SUPER STRENGTH

[IAmBatman]

I like it! Only thing I'm iffy on is the first power title.

Any thought of something like "ROCK AND ROLL LIFESTYLE"?

[Yodaking]

What are the other Brawler options after Rocksteady?

[quozl]

I believe the only other Brawler is Lobo, who seems exactly like the kind of guy Bebop and Rocksteady would hang out with.

[Yodaking]

Yeah, all I'm seeing is Lobo. I was thinking Strong Guy, but he's a Bruiser. Lobo is 330, Rocksteady is 290, Beebop shouldn't be 380, so you'll need something to go with them to make a 1000 point army. Maybe shoot for 310 so the three of them total 930, then they can take on the TMNT & Splinter.

[Scapemage]

Still fun here. Shoddy Gun is a funny power that fits pretty well. I'm okay with Lobo bonding, he isn't used much at all and definitely feels like a similar character.

[Ronin]

I almost suggested moving them over to Minion, because I like that class for henchmen types, but it might be better to keep them in something relatively contained that we're not looking to expand, to maximize the relevance of Rocksteady as a bonding partner.

[IAmBatman]

I like them as Brawlers and like that set of three with Lobo a lot.

I'd guestimate BeBop at 270 points right now, which gives you those three and Oracle at 1,000.

It's a line from a Bebop and Rocksteady song. It goes:

This beast is running Hellbent!
This power breaks the cement!
This fist brings pain and torment!
We will destroy everything!

[Margloth]

“Hellbent” might be more succinct... although perhaps a little too extreme for what are essentially comic relief characters.

[quozl]

Yeah, of course the joke is that they think they are such awesome bad dudes and then they screw everything up.

Maybe just add "We will" to Destroy Everything?
