Originally I was simply going to make this a Rebirth workshop but I thought there are a LOT of potential fun designs to be had with the New 52 too.
I'll probably focus on getting my ideas for rules down and worrying about minis after (some of the more recent characters I had ideas for won't have anything to use)
I guess the standard format for this is to edit new design ideas into the OP, so I will be adding those as they come. Any ideas are appreciated and I've already thought of a bunch of things that merit being worked on, and I'll start some write-ups in a little bit.
Working on:
-Psycho-Pirate/Medusa Mask
Spoiler Alert!
NAME = Psycho-Pirate SECRET IDENTITY = Roger Hayden
SPECIES = Human
UNIQUENESS = Unique Hero
CLASS = I'm honestly not sure on this one. Ideas appreciated.
PERSONALITY = Insane
SIZE/HEIGHT = Medium 5
LIFE = 3/4?
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 2
DEFENSE = 2
POINTS = ???
THE MEDUSA MASK
Start the game with the Glyph of Medusa Mask on this card. Psycho-Pirate cannot lose the Glyph of Medusa Mask by receiving wounds unless he is destroyed. Whenever Psycho-Pirate uses the Glyph Of Medusa Mask, add 5 to the 20-sided die roll.
MANIPULABLE MANIPULATOR
At the start of the game, choose a Destroyer Unique or Event Hero you control to be Psycho-Pirate's Master. After taking a turn with Psycho-Pirate's Master, you may take an immediate turn with Psycho-Pirate, and you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control except by Memories Of Another Multiverse.
MEMORIES OF ANOTHER MULTIVERSE
At the start of the game, you may choose any other Unique Heroes you control that would begin the game on the battlefield and instead place them on this card. You may draft multiple figures with the same Secret Identity if they begin the game on this card. After taking a turn with Psycho-Pirate, if Psycho-Pirate did not use the Glyph of Medusa Mask this turn, you may remove one of the chosen figures from this card and place it on any unoccupied space within 2 clear sight spaces of Psycho-Pirate. Take an immediate turn with that figure, during which it cannot move, and you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control.
Psycho-Pirate is the figure I am least certain of right now. I'm thinking of just scrapping the bonding power and replacing it with a defensive power related to his shapeshifting/reality altering ability that I forgot he exhibited to make him less squishy, and maybe throwing the summoning power out the window too.
Spoiler Alert!
MEDUSA MASK
(EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION)
EQUIPMENT GLYPH
When this glyph comes into play, place one red Anger Marker, one pink Love Marker, and one yellow Fear Marker on this card. Instead of attacking with this figure, you may choose a figure within 4 clear sight spaces and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 11 or higher, place one of the markers on this card on the Army Card of the chosen figure. At the end of the round, or whenever another marker from this card is placed on the chosen figure's card, return the marker from the chosen figure's card to this card. A figure with the Anger Marker on its card adds one to its attack, subtracts two from its defense, and cannot leave engagements. When you place the Love Marker on a figure's card, choose one other figure within 4 clear sight spaces to be that figure's Desire. A figure with the Love Marker on its card cannot attack its Desire. A figure with the Fear Marker on its card adds one to its defense, subtracts two from its attack, and cannot roll for leaving engagement attacks.
I'm pretty happy with the Medusa Mask as is if everyone else is too
-Green Lantern (Simon Baz)
Spoiler Alert!
NAME= GREEN LANTERN SECRET IDENTITY= SIMON BAZ

