From my count we actually have quite the few "bruiser" type characters. There is Red a.k.a. Primal Boy, Cora a.k.a. Exile, Alexandrovich a.k.a. Plutonium, and maybe Louisa a.k.a. Tisiphone and Lex a.k.a. Brainiac but that depends on how they are played. I think the problem with the whole OPness of the character was that there was nothing that could really stop do to her borderline immortality from her regeneration, just inconvenience her for a time being. Like you said her powers are like a water downed Deadpool, but you have to keep in mind that Deadpool is the type of character that is amazing to read but hard to play with seeing as he is never on a equal playing field as those around him... anywho that was my thought of the day... I'll just go sit in the corner now
Well to be fair Regeneration is better than Invulnerability from a story standpoint as it is easier to counter and can lead to some very dark torture scenes and the like. But ya know, people don't think about that sorta thing so w/e.
I would still say in general the character is too powerful compared to the rest of our powers.
ah, ok, so you understand that invuln is about equal to regen in powerset terms.
Though do you guys have any 'bruiser' fighters like Superboy? Because if he or Deadpool-esque are too strong, you can't even stand up to Bane very well tbh.
Anyone ever play City of Heroes? If not, Valiance Online should be close to the feel of CoH. CoH was a very fun game.
Hell no. A physicist like Peter Parker having trouble with his rent is beyond ridiculous and after what's happened to the X-men in the last decade, I think Marvel right now is really into PC and parody nowadays.
To be fair, Marvel HATES Spiderman/Xmen/Fantastic Four as they don't own the movie rights to those franchises.
So... hws my char? I know the bio is a bit weak, but I'm not good at those, lol.
I'm bad at Bios. Also is it just me, or is Marvel better than DC when it comes to character development outside of intense stories?
Name - Light
Alias - Light (Shes not very original.)
Age - 24
Appearance -
A 1.8m tall pure white skinned humanoid with a ball like head with large black and orange eyes, a mouth, short blue hair, fin-like ears, and no nose. She wears a blue and white dress with the front open, a triangle tabard occupying that space. She has longish flowing sleevish arms with 4 spiky fingers, legs that end in a point instead of a foot, and a 'space' looking darkness on the inside of her dress.
Personality - Light has a very outgoing carefree attitude with a poor grasp on consequences or awareness to danger due to her abilities. This often gets her into trouble as shes more prone to joke and make friends with her enemy than fight them, unless they attack her first, plus she has a habit of falling into traps. Don't let this playful nature fool you though, Light is incredibly smart and fairly observant. She can't tolerate anyone who hurts her friends or takes away the freedom of others, and this is a great way to make her angry.
Gear (optional) - None
Power/ability -
Ultimate Regeneration: Light can regenerate from any injury that isn't atomization. This includes supernatural or magical alements like being turned to stone, having her body switched, having her soul ripped out, psionic attacks, ext.. Supernatural afflictions take far longer to regenerate from, and it is random when she'll regenerate from them. She regenerates by "popping" back to normal after a time.
Cartoon Physics: Light has different physics from the rest of the world. A simple way of explaining it is her body looks like its "made of rubber" due to her exaggerated stretchy movements. This also causes her to react differently to injuries and situations, such as severe blunt trauma causing her body to contort into strange shapes, fire or other disintegration like effects often leaving behind her eyeballs before she regenerates, and the like. This also causes weapons she holds to act very differently than normal, often in detrimental ways.
Entropy: Light causes whatever she is touching to lose energy and be unable to gain it as long as she is touching them. The harder she impacts something, the more energy is taken from it while grapples take very little energy. Light gains speed equal to the amount of energy she has absorbed via Entropy. Also works on Magic, but to a much lesser degree.
Super Strength: Light has moderate levels of Super Strength.
Pocket Space: Light can pull various objects from a spot under her dress called Pocket Space. These objects are random and are mostly contextual in nature, and are often very unreliable in a fight but great for parties.
Portable Hole: Light can pull a wormhole out from under her dress in the shape of a black circle which she can place at her feet and jump into. She will then come out of a hole that appears on a solid surface which she can see or thoroughly remember.
Weakness - Due to Entropy and Cartoon Physics, Light is unable to use almost any weapon for one reason or another. For example, most blunt, bladed, or pointed weapons become too dull to use or too rubbery, while firearms will either not work, have slow bullets, or cause sooty explosions that don't do much damage. Even explosives have their power cut down significantly.
Cartoon Physics also makes injuries more severe looking than they should be, IE blunt force causing her to become flat as a pancake or something to that nature.
Due to Cartoon Physics, tying Light up with rope or cable or whatever is extremely effective for whatever reason as she has a very hard time getting out of them.
Her Regeneration has also given Light a sense of Immortality, so much so she has a very hard time detecting danger and thus falls into traps very easily.
Light is also very slow moving until she can get some speed via Entropy.
Bio - Light was found in the City of Metropolos stopping some criminals from an attempted takeover of Star Labs after the trial of Red Arrow. It is unknown where she came from or how she got there, but after seeing her handle the armed thugs with little problem and minimal damage, she was asked to join the Justice League, more so out of the JL's necessity for new members than anything of her standing due to her mysterious circumstances.
