Palatinus' OverPower Forum

I thank you for raising your hand. Though I didn't listen. I figured out what new character I might like to make down the road. But first....

Annihilation Wave      6   7   7   1   21

Annihilation Wave   Admiral Salo   
Acts as a level 6 Intellect attack. May be used against Character in Reserve, who may defend.

Annihilation Wave   Endless Horde   
The Annihilation Wave's hits to KO number is increased to 30.

Annihilation Wave   Fleet   
Acts as a level 11 Any-Power attack. Does not count toward Spectrum KO.

Annihilation Wave   Queen   
Acts as a level 4 Energy attack, may make 1 additional attack.

Annihilation Wave   Ravenous   
Acts as a level 6 Energy attack. If successful, Opponent is -4 to Venture Total.

Annihilation Wave   Swarm   
Acts as a level 7 Fighting attack.

One reprint so i don't have to pay $100 for a card.
Any Character   Devourer Of Worlds   
Play during battle. Opponent cannot use Activator cards for remainder of game or until this Special has been attacked with 4 Activator card attacks. This Special may not be negated.

A few more locations. I realized that Smasher was a character i'd like to make at some point in the future so i added her as the 6th character for the Shi'ar. No Inherent because they are an over gird total but their grids are not complementary.

Chandrilar
Deathbird   
Gladiator   
The Shi'ar   
Smasher   
The Starjammers   
Vulcan
When M'Krann Crystal is played The Shi'ar may discard 1 card; place 1 card on the bottom and return 4 cards to the top of The Draw Pile.
The United Front team from the Annihilation series. They are overgrid and somewhat complementary. The Inherent was thematic and I have no idea how it would hold up in real play.
Daedalus 5   
Drax   
Gamora   
The Kree   
Nova   
Ronan   
Starlord   
Daedalus 5 team may not concede and team's KO'd characters are not discarded until the end of the battle.


Thank you justa. I took both suggestions and used them. (technically the art is not a Kree world since i couldn't find a good enough piece but it should be generic enough to work.)
The Kree Empire   
Captain Mar-Vell   
The Kree   
Ronan   
Phyla-Vell   
Genis-Vell   
Wraith   
The Kree Empire Team's Energy Power Cards are -1 to The Kree Empire Team's Venture Total when they Hit.

Knowhere   Cosmo   
Acts as a level 7 Energy attack.

i like your portrayal of the Wave.  no brains, no defense, just mindless attacks.  i was expecting some connection with Annihilus, but they don't need it.

Chandilar feels incomplete without an IA to me.  take a look at the legacy versions of Asteroid "M" and Stark Enterprises - might something in a similar vein to those IAs fit your site?  keep in mind that besides the disparate grids, you also have to deal with A) few of the characters can offer defensive Special support, and B) no negates.  a little help on the KO side wouldn't hurt.  justa thought...

Daedalus 5:  great IA for them.

Kree Empire - i thought there was a decent shot of Hala landscape near the beginning of Annihilation Conquest.  somewhere around when the Spaceknight showed that he was owned by the Phalanx, or maybe it was when Quill visited the prison at Aladon Prime (but that wouldn't be Hala, would it?).  i don't know.

Cosmo - thinking thematically, it seems too much to me.  i see him as more defensive, and he doesn't go looking for trouble.  a non-OPD high level attack card does seem right.  justa my opinion...

creative new stuff, fennshysa.  thanks.

You are right. I got lazy with Cosmo.  I'm thinking maybe scrap that and make a card with the Continuum Cortex. LL&L's Warp Chamber would be a perfect fit. But I'm afraid with Adam Warlock already having a JB Special in my Marvels set that might be too much resurrection power. How about a non-OPD version of Warp Chamber, "Switch places with Reserve, remove 1 hit."?

You are right on Chandrilar too.  I like those inherents but Deathbird and Vulcan having 3 3's  would make them too hard to Cumulative KO. How about a simplified version of FFPlaza? "Chandrilar team may defend teammates with Power cards."

Cosmo isn't a healer.  i was thinking mental powers - communications between team member, psychic defense, protect my home turf and what's under my control, acquiring help, something along those lines.  but sometimes i fear that i am steering your creations too much - like if it makes that much of a difference to me, i should create my own.  (i did create a stand alone version of Cosmo, and built it along the lines stated.)    in the end, it's your call.  we all have our own view points, which is one of the many reasons i love OP.

