The Book of Brainiac
The Book of Brainiac C3G DC WAVE 10 TERRIFYING TEAM-UPS Comic PDF Mini PDF NOTE: Brainiac requires 1x Glyph of Shrinking Ray Gun The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Brave and the Bold set. Its model number and name are #031 / Brainiac. _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - Brainiac was once a radical Coluan scientist called Vril Dox who, having attempted to overthrow the Computer Tyrants of Colu, was sentenced to death. In his last moments before disintegration, his consciousness was attracted light years away to Milton Fine, a human sideshow mentalist who worked under the alias "Brainiac". Needing cranial fluid to maintain his possession of Fine, Dox went on a murder spree. He discovered that Fine had genuine powers, which he frequently wielded against Superman. Before Vril Dox escaped his death sentence on Colu, he was a collector of civilizations and lifeforms. To collect entire cities and cultures of lifeforms, he would first shrink them and store them into bottled containers for observation. His practice even brought him into contact with Krypton, as he captured and collected its famous Capital City of Kandor. When Superman learned of this, he did everything he could to inevitably free the Kandorians. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
NAME = BRAINIAC
SECRET IDENTITY = VRIL DOX SPECIES = COLUAN UNIQUENESS = EVENT HERO CLASS = CONQUEROR PERSONALITY = CALCULATING SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 12 MOVE = 6 RANGE = 4 ATTACK = 6 DEFENSE = 6 POINTS = 800 MINIATURIZED COLLECTION Start the game with the Glyph of Shrinking Ray Gun on this card. Brainiac cannot lose this glyph by receiving wounds unless he is destroyed. After moving and before attacking, you may choose a Tiny Unique Hero within 4 clear sight spaces and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 18 or higher, place the figure on this card. TELEPATHIC MANIPULATION When an Order Marker is revealed on any other Army Card in play that does not have the Mental Shield special power, you may immediately choose a figure from that Army Card. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 7 or higher, you may inflict a wound on a figure adjacent to the chosen figure. 12TH LEVEL INTELLECT After any attack dice, defense dice, or the 20-sided die is rolled for Brainiac or any figure within clear sight of Brainiac, you may immediately remove an "X" Order Marker from this card and add or subtract a skull, shield, blank, or 1 from that roll.

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
Looks good Griff. 12th LI might need a bit of help in the language department as it doesn't quite flow when reading, but the idea & mechanics are sound.

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
Thanks. I had Bats working with me on the 12th Level Intellect yesterday, and I am happy with the direct as well, but the wording could probably use a SirG touch to it.

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
Pretty cool stuff here. I don't know this guy at all. I've seen some Brainiacs on Superman or Justice League cartoons, but not this version. Certainly don't want to be shrunk and close to him or just plain Tiny all the time.

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
Maybe you can add two to the roll for Miniaturized Collection if the figure doesn't have Superstrength. Just an idea I had. I like the design.

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
The collection is as simple as him sucking them into a bottle. I don't think Super Strength reducing the roll makes a lot of sense, and I don't want to add more text to the power unless it is really warranted.

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
Agreed about not adding any more text to the card if possible.
One thing I was thinking as I read it over again though, is that it's not clear whether you can use Telepathic Manipulation after Brainiac is destroyed. A clear sight restriction or something like it might help: TELEPATHIC MANIPULATION When an Order marker is revealed on any other Army Card in play, you may immediately choose a figure in clear sight of Brainiac that belongs to that Army Card and roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 7 or higher, you may inflict a wound on one figure adjacent to the chosen figure. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
Powers on cards are not in affect after they are destroyed unless they state otherwise, so he cannot use the power once he is dead, otherwise Joker could reuse Organize Chaos after his death because you are allowed to still put order markers on destroyed cards (just not reveal them).
With that said, I considered the clear sight restriction, but I didn't like adding more text to the card, and I liked keeping him feeling Event like with his power level. I left off the Mental Shield restriction for the same reason. |

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
Miniaturized Collection is a really interesting and fun power. If Atom is placed on his card he can still hop off right? Would Atom reduce Braniac's stats in this way as well? I have the card printed but have only used him once I think.
Figures with Mental Shield need immunity to Telepathic Manipulation. |

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
No, he can only hop off if he places himself with his own power. There's no provision in Miniaturized Collection for getting off the card.

Re: The Book of Brainiac - Designing
So are the figures in the Minitiarized Collection destroyed?
Do they get to be re-placed on the battlefield after Brainiac is destroyed? If yes, then no, then the roll must be increased. It already is at a 15 with the 12th Level Intellect, without any other bonuses. (30% chance of an auto-destroy - yikes!) Otherwise, this guy better cost a bunch. |
