthly ability. You can create and maintain 4 effect's per round. By making a successful Psyche FEAT roll you can create and maintain a fifth effect. On the creation of solid objects the GM decides which creations are within the power of the Star brand and assigns a power intensity FEAT: Simple weapons, entrapments devices, common geometric shapes, gigantic hands and simple containers are all powers stunts and are usually Psyche+2 ranks. Powers stunts include:

-Energy Blasts: Psyche+2 ranks energy or concussive force damage
-Force Field: Psyche+2 ranks
-Flight: Psyche+2 ranks
-Life Support: The Star brand provides Class 1000 life support when required.

-Energy Detection: The Brand has a wide range of detection abilities. Most normal electromagnetic phenomena are within the range of the Star brand, including radio, television, and high frequency band communications at Psyche+2 ranks.

-Universal Translator: The Brand allows the wearer to communicate with alien races as if they spoke English, at Psyche rank.

-Regeneration and Recovery: Excellent ability to repair minor injuries in himself or others.

-Mind Tampering: Though the ethics of mind tampering may be debatable, sometimes it is necessary. This power rank is the same as the wielders Psyche.

All power effects happen at psyche feat roll rank (Amazing) but can be pushed (hence the +2 ranks) depending on the color of the feat rolled. Hence if you get a green result, the rank is psyche rank level. A yellow results in psyche+1 rank and if you get a red, then it happens at Psyche+2 ranks...

Star brand limitations:
Mental instability protocol: Drug use, neural interference, vertigo or other forms of mental incapacitation can render the wearer unable to use their Star brand.

Vibration interference: If a vibration from a device is set to a certain speed, it causes the Star brand to function only in miniature, so that if the user wanted to make hands to grab something, the hands would be smaller than intended.

History:
You grew up on the east coast surrounded by a series of sisters one more beautiful than the other. You wanted something more out of life, something that couldn't be bought in a store or given to you. Like the Vikings of old, you wanted to taste life and live it to its fullest. You were always a motor head and got into street racing as a teenager, which led to the real thing when you turned 18. Your sisters thought that you might grow out of it and get a real job. That never happened because none of them seriously challenged you on the matter. You have a long time girlfriend who, despite being a spitfire, is loyal and faithful to you and your boneheaded ideas. You never had a serious crash during a race; the worst thing that ever happened to you was the time the car you were driving was hit by a drunk driver you were hospitalized for six months and out of the circuit. The night you were discharged from the hospital you witnessed what you thought was a plane crash land, it turned out to be the dying wielder of the Star Brand. Realizing that the entire planet was in danger from the menace that savaged him, the alien passed the Brand onto you, who the brand deemed worthy to possess it. You went into battle against the hordes from Dimension 10 and were able to repel them from earth in an effort to keep humanity safe. The universe's ultimate weapon, wielded by its greatest protectors: The Star brand has fallen into the hands of the one race no ever thought would get to wield such a weapon: The Human Race. The Beyonders, the creators of the Star brand, had never intended for a human to wield such power and once transferred to the driver they couldn't remove the brand to take it back.