FFPlaza on Chandilar might work.  i hadn't thought of that.  but for an over-grid team, it might be too much.  i'll have to think about it some.

The Continuum Cortex instead of Cosmo for the Aspect card. Seemed like that would match Landu Luckman and Lake's Aspect.

Added an inherent to Chandilar in the previous post.

Carol Danvers   Warbird   5   4   7   4   20   
May play any "6 to use" Teamwork card.


I have never read the original Rom so I'm not sure how well i did this one.
Rom      4   4   7   4   19   
May keep 1 duplicate level 4 MultiPower Power card.

Rom   Brandy Clark   
Rom's team's Universe: Ally cards are +2 for remainder of game.

Rom   Galadorian Hero   
Add 7 to Venture total for this battle.

Rom   Galactic Guardian   
For remainder of game, Rom may Draw 1 card from top of Draw Pile for each Universe Ally card played by Rom. Discard duplicates.

Rom   Heavy Armor   
Acts as a level 7 Energy, Fighting, Strength, or Intellect attack.

Rom   Neutralizer   
Negates the effects of any 1 Special card. May not be used to avoid a numerical attack, or remove a numerical hit.

Rom   Spaceknight   
Teammate may avoid 1 attack.


Finally got around to Drax's Special cards.

Drax   Avatar Of Life   
Drax gains a +2 to all actions for remainder of battle (+3 against Thanos).

Drax   Battleaxe   
Acts as a level 5 Any-Power attack. May make 1 additional attack.

Drax Destroyer   
Acts as a level 7 Strength attack. If Target Character is K.O.'d by this Hit, Drax may move 1 Mission card from the Defeated Pile to the Completed Pile. Opponnent must move 1 from the Completed Pile to the Defeated pile if KO'd character was Thanos.

Drax   Guardian   
Teammate may avoid 1 attack of 9 or less.  Opponent must discard 1 card from Hand. Opponents choice.

Drax   Pointy Objects   
Acts as a level 3 Fighting attack. May make 1 additional Power card attack. Neither attack may be defended with a Special card.

Drax   Unintimidated
Drax's Placed cards may not be played, moved or discarded by Opponent for remainder of game.

That's it for Characters and Specials in this set. I need a few more Aspect cards, maybe a few locations and some Mission Event sets.

Love the Thanos synergy. Nice touch : )

love the IA for Chandilar!  it makes a pretty useless card into something worth playing.
nice variant on Warbird.

Rom: i read a fair bit of him back when he first came out.  you seem to have the more modern version, with the higher strength level.  back then i would have only put him at 6.  (maybe 6565- counts as 20 - with something extra like Power cards are +1 against characters with stats above 6.  the extra energy points because his suit absorbed solar power, which could be used offensively.)  but a yours seems to be a fair version, and the 1st i've ever seen with specials.

are you going to do Smasher to fill out the Chandilar set?

EDIT:  also, in review of your set (29 characters counting Smasher), i noticed Nova.  did you already do him?  (Dec of '16?  but that had 7 Specials) or was that somebody else?  my memory doesn't always work so good.  there have been 4.5 versions of him created that i've seen, so it isn't necessary or anything.  justa wondering if you hadn't done him, do you plan on doing your own take on him?

2nd EDIT: never mind.  i found him in one of your Marvels threads.  i'll have to go back through your other sets & look for apparent "omissions".

I'm done characters in the Cosmic Set. I'll try and get Smasher into the X-Men set but she probably won't make it until later. I'm looking at another small set for the Champions with newer young characters from the last 5 years, she might fit in there as an extra.

As to Rom, I freely admit, probably could be better but will be staying as is. 

Nova made it into my first set for sure. Richard Rider is one of my favorite characters. He was one of my favorites even before he grew up and saved the galaxy multiple times. Then he just got better. I did just finish reading the entire Sam Alexander Nova series. Pretty good. That's what made me really start thinking about a Champions set. Not as good as Rider but a pretty nice read.

@Photonicide. Thanks! I wish i could do more like that with overpower but it doesn't really lend itself to specific match-ups. I figured since Thanos was so powerful he could use a character that could counter him. + I'm a sucker for theme.
