But then a mysterious caped figure appeared to serve as its special protector. This dark avenger was known as Gravestone [or Fantom, to some]. Very little is known about Gravestone, other than the fact that he appears to he hundreds -- possibly thousands -- of years old. He comes and goes at will, favoring the cloaking shelter of night and shadows. Gravestone is a true mystery man in every sense of the term. There are rumors that men who have tried to uncover his secrets have disappeared, never to be seen again. It is rumored that he may actually be from another dimension or world other than our own. Of the two, this rumor has garnered the most support for truth. Power/Tactics: Writer's Notes: Facts in Gravestone #1 reveal he dies periodically, then must fight his way out of the underworld. The imagery of his personal hell, including the river Styx and Charon, implies that he was born in ancient Greece, perhaps as the son of a god (Phobos seems likely). He is apparently capable of bringing people back with him should he chose, but rarely does because his own continued existence is enough of a threat to the cosmic Balance.

Background/Personality: Norman Osborne, businessman, built a Green Goblin suit to enable him to commit crimes. In general he was continuously defeated by Spiderman, the secret identity of his son's best friend. With time the Goblin evolved into less of a stereotypical supervillain, and more of a maniac, dedicated to the destruction of SM. The first Goblin was killed in a battle with Spiderman, when the latter dodged out of the way of the Goblin's flyer. Eventually Harry Osborne, the son, picked up the psychosis and donned his father's suit. Appearance: Full coverage costume, green "skin" and deformed "goblin" features, big nose, pointed ears, etc. Purple tunic, soft pointed cap and pointed, curly toed boots. Flies around on jet powered bat-"glider", fingers zapping and throwing bombs in combat. Can invent new bombs to face specific foes. Continously cackling (except when specifically trying to be stealthy). Play like a Dark Knight / "Batman The Movie" Joker with super powers, fewer murderous tendencies, but on a bad day. Writer's Notes: A character who really notices the Normal Character Maxima disadvantage. STR: Strength of the mad - equal to Spider-Man's in costume. DEX: Low end superhero level = human max level. BODY: Seems to ignore most pain. INT: Invented and built all own equipment. PD: Seems to ignore most pain - human max. SPD: Low end superhero level = human max level. * "Insane": essentially this means that in one meeting he can be robbing a bank for the money, in another, he can be trying to take over the criminal underworld for the power, in a third he can be organizing a group of villains for revenge, while in the fourth he can be a raving loner, trying to turn the city's population into green skinned copies of himself. This is sort of a GM's license for inconsistency.

After Kathryn Twoyoungmen's death Elizabeth lived with the MacNeils, and Heather and Liz grew up much like sisters. At a rather young age (17) Heather found herself working as a secretary for Jerome "Jerry" Jaxon at the Am-Can Petrochemical Corporation. [Note: Due to this information I've come to the interesting conclusion that Heather never completed high school. - DMK] It was there that she first met James MacDonald Hudson. For Heather, it was love at first sight. When Hudson quit to protest the sale of his experimental armor to the American Military, Heather gave her two weeks notice as well. The next day she showed up at Hudson's apartment with a box of groceries. She quickly discovered that Jimmy had stolen the cybernetic helmet that operated the armor. Heather's response? "Well, a wife can't testify against her husband anyways." Although Hudson was rather shocked, he admitted an immediate attraction as well. It was at Heather's suggestion that Jimmy Hudson contacted the Federal government. This led to a "smoothing over" of things with Am-Can and Hudson receiving employment with the Department of National Defence. After relocating to Ottawa the two were soon married. During their honeymoon James and Heather came accross the wild man that the world has come to know as Wolverine. After Department H was disbanded by the federal government it was Heather Hudson who was responsible for Alpha Flight getting back together. Heather didn't want her "handsome hubby" going into battle up north all alone...so she activated Alpha's call beacons. Heather was present when her husband was seemingly blown to ashes after a battle with Omega Flight. However, she quickly bounced back from her tragedy and eventually assumed leadership of her husband's team, first as a non-costumed operative and then wearing a copy of Jimmy's battlesuit. As leader of Alpha Flight she first used the code-name Vindicator and then adopted the name Guardian, paralleling her husband. Heather Hudson has since suffered through both a resurrection, a death, and then a second resurrection of her husband. [You could argue that she suffered through THREE resurrections, but the one in Alpha #25 was a hoax - DMK] The two are currently apparently happy together, although there were some indications that Heather was becoming romantically interested in Alpha member Wildheart just before Jimmy's second "comeback." Heather is the second person to go by the name Guardian. She has previously been known as Vindicator, also being the second of that name. She is the current leader of Alpha Flight, and made her first appearance in Uncanny X-Men #139. The character was created by John Byrne. Powers/Tactics: Heather Hudson's battlesuit enables her to fly at speeds up to Mach 1, has a protective force-field and can project beams of concussive force of up to 250 pounds of TNT. These beams can be used to tunnel through bedrock (the original purpose of the suit) at speeds of up to 25 miles an hour. The suit also has had a variety of other offensive options retconned in [Kindly note the sarcasm - DMK]. The suit is capable of rendering Guardian "at rest" to the rotation of the planet, providing an immediate, extreme accleration westward. Finally, the suit is capable of creating funnels out of plasma, but this capability has not been used since the days of Byrne. Writer's Notes: The preceding information is courtesy of Dwayne "Keeper of the Alpha Flight flame" MacKinnon, 910252m@dragon.acadiau.ca. He maintains a compilation of Alpha Flight history, and graciously consented to allow me the use of it for this purpose. The second flight slot will give almost (1550 km/h, about Mach 1.3, but with instantaneous acceleration) the proper speed at the earth's equator at SPD 5. Of course, when using this flight the velocity falls off as one approaches the poles. The tunnelling slot will give almost 25 mph at SPD 5. The suit is IIF because it's not obvious it is a suit, it looks like a costume.

