  • NOTES:

    Henry Pym first appeared as a non-super-powered scientist who discovers a shrinking gas and has a terrible adventure among ants in Tales to Astonish #27. Although intended as a 'one-an-done' story in a anthology magazine, Pym was nevertheless brought back as the superheroic Ant-Man in Tales to Astonish #35 (September 1962).

    Over the next few years, Pym would add the ability to increase his size and strength to his power set, first becoming 'Giant-Man' in Tales to Astonish #49 (Nov 1963), and then changing his name to Goliath in Avengers #28 (May 1966).

    Right after he rejoined the Avengers as Goliath, he suffered a power complication and could not return to his normal size, being stuck at 10-feet tall for a time.

Their scaly skin is hairless and orange, and their eyes are large and yellow. Tribbitites have a long, sticky tongue with which they capture their food, much in the same manner as an Earth toad. This tongue isn't strong enough to affect human-sized opponents.

    Notes:

    Doombots: If Doom is ever defeated in combat make a frequency of appearance check for his Doombots. If the roll is a 12 or less, it wasn't really Doom but a Doombot! Though later appearances will portray Doom as a full-blown master of sorcery, this early on he's still just a dabbler, using science in place of actual magic. His Magery represents his natural talent, which he will develop further in time.

    THE MIRACLE MAN

    Miracle Man
    MIRACLE MAN [988 Points]

    Real Name: Unrevealed
    Occupation: Former stage magician, criminal
    First Appearance: Fantastic Four #3 (March 1962)
    5'8"; 140 lb; Black hair; Brown eyes.

    Dodge: 8 Parry: 9 DR: 0

    ATTACKS:
  • Punch (12): 1d-3 cr. Reach C.
  • "Tommy Gun" (13): 2d+1 pi+. Acc 4; Range 160/1700; ROF 13; Shots 20+1 (3); Bulk -5.

  • Performance-12 [1]
  • Propaganda/TL7-12 [1]
  • Sleight of Hand-10 [1]

  • NOTES:

    The Miracle Man is one of the few villians to eschew superscience weaponry in favor of a good ol', off-the-rack gun. His gun doesn't cost him character points (beyond what he needs for the skill), but is subject to all the usual inconveniences a 'real-world' gun will have (bulk, weight, reloading, etc.). He can use his illusion powers to make the gun look like anything else.

    SKRULLS

    Skrull Warrior
    SKRULL WARRIOR

    First Appearance: Fantastic Four #2 (Jan 1962)

    Skrulls are reptillian aliens from a planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy. They have the ability to change their forms to an amazing degree. In their natural form, the typical Skrull Warrior is about the same height and weight as a human.

    ST: 12 HP: 12 Speed: 5.75
    DX: 11 Will: 11 Move: 5
    IQ: 11 Per: 11 BL: 25 lb
    HT: 12 FP: 12 SM: +0
    Dodge: 8 Parry: 9 DR: 0

    Punch (13): 1d cr. Reach C.
    Laser Pistol (13): 3d burn. Acc 6, Range 250/750, RoF 1, Shots 400(3), Bulk -2.

    Traits: Morph (Active Change; Improvised Forms; Mass Conservation; No Memorization; Once On, Stays On; Unlimited).

    Skills: Acting-12; Beam Weapons/TL10 (Pistol)-13; Brawling-13; Disguise/TL10-12; Soldier/TL10-11; Stealth-12; Wrestling-12; Navigation/TL10 (Space)-11.

    Special Abilities:
    Shapeshifting: Skrulls can alter their size, shape and color through mental concentration. This allows them to take on the appearance (though not the special abilities or properties) of any person or object of approximately the same mass and volume. They could even modify parts of their bodies to imitate the appearance of clothing, equipment, or secretions connected with the original.

    Notes: The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe states that skrulls cannot greatly alter their mass or volume, or take on the special physical characteristics of an adopted form, but this is contradicted within their first appearance. The skrull imitating Mr.Fantastic was able to stretch their arms great distances without any seeming loss of strength and the one imitating the Invisible Girl is able to shrink to a few inches in height (causing onlookers to assume they had become invisible). Another shifted into the form of a large rock monster, granting them damage resistance enough to deflect police bullets. The writeup above takes the side of the Official Handbook, but it's easy enough to drop the Mass Conservation limitation if desired.
