_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio -Thaddeus Ross is a General in the Air Force and was in charge of Bruce Banner's Gamma Bomb project. After Bruce Banner was exposed to gamma radiation, he would become a raging monster known as the Hulk whenever he became too mad. General Ross, believing the Hulk to be a menace to society made it his number one priority to capture or kill the Hulk. His obsession with chasing the Hulk eventually led to him committing treason by allying himself with The Leader, MODOK and Abomination to help him destroy the Hulk. He was relieved of his duties by the Air Force and eventually during a period of depression he interrupted his daughter's wedding to Bruce Banner and ended up shooting Rick Jones. Afterward, Ross's old friend Clay Quartermain from S.H.I.E.L.D. recruited him for an experiment in which he was merged with the creature known as Zzzax, where he gained super powers, but was also left mentally unstable. He was eventually returned to normal, but still had some residual energy-generating powers.

Later, after believing that his daughter Betty was dead, Ross and Doc Sampson are believed to have made a deal with A.I.M and Intelligencia to create Red Hulk in return for the criminal agencies reviving his Betty Ross from her apparent death. AIM had created a Life Model Decoy of Ross to help hide Red Hulk's true identity but the truth was eventually discovered and Red Hulk is imprisoned in the Gamma Base. Bruce Banner makes arrangements with Captain Steve Rogers to have Red Hulk join the Avengers where he aids the Avengers in defeating The Hood, who had acquired the very powerful Infinity Gems.

Cool design.

The last sentence in Overheated doesn't make sense. Maybe this was left over from another write up?

Thanks GP! I don't know the character other than what I researched, so I did what I could.

Basically it means that if somehow he can be healed to remove wounds, he'd be able to remove 1 red Heat Marker if 2 or more wound markers removed from his card. Kind of like he'd be calming down. It should perhaps say something like:

OVERHEATED
At the end of an opponent’s turn, place a red Heat Marker on this card if Red Hulk received two or more wounds that turn. Red Hulk rolls 1 fewer attack die for each Red Heat Marker on this card. If two or more Wound Markers are removed from this card during a turn, you may remove a one red Heat Marker from this card as well at the end of that turn.


Perhaps this might look better as well:

RELEASING THE HEAT
Any All figures adjacent to Red Hulk is are affected by Releasing The Heat. At the end of each round, for each Red Heat Marker on this card, you must roll one unblockable attack die against each affected figure.

Also, I wonder if I should change his class from General to Creature since he's not in General form as Rulk.

[Griffin]

- how many heat markers can be placed on his card? we need a cap like with the samurai.

- how can he lose Wound Markers?

- we need some Lava Resistance immunity in there for figures like Human Torch.

[Good Pig]

I like Creature better than General and agree with that logic. He's not commanding troops when he's in Hulked out form.

I think to reference a situation like healing that isn't a part of his power set is too confusing. I'd drop that bit. How about instead you remove a Heat Marker after he Releases The Heat?

RELEASING THE HEAT
All figures adjacent to Red Hulk is are affected by Releasing The Heat. At the end of each round, remove all Heat Markers from this card. For each Heat Marker removed from this card, you must roll one unblockable attack die against each figure adjacent to Red Hulk. Figures with the Lava Resistance special power are not affected by Releasing The Heat.

I prefer Creature as a class as well.

Something like this might work better for RELEASING THE HEAT:

Well if he gets a Heat Marker after receiving 2 or more wounds during a turn and he has 8 lives, he should be able to have 3 Heat Markers placed on his card before he dies since a fourth marker would mean he would have had to have taken at least 8 wounds and died. I guess just in case of some weird circumstances that may come up do you think we should say at the end of Overheated saying, "A maximum of 3 red Heat Markers can be placed on this card." (which is from the Tagawa's card) Though he'd have to have taken his eighth wound to get a 4th marker.

Well currently, Zatanna can remove wound markers with Alter States. There may be other powers down the road that can allow for removal of Wound Markers.

Good call with the Lava Resistance. I totally forgot that one.

Thanks GP

So does this look better for the first two powers?

OVERHEATED
At the end of an opponent’s turn, place a red Heat Marker on this card if Red Hulk received two or more wounds that turn. Red Hulk rolls 1 fewer attack die for each Red Heat Marker on this card. A maximum of 3 red Heat Markers can be placed on this card.

Maybe this to include Lava Resistance figures not being affected?

I do like him only removing one at the end of the round instead of all of them.

I would have to add the "at the same time" to Overheated otherwise it might look like that once you had placed 3 markers on the card, that you couldn't put any more back on after removing one at the end of the round.

I did forget the Lava Resistance immunity there. Looks good to me Hahma.

He's not going to get to add many more markers after he uses it once so having them all be removed would be kinda lame IMO.

[Hahma]

Well I originally wasn't going to have any of them be removed so he can just be an overheated badass that no one wanted to be engaged with, but we'll see how removing one at the end of the round works or if it isn't worth it.
