The Book of Captain Marvel (Mary Batson)

[IAmBatman]

OK, we're at a bit of a tough spot trying to figure out where we want to go with the wording of the Shared Power power as well as if we like her at 320 or if we're willing to tweak any of the powers to make them slightly more useful and are OK with her being 330 or more as a result. I'm OK with there being more testing here in the case that we do want to make any changes.

[quozl]

I'm on the 330 & tweak side of the fence.

[A3n]

I'm with the 320 & get that damned shared power worded correctly. Can't we just go back & change Marvel's Captain Mar-vel's name???

[quozl]

We can't, A3n, because Marvel has other Captain Marvels, not just Mar-Vell.

I'd prefer if we changed the DC Marvel to Shazam, since that's actually his name now.

I'm find including the cross-universal weirdness, personally, and am pretty happy with where we're at... not against tweaking but she seemed usable in the playtests.

[Lord Pyre]

We could say any human Captain Marvels'. That should cover all of the Marvel ones, since they'd either be some sort of alien or a mutate.

I agree.


This is what happens when comics have too many characters with the same name, and let's not forget that there's another Captain Marvel from Marvel




We have synergies all the time with units from both Marvel and DC working hand in hand. Perhaps they aren't named specifically, but I don't see much difference in the Marvel squad and Vigilantes, Criminals, Lawmen etc. working together in the same army.

That works for me . Where were you 10 pages back?

[Lord Pyre]

I'd personally rather do Monica as Photon that Captain Marvel. Plus she'd be a mutant, so if we go the human only route, that's fine regardless.

I'm usually fine with weird synergies, like Punisher and Robin or whatever, but considering this is magic used specifically by the Marvel family, it's really thematically weird if others could use it, too.

Monica and Carol are the only two non-Kree Captain marvels I can think of. Would both of them also not be Human?

Monica is definitely a mutate. Carol, are you referring to Ms. Marvel? She's already a mutate in her Ms. Marvel form, and a costume and name change wouldn't change that.

[quozl]

Yes, Ms. Marvel is now Captain Marvel.

Looks like human would work then!
