Re: Public Design Workshop

Andrew Forson is the modern Scientist Supreme/Leader of A.I.M. His whole deal was taking steps to "legitimize" A.I.M. They buy an island, become an officially recognized nation, and even join the UN. He's pretty insistent on the whole "We're a new A.I.M. that's totally not evil anymore" bit and to a certain extent I think he buys his own hype, but they're still pretty blatantly doing shady science stuff and clashing with the Avengers every 5 minutes. The powers below the line are the ones I'm pretty sold on. Environmental Suit feels like a must, and Power Gloves feels like a simple way to give him some combat capability without defining him. The other powers though, I'm way less sold on. I think we could pick one or two of these just based on whatever we think is coolest. A rundown; A.I.M. Messenger In one story, Forson puts a device on Smasher (Isabel Kane), putting her under A.I.M.'s control and designating her as the "Messenger." Doesn't last more than a brief arc, but it seems like a fun idea for a simple high science power. I'd probably do this in addition to some sort of lighter A.I.M. synergy power, like letting you take a turn with the Agents after Forson or the Messenger. A.I.M. Empire Forson expands the group into what he calls the A.I.M. Empire, recruiting several "Ministers" to work under him. In-story, that's Graviton, Entropic Man, Mentallo, Superia, Taskmaster, and Yelena Belova. My two main concerns with this power would be (1) choosing what classes to use and (2) giving Graviton bonding partners. But still, seems like it could be worth a try. Ways of the Future In one arc, an A.I.M. from the future starts sending back data to the present-day group, leading them to make massive leaps in technology. The beekeepers basically turned into Iron Men. Not sure if Power Gloves would feel clunky when thrown on a common squad. Sovereign Status Representing that idea that they're a sovereign nation now, and the Avengers/whoever have to think twice before attacking them or risk the bad press. I almost could see doing this more like Penguin II's influence power. In the story, Forson gets ousted when Sunspot just straight-up buys A.I.M. out from under him, so the character being susceptible to being outspent would be funny and thematic. But Forson himself isn't really a money bags type character like our previous Influence Markers characters, so I don't know if it would feel right unless we could reskin those markers. Anyways, sorry for the longer post, just one of those things where I had a big barrel of ideas. I'm also really tired of typing A.I.M now. |

Re: Public Design Workshop
Heh, nice. Lots to take in. I think I would avoid Graviton bonding as it will drive his points up tremendously and be the main focus.
I really like Ways of the Future. Upgrading your guys as time goes on feels super fun. I would almost consider locking it into certain rounds and dropping the marker mechanic. First upgrade Round 2, next Round 4, last Round 6. Or something like that. |

Re: Public Design Workshop
The important question here is does he go by Andy and thus will I have to fight him?

I think he prefers to be called Dr. Andrew Forson, so you may be good. I know not the complex rules of the eternal tournament of Andy though. |

—- Anyway, on the actual design: I like the AIM Empire power best of the current options personally. Not really feeling the Messenger or Soveriegn powers too much. I like the idea of Ways of the Future, but I think it would be best simplified a bit so it could fit on the card with AIM Empire. Like after a certain number of rounds, he and all Ambitious Terrorists get a boost of some type. If it effects him you could also ditch Power Gloves, since you kinda ‘need’ the beekeeper suit power there (and you definitely don’t have the space for both Power Gloves and Beekeepr Suit alongside any other power of any length) My Repaints and Mods: Updated 1-13 My Custom Cards: Updated 4-15 My Custom Superheroes: Updated 1-13 My figure images for online games: Alliance figures, Utgar figures My Etsy Store |

I do feel like we're losing a bit of theme not having a "A.I.M. is a changed organization, things are different now" power on there, but it's more one of those things he's constantly monologuing about instead of an actual story beat. Like there's an issue where they show up to a big weapons convention, and when the S.H.I.E.L.D. crew get upset, he gives his big "No, we're allowed to be here and there's nothing you can do about it" speech. But then the S.H.I.E.L.D. team immediately beat him up anyways, and suffer absolutely no real consequences for it. I do see how Graviton bonding is gonna be a cost driver here, but honestly, if his cost gets driven up cause he's working with a thematic partner, that's okay by me. As long as it's not broken or unfun. I do worry about him invalidating Monica a bit, but you can bring her along for the ride too, and I think she has her own niche in bringing in Clones/MODOK. |

Re: Public Design Workshop
Well Monica's 160 points and this guy's looking more like 280 points, so I think they'll be in different niches.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.