PERSONALITY= STUBBORN
SIZE/HEIGHT= MEDIUM 5
LIFE= 4
MOVE= 5
RANGE= 4
ATTACK= 2
DEFENSE= 2
290 POINTS
GREEN POWER BATTERY 4
Start the game with 4 green Battery Markers on this card. Add one to this Green Lantern's Move, Range, Attack, and Defense numbers for each green Battery Marker on this card.
AL SHAJAAH
After moving and before attacking with this Green Lantern, you may choose an adjacent figure and remove a Battery Marker from this card. You may remove any marker on that figure’s Army Card, or two markers if they are both Wound Markers.
EMERALD SIGHT 14
Anytime this Green Lantern or a figure you control within 3 clear sight spaces is attacked by an opponent's figure and at least 1 skull is rolled, before rolling defense dice normally, if there is at least one green Battery Marker on this card, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 1-13, remove one green Battery Marker from this card. If you roll a 14 or higher, ignore that attack.
SUPER STRENGTH
FLYING
This one's been pretty hashed out, I'm happy with where we stand on this one now if no-one else has any objections.
-Godspeed/Speed Force Clone
Spoiler Alert!
NAME = GODSPEED SECRET IDENTITY = AUGUST HEART
SPECIES = METAHUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = PSYCHOPATH
PERSONALITY = DRIVEN
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5
LIFE = 6
MOVE = 12
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 4
POINTS = ???
SUPERSPEED
Godspeed may move through all figures, never takes leaving engagement attacks, and does not have to stop his movement when entering water spaces. After taking a turn with Godspeed, if he is the only August Heart on the board this turn, he may move up to an additional 4 spaces
SPEED FORCE CLONE
If there are any other August Heart figures on the battlefield, reduce Godspeed's attack by 1 and his movement by 3.
SPEED DODGE 4
When Godspeed defends against an attack and you roll at least one blank, Godspeed takes no damage and may immediately move up to 4 spaces.
Spoiler Alert!
NAME = SPEED FORCE CLONE
SECRET IDENTITY = AUGUST HEART
SPECIES = SPEED FORCE CONSTRUCT
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = PSYCHOPATH
PERSONALITY = DRIVEN
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5
LIFE = 4
MOVE = 9
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4
POINTS = ???
SUPERSPEED
Speed Force Clone may move through all figures, never takes leaving engagement attacks, and does not have to stop his movement when entering water spaces.
DIVIDED SPEED FORCE
This figure may not start the game on the battlefield. This figure may not be placed on the battlefield if there is no other August Heart figure on the battlefield. This figure may be placed on the battlefield even if it has been destroyed. When this figure is placed on the battlefield, remove all wound markers on this card. At the end of each round, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll an 8 or lower, all August Heart figures on the battlefield take one wound.
CO-ORDINATED ASSAULT
After revealing an Order Marker on the Army Card of a Godspeed you control and taking a turn with that figure, you may take an immediate turn with Speed Force Clone, and you may not take any additional turns with other figures you control. If this figure attacks a figure engaged with Godspeed, add 1 to its attack.
Thanks to Ronin for getting this one sorted out with phrasing. Unless anyone has any further thoughts on Godspeed I'm pretty happy with where he's at.
-Deathstroke (Rebirth version)
Spoiler Alert!
NAME = DEATHSTROKE SECRET IDENTITY = SLADE WILSON
SPECIES = METAHUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = MERCENARY
PERSONALITY = CONFLICTED
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5
LIFE = 5
MOVE = 6
RANGE = 5
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4
POINTS = ???
DEFIANCE LEADER
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, before taking a turn with Deathstroke, you may first reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card and take a turn with up to two other Unique Sidekick Heroes with the Conflicted personality you control within 6 clear sight spaces of Deathstroke. You may activate the chosen Heroes in any order.
IKON SUIT
When Deathstroke would receive one or more wounds, you may place up to 2 IKON Markers on this card. For each IKON Marker placed, ignore one wound. Deathstroke may never have more than four IKON Markers on this card.
KINETIC DISPERSION SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1 Attack 2+
When using this special attack, you may may remove any number of IKON Markers to add one attack die per IKON Marker removed to this attack. If six dice are rolled for this special attack, treat this special attack as if Deathstroke had Super Strength and the defending figure rolls two fewer defence dice. After using this special attack, you may not use Kinetic Dispersion Special Attack or place IKON Markers until the end of the next round.
Pretty happy with this one thanks to Bats and Nobody's nerf suggestions. Need Japes to look at it though since I know he has existing plans for this one.
-Bizarro (RHATO Edition)
Spoiler Alert!
NAME = BIZARRO SECRET IDENTITY = B-0
SPECIES = CLONE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = INTERLOPER
PERSONALITY = LOYAL
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 6
LIFE = 8
MOVE = 10
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 7
DEFENSE = 7
POINTS = ???
KRYPTONIAN DNA
Bizarro has the species of Kryptonian in addition to the species listed on this card. When Bizarro rolls defense dice against a normal attack from a figure that is not a Kryptonian, if at least one shield is rolled, all blanks rolled count as extra shields.
INTERLOPER GUARDIAN
If an opponent's figure within five clear sight spaces of Bizarro targets an Interloper you control for a normal attack, you may immediately move Bizarro adjacent to the attacking figure, if possible, and the attacking figure cannot attack any Interloper other than Bizarro this turn.
ME AM NOT SO SMART
If Bizarro does not start his turn within 5 spaces of an Interloper you control, roll the 20-sided die. On a 1-5, Bizarro must move adjacent to or as close to an Interloper as possible, and may not attack this turn.
SUPER STRENGTH
FLYING
This one's a simpler design to work with Red Hood and the Outlaws (Interlopers). I don't know if this one will need any real tweaking unless anyone has any better ideas to volunteer.
-Artemis (RHATO)
Spoiler Alert!
NAME = ARTEMIS
SPECIES = AMAZON
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = INTERLOPER
PERSONALITY = FIERCE
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5
LIFE = ?
MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 6
POINTS = ???
TO ME, MISTRESS!
Start the game with one Mistress Marker. Once per round, before taking a turn with Artemis, you may either place the Mistress Marker on this card or remove the Mistress Marker from this card. While this card has a Mistress Marker on it, add 2 dice to Artemis' attack and subtract 2 dice from Artemis' defense and subtract 2 from Artemis' movement.
AXE THROW SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 7 Attack 5
Once per round, you may remove the Mistress Marker from this card to use Axe Throw special attack. Artemis may target any figure with this attack, even if she is engaged.
WARRIOR OF BANA-MIGHDALL
If this card does not have a Mistress Marker on it, whenever Artemis rolls a skull against a figure leaving engagement with her, that figure may not leave the engagement with Wonder Woman this turn. If this card has a Mistress Marker on it, Artemis rolls two unblockable attack dice against figures leaving engagement with her.
SUPER STRENGTH
Completely happy with Artemis if everyone is.

