Death Adder

Here's my MP write-up for Death Adder, a member of Marvel's evil Serpent Society! This write-up reflects his Bronze Age abilities. 

Death Adder has several possible attacks: he can slash with his grafted-on claws, swipe with his cybernetically-controlled tail, or use his poisons on either attack. He has two different types of poisons: one that kills and one that paralyzes. He also carries in his belt an antidote to his poisons (Negation).

His claws, tail, gloves, and suit are all breakable.

His suit provides protection from attacks and also helps him survive the crushing depths underwater. His surgically-implanted gills allow him to breathe indefinitely underwater.

Black Mamba

Here's my MP write-up for Black Mamba, a member of Marvel's evil Serpent Society! This write-up reflects her Bronze Age abilities.

Black Mamba generally prefers to attack her victims while they are unaware of her presence. She first scans her target to find a memory of a loved one. Shen then utilizes her Shaping ability to create an image of that person (the shape uses it's own shape-shifting ability to assume the correct form). 

The shape, now in the form of the target's loved one, will use it's Emotion Control ability to cause the victim to be in a euphoric state.

The shape can also siphon Endurance from it's victim or crush the life out of it with super-human strength.

Due to the psychic link between Black Mamba and her created shape (also known as her "darkforce skin"), one half of any damage done to the shape is taken by Black Mamba.

Most of the time, Black Mamba will have her four companion snakes coiled around her body, and delaying their action until a foe is within striking distance.

Notes:
1. When Black Mamba activates her Shaping ability, she usually spends 3 Power, creating a human-sized shape with the following stats: weighs 1341 pounds, SR 15, a volume of 1.67 cubic feet, and has 20 hits.

Bushmaster

Here's my MP write-up for Bushmaster, a member of Marvel's evil Serpent Society! This write-up reflects his Bronze Age abilities.

Cybernetic Arms Destroyed

Notes:
1. Bushmaster's cybernetic tail lets him run, or rather slither, at 32/128, which is far faster than his ground movement of 19".
2. His cybernetic tail gives Bushmaster an overall length of 14 feet, giving him a profile of x1.6.

Anaconda

Here's my MP write-up for Anaconda, a member and former leader of Marvel's evil Serpent Society! This write-up reflects her Bronze Age abilities.


Anaconda Sheet Image
Notes:
1. As I've read more of the source material I've found that Anaconda is much stronger than I initially believed her to be. So, I've changed her stats a bit, raising her ST from 24 to 30 and lowering her EN a bit.

Crystal

Here's my MP write-up for Crystal, a member of Marvel's Inhumans, and her pet "dog", Lockjaw! This write-up reflects their Silver and Bronze Age abilities.

Notes:
1. Lockjaw's telepathy is used to track down people, "see" where they are, and then teleport to them.
2. Anyone who wishes to be teleported by Lockjaw must be holding on to him, i.e., Lockjaw "carries" them.

Black Bolt

Here's my MP write-up for Black Bolt, the leader of the Inhumans! This write-up reflects his Silver and Bronze Age abilities. All of Black Bolt's abilities, except for his vibratory blast (his voice), are channeled through the "tuning fork" on his head. The "fork" is actually a piece of Attilan gear that is attached to his costume.

Use the numbers below for the size of area if Black Bolt speaks:
Area  Level
11"    Whisper
39"    Normal
93"    Shout


Black Bolt Sheet Image

Notes:
1. In the comics, Black Bolt's sonic ability has a truly massive area of effect, capable of devastating cities (and later even continents or planets). Under the current MP rules, this cannot be reflected, so I gave this ability the largest area that is possible, which is 93".

MP Villain Spotlight: Scrapper!

Scott "Disco" Scruggs has been an unlucky loser most of his life. His father was killed when he was still a child. His mother remarried but his step-father, who was often drunk and abusive, never liked him. Scott was bad at learning -- he hated school and skipped it as often as he could. He was eventually expelled from high school in 10th grade. He took the family car for a joy ride, which ended with the car being wrecked. His stepfather then kicked him out of the house and he began living on the streets. He had been drinking and smoking since he was ten years old, but he got into harder drugs in his 20's. He has been committing minor crimes most of his life.

As an adult, Scruggs became a handyman and a junker. He met "KT" ten years ago in the county lockup, and the two have been close ever since. KT's son, Elijah, lives with them both at their base, "Scrap Hollow."

Recently, though,  Scruggs luck has changed for the better. While scavenging for items after a major superhero-supervillain battle, he found a powerful artifact -- a magic wand. Once he figured out how it works, he's been using it to case potential places to rob by scouting it in astral form. Once he knows the layout of the place he and his cohorts -- his girlfriend KT and her son Elijah -- proceed to rob the place.

Notes:
1. Elijah sleeps on a couch, which isn't shown on the "Scrap Hollow" map.
2. A large propane tank serves as the "central power system" for the Scrap Hollow base.
3. Scrapper's armored vest is 3/3/3/3 protection (default values).

Scrapper, "KT" Williams, and Elijah Williams are characters created by B.K. Adams. "Scrapper Base" and "Scrapper Truck" are also created by B.K. Adams. Mighty Protectors is trademarked by Monkey House Games.

Extended MP Range Chart

In my Silver Surfer post I mentioned having done the math to figure out penalties at light year ranges. Well, here's the chart I made. Enjoy!

MP Extended Range Penalty Chart Image

Silver Surfer (Silver Age)

Here is my Mighty Protectors write-up for the Silver Age version of the Silver Surfer and his Cosmic Surfboard!

This is all very esoteric stuff, but when the Surfer was tracking planets for Galactus, he might do so at a 14 Lightyear distance, which in the Mighty Protectors rules has a range penalty of -54 (I worked out the math).

An Earth-sized planet would reduce the ranged penalty to -40. With his telescopic bonus of +12 and with his Acute bonus of +24, the Surfer has a final penalty of -4. His surfboard can travel at 14.26 LY per hour. So, in order to find a planet with an appropriate life-giving energy he needed to make an IN-based task check of 7 or less!

Surfboard Sheet

The Surfer after Doom is Defeated

Notes:
1. I used the Companion ability to model the surfer's surfboard, as it often acted much more like a companion than a simple piece of gear.
2. In the comics, the surfer is able to affect huge areas, such as raising mountains or disturbing miles of ocean, something that is not possible with the current version of Mighty Protectors.
3. I took a modifier from Transmutation -- "any physical object" -- as a cost model for the Surfer's Shaping ability, as he can create almost any type of material.
4. The abilities which require concentration to activate is the surfer directing his vast cosmic power into an ability.
5. I did not give the surfer the cosmic awareness ability, as the MP version doesn't really fit him. His heightened sense of energy detection not only worked to find planets for Galactus, but it also works as a form of "cosmic awareness" as he can sense cosmically powerful beings or events.

Black Noir

SPOILER WARNING!

This write-up details the super-abilities and other information about the character from the new Amazon Prime show The Boys.































Here's my Mighty Protectors write-up for Black Noir, one of the supers in the group called "The Seven."

Black Noir is a clone of Homelander, only stronger and less stable. In the comics, he actually kills Homelander before he himself is eventually killed.

MP Sheet

Notes:
1. I made him stronger than the first version of Homelander that I created.
2. I also added Natural Weaponry to give him a distinct edge in HTH combat over Homelander.
3. It's been suggested that Homelander, and consequently Black Noir, should have Invulnerability. I think that's a reasonable suggestion but it makes them MUCH more difficult to defeat.

Black Noir is a character on the Amazon show, "The Boys". This write-up is by B.K. Adams. Mighty Protectors is a trademark of Monkey House Games.
