Machine Man

Here's my late 70's MP version of Machine Man, a Marvel superhero created by Jack Kirby. This version mostly reflects his stats & abilities from the first nine issues. Note that I haven't totally filled-out Machine Man's Arsenal. This version reflects the fact that he has escaped from the facility where he was created and is "on the run" from the U.S. Army, who considers him their property.

Solaar

Here's my MP version of Solaar, a Bronze-Age Marvel super-villain who debuted in Captain America #160 back in April 1973.

Luke Cage

Here's my early 70's MP version of Luke Cage, aka Power Man, aka Cage. This write-up basically reflects his stats & abilities as they are portrayed in the Luke Cage, Hero for Hire and Power Man and Iron Fist comic books.

Gamora

Here's my MP write-up for Gamora. This version reflects her stats & abilities as they were depicted in the early 1970's, before she is killed by her "father", Thanos. Gamora is billed as "the most dangerous woman in the universe!", and at this point in the Marvel Universe, it is probably a correct statement. In game terms, she will almost always take 2 or 3 attack actions, with a penalty of -3 or -6, respectively.

Drax the Destroyer

With Avengers Infinity War about to open it seems fitting to write-up the Mad Titan's Bronze-Age nemesis -- Drax the Destroyer!

Nova (Richard Rider)

The first iteration of the Marvel superhero named Nova was Richard Rider, a down on his luck 17 year old teenager and NYC high school student. Nova Prime Centurion Rhomann Dey, the last surviving member of the Nova Corp, randomly bequeaths Richard with his powers. Nova makes its debut in 1976.

In this pic, Richard is recalling how he got his powers:

Nova MP Character Sheet:

My write-up is based upon the first 10 issues of the comic. Below I give reasons for why I chose certain stats, abilities, or weaknesses:

I used Arsenal to emulate the powers of his Nova Corp uniform. I did this mainly to save CPs, although it did end up being 5 CPs over the Ability Cap. His radio communications, his ability to see in the dark and his resistance to heat and cold, are reflected in the first three arsenal slots. The last slot is an ability that he is described as having in later issues. Future ability slots would include Dimensional Travel (to Hyperspace).

Determining his MP Strength was a bit problematic: in one issue he is shown briefly holding up a building to save his friends. In another issue he is shown as being unable to stop a runaway truck. In the end, I went with the comic when Richard says he "has the strength of ten men." I make up for his relatively weak Strength by giving him Heightened Attack. This simulates his "Power Punch."

Because Rich is still a high school student and complains a lot about how he isn't good at anything, I gave him the "Uneducated" weakness.

Edit #1: Fixed a math problem (had to lower his IN). Fixes are shown on the PDF.

Moon Knight

Here's the Bronze-Age MP write-up for Moon Knight! And here is the Google Sheet version of Moon Knight's Arsenal. He will usually be carrying or using the following 8 of his 12 arsenal items: Ankh, Bola, Cestus Glove, Crescent Darts, Glider Cape, Scarab Darts, and two Truncheons.

Moon Knight made his Marvel comics debut in issue #32 of Werewolf by Night, first published in August, 1975.

Juggernaut

Here's my Mighty Protectors take on the Juggernaut, a Marvel super-villain who made his debut in Uncanny X-Men #12, published July 10, 1965. I've made two versions: Silver Age Juggernaut and a more powerful Bronze Age Juggernaut.

Cain Marko is Charles Xavier's step-brother and has hated him since the first time they met.

It is during the Korean war, when both Xavier and Marko were soldiers in the U.S. Army, that he gained his powers.

The Juggernaut gets through the X-Men's outside defenses and arrives at the mansion's steel door.

Here we see how his helmet protects him from Xavier's mental blast!

Masters of Evil

Debuting in Avengers #222 (Aug, 1982), is the third iteration of the Marvel super-villain team called the Masters of Evil. This time, they are formed by Egghead; the members include: Moonstone, Scorpion, Tiger Shark, and Whirlwind.

Lethal Legion

Here are my Bronze-Age, Mighty Protectors write-ups for members of the Lethal Legion, a super-villain group who made their debut in Avengers #79 (August 1970). The villain group includes: Living Laser, Man-Ape, Power Man, Swordsman, and their leader the Grim Reaper.

Edited 4/20/18: Fixed minor errors on Living Laser and revised Grim Reaper a bit.

Wrecking Crew

Here's my take on the bronze-age Wrecking Crew, a Mavel super-villain group that includes: Bulldozer, Piledriver, Thunderball, and the Wrecker himself.

Wrecker accidentally got his powers from Loki. Later, he gave some of his power to the other members of his crew. Below is an image showing their MP character sheets.

The Wrecking Crew first appeared in Defenders #18. Here's a pic of their origin story from that issue:

Here's a pic of the Wrecker using his enchanted crowbar to deliver an area effect attack:

And here's Bulldozer and Piledriver doing their thing:

Tunneling

Here is a Mighty Protectors Tunneling Ability that is a home-brewed rule, based upon Living Legends "Burrowing" power.

Tunneling
This is a Voluntary attack ability with no range that can also be used against inanimate matter at a cost of movement only. Each inch of movement tunnels through 1 cubic game inch (5 feet x 5 feet x 5 feet) of SR 1 material; multiply the movement cost by the SR of the material being tunneled through, then divide it by the maximum SR capability of the character's Tunneling ability. There is a PR cost of 1 per Round.

For example, if Tunnel Rat's Tunneling ability works against a maximum SR of 4, and he uses it against the ground at SR 1, then he can tunnel through 4/1=4 cubic game inches of earth per inch of movement he spends.

Stagecoach

Plan on taking a trip in time back to the Old West? If so, here's a stagecoach built using the MP vehicle rules. I call shotgun!
