The Book of Gorilla Grodd

[Griffin]

TELEKINETIC DEFENSE
When rolling defense dice, Gorilla Grodd always adds one automatic shield to whatever is rolled.

Could we also make these changes?

PSYCHOKINETIC DEFENSE
When rolling defense dice against a figure that does not have the Mental Shield special power, Gorilla Grodd always adds one automatic shield to whatever is rolled.

1) The name change basically means the exact same thing, though most people wont know that. What they will know is that we have already set the precedent on Jean Grey's card that Telekinetic means to move things and people with your mind, where as Psychokinetic is a bit more of an unknown term, so people can fill in the theme as they see fit. Also, Psychokinetic sounds more villainous.

2) I thought that sense this was a psychic defensive power, it shouldn't work on people who have the Mental Shield power, as that power was designed to counter these powerful Psychics.

Yep I like those changes also . Updated

Your too easy. I'm telling Lois.

MENTAL CONTROL 16

Because Grodd isn't really "controlling" the minds of others, and he is in fact exchanging minds, I don't like this title much, though I do understand why we would want a different name for it other than Mind Exchange. How do you feel about Mind Swap 16 or Mind Switch 16 instead? Or we could go with Consciousness Transfer 16 if you like that title.

Cognizant Control 16 has a super nice ring to it.

Great stuff fellas. Way to compromise in creating cool new powers from the official ones. GG retains the initial vibe that A3n came up with but adds more flavor that others were looking for.

But I'm not cheap. I do believe we are basically on the same page with this guy (even though I didn't agree with your first power ). So yeah that's probably why I'm easy here.

Another winner. Updated.

Theoryscaping puts him right around 200 for me. His powers are better than Dr. Doom's (official), but lacking flying and range hurts.

P.S. Great collaboration on this one guys - I love this card way more than I would've if we'd stuck with the original version or gone with the original version Griff wanted. This is C3G at its best right here.

Go team C3G!

Can't agree with you guys more . I think he is ready for an initial playtest. If you guys don't get to him before next weekend, I'll give it a crack.

SuperSkrull is next on my list and I don't plan on starting him until Wednesday, so I'm sure you'll beat me to it!

I am loving some Grodd right now! Great work, kudos to you all!

EDIT: However, I prefer this mini to the one posted, I mean when have you ever seen Grodd wear a cape and loin cloth? http://www.hcrealms.com/units/aa010.jpg
