Character Bio - As a young man, Gim enrolled in the Science Police Training Academy to become a member of the Science Police. While on vacation on Mars with fellow cadet and childhood friend Gigi Cusimano, a strange meteor crashed into the soil near him. The meteor's radiation altered his body's RNA, giving him the power to grow to giant sizes at will. For a short time he used this power to aid him as a Science Police cadet, but his parents encouraged him to pursue justice in other avenues. He joined the Legion of Super-Heroes as an early recruit, alongside fellow applicant Chameleon Boy, whom Gim gave his codename as the other boy reminded him of a chameleon that Gim had as a boy for a pet. The pair were sworn in together and Gim took the name Colossal Boy, Cham and Gim remained good friends throughout their careers and Gim also later became close friends with fellow Earthling, Sun Boy.

Re: The Book of Colossal Boy - Design Phase
 

NAME = COLOSSAL BOY
SECRET IDENTITY = GIM ALLON

SPECIES = METAHUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = LEGIONNAIRE
PERSONALITY = TENACIOUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = HUGE 8

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = 175

COLOSSAL ATTACK
When attacking with Colossal Boy's normal attack you may either:

• Add 1 to his range when attacking a figure whose base is no more than 6 levels higher than his height or 6 levels lower than his base, or
• Choose one other figure adjacent to the defending figure to be affected by this attack. Roll attack dice once for both affected figures. Defending figures roll defense dice separately.

GIANT DEFENSE
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack from a figure that is not Huge, if you roll at least one shield, the most wounds Colossal Boy can take from this attack is one.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING

Pics to come.

Re: The Book of Colossal Boy - Design Phase
 

I'm guessing this was meant to be in the Inner Sanctum, but it's good to see more Legionnaires going through the design process.

Re: The Book of Colossal Boy - Design Phase
 

Moved back to sanctum. :p

No complaints here. Nice, simple, and thematic. :up:

Re: The Book of Colossal Boy - Design Phase
 

:oops: Bugger.

Re: The Book of Colossal Boy - Design Phase
 

:lol: No biggie. :-)

I like the power set and I like the bolded left box characteristics and stats. No concerns at all here.

Re: The Book of Colossal Boy - Design Phase
 

He's a Metahuman, not a Martian - he's from Earth and is human, he just got his powers while on Mars.

Powers look great, very standard "big dude" stuff ripe for reuse. :up:

Re: The Book of Colossal Boy - Design Phase
 

I agree he is not Martian, (I must have been thinking about the period known as Leviathan when I entered that), but I'm not sure of his true species. I believe his original species was human & he was affected by a meteorite that gave him powers to grow, but I believe the most accepted version was where he belonged to a race of Giants & he has a mutant ability that allows him to shrink. I am not sure what the race of giants is though.

Re: The Book of Colossal Boy - Design Phase
 

Hmm... really depends where we want to go with it. The original version is Metahuman, the 2004 version is some kind of giant, the post-Infinite Crisis reverted him back to Metahuman.

I think Metahuman would be simplest but if we want to go with "Giant" or something along those lines I wouldn't argue.

Re: The Book of Colossal Boy - Design Phase
 

Looks good. Big bruiser type.

Re: The Book of Colossal Boy - Design Phase
 

Sounds like Metahuman is iconic enough to be acceptable here.
