Chuu's Custom Comic Babe Cards

[Urborg]

There is some good art out there for sure. Getting all the comics is certainly the ideal way to cherry pick images for her specials though. The Magdalena is a cool character, and a concept I really like. I look forward to seeing your design for her Chuu. If you want to tell me the next character you need images for, I can get started on hunting some down for you.

Should you need suggestions, I have a few for high intellect women: the Engineer, Sage, and Doctor Light.

EDIT:
I just re-read Carol Danver's "Marvelous Maiden" special. If she has a MultiPower card on her that is Energy, Fighting, Strength, and Intellect icons. Do all of those count towards the special, or only the damage type selected for the MultiPower card?

[chuu]

So here is The Magdalena, I tried my best to get all the card names to match her character.  I would love some help making new cards Urborg, message me if you're really interested.  Ya, Marvelous Maiden is kind of overpowered...hehehe...she can't be attacked by any of those icons

The Magdalena is one of those versatile people who can deal with most situations. She can also be an amazingly powerful combatant when she brings the might of the Spear of Destiny to bear. You've done a good job expressing those aspects, as well as other facets of the character. Both in art selection and mechanics.

Her innate, dealing with Artifacts is a lovely touch of flavor, and couples nicely with the Vatican Connection special. With a sideboard you could potentially pick out situational Artifacts to aid in dealing with specific opponents and their strategies, and get them into play more easily.

I'd like to hear your thought process on the link between the flavor of Inherited Memories, the mechanical aspect, and the art. Mainly I'm wondering how these memories translate into staying in the fight longer. Is she drawing inspiration and encouragement from them to push herself beyond normal limits?

[chuu]

this is the panel that led to me making inherited memories.  I don't think it works 100% for the mechanical part of the card, but I also didn't want to give her another powerful card since she has enough as it is.

Many thanks, chuu!  I can take 1 off my "missing" list.

While employing The Spear from reserve makes a lot of sense character-wise, I'm not convinced I'd ever put her in reserve to use it.  With a negate AND a teammate avoid, she'd much more valuable on the front line.

[chuu]

So here's another character that just came up...question is, could she be on the same team as Witchblade...i don't see why not as Team X can be on the same team as Wolverine, Sabretooth or Maverick.

Did you receive any PMs from me Chuu? I tried to send you one, but it didn't show up in my "sent" folder.

This could lend itself to the flavor of the special visually: http://img14.deviantart.net/2df5/i/2012/166/e/9/spear_of_destiny_spotlight_by_nisachar-d53m0e7.jpg

So here's another character that just came up...

Aphrodite IX: Witchblade. That was unexpected. Also your first variant character (I'm not counting Voodoo. Your Voodoo is how she should have been on initial release.). Not a bad choice. Though I was expecting something like Lady Loki. Then again, Loki isn't a legacy character. With so much of the Witchblade armoring her up, she doesn't look like herself. Yet at the same time there is enough of her to affirm that it is Aphrodite IX.

With the Wtichblade she gets a sizable bump to Energy (from 2 to 5) and an increase to Intellect (2 to 3). I get the Energy. The Witchblade covers that. What is your reasoning on the Intellect? A reflection of more experience?

As for having Aphrodite IX: Witchblade and Witchblade (Sarah Pezzini) on the same team ... it could happen. There are alternate realities. Time travel. The Witchblade was also split in two at one point and two people were using a Witchblade at the same time.

[chuu]

That picture is too long too put on a card

Ya, I raised her intellect because the aphrodite IX in IX generation is smarter than the earlier version of her.

Ah, but Team X can only play NON opd... but that's their problem.  I'd say its fine more like original x_men & Prof X opd's.

I like what I see!....AND Christmas came early for me:  A Fighting 7 for 17 points that is an AO user...and so much more!  Thanks, Chuu!

Red Hood's "Custom .44 Calibers" mentions that it can only be blocked by power cards equaling 3. Then goes on to state that it may be blocked as a whole or in parts. Those two aspects seem to be in conflict.

The initial line makes me think it would take a rank 3 power card to block it. No other card would be valid. The second seems to suggest that you can use, for example, a 1 to block 1 damage from "Custom .44 Calibers". Would you mind clarifying your intention with this mechanic?

Pardon me if this has already been covered. There are a lot of posts in this thread and I've only been able to skim them.

[chuu]

Basically it can be blocked with a level 3 power card or a level 1 + level 2 power OR if you somehow have three level 1 power cards you can use them to block the attack.

[Urborg]

Thank you for the clarification. I'm gradually going through these cards again and noticed some things.

Fathom's Aspen Matthews mentions: "Target hero" in the first line. Should that be "Target character"?

The Magdalena's The Light of the Magdalene: Also mentions "Target hero".

Voodoo's Kherubim Hybrid is missing some spaces: "powercard" in the second line and "Drawpile" in the third.

Kherubim Hybrid seems like it could be really potent when mixed with cards that allow you to manipulate the deck like the "look at top eight cards and arrange in any order" Taskmaster special, or draw three specials.

Witchblade's Instinctieve Bio-Armor: should be spelled "instinctive".

[chuu]

I'll make the corrections to the cards this weekend   Target Hero used to be the old text which was replaced eventually by Target Character, makes sense that I put the old text as I probably copy/pasted from Ghost Rider's CH.  I'll also make the fix for the Power Card and Draw Pile errors...that was just me typing out those effects

Can't believe no one has noticed that Witchblade Error until now...it's on all the printed sets as well..lol

hi Guys, In colaboration with Urborg, I created these cards for the The Authority's The Engineer.  I didn't know much about them until Urborg suggested doing The Engineer and I gotta admit that it's a badassed book.  I highly recommend reading the comics.  Urborg also help me find some images and found out first hand how picky I am with my images   Can I get some thoughts on my "Technopath" Special, strong? useless?
I'm also hoping to create cards for the rest of The Authority team by the end of the month, at least the first roaster..

[justa]

Technopath seems like a usable situational card.  If you can hold onto it until late in the game, you can stick your opponent with Specials for a KO'd character or unusable Power cards (hope they can't bring anybody back) or used Activators (probably not if you're using Any Character cards).  Certainly not overpowered, but not useless either.
