The Book of Kang (Uncommon)
 

Character Bio - Nathaniel Richards was a scholar born in the 30th century. Bored with the perfection of his society, Richards became fascinated with history and discovered the time travel technology created by one of his ancestors, Victor Von Doom. On Kang's first foray into the 20th century, his attempt to conquer this time period is thwarted by the superhero team the Avengers. Kang is furious and swears vengeance, and battles the Avengers to a stalemate. Kang has no superhuman abilities, but is an extraordinary genius, an expert historical scholar, a master physicist (specializing in time-travel), engineer, and technician. Courtesy of 40th century technology, he has mastered combat and tactics, and is thoroughly versed in the principles of time travel. Kang wears highly advanced battle armor that enhances his strength; is capable of energy, hologram and force-field projection, has a 30 day supply of air and food, and the ability to control other forms of technology. Via his "time-ship", Kang has access to technology from any century. He continues to be a thorn in the side of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four to this day.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Kang can only place the markers on spaces he "previously" occupied, not currently.
• When a figure Flies, it is moving over a space, and therefore not really "occupying" it. However, the official FAQ from Heroscape is that a figure with the Flying or Stealth Flying special power may fly for part of its move and walk for the other part, and switch between the two at any time.

NAME = KANG
SECRET IDENTITY = NATHANIEL RICHARDS

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNCOMMON HERO

PERSONALITY = CALCULATING

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

TEMPORAL MARKER 1
Start the game with one Glyph of Temporal Displacement on this card. After revealing an Order Marker on this card, at any point during this Kang's movement, you may place up to one Glyph of Temporal Displacement from this card power-side up on an empty space Kang previously occupied this turn.

TIME WARP
After taking a turn with this Kang, you may remove one unoccupied Glyph of Temporal Displacement from the battlefield and place it on this card, place this Kang on the space the Glyph of Temporal Displacement previously occupied, and take one additional turn with this Kang. During this additional turn, Kang may not use his Temporal Marker 1 special power. When Kang uses Time Warp he will only take leaving engagement attacks from figures with the Temporal Defense special power.

TEMPORAL DEFENSE
Once per round, if this Kang or any friendly figure within 3 spaces of this Kang is attacked by an opponent's figure that does not have the Temporal Defense special power, and at least 1 skull is rolled, you may reveal and remove any numbered Order Marker on this card. After removing the numbered Order Marker, the opponent's turn immediately ends and the attacked figure receives no wounds.

Oh, and I corrected the term from Temporal Displacement Glyph to Glyph of Temporal Displacement. ;)

Re: The Book of Kang - Design Phase
 

Thanks! Updated.

Re: The Book of Kang - Design Phase
 

Are you sure your OK with Kang not taking leaving engagement attacks on his second turn?

Re: The Book of Kang - Design Phase
 

Yeah, I mean he's time traveling ... hard to get a hit in on a guy disappearing from time itself.

Re: The Book of Kang - Design Phase
 

OK, cool. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the results and that they are in fact your intentions. :up:

Re: The Book of Kang - Design Phase
 

uncommon Hero?

Re: The Book of Kang - Design Phase
 

Because he is a time traveler, Kang has many versions of himself from different time periods, and occasionally, they will all work together. They even have regularly scheduled meetings where they all meet at a point in time and have like a council among themselves. Weird I know, but cool. 8)

Re: The Book of Kang - Design Phase
 

cool - now I know more about the character.

Re: The Book of Kang - Design Phase
 

Yeah, that was Griff's idea, so kudos to him. :-) I really don't know much about the character, but I wanted to make sure the great ideas A3n came up with in Chronos' thread found a home.