REBEL ARCHER SIDEKICK
After revealing an Order Marker on the Army Card of an Archer you control, you must immediately roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 6 or lower, before taking a turn with that Archer, you must take an immediate turn with Red Arrow. If you roll 7 or higher, after taking a turn with that Archer, you may take an immediate turn with Red Arrow. Red Arrow cannot take a turn if any figures other than that Archer attacked this turn, and if Red Arrow takes a turn with this special power, you may not attack or take any additional turns with other figures you control other than that Archer.
SHOWBOATING
If you revealed an Order Marker on this card, Red Arrow does not need line of sight to attack non-adjacent figures, and after attacking with Red Arrow, you may attack one additional time.
URBAN CAMOUFLAGE
For each defense die Red Arrow receives from height advantage or occupying a Shadow Tile when defending against a non-adjacent attack, Red Arrow receives one additional defense die.
Thanks to johnny for this one. Again assuming no-one has any problems with this design I'm happy with it.
-Starfire (Interloper/RHATO)
Spoiler Alert!
NAME = STARFIRE

STARBOLT INCINERATION SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 3 Attack 3
Choose a figure to attack. Any figures adjacent to the chosen figure are also affected by this special attack. Starfire only needs a clear sight shot at the chosen figure. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. For each skull rolled, you may roll another dice until no skulls are rolled. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Starfire cannot be affected by this special attack.
RECKLESS ENGAGEMENT
If Starfire is not adjacent to any friendly figures and is engaged with at least one enemy figure, add 1 die to her normal attack and subtract 1 die from her defense.

WHITE LIFE BATTERY 2
Start the game 2 white Life Battery Markers on this card and 1 Mimic Battery Marker. Add 2 to this White Lantern's Move, Range, Attack, and Defense numbers for each white Battery Marker on this card.
UNDISTILLED EMOTIONAL SPECTRUM
At the start of each round, select one figure on the battlefield with a special power containing the words "Battery Marker". Roll the 20-sided die. Add 5 to the roll for each white Life Battery Marker on this card. On a 16 or above, for the remainder of the round, treat this White Lantern as if it had that card's special powers, replacing that figure's name with "White Lantern". Then place the Mimicry Battery Marker on this card. Treat it as if it were the Battery Marker on the chosen figure's card until the end of the round.
THE WHITE LIGHT OF LIFE
When a figure you control would be destroyed, you may remove 1 white Life Battery Marker from this card. That figure is not destroyed, and you may remove wound markers from its card until it has 3 or less life remaining. You may use this special power on White Lantern when White Lantern is destroyed.

VIGILANTE TEAM-UP
After revealing an Order Marker on any other Vigilante card you control and taking a turn with that Vigilante, you may take an immediate turn with The Signal. During this turn, The Signal can only attack figures engaged with that Vigilante and adds 1 additional attack die against an adjacent figure. After using this special power, you may not take a turn with any other figures.
COMBAT PRECOGNITION

HYBRID DNA
Superboy has the species of Kryptonian in addition to the species listed on this card. When rolling defense against an attack from a figure that is not a Kryptonian, you may count one blank rolled as an extra shield. Before taking a turn with Superboy, you must roll a 20-sided die.
If you roll a 3-6, you may not use any special abilities on this card this turn.
If you roll a 2 or lower, you must immediately attack with Superboy’s Unstable Heat Vision Special Attack and then you may not use any special abilities on this card for the remainder of the round.
Super Team-Ups
After revealing an Order Marker a Kryptonian or Sidekick card you control and taking a turn with that Kryptonian or Sidekick, if Superboy is within 6 clear sight spaces of that figure, you may take an immediate turn with Superboy.

EIGHT TRIGRAMS
Start the game with 8 white Trigram Markers on this card. Whenever Super-Man or a friendly figure within clear sight of Super-Man receives one or more wounds, remove a Trigram Marker from this card. Instead of moving or instead of attacking with Super-Man, you may place a Trigram Marker on this card, to a maximum of 8.
TAO TE
If Super-Man has the following Trigrams on his card, he receives the powers listed:
Trigram 0 – Add 3 to Super-Man’s Defense;

Trigram 3 – Add 3 to his Move, and Super-Man may move over water without stopping;
Trigram 4 – Instead of attacking normally, Super-Man may choose a figure within 5 spaces and roll one an attack die against that figure for each wound marker on this card;