This represents Torch's "nova blast" power. It is a grand total of 30d6 in the center decreasing to 20d6 at 10" away, and remaining 20d6 to the maximum range of 80" away. Note that using this power will most likely send Johnny unconscious. And yes, it is that powerful. The Temperature power is from Hero Almanac 2. In brief, level 5 is about 165 degrees (F), everyone in the area without life support vs heat or some special protection is -5 to REC. Level -2 is about 30F. I didn't put a +1/4 limit on all of his powers (doesn't work in vacuum, not when soaked with water) because it doesn't seem to happen often enough to be worth the limitation. The OHOTMU talks about how Johnny 'absorbs' flames, but he doesn't do anything with the energy he absorbs, so I just modelled it with extra def vs heat/flame.

Xavier had plans for recruiting these mutants to be his next generation of students. These plans were prematurely activated by the appearance of a group of techno-organic mutacidal beings known as the Phalanx who accessed Xavier's records to discover the locations of the youngsters. Banshee, Sabretooth, Emma Frost and Jubilee went after them to save the young mutants, some of whom didn't even know of their powers. Ultimately most of the kidnapped teens were rescued and joined the school under the instruction of Banshee and Emma Frost. Paige wants very much to demonstrate her ability to be a competent leader for Generation X, but she has a long way to go. She doesn't want to live in the shadow of her X-Man brother, Cannonball. Her eagerness to show her peers and elders what she's capable of sometimes leads to rash actions. She hates being caught "looking stupid" in front of others. This write-up reflects Husk at the time of Generation X #10. Identifying Quote: Powers/Tactics: Husk can shed her outer skin for a new form underneath. Watching this process in action can cause the uninitiated to become somewhat queasy. Her abilities are really only slightly more limited than her imagination is. So far she's shown the ability to become denser, stronger, and more durable. She can survive fatal attacks if someone "husks" her into a new body very quickly. In the Age of Apocalypse series, in which the characters are more experienced, she could transform her arms into spikes and acid, change her structure so that desolidification attacks would not affect her, impersonate others, and project energy beams.

He was recruited in his mid-teens to join Xavier's mutant X-Men team. He's always been a comedian and practical joker, and sometimes has difficulty taking things seriously. This has proven detrimental to the development of his powers, for until recently (when his body was taken over by Emma Frost) he didn't practice with his powers very much. Identifying Quote: Powers/Tactics: Bobby's ice-based powers are extremely versatile and very powerful. He is not limited much beyond his imagination, though he's only begun to explore his boundaries recently. When in hero ID, he always has +23 PD/+21 ED defenses in the form of his icy coating. This may or may not be proof vs heat-based attacks, I don't know for sure. If need be he can make this layer thicker to provide heat protection, I'm sure, or even make it Resistant. Running (ice slides), Entangles (ice blocks), Energy Blasts (snowballs), and Force Walls (ice shields) are all common uses of his powers. When Emma Frost telepathically commandeered his body, she used his powers to freeze up the surface of a whole river for a long distance (a mile?) in both directions. Of course, there is an unspoken -0 lim on his power pool that he can't use sink all 152 points into one power...at least not if the GM is letting a player use Iceman. :) Appearance: Bobby is a fit, handsome blond man in his twenties. He smiles often. Iceman is totally covered by a thin layer of white ice. Writer's Notes: The "ice powers" limitations is not just the "not in hot or dry" conditions you may see on other ice-controllers. Iceman can produce low enough temperatures that any such conditions would have to be quite extreme. However, it does include the fact that many of his ice-based effects can be negated temporarily by breaking the brittle ice. For example, Iceman may have Stretching by extending a jet of ice shaped like hand and then manipulating it. This icy arm could be broken, negating the Stretching until Iceman reformed it (on his next phase). I'm not going to go into specifics like how much damage should be done, etc., this is more for GM storytelling and drama. It should not be abused by GMs, since it is only a -1/4 limitation, but it's there so that the player knows this possibility exists in addition to the fact that some powers may just not be possible with ice and cold based effects. It is my own opinion that barring only a few (Xavier, Magneto, Cable, Apocalypse), Iceman has one of the highest potentials of any mutant, therefore the high point total.

The +1"/5pts mechanic in the book doesn't work for giant forcewalls. This has a 0.86 mile diameter. ** Sue's "Feedback" is different from the one in the BBB, and only worth half as much. For every 3 body done to her forcewalls over half their defense, she has to expend 1 end to keep the wall up. Thus if Thor started pounding on her wall (with 24 body/attack), it would cost Sue (24-15)/3=3 end per hit, or 15 per round. In less than a minute she is burning stun. This reflects how her walls are almost never brought down, she just can't handle the strain of keeping them up. *** Not vs energy beings, stretchy bodies, super density. Writer's Notes: According to OHOTMU, Sue can now do multiple things at the same time, so I made the big forcefields multi-slots so she can keep them partly up. Here's some examples of what she can do simultaneously: 14/14 forcewall and 10d6 NND 16/16 forcewall and 18d6 energy blast 11/11 forcewall and 18d6 energy blast and Invisibilty vs norm I put Personal Immunity on Sue's Forcewalls so she could shoot her EB through them. I wracked my brains trying to come up with useful skills Sue but came up pretty dry.
