The Book of Red Mist
The Book of Red Mist C3G ICON WAVE 21 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Comic PDF Movie Comic PDF Mini PDF The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the KA2 set. Its model number and name are #004 / Chris D'Amico. Its model number and name are #103 / Chris D'Amico. _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - At the same time the popularity of superhero Kick-Ass grew, the crime lord Johnny G was running into problems with other, more serious superheroes: Hit-Girl and Big Daddy. Thinking they were all related, Johnny G set out against Kick-Ass, the only widely known hero. Chris Genevese, Johnny G's son, adopted a superhero persona, Red Mist, to befriend Kick-Ass and lure all the heroes into an unsuccessful trap. After the demise of Johnny G, Chris swore revenge against Kick-Ass. He vowed to become the world's first supervillain, traveling to Asia to train under martial arts grandmasters. But after he realized they were swindling him for money, he decided he didn't need awesome fighting skills or unique abilities to be a supervillain: his actual superpower is that he's rich as ****. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: The Book of Red Mist ~~ Design Phase
NAME = RED MIST
SECRET IDENTITY = CHRIS GENEVESE SPECIES = HUMAN UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = CRIME LORD PERSONALITY = SPOILED SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 3 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 5 ATTACK = 2 DEFENSE = 2 POINTS = 50 PAYOFF After revealing an Order Marker on this card and taking a turn with Red Mist, you may choose a Unique Criminal Hero within 3 clear sight spaces of Red Mist and reveal an "X" Order Marker on this card.
Anytime Red Mist would receive one or more wounds, you may instead destroy any common or squad figure you control adjacent to Red Mist. Last edited by SirGalahad; May 2nd, 2014 at 02:41 AM. |

Re: The Book of Red Mist ~~ Design Phase
Obviously going to need some wording touch ups, but I think the theme is pretty darned strong and comes across well, while also being useful for a cheap figure.
Only thing I want to discuss is his name. In the comic/film, he's known as the Mother****er, which we obviously can't put on a card. We could go Red Mist, but that was his Hero persona that he shed for his new villain persona, so it's not technically correct. We could use the classes abbreviation/censor Mofo, which a lot of people call him when they have to censor it, but it is still borderline. Otherwise just call him Chris Geneveve. Personally, I'd prefer Mofo, with just Chris being my least favorite choice. But I totally understand if you guys are against that. Or maybe we could make two cards, with different names, make everyone happy. |

Re: The Book of Red Mist ~~ Design Phase
Looks pretty solid. I like the theme behind Payoff, but I wonder if the number of markers might need to come up to ensure that he's worth the draft pick. The Criminals have a few OM controllers already. Given his low stats and limited number of activations, we'll have to make sure he's definitely draftable. That can be worked out through testing though.
As for the name, I'm very against both Mother****er and Mofo. Both cross a line I'd rather not, as there are too many young children who enjoy C3G, my 7 year old brother being one of them. Red Mist works for me, but I'd it's not accurate, then I'd go with his real name.

Re: The Book of Red Mist ~~ Design Phase
Yes to the Unique Hero restriction.
And yeah, the temporary turn is missing some necessary language (OM staying on the card and all that). I could see starting with 4 markers, for up to two turns with an enemy figure or up to 4 turns with his own. I don't want him to be too good for the cost, though. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: The Book of Red Mist ~~ Design Phase
Yeah, forgot the OM thing. I definitely don't want to see him high at all. Anything above 60-65 is going to make me leery. Ventriloquist is at 90, and he's much more of an organized threat than Chris ever was (Of course, Ventriloquist was against Batman, while there are no real superheroes like that in Chris's world).

Re: The Book of Red Mist ~~ Design Phase
I'd really like a "The Mother****er" with grawlix. "The Mother&!@?er" or something - you know, a lot more comic-y than just stars. Of course that could be for more private use... I'd probably just go with his straight name rather than the Red Mist since that's inaccurate at this point in his career.

Re: The Book of Red Mist ~~ Design Phase
Yeah, but we already have markers that are big dollar signs, it feels weird to have two of those.
