Artemiscorso's and Drewman-chu customs

[Drewman-chu]

Here is our first combined effort. Hyperion is a takeoff of Superman. Any feedback would be welcome.

Nice work, you two.

Pretty simple custom, with very clear-cut powers. You may want to reword Atomic Vision to say "If Hyperion inflicts 1 or more wounds..." so that people don't think it only works if a single wound was inflicted.

Cost-wise, my initial feeling is that he may be slightly overcosted at 300 points. He's durable, but he really doesn't accomplish much with an order marker (although order marker removal is always threatening). I dunno, maybe 290 or 280?

[Drewman-chu]

I think your right Sherm. He does seem a little high. Maybe even 260 sounds good. Thanks for the feedback Sherm.

Hyperion is an alien of unknown origin, not an Eternal, FWIW. Good looking card.

I admittedly don't know a lot about Hyperion, but from what I read on wikipedia it says the original version is not an Eternal and the Mark Milton version is. Which version did you have in mind Drewman? Maybe we should put Mark Milton under Hyperion's name on the card if we go that way. If not I guess we'll have to reword "Eternal Physiology". Anyhoo, the point cost probably is too high, I'll knock it down a notch.

[Sherman Davies]

I assumed you two intended to adapt the Mark Milton version, since that's the one most associated with the name Hyperion.

[Drewman-chu]

Yeah I was thinking the Mark Milton version.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Sorry, I had always assumed the Supreme Power version was a reboot of the Roy Thomas version, less colorful, more realistic. It appears its not. Although both are called Mark Milton, one is the last living Eternal of his Earth, the other is an alien like Superman, although found by the government instead of a farming couple. He is raised like Truman in the Truman Show, watched by the government. With actors playing his family and friends.

Next up a very rare but cool character Mr. Sinister. Any feedback appreciated. I think he should be a Mutant instead of human. Does anyone disagree?

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Corrected: Actually, unless I am mistaken, he is a mutant who experimented on himself and others beacuse he identified the X-Factor or Essex Factor was present in some humans. One of the men he experimented on was Oscar Stamp, who was freed and moved to America where he took the name Summers.

Thanks Spidey, I thought it was Apocalypse to first changed him into a mutant? Anyone know?
