Its model number and name are #051 / Moonstone.

NAME = METEORITE
SECRET IDENTITY = KARLA SOFEN

SPECIES = MUTATE

CLASS = CHARLATAN
PERSONALITY = TREACHEROUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 7

SELF-SERVING STRATEGIST
Once per round, after revealing an Order Marker on this card, you may immediately choose a friendly Hero within clear sight of Meteorite and move that Hero up to 4 spaces. For the rest of the round, that Hero adds 1 to its Attack number and subtracts 1 from its Defense number.

MOONSTONE BLAST SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 5. Attack 4 + Special.
Roll 1 additional die for this special attack if Moonstone has clear sight on the defending figure's Target Point.

CHARLATAN COHESION
While there is at least one Order Marker on this card, friendly Charlatans within clear sight of Meteorite cannot have Order Markers removed from their cards, or have their personalities changed, by opponents' special powers.

I've already got a couple write-ups floating around for Karla as Ms. Marvel and as Moonstone, but she's one of the all-time greats.

Been re-reading the early T-Bolts stuff lately and wanted a version of Karla-as-Meteorite that tapped a bit more into that. One big thing for that era of the character is that she didn't use her phasing abilities until she got outed as being Moonstone in disguise. So I moved away from any sort of intangibility thing, and leaned more into her role as the evil team therapist.

Kept the manipulation theme from Meteorite vI, that's too on brand to lose, but focused more on her manipulating her teammates to her own ends. First power shamelessly cribbed from a Soundwarp power and tweaked a bit.

This take also has an OM reveal trick for use with Justice Like Lightning.

The "no personality changing" bit is mainly trinket text for that therapy flavor, but some edge case relevance. Jolt does key on personality.

That costume's mask will never not be weird.

I honestly have no idea what power that first power is cribbed from, but I like it

Looks cool and and less obnoxious than Metorite vI so that thas a double win.

Love this!

Ah perfect, that means I changed enough that it's an original idea.

Glad you guys are digging it!

It really assaults the senses in a good way.

I should've said "special" way. Ugh, what a miss.

[Ronin]

Merged this into my old sidekick thread and reorganized the OP a bit - the giant blob was becoming unwieldy to edit.

[IAmBatman]

Some cool stuff in here. DC write ups remind me that we need to go all in on Constructs ... one of these days.

[Ronin]

Personally I'll be surprised if Constructs ever make it to the top of my to-do list, but you never know!

I currently have them 90 out of 100. But if there were a group effort, I'm sure I'd throw-in.

[Ronin]

Might be more in the 300-330 range for me.

Also, for the record, Meteorite's SA isn't sensory assault themed, except by a very loose and aggressive definition.
