Title: Stats for Marvel Characters? Need opinions!
Post by: PowerBalance on April 21, 2012, 10:08:47 PM
Hey everyone,

There were quite a few characters that were obviously intended for Overpower at some stage, since their names were mentioned in the location cards. Having a thorough look through them, I've noticed 9 character names in the locations that currently do not have character cards, so I thought it would be great to make some. However, I am not very familiar with these characters (as most of them are really obscure, except Sauron and Silver Samurai), and was hoping I could get the opinion of Marvel enthusiasts to provide some insight as to what their power grids should be.

Here are the characters:
ABOMINATION
BLINK
EXPEDITER
KLAW
LIZARD
SAURON
SHATTERSTAR
SILVER SAMURAI
VIPER: MADAME HYDRA

Any suggestions for their power grids and any possible inherent abilities?

As per previous message, people agree with the stats?


Some people does and some doesn't. Do you agree with Parallax or Superman's stats? What about Thor or Green Goblin's?

The main difference is that the examples I gave were officially released, while homemades are not official. Since no homemaker is the owner of any official rights, their cards cannot be imposed in anyway.

What really matters its if you have fun playing with homemades and if you have a friend or even a playing group who accepts playing with them. If you don't like homemades, just keep playing with the official cards.

OverPower v2.6b is not official. I'm also willing to ban it from use.

I gather you must have made a set with these 9 characters? What did you mean by officially released? Did Fleer or Marvel already come up with stats for these characters?

I am making the lizard (3E/4F/7S/2I). He does not have the same intellect as his human form. 
Didn't come up with special cards yet.

Good point of discussion though - what do people think the stats could be? Any comic enthusiasts who could help me out with the stats to make my own custom cards?

My best guess would be:
ABOMINATION (2E/4F/8S/4I)
BLINK (6E/5F/2S/?I)
KLAW (7E/1F/6S/5I)
SAURON (6E/3F/6S/5I)
SHATTERSTAR (3E/7F/5S/5I)
SILVER SAMURAI (5E/7F/3S/4I)
VIPER: MADAME HYDRA (3E/6F/2S/6I)

I don't know much about Expediter...

Awesome - from the little I know about the characters ;p the stats look pretty accurate! Thanks for the input. Everyone pretty much agree with those stats?

Anyone have info about Expediter? And Blink's intellect?
