The Book of Wildfire
The Book of Wildfire C3G DC SUPER SECRET EXCLUSIVE 38 _________________________________________________________________HEROES OF THE 31ST CENTURY Comic PDF Mini PDF The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Superman set. Its model number and name are #039 / Wildfire. Character Bio - While studying at the Metropolis University research center, Drake Burroughs was caught in a laboratory explosion that completely destroyed his body. For reasons unknown, his consciousness survived, and the atoms of his body reconstituted themselves as pure antimatter. A scientist named Professor Vultan created a specially designed suit to contain Drake's energy form. The suit enabled Drake the ability to function in a relatively normal existence, and it also provided him the ability to channel a wide variety of new energy-based powers through the suit. Calling himself ERG-1, Drake applied for membership in the Legion of Super-Heroes. Unfortunately, the Legion maintained a policy which forbad inclusion of members whose powers duplicated those of other members. ERG-1's power-set included abilities shared by others such as Superboy, Colossal Boy and Shrinking Violet. As such, his application for membership was rejected. Drake had not demonstrated his energy blasting or manipulation abilities because he was afraid he could not control them safely. Anxious to prove his abilities, he followed several Legionnaires on a mission to a planet called Manna-5. On this mission, Colossal Boy was knocked unconscious by an enemy machine and none of the other Legionnaires present had the power to save him. ERG-1 destroyed the machine, but expelled his entire energy form from his containment suit. Because his energy form was invisible, the Legionnaires assumed he had been killed in saving Colossal Boy and that ERG-1 had not demonstrated his energy powers earlier because they could only be used once. However, ERG-1 was alive. By now, his energy form was stable enough so that he could survive without his suit, though he could neither take humanoid form nor communicate with anyone. He followed the Legionnaires back to Earth where they put his containment suit on display. Upon reaching the Legionnaries' headquarters he managed to regain the suit and, in the usual heroic fashion, save the Legion from another menace. He was then admitted to the team and adopted the name Wildfire. Drake's original containment suit was eventually destroyed and subsequent copies were not as versatile. His later suits were also not nearly as durable and it was easier to cause him to be expelled from it. Even so, he always retained his flight, energy absorption, energy projection, and super strength, and was commonly considered among the four most powerful Legionnaires along with Superboy, Mon-El and Ultra Boy. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: The Book of Wildfire - Design Phase
NAME = WILDFIRE
SECRET IDENTITY = DRAKE BURROUGHS SPECIES = METAHUMAN UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = LEGIONNAIRE PERSONALITY = DETERMINED SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 6 MOVE = 8 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 6 DEFENSE = 7 POINTS = 280 WILDFIRE BLAST SPECIAL ATTACK Range 5. Attack 5 + Special. Choose an opponent's figure within 5 clear sight spaces of Wildfire as the target figure. Choose all figures on the spaces of a shortest path from Wildfire to the target figure. Roll 5 attack dice against the target figure and 3 attack dice once against all other chosen figures. All affected figures roll defense dice separately. Figures with the Lava Resistant special power are not affected by this special attack. CONTAINMENT SUIT BREACH At the start of each round before placing Order Markers, if there is at least one Wound Marker on this card, roll the 20-sided die, subtracting the number of wounds from the roll.

Re: The Book of Wildfire - Design Phase
Not sure about leaving him as a metahuman or not. He could easily be Entity or Energy.
I couldn't think of another power for him so just leaving it at 1 power, however that does make feel like he is a little hollow for all the powers he actually has.

Re: The Book of Wildfire - Design Phase
We could give him a containment suit leak sort of power? Or Hypersonic Flying off of Nova since he can break lightspeed. Or Invulnerability. There's a few basic secondary powers.
But most of his stuff is pretty basic "I am space energy power dude" so, yeah, I'm fine if you want to stick with the basics. I feel like we can find a better name for the special attack though considering how interestingly it works... Also, he should definitely be Energy if he no longer has a physical form. Same as Living Laser. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The Book of Wildfire - Design Phase
I like the idea of adding Hypersonic Flying:

Re: The Book of Wildfire - Design Phase
I like the idea of a weakness on him like the Containment Suit. Yipes, is this guy really this tough? The LEGIONNAIRES are really tough as a faction already, and this guy is quite the beat stick to add to them!
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Wildfire - Design Phase
If one power captures the theme of the character, another power is not needed.
A3n suggests that the essence is not captured, so I like the re-use of the Containment Suit. Energy entities are always interesting due to the fast that they can be very unstable. Like Superheroes and Comics?

Re: The Book of Wildfire - Design Phase
Where is this containment suit power?
His containment suit is basically to keep him together as a humanoid shape. It really doesn't weaken him when it leaks. Sorry Bats, yes he is this powerful. The Legionnaires as a whole are a powerful force. Although they all have "boy" & "girl" in their name they are on a whole new level to the Teen Titans, they recruit the strongest super heroes around in the 31st Century. Remember Super Boy was rejected his first attempt to join. Also Wildfire has actually battled Superboy and came out on par.

But if his body isn't unstable, it obviously isn't a good fit. Last edited by A3n; December 10th, 2013 at 10:51 PM. |

Maybe Spidey needs to weigh in here on whether the lack of containment suit weakens him. I remember that it was needed when his body first changed for to energy but I believe that he gained more control later & could control his own shape without the suit but just couldn't be too close to others without it due to his extreme heat.

Re: The Book of Wildfire - Design Phase
If the weakness isn't thematic, no worries.
I'm not seeing "on par" with Superboy here, though. He looks easily superior .... C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.
