Power Points
Abilities 112 + Powers 35 + Advantages 31 + Skills 44 (88 ranks) + Defenses 23 = 245

Complications
Disability: Zemo was horribly scarred and permanently stuck within his mask when exposed to his own twisted experiment: Virus X.
Enemy: Zemo and Captain America have been foes for most of a century.
Motivation: Greed: Zemo wants the world and truly believes that he deserves it.
Reputation: Utterly untrustable, evil, arrogant, fascist bastard.
Rivalry: Zemo must always contest control of HYDRA with Baron Strucker and of the Masters of Evil with Enchantress, Crimson Dynamo, or Abomination.

Baron Heinrich Zemo of Earth's Mightiest Heroes is nearly a perfect nemesis for Captain America. Liberty vs tyranny! One shows the nobility of spirit in a common man gifted with power for the good of all while the other showcases the vile and base desires of high born genius who chased power for his personal gain. Its great stuff. This Zemo has experimented on himself and "evolved his body" til he his stronger and faster than Cap. He's also the guy all of HYDRA bows down to and can command the respect of team of disparate super villains. If they don't respect him, Zemo is also the guy who can take down the Abomination and carries around a gun that can hurt Thor. Zemo is PL 13 over cost master villain who stole the look of his much cooler son, Helmut but retained his own scientific genius and WW II grudge.

And now for something different. The next bunch of builds are still going to be Marvel characters. Heck, the first several will still be street level villains best known for fighting Spider-Man. The difference is that I'm not going to be doing the comic book version. These are characters that I feel came out better or cooler or whatever in some other media. It might not be everybody's first choice for interpreting this character or that character, but it is mine. I hope anybody reading still likes.

I wholeheartedly agree with your choices to base some of these characters off their animated universe counterparts. They just made them so much cooler and without some of their weird history. Kudos!

So that was a hurricane. Good to know.

I just realized that you're in New Jersey! Did you make it thought the storm okay? I mean obviously it wasn't anything too horrendous for you since you are already doing builds after it but still...

Thanks, Luke! Sometimes it takes a couple of tries or a new perspective to get things right and sometimes that happens on a cartoon show. I gotta recognize that.

Sandy, yeah. I was really lucky with that. The giant tree that came down fell in the yard rather than on the house and losing power was fixed quickly. Still, thank you for the concern. Trying to get back to normal, but so much stuff around here is still a mess...

Complications
Prejudice: Delinquent, nogoodnik mutie scum!
Relationship: Avalanche is in love with Kitty Pryde.
Responsibility: Avalanche is the semi-responsible leader and big brother of the Brotherhood/Freedom Force
Rivalry: Avalanche and Cyclops are rival leader of cross the tracks mutant teams.

Lance Alvers of X-Men Evolution is a huge step up from Dominikos Petrakis of the comics. Dom is one of the perpetual losers of the Brotherhood of Mutants, has the personality of a brick, and wears a giant letter on his costume. Lance is still a Brotherhood loser but he's clearly the most powerful of the Evolution kids. Dude utterly demolishes an entire school in his first appearance. He also has much cooler look and a whole bad boy jerk with a heart of gold thing going on. Lance is the defacto leader of the Brotherhood and he obviously cares about them as well as Kitty Pryde and even normal people. Lance almost became a good guy in two different episodes and the peek into the future in the finale showed him working with SHIELD and leading Freedom Force. Lance doesn't have the disintegration waves of comic Avalanche, but rather cribs comic Richter's seismic shift powers. Those powers are what let Avalanche hit his PL 10 caps with huge area effects that can smash buildings and upturn entire fields. Unfortunately, the powers are the only thing PL 10 about this kid who comes in at PL 7.5 on defenses and under cost on points. I imagine he grows into it.

Complications
Enemy: The X-Men are truly Toad's enemies.
Prejudice: Freakish mutie scum!
Responsibility: Toad is one of Magneto's trusted minions and follows his orders.

Mortimer Toynbee is one of the biggest jokes of the Marvel Universe. Except in the X-Men movie. It is there that Toad is a super competent badass capable of flying helicopters, helping build a machine to force mutations, and taking out three fourths of the X-men in a single fight. That is the Toad we have here; an over cost PL 10 with a bunch of powers, combat skill, and technical expertise. Toad hits his caps with his mutant kick, spit, and tongue grab attacks as well as his active defenses. He's not a useless hanger-on, a delusional power maniac, or a sycophantic toady (hah!) but actually comes out looking cool for once.

Complications
Prejudice: Mutie scum!
Reputation: Angry, out of control teenage hot-head.
Responsibility: Pyro is one of Magneto's strongest converts and follows him closely.
Rivalry: Pyro and Iceman were best friends and are now fierce rivals.

St. John Allerdyce is an Australian journalist who decides to join the side of eeeeevil and then died without ever establishing himself as an interesting or cool character. John Allerdyce from the X-Men movies is much improved. He's an angry kid from a broken home who rages at the unfair way the world treats him and his people and joins Magneto for believable character driven reasons. I like that version better and he stats up her at PL 10. Pyro is all offense and can hit his caps with like half a dozen different attacks. Unfortunately he's somewhat lacking in the skill and defense department and so comes in as an under cost teen who doesn't meet any caps except when burninating. He can own house on a whole detachment of police officers or overpower Iceman without having to wear a god awful costume.

