Palatinus' OverPower Forum

Skrulls - thematically cool.  there's a little card disadvantage built into the specials, but they fit well.  new characters are always good for my way of thinking (expand the game).

Quasar - do you see Phyla as stronger than Wendell?  (that's where you have them.)  some unique cards for him.

Jack of Hearts - another first!  with the Scanalyzer built into his brain i would have thought Intellect might be higher, but i'm not that familiar with him, so i can't comment too much.

all in all, good work!   

Quasar. His overall stats are better i think. Plus he can play his teammate defensive special from Reserve. If i used to have her at 6 Strength I think you convinced me to knock it down to 5, maybe i forgot to upload that change.

Jack of Hearts. I never actually read a story with the Scanalyzer (I've only read a few issues with him in them at all) but if i jacked his intellect up that would put his grid totals pretty high. So i just represented it with the Intellect special.

ok

Question for anyone. What would you rate the original Guardians of the Galaxy's Power Levels at (team grid)?
Major Victory
Charlie-27
Martinex
Yondu
Starhawk
Nikki Gold

good luck on this one - i gave up when i was doing GotG characters.
from what i've seen, maybe a 6 for E & F, less for S & I.

lol Groot with 4 Intellect.

but yea Rocket with his innate fits his theme perfectly. any tool/equipment he will use at his disposal to combat his foes

Well, in a lot of the stories Groot isn't dumb, it's just that no one can understand him.
Thanks, I was really happy with Rocket.

I kept trying to justify a 7 in something for the original/future Guardians but ended up with a 6E 6F character. I gave them a nice inherent that is limited by their max 6 stats so it shouldn't be overly powerful.

Guardians 3000      6   6   4   3   19
May defend any Teammate with Power cards.

Guardians 3000   Charlie-27   
Acts as a level 7 Strength attack.

Thank you to OP3 for the idea on how to make this Special useful.
Guardians 3000   Major Victory   
All of Guardians 3000's Team's Special cards are doubled when determining Venture Total this battle.

Guardians 3000   Martinex   
Acts as a level 5 Energy attack. If successful, Target Character -2 to defense for remainder of battle.

Guardians 3000   Nikki Gold   
Play on Target Character as an attack. Attacks made on Target Character, including "Nikki Gold," may not be moved to any of Target's teammates for remainder of game.

Guardians 3000   Starhawk   
Play in current battle. Negates the effect of next Event card played by Opponent. Opponent may still draw for played Event. Guardians 3000 may draw 1 card from top of Draw Pile.

Guardians 3000   Yondu   
Acts as a level 4 Fighting attack. May be used against Reserve, who may defend. If successful against Reserve, Guardians 3000 may attack Reserve for remainder of game.

nice!  makes me kind of wish that Martinex & Yondu were above-grid mechanics like Charlie, but that might have made them too much.
this is another comic i missed - i didn't realize they got rebooted in 2014.  (i assume all the art is from that series.)  my thoughts of them were from the series back in the 70's.

i gave him a 6I!  based on the 60's version, he performed biological experiments on inhabitants of the planets he invaded.  not really smart enough for a 7 or 8, but a solid 6.  its a shame how much his character has been decreased - especially his power of speech.  but kid's love saying "I am Groot!", and it sells, so it is what it is.

Yeah, I just ran across the new comics too. I'm excited to actually read them, they are by Abnett and Lanning also. I remember the 90's comics by Valentino.  The art for the character card, Major Victory, Yondu and Martinex are from the new series.

Going to be doing some x-men characters next. Got a frame worked out for them. 1st up will be Selene. Going to have a very specific theme with her.

figure i'd better add something here so we could tell when you came back to this one.

I'm back.  I've redone all of the Character cards for this set so that the titles are the correct size. I"ve listed all those in the first post now.
One new character. I finally decided on stats and specials for Thanos.

Thanos      7   1   8   7   23   

Thanos   Infinity Quest
Add 3 to Venture Total for this battle, +1 for each Mission in your Completed Missions Pile if your Mission is "The Infinity Guantlet".

Thanos   Mad God
Acts as a level 8 Any-Power attack. Does not count toward Spectrum KO.

Thanos   Mistress Death
Thanos cannot be Spectrum KO'd for remainder of game.

Thanos   Power Hungry
Thanos may play any Artifact card on himself for remainder of game.

Thanos   Titan   
Avoid 1 attack.

Thanos   Universal Threat
Acts as a level 11 Energy, Strength, or Intellect attack. Thanos' team may not attack for remainder of battle.


Terrax went to a 7E 7S. Jack Of Hearts got an inherent ability. Another nod the the "scanalyzer".
Jack Of Hearts      7   3   5   4   19
Intellect Power cards are +2 when used to contribute to a Teamwork attack.

I went ahead and looked at Justa's cards for Ronan when I was done. They are pretty different. We duplicated some titles but not much in the way of mechanics.

Ronan      7   4   7   4   22

Ronan   Accuser Corps   
Discard all cards not usable by Ronan from hand. Replace with same number of cards from Draw Pile. May keep duplicates.

Ronan   Guardian Of Hala   
Avoid 1 attack made with a Power card or remove 1 Power card Hit from Ronan or teammate.

Ronan   Hammer Of The Law   
Acts as a level 6 Fighting attack. If successful, Opponent must discard from Hand until both players have an equal number of cards in Hand. Opponent's choice.

Ronan   Kree Battle Armor   
Ronan may follow up a Universe: Teamwork card with any Power card, regardless of Power Type, for remainder of game.

Ronan   Pound It Home   
Acts as a level 4 Fighting attack. May combine with 1 Strength card for a single attack.

Ronan   Universal Weapon   
Acts as a level 7 Any-Power card. May be used to attack or defend. May not be combined with Universe cards.

i like the changes to Terrax & Jack Of Hearts.

excellent job on Thanos.  your character card is the 17th! version of him i've seen, all with different grids (or an IA, not that he needs one); and your grid makes a lot of sense.  and only 1 of your specials was a duplicate (the AG) among 46 that others have made!
i especially liked 2:  Power Hungry (perfect for him) and Infinity Quest (2 other specials penalized the Opponent for using Infinity Gauntlet - your's is the first to benefit Thanos directly for using it).  good work!

Nice job Fennshysa! It feels right for Thanos to have a 1 fighting, clumsy but hits hard! Justa, I'm impressed that you know, and were able to look up quickly, so many of the custom cards that have been made!

its just a matter of opening the file and looking for me.  no great shakes.

Thanks! A couple of those other Thanos cards were mine from a long time ago along with about 8 Specials. This was the closest that i could come to representing him while staying within the classic guidelines for grids.  I refused to drop either the Energy or Intellect below 7 so he's a touch better than Darkseid.

Those 2 were my favorites too!  He was always after objects of power so the mechanics of Power Hungry seemed correct.  I've been bugged by the blandness of mission cards. I realize that's probably why Events were introduced but I've been wanting to do more with the Mission cards. This seemed like the perfect place to do so.  I conceptualized it as each completed Mission is him gathering an Infinity Gem so he gets stronger.

According to the Wiki entry he is a skilled fighter too but like you said, he usually just blasts or destroys or schemes. So since i had to reduce 1 grid rating that seemed like the one to go. But he can always super soldier serum himself with Power Hungry.

One day I need to send Justa a flash drive and ask for a copy of his archive.
