FASERIP, not FACERIP. The latter sounds very painful. winking smiley

Right, FASERIP.

I can see Sho'nuff as a Daredevil type of foe, or a rival gang to the King Pin, for those who want to insert this 1980's kung fu character into the Marvel roll playing world.

He would also make for a good Iron Fist foe, and in a pinch he could also stand in as a Captain America, Punisher, or Spider-Man foe as long as he's leading a significantly sized gang of thugs.

Indeed.

Would Powerman be too much for him? They are from the same area, and could make for nice banter.

Yeah, unfortunately, I think Cage would be too tough for him. Without Martial Arts D to throw around and stun Cage, Sho'nuff doesn't have the strength to affect Cage in any meaningful way. He'd be all talk until Luke gets a hit in and shoves his fist down Sho's mouth. His best bet would be to use his minions to threaten any innocents in the area to force Cage to stand down long enough for him to escape.

Right. Power Man is just to durable and strong to be bothered by Sho'Nuff. He'd eat his words if he told Cage to kiss his converse sneakers.

However Iron Fist vs. Sho'Nuff would be competitive.

I'll take a stab at Leroy Green later this week if time permits. My early thoughts are he's is a better martial artists than Sho'Nuff, who could probably keep Power Man busy for minute or two, but beating him is pretty much out of the question, even with the glow power.

Leroy Green. A.K.A. Bruce Leroy from the Last Dragon movie. A humble man who master the martial arts, his final step is to believe in himself. Leroy must leave his master’s supervision to reach the final level on his own.


Fighting: Incredible
Agility: Remarkable
Strength: Good
Endurance: Excellent
Reason: Good
Intuition: Typical
Psyche: Excellent

Health:100 ( With Glow power 155 )
Karma:36 ( With Glow power 60 )
Resources: Typical ( Karate teacher )



Powers: LeRoy Green has the mysterious martial arts glow power which shifts to master to master depending on an unknown but also unquestioned faith for those who believe in it. It can be used for good or evil. In his case good, as the glow is gold, not red. LeRoy’s glow power exceeds Sho’Nuff’s. While drawing from the glow power Leroy Green gets a +2CS on Fighting and Agility and a +1CS on Strength, Endurance, Reason, Intuition and Psyche, All Actions and feats, plus an energy like shock bonus of poor damage to any blow landed, and the equivalent of poor body armor vs. all attacks making him nearly invincible in unarmed combat by normal human standards with what can be viewed as super human fighting, and agility. In Leroy's case, he only uses the glow power when necessary.


As a power stunt, he can catch a bullet in his teeth. Judges can work with the player to set limits of the glow power. Since the glow power is amplification and relies on belief, anything LeRoy Green was proficient in prior to attaining the glow power is amplified in terms of power or ability stuns. In this case he could snatch an arrow in fight, catching it perfectly in his hand prior to attaining the glow power.


Talents:

Martial Arts A, B, C, G, M, Acrobatics
Projectile deflection – Bruce Leroy can deflect fast moving objects out of the air at the amazing level, and as a stunt catch them with a yellow fighting roll. This is amplified with the glow power.
Philosophy - Asian
Oriental Weapons, Kung Fu weapons.
Teacher


Weakness: LeRoy is a bit naïve socially speaking, and has a -1 CS in social situations in terms of reason and intuition. This becomes most obvious with women, strangers, or older people he respects.

Sho Nuff had a egoistical weakness IMO, he would be constantly trying to prove he the master.
It a nice write up.
