The Book of Scorpion (Mac Gargan)

[A3n]

Straight forward design for another figure I know nothing about.

[SirGalahad]

After the breathing period:

NAME = SCORPION
SECRET IDENTITY = MAC GARGAN
SPECIES = MUTATE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = PSYCOPATH
PERSONALITY = INSANE
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 5
MOVE = 7
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 6
POINTS = 190

TAIL WHIP
When attacking with Scorpion's normal attack, you may roll 1 fewer attack die and choose one other figure adjacent to the defending figure to be affected by this attack. Roll attack dice once for both affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately.

ACID TAIL BLAST SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 3.
If Scorpion inflicts one or more wounds with this special attack, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 15 or higher, the defending figure receives one additional wound.

TAIL SPRING
Instead of his normal move, Scorpion may use his Tail Spring. Tail Spring has a move of 3. When counting spaces for Scorpion's Tail Spring movement, ignore elevations. Scorpion may spring over water without stopping, spring over figures without becoming engaged, and spring over obstacles such as ruins. Scorpion may not spring more than 12 levels up or down in a single Tail Spring. When Scorpion moves with Tail Spring, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Nice!

Thinking about the acid blast, it would be cool if you could keep rolling the d20 (like Sujoah) to see if the acid keeps eating through whatever it hit.

[IAmBatman]

I like that idea, GP.

And I like the projected updates (I'm even, begrudgingly, OK with Psychopath).

[Good Pig]

I like Criminal better too. Poll time?

If Scorpion is a Criminal he certainly won't be the last one. I don't think there's any good reason to keep him out of the faction for power level or anything. It says all over Marvel wiki how he's a professional criminal too.

[tcglkn]

I prefer Criminal as well.

[IAmBatman]

That makes me #3 (just to verify - I'm still pro-Criminal).

[Good Pig]

As more of a general comment, I'd rather we did justice to the character for each design than change their class/personality out of boredom with a common class/personality that works.

[Griffin]

Can we go with Expert Climbing like on Dock Ock, instead of Tail Spring? I have seen this guy climb after Spider-Man much more often than I have seen him "spring" after him. Also, reusing an appropriate power is a good thing, especially on two figures that will likely be in the same army quite often.

[IAmBatman]

Tail Spring does feel too much like Stealth Leap ... I'd be in favor of Expert Climbing here as well.

Edit: I agree with GP that just going with Stealth Leap would be fine as well.

[Good Pig]

I'm fine with Expert Climbing or just using Stealth Leap.

[Griffin]

Either one is better, but my point remains, that this guy is notorious for climbing after Spidey on the buildings, where jumping is something he can do, it isn't really something that defines the character all that well.