[Jabroniville]

Nice stuff- Pyro in the comics was basically just the Mookiest Mook who ever Mooked and was nothing more than a background character (every team needs a Blaster, and he was Freedom Force's). Toad was just another Lee/Kirby Minion Villain, with a classically ugly appearance and stupid behavior to make him really detestable. The movies really did some work to improve both of them (turning them into a brooding pretty boy and a badass martial artist, respectively), and it worked really well. It was funny watching the comics try to mimic "Movie Toad", which was silly on multiple levels- we all actually REMEMBER "Sucky Toad" so it wasn't going to work, it was obviously riding the coattails of the films, and it ignored the fact that Marvel had dozens of martial artist villains already, many of whom hated the X-Men.

[Gazman]

Hahaha! Yes! Marvel pulls that s**t way too often. Let's put the X-Men in black leather, let's make Toad a martial artist, let's say Nick Fury has a son who looks like Sam Jackson and make him the new Fury. What's the point of establishing a continuity if you're going to disregard it the second something better comes along? They had a chance to make some of those Toad level schlubs cool with the Ultimate line but they just made him a different colored loser. I say its okay for comic book Toad be lame and movie Toad to be cool. Just because I like the cool one doesn't mean I don't appreciate the lame one for what he is.

Complications
Motivation: Greed: Stane wants the money and power that comes from running the world's foremost arms company. On his way he finds that he deeply enjoys the suit.
Secret: Stane is secretly double dealing with terrorists behind Tony and the military's backs.
Weakness: Stane has yet to solve the icing problem. The Iron Monger armor can freeze up.

In the comic books Obadiah Stane is yet another business rival of Tony Stark's who decides to hop on the battle armor train because that doesn't already describe half of Iron Man's rogues gallery. Except that this one is obsessed with chess! And no one cares. In the Iron Man movie, Obadiah Stane is Tony's partner and confident. He was friends with Howard Stark and helped build up Stark Industries. This makes it a huge kick in the junk to find that he sold Tony's weapons to foreign radicals, ordered Tony's murder, and literally ripped his heart out. Much better. Stane doesn't have Tony's technical acumen, but he his much better at running a business, glad handing, and lying to his best friends. He has a bigger and badder battlesuit built for him to use in the climax. The Iron Monger armor is stronger, tougher, and has bigger guns than Iron Man. This lets Stane hit his PL 12 caps. He lacks repulsor tech and is slower and less maneuverable, but still: laser guided missiles and 18 toughness.

I've also updated my Iron Man build in case anybody wanted to check that out.

Complications
Hatred: Ivan hates the Stark family for keeping the arc reactor and sending his father to Siberia
Motivation: Recognition: Ivan wants the Vanko name to be exalted above the Stark name in terms of technological developments.
Relationship: Ivan helps care for his ailing father, has a business relationship with Justin Hammer, and vants his burd.

Mark Scarlotti was a jealous loser in a leather fetish suit. The Crimson Dynamo was a series of losers with a silly looking junk suit. Either one rates only on the C list of serious villains. Iron Man 2 combined them into Ivan Vanko, Whiplash. This guy is an intellectual rival of Tony Stark with a personal and family grudge against Stark and the technological acumen to make a fight of it. Vanko is an accomplished physicist rocking Russian mafia tattoos and he can kill giant private security guards with his bare hands. Then he becomes one of only a handful of people in the history of the world who builds a working arc reactor. This leads to a cyber harness and whips that can effortless slice through reinforced race car chassis. This leads to an Iron Man style battlesuit that allows Vanko to win out against Iron Man and War Machine. That's PL 13 with damage, trip/grab attacks, and active defenses. The Whiplash armor lacks the other suits' ranged weapons, but comes with all the standard amenities and killer melee potential.

[Gazman]

Enhanced Ability is kinda weird. Especially in a device. Like Ivan Vanko is stronger and tougher than Tony Stark. His Whiplash armor is on par with Iron Man's. But that means that it comes with fewer ranks of Enhanced Strength and Protection because otherwise it would be much better than Iron Man when applied to higher base stats. Presumably if a real pansy like Justin Hammer put on the armor, it would suddenly become more expensive in order to boost his pathetic stats up to real battlesuit territory. I don't really know what this all means, but I think its funny.

You can just slap a Quirk [Replaces Natural STR and STA] onto the suit, if you really want to make the armor useable by multiple people. Generally, it doesn't come up.

[Jabroniville]

Yeah, Armour is funny that way- with the rules as written, Iron Man automatically makes the wearer stronger than Iron Man if they started with higher than Tony Stark's base strength- Thor putting on the armour would have a Strength over 20!! It's just a funny quirk of the system. I guess it's why characters all have to buy their armour individually.

[Gazman]

I don't necessarily think its a problem. Just a funny rules artifact. One thing that seems pretty clear in 3E is that "Devices" aren't really machines that produce powers, but rather a specific individual's powers that can in some circumstances be taken away.
