Oumuamua
Game geek that I am I couldn't help but 'write-up' our interstellar visitor Oumuamua as a Mighty Protectors vehicle. I made it 130 feet wide by 1280 feet long, or in MP stats: 26" by 256". That's about 1/4 mile long! Feel free to fill in the blanks and use this in your own Mighty Protectors campaign.

The Flash (CW Show)
I've been re-watching the first season of the Grant Gustin Flash T.V. show and figured that I would write-up the hero as a beginning standard level Mighty Protectors character. This version reflects his newfound abilities, as shown in the first few episodes, but does not include future abilities such as phasing, time travel, or running up buildings or over the surface of water.

Mastermind (Silver Age)
Here's my Mighty Protectors take on the villain Mastermind as he appears in the early issues of the X-Men.
He seems to have one ability: illusion projection. Because he only has this one ability, and because I tried to simulate what he does in the comics, it ends up being very expensive at 88 CPs, and is WAY over the Ability Cap.
At one point, while Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants are attempting to take over the small South American country of Santo Marco (as depicted in X-Men issue #4), he creates an illusion of an army marching down a street. I therefore gave his Illusions a huge area effect as well as range.

My dog Tot
My dog Toto, or "Tot" as we called him, was killed last night after he was attacked and bitten by a rattlesnake. I drove him, speeding most of the way, to the nearest open veterinary hospital that was 30 minutes away, but by the time I arrived he had already passed.
Toto was born in 2007 and was a "rescue" that my mother and my aunt arranged. After my mother passed away I became his owner, although I had provided for him and took care of him his entire life.
He was a pure-bred Yorkshire Terrier, a "Yorkie", and if you know anything about them you know that they are fiercely protective of their loved ones. He was small of stature but mighty in heart and he gave his life defending his territory. The rattlesnake that took his life was mere feet from the back door, and had I gone outside instead of Tot, the snake might have bitten me.
My mind goes to the "if, but, or..." scenarios but none of that matters. That's reality. And it hurts so much.
So while I write this obituary with tears running down my face I know that I cannot replace my precious "little guy". He slept in the bed with me. He was never more than a few feet from me. If I was working on the computer, he'd be lying a few feet behind me. If I moved to the couch, he'd follow me. He was my constant shadow. He was my best friend and I took him and his "sister" Dorothy, or Dot, another Yorkie mix rescue, with me almost everywhere I went. Even though Dotty had run outside a few minutes after Tot, she did not get bitten by the snake; she's OK.
Getting over this is going to be hard...
Below are some pictures and a video of Tot and Dot.

Toad (Silver Age)
Here's my Mighty Protectors take on the silver-age Toad, who first appears in issue #4 of the Uncanny X-Men, published in 1964.
The Toad is not exactly a world-beater villain, he's quite literally a boot-licking toady of Magneto, who treats him with disdain.
Super-human leaping is his only obvious super-ability, but I've given him a few more, such as heightened agility, heightened endurance, and natural weaponry to represent his kicks.
I should point out that Kicking, like Punching, is something that any character can do (see section 4.8 of the MP rules), and that a Kick is -2 to hit but +2 damage. So, combined with his Natural Weaponry ability, his kick is: +1 to hit, and +5 damage.
