TERRORIZING TELEPORTATION or TELEPORTING TERROR
Instead of moving normally with Mysterio, you may either:
- Place Mysterio or an adjacent figure on any space within 4 spaces of Mysterio's current location; or
- Choose a figure within 4 clear sight spaces and switch it with Mysterio; or
- Choose a figure within 4 clear sight spaces and inflict a wound on any figure adjacent to it; or
- Choose a figure within 4 clear sight spaces that is either on a glyph or equipped with a glyph. Destroy the glyph and inflict a wound on the chosen figure.

I don't like the auto destruction of the equipped glyph. Some figures pay a lot in their cost for the glyphs they start out with - to be able to destroy them without so much as a D20 roll is overpowered in those match ups, IMO. I think the auto wound against the figures with those glyphs is plenty.

NAME = THE CROW

SECRET IDENTITY = Eric Draven

SPECIES = Undead
UNIQUENESS = Unique Hero
CLASS = Spirit
PERSONALITY = Vengeful

SIZE/HEIGHT = Medium 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 185?

SET THE WRONG THINGS RIGHT
The Crow does not start the game on the battlefield. Whenever one of your figures is destroyed by an opponent’s figure, you may immediately place The Crow in your starting zone, and place a Crow marker on the opponent’s figure. The Crow rolls one additional attack die against the figure with the Crow marker.

DOUBLE ATTACK
When The Crow attacks, he may attack one additional time.

INVINCIBLE FOR VENGEANCE
The Crow may not be destroyed by taking any number of wounds. At the beginning of every round, before placing Order Markers, you must roll the 20 sided die. If you roll a 1, or if the figure with the Crow marker on it is destroyed, remove all wound markers from this card and negate Immortal For Vengeance for the rest of the game. Subtract 1 from your roll for each wound marker on this card.

For Set the Wrong Things Right, I think "destroyed by an opponent's figure" is too open to translation due to powers like Knockback, tossing someone into lava, etc. To open for rules lawyers one way or another. I like how quozl locked it down in his proposed revision with "normal or special attack."

You might need to restrict that to Heroes.
I really like the design. Your opponent will have to be careful who they use to make the first kill.

Mysterio is looking fun. I have never heard of that version before, very cool and good use of theme.

Is the Crow, Indy?

Good idea, I didn't think about the squads. Crow will just wait until a hero makes the kill!

Yup, Indy. I'm pretty sure he's by Image, who also did Invincible.

LIVE ONLY FOR VENGEANCE
At the beginning of every round, before placing Order Markers, you must roll the 20 sided die. If you roll a 1, destroy The Crow. Subtract 1 from your roll for each figure on this card.

That could work, too. For Live only... If we went with something like that, I would give him a life of 0 and say that he can only be destroyed by Live Only... I think I like the theme on my version a bit better, but this is clearer and simpler.

I agree LP. I prefer the theme of your design but Quozl's is better mechanically.
I am trying to decide how many figures I would want in a Crow army. In LPs, I think I would want 2 or 3 heavy hitters making it hopefully force my opponent to use a fairly strong figure to make the first kill and then use Crow to kill everyone else in their army.
For Quozl's it is harder to decide. I think I would want to get a +3 bonus but that would be it. 3 destroyed figures equals 4 attacks with +3 Attack dice, only die on a D20 roll of 4 or less.
However executing that would be more difficult as your opponent can kill The Crow first.
I prefer how in LP's version he only appears after someone is destroyed.

[Yodaking]

I'm not clear on this and would like some clarification. As an ally can I start posting design ideas I have for figures in this thread?

[quozl]

Yes, and be sure to have a mod link to your post that you'll use for linking all your designs.

[Yodaking]

Awesome, I didn't think I was cleared yet for design work! How do I determine what figures are available to design? I don't want to work on something already finished and waiting to be released.

My advice: don't worry about it.

If you design something awesome enough, nobody will care if there's another design already done for it. We'll want your design too!

[Yodaking]

Sounds good. I'll use this post for my designs then.

Loving the look of those designs LP! I do like the thematic-ness of your Crow, but there might be issues with the mechanics, so Quozl's would work better I think.

Can't wait to see what you have, Yodaking.


So I've been reading a ton of X-Factor (the third team, Investigations) lately and would love to fill out the team. M, Rictor and Layla don't have figures as far as I can tell, and I already have a Siryn design up, which leaves us with Wolfsbane:

NAME = WOLFSBANE
SECRET IDENTITY = RAHNE SINCLAIR

SPECIES = MUTANT
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = HUNTER? INVESTIGATOR?
PERSONALITY = CONFLICTED
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 4


LIFE = 5
MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 4
POINTS = 140

DEVASTATING POUNCE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 6.
Choose a non-adjacent figure within 4 clear sight spaces whose base is not higher or lower than 6 levels from the base of Wolfsbane. Before attacking, place Wolfsbane adjacent to the chosen figure. If the chosen figure is destroyed with this special attack, immediately place Wolfsbane on the space previously occupied by the chosen figure. If the figure is not destroyed, place one Wound Marker on this card. When Wolfsbane is moved by this special attack, she will take any leaving engagement attacks.

BLOOD TRACKING
Wolfsbane may add 2 to her move this turn if she ends her turn adjacent to a hero with one or more wound markers on its card.

I feel like she should have a third power, but I'm not coming up with much. Maybe playing on both her religious upbringing and her feral nature:

CONFLICTING NATURES
After attacking with Wolfsbane's normal attack, you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a

• 1-4, Wolfsbane's turn ends and she receives 1 wound.
• 5-14, nothing happens.
• 15 or higher, Wolfsbane must attack again.

Any suggestions?

[Lord Pyre]

I like the look of that. Your second power says "he," by the way, when the picture clearly shows a female.

I think the two powers are fine. I like your Blood Tracking power. Does she have any sort of healing factor? I don't know much about her, but for some reason I'm thinking she can heal.

[TrollBrute]

He? I don't see a he.

Just standard superhero regenerative capabilities as far as I know. She's supposed to pretty tough, so maybe a defense or life bump is in order though.
