What do you think is the best homemade hero you ever made? By best I don't mean most powerful, I mean they capture the spirit of the original source material while being both competatively playable and fun.
My favorite that I made is Scooby Doo of all things, I gave him 12 specials, yet only one is a numeric attack (because you don't see a lot of violence in a Scooby Doo cartoons) and only is a new effect; everything else I took some existing, if underused special mechanics, and applied to some of the great catch-phrases and hi-jinx of the cartoon series. And despite it all he's completely competative with the right teammates (generally Intellect Draw Decks, although hit stacking is a possible second team type for him).

So without further ado:
Scooby Doo 3-3-3-7 : Must have a minimum of 5 Hits to be KO'd (cause there's 5 members of the gang - :) ).
SPECIALS
"And I Would Have Gotten Away With It If It Wasn't Fpr You Meddling Kids" - Play with an Intellect Power card attack. If successful opponent must move a number of Mission cards from Completed Missions Pile to Defeated Missions Pile equal to value of Intellect Power card. (OPD)
Best Buds - Draw 2 Cards. Do Not Discard If Duplicate (OPD)

"Look a Clue" - Opponent must reveal 2 cards in hand chosen at random.

Scooby Doo rules! Great ideas! My personal favorite is probably Bizarro, with his reverse powers:

Thank you! But what about your cards? What do you think is the best homemade hero you ever made?
Those Bizarro cards are really nice. Having the Power Grid rankings in reverse order on the Hero card is pure genius! I love it!

I didn't hear CCTelander opinion, but here is mine. Fin Fang Foom cards are an authentic portrait of the character. Hope to see more Fin Fang Foom cards in your next expansion sets!

I also really like CCTelander's work and am really curious as to what home-mades of his are his favorites!

Honestly? The single homemade card I'm the most proud of isn't even a character card, nor any of the Specials. The one I'm the most proud of is the Battleworld Location, since the artwork is 100% original. I did it!

If I HAD to pick a hero card, it would probably be the Nova Character, since I REALLY like the background and it's also 100% original. (The background, thjat is.)

OP LIVES!
What's the inherent on Battleworld?
-BBH
Link 4 7 4 5
may use fighting power cards to defend any attack made on a female ally
Hyrulian Defender- attack made on teammate is made on Link
Hero's Arsenal- acts as lvl 4 e/f/s, may make add'l
Master Sword- lvl 7e attack
Mirror Shield- link may avoid 1 e/f attack
Triforce of Courage- Link gains +2 to all actions for battle
Hero of Legend- Link is +6 to venture this battle OPD
Gauntlets of Strength- lvl 9s attack OPD
Hookshot- target opponent may not attack or play specials for battle OPD
Somewhere around here I have the cards that my friend designed for me. They turned out rather well. Anyway, Link was the first character I ever made homebrew, and to this day the only character I've ever printed out and put in a deck!
i like em all
All of the above are awesome! I, too, would like to be able to read Battleword. Scooby-Doo is masterfully done, as is Bizarro! Wish I had something of my own to add, but I've never done more then come up with special names/mechanics and/or Character Grids/Inherants.
I would have to say my favorite is my Amalgam Universe Characters. I've completed several: Iron Lantern (favorite!), Bruce Wayne Agent of Shield, Darkclaw, Madame Cat, Green Skull, Super Soldier, Thorian, Ra's-A-Pocalypse, Mr. X, Spider-Boy.
Actually working on an Amalgam Site as we speak. ;)
i rather liked doctor doomsday and thanoseid(who i didnt actually see)
by far and away, my favorite so far is the Metal Gear Solid set that I made here:
