I really wanted to work up the chain, rather than go in any direction. For the Wrecking crew, it doesn't really matter which one is activated first and it works for them. In the comics the RFG actually make a big deal of starting with ten and going up to Ace.

Maybe just limiting to a figure that hasn't been activated this turn. Therefore, most often you would want to start with 10 and work your way up.

Also, if you are going leader. I'd rework him a bit to showcase that. Right now he seems more tactical support than leader to me. Like maybe a bonus to their rolls or something? I find it helps to have a direction in mind for who they are meant to lead before making the leader so that he can lead better.

Going over the comics again and it appears I made a mistake with the secret identity. I think I wrote it wrong a long time ago and it just kept getting copy and pasted. He is not Derek Ruston, but an android built by Derek Ruston. He should have no secret identity.

Not strongly opposed to that, but I do kind of like the way it is. I know this power is controversial with others and when enough the ideas are presented I will propose a vote and continue from there.

Leader may not be right term. He doesn't lead them into battle, but instead directs them. I think tactical support might be perfect and if that is how he comes across, then I will call it good.

I'd also like others thoughts on the names of the characters. Should it be Ace of Spades or just Ace. King of Spades vs King, ect. In case other versions are ever created.

I really like the current take on the power, actually. Nicely distinctive. Just another Wrecking Crew doesn't sound as interesting.

Don't know the characters, but I'd go with the suit names for greater specificity.

Really glad this is a Public design. Good stuff so far!

To me this is like Hulk vs Incredible Hulk. Incredible Hulk may be accurate and specific, but he’s really only called Hulk for the most part. So I prefer just Ace and King.

[Yodaking]

Ace is such a generic name on it's own that might pop up again that I would go with Ace of Spades here. Then follow suit and go King of Spades, Queen of Spades, Jack of Spades, & 10 of Spades.

It’s worth noting that not all the Royal Flush Gang were spades - they shuffle through the various suits depending on the team. Ace makes sense to me based on the Hulk comparison.

That's the point fret was making though. Leaves more room for other versions.
