Potential Spoiler alert for those of you who read comics, but haven't read them in a while.  This is in reference to events from Amazing Spider-Man #700/ Superior Spider-Man #1-current.





Just a thought, based on the current "Superior Spider-Man" story that Marvel is running, how about a hero card for him.  Might slip nicely into this set.

Superior Spider-Man
E:1
F:6
S:6
I:7

I.A. May play any Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man Special cards.

I've been milling over that one for a couple of weeks.

love the card!

there probably won't be much 'new' stuff included, because the set is already huge.  also, you'll notice a reference already slipped in with the ock card (name AND effect)

it's a great card for a new expansion if someone wants to undertake it.  thanos is also begging for some overpower goodness!

I don't think I saw the post to which you are referring.  Can you link it?

breadmaster

you bet

the genius of your character card is that ock and spidey both have passable specials, but nothing too great.  once you combine them, you get a playable character

DR./DOCTOR OCTOPUS-Superior Foe: Opponent must discard 1 placed card of Ock's choice, and this special immediately acts identical to card chosen.  OPD  (PC)


OOooohhhh  I LIKE this!  Totally usable card for Doc Oct.

OP GOD

So now I have been thinking about absolute evils set. I am under the want, to attempt a play test tournament with this set.  Can we start finalizing this set up. What exactly is still being debated and can we please have maybe a new post with a correlated checklist. Start finalizing cards and characters lets get it going. So we can announce the first new (new) overpower set since its demise.  Please do not misunderstand this, I want no credit. Just want to have it summed up for the end of the year?

What's your thoughts toasty?

i'll work on one big post with all the frontrunning ideas

bios is working on images, and i'm currently shopping around for a printer (hard to find one that is good quality, at a reasonable price for a relatively small print run...~20 sets)

also, just to clarify, this is far from the first overpower set.  lots of people have come up with their own stuff.  bios' fantastic homemades, legion's stuff, and OPbalance's set come to mind

the following is stuff that isn't 'finalized' yet

INHERENT ABILITIES:

blink 6/6/2/5
expediter 2/6/2/6
sauron 6/6/6/2

SPECIALS:

hobgoblin (we'll probably go with the 'may play any specials, playable from reserve' OPD)
angel: death (need a good solid card for him...8m?)

ASPECTS:

stark enterprises (i'm stumped as to what to use.  I like the idea of representing stark's armory, but not sure how to translate it)

are you talking about an additional Special? how about this?

"Target Character may be Spectrum KO'd with only 2 icons for remainder of game."

essentially, this would act like a "spectrum hit" in and of itself, without the block-ability of any actual icons or numerical value. So, it would still take this card + 2 more hits (3 total), but it makes it tougher to block. It also has the lethality that would be in line with his Death persona...

That card is a kill off for angel. I'd use that as abs opd.

I would also like to see a compiled list of all the new card proposals.

breadmaster

does that angel card have enough oomph?  what if it was 'opponent's team' instead of target?

here's a tentative card list (I may have missed some newer changes)

I don't know, man... that seems too potent... I could see taking this in two directions to dilute it a little:

1) Make the card a non-OPD
2) Phrase it, "Target's team's characters may be Spectrum KO'd with only 2 icons." OPD

The first obviously makes it more potent by proliferation. The second makes it more potent by effect, but still nerf's the card some by making it AG-avoidable.

Thoughts?

my preference would be towards the 2nd option

On an unrelated topic (Sorry Guys).  Does any know how to top align text in Photoshop??  I'm creating some Location cards and can't figure out how to top align the Location card name when using Warped text.  I know how to make the text go from large to smaller, but can't get it to angle upward and top align.  Anyone know how to make this happened?  I'm stuck.  Thanks guys!

breadmaster; how is this project coming along? Is this still happening or being put on the shelf for now?

Also, have you been in contact with Bios lately? He hasn't posted since late March. Do you know if he ever finished that Spider-Man set?
