_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Malice is an evil psionic entity that resides in the mind of the Invisible Woman and sometimes possesses her. Malice retained the powers of the Invisible Woman, but she used them more aggressively, creating explosions and deadly force field spikes. Malice was able to use her powers to withstand a direct punch from She-Hulk without even flinching, without She-Hulk realizing that she had just struck a force field.

BUBBLE SUFFOCATION
Start the game with two white Bubble Markers on this card. Before attacking, you may choose a figure within 4 clear sight spaces. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 9 or higher, and the figure is not a Unique Hero, it receives a wound. If you roll 6 or higher, and the figure is a Unique Hero, place a Bubble Marker from this card onto its card. After revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card, you may roll an unblockable attack die, one at a time, against any figures other than Malice with one of your Bubble Markers on their cards. Whenever Malice receives one or more wounds, return all your Bubble Markers in play to this card. If a figure with one of your Bubble Markers on its card is destroyed, return that Bubble Marker to this card.

FORCE FIELD DAGGERS SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 6. Attack 3.
Malice can only use this special attack if there is at least 1 Bubble Marker on this card. After rolling attack dice, you may immediately remove 1 Bubble Marker from this card and add 2 automatic skulls to whatever is rolled. Bubble Markers removed from this card using this power are returned to this card at the end of the round.

PERSONAL FORCE FIELD
When defending with Malice, if there is at least 1 Bubble Marker on this card, one shield will block all damage.

I haven't come up with a suitable class yet.

Invisible Woman has 5 life, so I think the same is appropriate here.

Otherwise looks like an interesting design!

agreed.

BUBBLE SUFFOCATION
Start the game with four white Bubble Markers on this card. After moving, before attacking, you may choose a figure within 4 clear sight spaces of Malice and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 6 or higher, place a Bubble Marker from this card on the chosen figure’s Army Card. After each time you reveal a numbered Order Marker on this card, you may roll an unblockable attack die, one at a time, against each figure other than Malice with a Bubble Marker on its card. Immediately after Malice receives one or more wounds, any figures with Bubble Markers on their cards may remove them.

Is it your intent that basically once the markers are removed, they are gone from the game? Seems to me like they should return to the card, since the only limit on this powers should be how many bubbles she can focus on at one time (4), not many she can make in her life time.

Maybe something like that.

Cool design A3n

I like the direction Hahma is going there and then you can remove the markers from the game with the Special Attack so she can only boost it a total of 4 times during the game.

Cool design A3n, don't forget to link my pictures here from the brainstorming thread.

I think if we go that route then we should drop the number of markers. Maybe 2.

[tcglkn]

I don't think so. Malice should be pretty powerful as she was able to take on the other members of the Fantastic Four. I'm not saying she should be that powerful point wise, but I could see her coming in around 300 points thematically.

With 2 markers she could possibly attacking 3 figures per turn & 2 of those unblockable. That to me is powerful. With 4 markers that's up to 5 figures attacked per turn & 4 unblockable.
