The Book of Matter-Eater Lad
The Book of Matter-Eater Lad The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Superman set. Its model number and name are #025 / Matter-Eater Lad. _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - Matter-Eater Lad (Tenzil Kem) is the fifteenth member inducted into the Legion of Super-Heroes, joining soon after Bouncing Boy. Tenzil comes from Bismoll, a planet where microbes had made all their food inedible, and as a result the inhabitants evolved their ability to eat all matter as a survival mechanism. Tenzil is able to bite through and consume all forms of matter; including that which is supposedly indestructible like Amazonium or Superman.Tenzil was constantly being drafted into his planet's political system due to his fame as a Legion member and as such has been unavailable for many Legion missions. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: The Book of Matter Eater Lad - Design Phase
NAME = MATTER-EATER LAD
SECRET IDENTITY = TENZIL KEM SPECIES = BISMOLLIAN UNIQUENESS= UNIQUE HERO CLASS = LEGIONNAIRE PERSONALITY = STALWART SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 5 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 3 DEFENSE = 3 POINTS = 60 MATTER EATER Instead of attacking, you may either choose a tiny, small, medium, or large destructible object that is adjacent to or occupies the same space as Matter-Eater Lad or an unequipped glyph within 1 space of Matter-Eater Lad and remove it from the game. Place any figure that was on the destructible object or glyph on the corresponding space previously occupied by the destructible object or glyph. If the destructible object was a vehicle, place all figures that occupied the vehicle on spaces previously occupied by the removed vehicle. Figures moved with this special power will not take any falling damage. EXPLOSION SWALLOWER If a destructible object within 4 spaces of Matter-Eater Lad would be destroyed, Matter-Eater Lad may immediately move adjacent to that destructible object and use his Matter Eater power. When Matter-Eater Lad moves with this special power, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Re: The Book of Matter Eater Lad - Design Phase
Ok, here is the lamest super hero ever. But he is part of the Legion & has a clix so he has to be done. Even the writers don't use him, as they are constantly making up reasons why he isn't there. Having said that he did save the universe once by eating a device that was supposedly indestructible which would have ripped the universe apart.
So basically he can eat anything & that's the whole extent of his power. I had no idea what else I could do with him except what I have put down - I doubt makes him draftable . So feel free to suggest anything else. I just wanted to get him out of the way & he was next in the planning list for me. I hope this LD is to be like ripping off a band aid.

Re: The Book of Matter Eater Lad - Design Phase
Here's what I wrote up for him a while back. Not a whole lot to do with the character, so it shouldn't be too hard to come up with something.

It could have some interesting uses in getting rid of Evergreen Trees and also 18-Wheelers so that people can use them as height advantage. I guess my other question would be, what about figures occupying a vehicle DO? I can't recall off hand if the vehicle DO rules have a provision for vehicles being "removed" from the game with a figure in them. I know what goes on when the vehicle is destroyed, but "removed" is different. We can't say in his power that the DO is considered destroyed when he swallows it because then you have to deal with "destroyed" effects from Evergreen Trees and Ruined Battlements. Also, how would that work with a Ice Rock with a figure in it? Would they be eaten too? That would be pretty powerful if he were on the Frost Giants side. Quote:

A3n, does eating Matter heal him at all by chance? That'd be a good game mechanic, but I'm not sure if it's accurate. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Matter Eater Lad - Design Phase
I love Matter-Eater Lad. I actually have his figure already.
One thing that would make sense to me would be that figures don' receive auto-shields, as he can eat through indestructible things (such as Cap's Vibranium or Ultron's Adamantium), but it wouldn't make sense with Close Combat Expert and such. I dunno, thought I'd throw it out there. Ability to destroy glyphs and swallow explosions is cool. He'd be a niche figure but definitely a good counter-draft for E-Glyph heavy characters or on a DO-strewn battlefield. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The Book of Matter Eater Lad - Design Phase
Yeah, I think he's going to be a lot like Leech, in that he's primarily a counterdraft.

Re: The Book of Matter Eater Lad - Design Phase
I don't believe that he ever ate terrain. It really is more unnatural objects. Size wasn't an issue just that it would obviously take a bit longer to eat it but I thought it would be simpler not to worry about size for HS mechanics because he can eat anything.
No he doesn't heal by eating, anymore then you or I do when we eat normal food. Basically the objects he eats is his normal food. His race can't eat plant or animal life of their world due to some microbes contained in them. I agree that we need to consider figures on top of DOs, so maybe something like this (which is loosely based off our Warehouse Ruin DO). Quote:

Re: The Book of Matter Eater Lad - Design Phase
What about glyphs on DO's? Should we add that in there after figure? But then it would be weird to say "any glyphs on glyphs."

Re: The Book of Matter Eater Lad - Design Phase
I think we have a few powers out there now that don't specifically provide for that scenario. I think we can fudge it and FAQ as necessary.
