I could see some sort of Venom Research or Advancement type of power where if a Bane Gang figure is adjacent to a figure with the Driven personality add +3 to all Venom Injection rolls this player turn.

Drive for Knowledge? The name can be worked on. It's gamey, I know, but it thematically shows that by the time he's injecting it in others, Bane has improved the formula, and it gives more connective tissue between him and them. Also, I could see Batman improving the formula just as much.

Edit: You ninja'ed my ninja!

Yea, I'd make it adjacent. You want to cluster them and Bane together...and you can call it Venomous Inoculation.

[MrNobody]

NAME = BANE GOONS (Name Pending)

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE SQUAD (4)
CLASS = CRIMINALS
PERSONALITY = DEVOTED

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 1

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 2
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = ???

OUTLAW BONDING
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and before taking a turn with Bane Goons, you may first take a turn with any Unique Outlaw Hero you control.

VENOM INJECTION
After moving and before attacking, you may roll the 20-sided die.
• If you roll 1-3, destroy a Bane Goon you control;
• If you roll 4-8, add one die to the Bane Goons' attack;
• If you roll 9-18, add two dice to the Bane Goons' attack;
• If you roll 19 or higher, add four dice to the Bane Goons' attack.

ILLEGAL RESEARCH
Whenever you roll 16? or higher for the Bane Goons' Venom Injection, place a green Venom Marker on this card. There may be a maximum of 3 Venom Markers on this card. For the rest of the game, whenever you roll the 20-sided die for the Venom Injection special power on any Army Card, you may add 1 to your roll for each Venom Marker on this card.

SUPERSTRENGTH?

How does this look? I like not having the word Subjects in there cause to me that reads as unwilling/unaware victims, but that's totally a minor thing.

Since they are a unique squad, I kind of like the idea that they have a base ranged att., then the venom boost only effects their adj. attacks. That way they can shoot as they move up, and shoot if the injection doesn't do much for them, but charge forward and punch someone when it does.

[IAmBatman]

I like the "Subjects" because it makes it clear they're being tested on rather than doing the testing themselves.

The venom injection is a preexisting power, so I don't think that suggestion works, YK.

[Yodaking]

Bane doesn't destroy a Bane Goon when you roll for his injection power, so doesn't that mean it's a new power?


*edit* I think I see why it's not now.

I could see allowing that very minor change that basically has the same effect (1 point of damage), but it’s not really my place to say.

Not too keen on the illegal in the title...maybe Unethical or Illicit?

What’s your reasoning?

Just seems less..scientific and more...explosive or money laundering or something else? I just don't feel it really colors the right picture. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.

I'm not really feeling the last power at all.the first two look good. Or even the previous venom power you had. Then for the third power give the. A ranged special attack so it doesn't get booster by venom.

Maybe something like gorilla man's Special

Totally disagree! I think the Illegal Research power is awesome. What's more thematic than Bane gathering a bunch of thugs and using them to perfect his Venom formula so that he can use it more effectively himself? It both boosts Bane and tells a story that's true to the comics, IMO.
