The Book of Mister Fantastic

Yeah, I think that's the direction I'm leaning in as well. Grr, all the formatting got screwed up from copying things over from the Wave.

Keeping secrets over in Wave are we...? Hmmm...

Agreed, but why is it only a move of three? Why the reduced distance penalty with it?

BTW, I do not like the comic art pic. Reed should be older...



EDIT---------------------

I was reading up about Reed over on the Marvel Universe Wiki...

Mister Fantastic can shift his body (or portions of same) into a super-malleable state, enabling him to stretch, compress, expand, deform, elongate, contract or otherwise reshape his physical form at will. He can stretch his limbs, neck and torso to incredible lengths, though extending himself beyond approximately 1500 feet is a serious physical strain. When assuming non-humanoid shapes, he tends to favor simple constructs such as barricades, canopies, cylinders, cubes, nets, parachutes and spheres, generally assuming a volume of no greater than 1.7 cubic feet (though he can expand far beyond that volume if the shape he forms is thin-shelled and hollow). He can render himself paper-thin, or become slim enough in diameter to thread the eye of a needle. His malleable form renders him relatively immune to most conventional impacts; for instance, bullets fired into his body tend to bounce back at the shooter, and he can bodily contain small explosions. It is almost impossible to lacerate or puncture his skin unless he consciously allows such penetrations. By reshaping his features, Reed can disguise himself at will.

The two bolded parts stuck out to me:

1. Is 25 levels high enough for Stretch Walk?
2. Ranged Counterstrike anyone?

[IAmBatman]

C3G Plastic Man already has ranged counterstrike, though ... do we want the two to be that alike?
I'm fine with Stretch Walk going higher ... 40? 44? Get those fours back in there?

[IAmBatman]

Stretch Walk could probably have a move of 4 as well. I think we're just trying to avoid letting it feel exactly like flying in gameplay.

While on a molecular level they are very different, in terms of theme into game play (not counting Reed's FF team stuff) they both seem fairly alike from where I'm sitting...

[IAmBatman]

Oh, I don't disagree, but I think it might behoove us to try to make them play differently, just so we don't look like a bunch of hacks and all.
I think that a cyberclaw like "Rubber Wrap" kind of power might be a better fit here than another ranged counter strike for a stretchy guy. Really, he's capable of doing both, and he's spent plenty of time doing both, so I think it makes sense to lean on one that's not already represented on another C3G card.

Stretch Walk 40 with a move of 4.

He's wrapped up Thing and should be able to tie down opponents. He's also stretched himself to block opponents from passing through areas.

Maybe any sm/med/large opponent's figure passing within 3 spaces of him must roll to end there move say on an 8-14 and on 15-20 they end their move and end their turn by being Wrapped up.

I'd rather not unnecessarily attach a d20 to that power. A simple "Improved Cyberclaw clone" would do for me.

Well that could work too.

But does the figure still get to attack if it's wrapped up with it's appendages hindered/restricted? Unlike Cyberclaw, Mr. Fantastic wraps up more than just one arm. Is the opponent able to use both normal and special attacks, or just special attacks?

Does Mr. Fantastic get to still attack while he's got an opponent's figure wrapped up? If so, does he get to attack any adjacent figure or just the one that's wrapped up? Would he be restricted to a constricting type attack only on the wrapped up figure?
