My DC3

[fennshysa]

Here is my take on a third DC set. Same as marvel i will have a number of updated cards plus new cards.
Also, I recommend an adblocker if you are viewing the cards in photobucket. I just tried it on a computer without and adblocker and it was horrendously slow, sorry.

Black Adam is right up there with superman in my book. So he gets really good grid levels and some staying power along with good attacks.
Black Adam
Black Adam   Eye For An Eye
Black Adam   Isis
Black Adam   Power Of Shazam
Black Adam   Ruler Of Kahndaq
Black Adam   Stamina Of Shu
Black Adam   Strength Of Amon
Black Adam   Teth Adam

Cheetah i had to build based off of wiki entries since I've never really read anything with her in it. Hopefully i got her close to right. I had to mix in some new 52 style images but they don't look too different to bother me.
Cheetah
Cheetah   Barbara Ann Minerva
Cheetah   Duck
Cheetah   Enchanted Claws
Cheetah   Feline Fury
Cheetah   Killer Instinct
Cheetah   Vessel Of Urzkartaga


Deathstroke. He's the guy who can go up against anyone regardless of their powers. Hopefully i did a decent job with his specials. I went with 5 of the 6 card titles from the DC3 set.

Deathstroke
Deathstroke   Army Of One
Deathstroke   Battlestaff
Deathstroke   Broadsword
Deathstroke   Immortality Factor
Deathstroke   Instant Reflexes
Deathstroke   Sidearm
Deathstroke   The Terminator

Doctor Fate. This one was hard. So many different variations. I settled on the 8 E since he is dc's doctor strange's. This one is more influenced by the Hector Hall version of Dr Fate (Agent of Balance instead of Agent Of Order). These are my least favorite bunch of specials that i've done from DC. Open to other ideas.
Dr Fate
Dr Fate   Agent Of Balance
Dr Fate   Amulet of Anubis
Dr Fate   Cloak Of Destiny
Dr Fate   Helm Of Nabu
Dr Fate   Mystic Bolt
Dr Fate   Tower Of Fate

great takes!  i've only seen Black Adam & Cheetah done once before.  very little overlap with other creators - i like.
all characters except Deathstroke seem a little high in grid total, but hey, we all have opinions.  the specials are definitely playable, though Deathstroke's Battlestaff would be better if the Fighting card came from the Power Pack, or if you could DTR if defended.
keep it up, fenn.   

[fennshysa]

a few comments of encouragement....
The Rogues:  several of the specials are remakes of your old cards for "Rogues Gallery".  i like the choices of special effect vs. character!  i note that you changed the text of Captain Cold from Energy to Fighting, but the card still has the Energy icon.  which do you intend now?
Solomon Grundy:  first time i've ever seen him done as a complete character!  despite the "unwritten rules", i could even see taking a point off Intellect & adding it on to Strength to make 2481.  maybe even 2581.  team him up with hulk, abomination, and (depending on the versions used for the last 2) any high-grid 8-Strength character & you've got one hell of a Strength team!  (who to put in Reserve??)  not sure if i'd play Reborn Intelligence - that's one dangerous mo-fo of a card.
Zatanna:  bios, chuu, & OP3 have all done versions of her, yet you've developed a new take.  only 1 overlap special.  bravo.

[fennshysa]

Thank you for the kind words. I fixed the Captain Cold Special, it was supposed to be energy.

Grundy was originally an 8 when i was drafting ideas but there are so many other more deserving 8 Strength characters. And he varies in power each time he is reborn so i went with the more acceptable 7.  Reborn Intelligence must have been an old idea of mine or I stole it from someone else. I found it in a set of old ideas and went with it.

Added Lobo and Harley Quinn to the post above.

Grodd. Because Gorilla Grodd took to much space on the character card.  I lifted a few of his specials straight from Onslaught. He could probably use an Inherent too. Looking for ideas.

Grodd    6   3   6   6   21

Bestial Brawn   
Grodd may avoid any numerical attack.

