The Book of Green Goblin

[IAmBatman]

I'm not understanding how it's not thematic for his design to work well against Spider-man's design? You mean the lack of something saying in bold text "this guy hates Spider-man" on his card?
I guess I just figured our demographic is a slightly older crowd familiar with these characters who doesn't need that type of thing spelled out that bluntly ...
Or am I misreading what you're asking for?

I do like a Spidey-centric power, but, I think his Pumpkin Bombs do a good enough job of keeping people spread out and would certainly do a good job of isolating Spidey, so I'm rather content with the card as-is. Implicit details and all that.

One thing, though - is "Industrialist" really the best choice for a Class? I mean, he is an industrialist, but... so is Lex Luthor, and C3G has him listed as a Mastermind. I think Normon Osborn fits Mastermind perfectly (considering his practically took over the US in Dark Reign and has his hands in all sorts of businesses and crime rings), while for the Goblin, I could see Psychopath (like the Joker) or, I dunno, maybe just Criminal?

You could go with either route, really. I think a Normon Osborne just as "himself" would be cool at some point down the line, you know, with some sort of Criminal movement power or something (since he was director of HAMMER and led the Thunderbolts and the Dark Avengers and all that), so my vote would be for Psychopath, but Mastermind wouldn't be a bad fit, either, since the Green Goblin is rather good at big complex plans.

Actually, though, going with Wikipedia's definition of Psychopath...

Psychopathy (pronounced /saɪˈkɒpəθi/) is a personality disorder characterized by an abnormal lack of empathy combined with strongly amoral conduct, masked by an ability to appear outwardly normal.

...and their list of characteristics of people with antisocial personality disorder...

Persistent lying or stealing
Apparent lack of remorse or empathy for others
Cruelty to animals
Poor behavioral controls — expressions of irritability, annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control of anger and temper
A history of childhood conduct disorder
Recurring difficulties with the law
Tendency to violate the boundaries and rights of others
Substance abuse
Aggressive, often violent behavior; prone to getting involved in fights
Inability to tolerate boredom
Disregard for safety

...that sounds good for Normon AND the Goblin. The guy is nutty as a fruitcake but, most of the time, can still seem like a cold and intelligent CEO or father or what have you. He'll lie and cheat and steal and kill just for the power and fun of it.

Of course, that would give him the exact same Left Box as the Joker, and I'm not quite sure if we'd want that. So, y'know... just ideas. I'd say either Mastermind or Psychopath would be the best choice, though.

I agree that both Psychopath and Mastermind are great fits.

I prefer Psychopath, as I don't see him working in the criminal faction all that well, most of them despise him greatly.

I agree with a Psychopath personality. He would make a great Mastermind, if he others would listen to him. It's like Griff said, they really don't like him and none of them trust him enough to follow orders.

I like Psychopath and the stats/powers and such on the front page.

Could explore other comic art, but everything else looks pretty solid.

I Know that this power is very unique, but the same rule for determining adjacent attack/non adjacent attacks still apply.

I hope that helps, and Sir G should add this to the FAQ.

So added. Also changed his class to "Psycopath"

Awesome. This is a really excellent design IMO.

[IAmBatman]

You should probably bump up that proposal to pass him to the design phase. (at which point he'll be ready for an initial playtest right away, in my opinion).

[Hidicul]

Another one to add to the insane army!!!!!!

[Griffin]

SirG loves those Insane designs.

[SirGalahad]

Do we have the votes to move to Design Phase?
