Some Superhero Stuff


Yep, I'm back. Not doing much better than the last time I posted though. Anyway, superheroes! Been on a bit of cape kick for the past few days. I have occasional shifts in my hobbies - D&D to comics to Transformers and back again. Oh well.

First, I've got a new DC Adventures/Mutants and Masterminds 3e page. The first write-up is Wolverine statted at Power Level 10 and coming in 150 pp, perfect for a PC pregen. I tried to make him fairly rounded while still trying to reflect his history. His complications on his older self (not Old Man Logan) before he suddenly got ALL of his memories back, with a dash of X-Men (the first movie). You could also use those stats to represent Daken or X-23/All-New Wolverine. If you're using him in a DC setting you could change Department H to Project Cadmus or add Department H as an offshoot/rival of it.

Next, I've got a Marvel Heroic Roleplaying page. Right it's only got two files, web enhancements for the core rulebook that stat Thor and The Hulk. I'm putting them up here because it took me 24ish hours of googling to find the damn things and I figured this would be easier for others. Homebrew stuff will eventually show up too.

That's all for now, happy gaming.

Recommended comic reading: AXIS Hobgoblin limited series

We live an era when cape comics are oversaturated with Big Events. Most of the time these events are quite frankly utter shit like DC's Trinity War or Marvel's Original Sin. But sometimes, we get a legitimately entertaining event. Right now, Marvel's Axis is one such event. Despite a lackluster prelude and beginning, it's really entertaining so far. Due to a botched spell several heroes and villains have had personality inversions: they haven't quite gone 1005 good or evil but they exhibit either much nobler or ignobler behavior. One of the best things to come out of these inversions is the change in Roderick Kingsley, the Hobgoblin. Before the inversion he would franchise out old villain identities to upstart criminals, setting up their gangs and committing crimes disguised as them to give his customers instant street cred...and his only fee was a cool 40% of all their profits. Now, the Hobgoblin is training heroes and has become a motivational speaker. Deep down he's still a greedy bastard but he's noticed how profitable heroism is. Hopefully, this change will stay part of the post-Axis status quo.