Genius Intellect   
Acts as a level 7 Intellect attack. If successful, opponent must move 1 Mission card from the Completed Missions Pile to the Reserve Missions Pile.

Gorilla Warfare   
Acts as a level 9 Energy or Strength attack.

Merciless Conqueror   
KO any one of Grodd's teammates. All of teammate's Hits from Current Battle are discarded and do not get added to Venture Total for this battle.

Savage Beast   
Acts as a level 5 Strength Attack. May be made after opponent has conceded the battle. Opponent may defend.

Telepathic Attack   
Acts as a level 5 Energy attack. If successful, Target character may not attack Grodd for remainder of battle.


Firestorm. Since he's a varied character I tried to use the specials to encompass some of his variations.  But it's mostly inspired by the Raymond/Stein version. He's another one of those DC Characters like The Ray and Superman who could be a level 8 Energy but you never usually see him using that kind of power.

Firestorm      7   2   4   5   18   
Firestorm's Basic Universe cards count toward Damage and Venture Total.

Firestorm   Fire Elemental      
For remainder of game, Firestorm may Draw 1 card from top of Draw Pile for each Basic Universe card played by Firestorm. Discard duplicates.

Firestorm   Firestorm Matrix   
Target teammate may play any Firestorm Special cards for remainder of game.

Firestorm   Fury Of Firestorm      
Acts as a level 11 Any-Power attack. Does not count toward Spectrum KO.

Firestorm   Merged Being      
Acts as a level 1 Intellect attack, +1 for each card in Firestorm's hand. If successful, acts as a level 5 Fighting or Strength Power card.

Firestorm   The Nuclear Man      
Acts as a level 7 Energy attack.

Firestorm   Rearrange Matter      
Opponent must discard 1 Placed card of Firestorm's choice.

Firestorm   Transmutate   
Negates the effect of any 1 Special card played by opponent.

Some Green Arrow Stuff coming soon. I solved my Ollie Queen/Connor Hawk dilemma by simply making alternate art specials. Including for the Justice League set specials. So you can play a game with either Oliver or Conner on your cards.

[justa]

Lobo:  i think you really need to reconsider his stats - 24 total cost?!?  something has to give here, maybe to somewhere in the 20-22 range.  but they are your cards, and the specials do look fun.
Harley Quinn:  i agree she needs an IA.  the only thing specific to her i can think of is "Harley's power cards are +1 when used to follow up a teamwork attack".  she seems more effective when she hits right after someone else attacks.
Grodd:  seems strange without the "Gorilla", but i can get used to it.
Firestorm:  agreed that a 7 Energy is appropriate here.  i love the art on Merged Being - is that "as is", or did you resize two different pictures to create the split effect?
Green Arrow:  without the identity added, i don't think it matters which character the art is from.  if you're not differentiating between Firestorms in that set, why do it for Green Arrow?  either use some art of each to make a generic GA set, or make 2 separate sets - one for GA: Queen and one for GA: Hawke.  if you decide to do Green Lantern, how will you handle that?  (it gets complicated!)   
they look good.

[fennshysa]

I considered giving him an 23 or 22 pts for tournament deckbuilding inherent. Then i figured since his stats are so good maybe just leave him at 24.
I may just go with your idea for Harley, Thank you!

Merged Being was a cover for one of the newer pre 52 series.

Well, i did it because Green Arrow bothered me for some reason while Green Lantern really didn't bother me. I know, kind of irrational but that's just me.

Thank you.

EDIT: Well, here we go again.

One of the things i loved about Overpower was the extras and  tie-ins that they did. All the any characters in random different places but especially the Onslaught cards in comics and as chase cards in the trading card sets and the wildstorm chromium cards and batman holo heroes. I always though it would have been awesome as the movies started coming out to release movie versions of the hero cards and other tie in things in big comic book storylines. So here is an Oliver Queen from the CW.
