The Book of Scorpion (Carmilla Black)
The Book of Scorpion (Carmilla Black) C3G MARVEL WAVE 27 YOUNG MARVELS Comic PDF Mini PDF The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Captain America set. Its model number and name are #032 / Scorpion. _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - The genetically-engineered daughter of Monica Rappaccini, Carmilla Black didn't know her mother growing up, and was raised by adoptive parents. It was a complete surprise to Carmilla when her powers manifested at the age of sixteen, killing her boyfriend at a homecoming dance. After discovering her powers, Carmilla ran away from home and tried to stay hidden, but returned to her hometown when her adoptive parents were murdered. Returning home brought her into the middle of the conflict between SHIELD and AIM, eventually leading her to become an agent of SHIELD. Carmilla has crossed paths with Bruce Banner (and his big, green alter ego) several times, and suspects that he may be her biological father. As a result of AIM's genetic modifications, Carmilla is immune to all toxins, and her body is capable of processing irritants like smoke and nerve gas without missing a beat. She's even unaffected by gamma rays and nuclear fallout. Her main offensive weapon is the "stinger" in her left arm. Her body stores toxins in a gland near her heart, and she can expel them through her left hand to incapacitate or even kill targets. _________________________________________________________________ -Rulings and Clarifications-

Re: The Book of Scorpion (Carmilla Black) (Design Phase)
NAME = SCORPION
SECRET IDENTITY = CARMILLA BLACK SPECIES = MUTATE UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = AGENT PERSONALITY = TRICKY SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 4 LIFE = 5 MOVE = 6 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 3 DEFENSE = 4 POINTS = 120 SCORPION STING After attacking an adjacent figure with Scorpion's normal attack, you may roll the 20-sided die. Add 1 to the roll for each wound the defending figure received from that attack. -If you roll 9 or lower, nothing happens. -If you roll 10-18, the defending figure receives a wound. -If you roll 19 or higher, the defending figure receives two wounds. Androids, Constructs, Undead, and destructible objects are not affected by Scorpion Sting. DISENGAGE Scorpion is never attacked when leaving engagements. ENHANCED FILTRATION Scorpion is not affected by Gas Glyphs. Last edited by Ronin; May 14th, 2017 at 06:24 PM. |

Re: The Book of Scorpion (Carmilla Black) (Design Phase)
Yea
Would her stinger power read easier if we moved the immunities to the end of the power? Quote:

Re: The Book of Scorpion (Carmilla Black) (Design Phase)
I think pretty much all the theme notes I'm trying to hit are right there in the bio. SHIELD ties, poison powers, pretty durable as teenagers with bare midriffs go. Aiming for her to come out a pretty lean design at 140-150 points.

Re: The Book of Scorpion (Carmilla Black) (Design Phase)
Aww... I was hoping for the Scarlet Spiders.
Still, Carmilla looks cool. ~ Lazy Orang, who's going to have to get used to listing the Spidey villain as Scorpion (Mac Gargan) in tests from now on. |

Re: The Book of Scorpion (Carmilla Black) (Design Phase)
Scarlet Spiders almost work for me, but I'm still not 100% satisfied with em. Need to let them sit for a while. Carmilla was ready to deploy, though.
Also, there's a bonus little thematic link to Kristoff in that they're both children of supervillains. |

Trying to build up a booster pack, here?

Re: The Book of Scorpion (Carmilla Black) (Design Phase)
Yeah, I'm working on getting a booster started for a future release. Probably not hard to guess what figures are going into that one.

Re: The Book of Scorpion (Carmilla Black) (Design Phase)
I'm not seeing 5 life for her after reading the bio. All those things she is durable against seem to be well covered by the immunity power. Getting smashed in the face with Thor's hammer is another story all together.
I like the direction you are going with the Stinger power, but I think it is a little strong as is. She is currently scoring at least 1 auto-wound on 50% of all attack rolls, even those where she does not roll a single skull. Once she starts rolling skulls the odds go up and she also has the chance to score 2 auto-wounds. Compare her to Cheshire's poison for a moment and Cheshire needs to roll a skull first, then scores 1W on a 13+ and that is it. No chance for a second wound, no increasing odds, no D20 roll even on a total miss/whiff. |

EDIT: Thinking it over, I actually wouldn't mind paring the immunity power back to just gas glyphs and dropping the "-2 to opponent's d20 rolls" bit, since the powers she's getting a resistance to there aren't a particularly thematic group. We've gone up over 4 Life for the sake of old wives' tales about cats before, though, so you're gonna have a hard time selling me on the idea that 5 Life is unthematic for a person genetically engineered to thrive in nightmarish toxic wastelands. All Life numbers look too high when you look through the lens of "How many times could Thor cudgel this person in the face before they stopped moving?" Quote:

Re: The Book of Scorpion (Carmilla Black) (Design Phase)
I like the design as-is, personally. I could see tweaking the numbers for Stinger Toxin and so forth, but otherwise it's really cool as-is.
