Palatinus' OverPower Forum

Hi All,

I'm a UK based overpower collector and player, looking to complete my collection.  The only card I need is the Beyonder character card.  If you've got one and are willing to seek, message me to see if we can work something out.

Thanks

Tom

Quote from: Demacus on February 23, 2019, 10:36:01 AMI have a quick question on Activators, which kind of ties to this topic.

Back when Monumental released and the "Use old hero cards as Activators" rule came into play for the first time, my friends and I were very confused by how to use Activators.

The rules of the time seemed to indicate that if you were making an attack from a battlesite, that you would actually target an opponent's character with the Activator Card itself, and not the attack you intended to use, until the Activator itself was either defended against or not, at which point you would swap the activator for the attack that you planned to use under the battlesite.

Is this accurate, or do you simply reveal the Activator Card from your hand, and swap the attack/defense from under the battlesite immediately, then play that card itself?

Under the implied rules at the time, cards like "No cards with a fighting icon can be used against (x) for remainder of battle" would effectively halt the Activator Card cause it would contain a fighting icon, thus stopping the incoming battlesite attack, even if the attack card in question didn't have a fighting icon on it.

You're technically playing both the Activator and the Special at the same time. So, the icons on the Activator are considered part of the attack, even if the attack had no icons at all (like an AX special). Also, this would mean that a failed attack would still remove the Battlesite Special from the Battlesite, so you couldn't attempt that same attack Special again, later, when you drew another Activator for it.

Having said that, some circles are now using proxy activators that use Character cards. instead, they might have an Activator Icon, or some circles use a proxy that has no icons at all

Sweet! Liking them. I love Destructive Rage for Amazo! I was working on him last week and we definitely went different ways but had some specials overlap. However the mechanics for destructive rage are so perfect for him i may have to scrap one of my other cards and use that on mine too!

a small addition to mirror the marvel thread.  i intended to continue the "attack of the clones" theme, but Comm. James Gordon is the only one, and it seemed redundant to do him solo, as it all comes back to the G.C.P.D.  but the research did point me do an un-done character:

Renee Montoya



Specials:
Crack Shot
Defining Moment
Off-Duty Operation
Protect & Defend
Quick Reflexes
Take-Down
The New Question

which pointed me to another un-done character:

Richard Dragon



Specials:
Bludhaven Brawl
Chi Channeling (several of you all have asked for something like this)
Death Match
Dragon Fists
Former Thief
Many Come- Some Learn
Martial Arts Master

for parity"s sake, since i did marvel's Super Adaptoid, i should present the DC predecessor (similar but different build):
Amazo



Specials:
Absorption-Cell Technology
Destructive Rage
Ivo's One-Man Justice League
Laser Vision
Mechanical Repairs
Object Duplication
Power Mimic

and again, for parity's sake, i did the Heralds of Galactus, so why not the
Heralds Of The Anti-Monitor (an actual team, short-lived as it was)



Specials:
Cyborg Superman
Manhunters
Parallax
Sinestro
Superboy-Prime
The Anti-Monitor
The Power Of Fear

and finally (to go completely off the rails), a short lived team, based on an interesting concept, with some cool art; but the story line...  built for attack only, no defense outside of the exaggerated Power grid, nothing but OPD Specials, i present to you my version of:

Barbatos' Dark Knights



Specials:
Barbatos
The Batman Who Laughs
The Dawnbreaker
The Devastator
The Drowned
The Merciless
The Murder Machine
The Red Death

that's all for now...

a small addition that started as the "attack of the clones".  several have been done independently, but not all.  they are NOT the characters/teams that their IAs allow for special cards.  they have their own stories.  if they were worthy of inclusion in legacy OP, then why not fully invest them?

first up: Callisto



Specials:
Bo Staff
Deadly Accuracy
Intuitive Tactician
Masque Modifications
Morlocks Leader
Strategic Strike
White Knight

Deathbird



Specials:
Broodling
Empress Cal'syee
Energy Javelin
Protective Pact
Talon Strikes
War
Warrior's Respect

Donald Pierce



Specials:
Anti-Mutant Antagonist
Back Again!
Hellfire Soldiers
Hydraulic Vengeance
Mutant Hunter
Totally Cybernetic
White Bishop

Doppelganger



Specials:
Arachnid Attacker
Doppel-Shock
Hardened Talons
Multi-Armed Menace
Protect "Mother"
Razor-Sharp Webbing
Scare Factor

and 1 last character, who might have been a clone, but not today... Karnak



Specials:
Flexible Fighter
Inhuman Anomaly
Magister
Meditative Focus
Secret Invasion
Stress-Point Detection
Super Kick

that's all for now...

8/13/24 - I also add 5 more locations:  Axis Germany, Castle Dracula, Heliosphere Refuge, The Peak, & Symkaria

They can be found here: https://www.deviantart.com/justaopfan/gallery/62375527/miscellaneous-marvel

9/21/24 - added 4 characters (Carrion, Danger, Spidercide, & Swordsman) and 3 locations (France, Serval Industries, & Warren's Lab)

10/20 So many views, so few comments.

1/1/2025 - Happy New Year!  added Rama-Tut (clone of Kang, no specials, until something better comes along), Starfox, Monica Rambeau (Captain Marvel, Photon, Spectrum... it's all Monica), Ahmet Abdol (Living Pharaoh/Living Monolith - my first 2-sided character), Lockjaw, and the Bamfs

Yeah, that was a lack of art. Working on it.

Your call - it was justa suggestion.
I noticed that Wolf Gang's "Home Turf" didn't make it into the google drive.

I'm not against it. I'll look and see if I can come up with something.

any thoughts on adding Kabuki to this set?  (From Caliber/Icon/Dark Horse comics.)  A similar look to Shi, but less aggressive and more intrigue orientated.  I have 2 character cards (in my "unusable" file) from the old pre-Forum website, but no specials.  I'm not familiar enough with the character to do it myself.
