FEEL THE PAIN
Begin the game with a Black Pain Marker. If Penance would receive at least two wounds, you may ignore any number of those wounds and place the Pain Marker on this card. While the Pain Marker is on this card subtract 1 from Penance’s Defense number and add 1 to his Attack Number.

SELF SABOTAGE 16
If the Pain Marker is on this card at the end of a round, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 16 or higher, place 1 wound marker on this card and on the card of any figure adjacent to Penance, then remove the Pain Marker from this card.

612 SPIKES SPECIAL ATTACK
Range: 3 + Special Attack: 3+ Special
Before attacking with this special attack, you may remove the Pain Marker from this card. If you do, you may add 1 to the Range and Attack numbers of this special attack for each wound marker on this card, to a maximum of +3. All figures adjacent to Penance are also affected by this special attack. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Affected figures roll defense dice separately. This Special Attack may only be used once per round.

Cool, I'd still love to see Penance (and P-Cat)!

Looking back, not sure I'm super happy where this is again, if I tackle him, I want to reattach some at least loose ideas that he is the Hooded Justice from the show, since I'm not really feeling anything on here really alludes to that currently.
Maybe broadening out Criminal Intimidation to include Terrorists idk.

Also I'd be fine if we dropped the "he has an SI" bit at this point considering similar figures like Snake Eyes don't have one.

This could be a simple way to do it, get across the hokey 40s/50s image of the Minutemen, but also ties in HJ taking down the Cyclops. And it broadens out the niche power of CI.

EVILDOER INTIMIDATION
Criminal, Terrorist, and Mastermind figures roll 1 fewer defense die against Hooded Justice's normal attack.

edit: I'm adding it for now

You have to be careful with niche powers like that because they may not be able to get their value outside their niche.

[IAmBatman]

At least there are active ways to turn enemy figures into Criminals now.

Fwiw, I like the secret identity part of the Age of Masks. I think it sells the theme of the power better.

[Tornado]

For sure. Just something to keep in mind.

NAME = MIEK

SPECIES = SAKAARAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = GLADIATOR
PERSONALITY = VENGEFUL

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = ???

WARBOUND
While Miek is adjacent to at least one friendly Gladiator, add 1 to his Attack and Defense numbers. After Miek defends against an attack from an opponent's figure, you may move one Gladiator figure you control.

FOR THE HIVE! SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 4 + SPECIAL
When attacking with this special attack, Miek may attack one additional time for each Wound Marker on his Army Card, to a maximum of 3 total attacks. Miek rolls an extra attack die with this special attack while he is adjacent to at least one friendly Gladiator figure.

NEVER STOPPING
If Miek successfully wounds an enemy with his normal attack, he must roll an unblockable attack die against all adjacent enemies.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING

I plan on running Miek in a few days, once I turn in my test for Buu. I just wanted to see if you guys think this is in a good enough spot to move forward.

I’m just going to quote my post from last time, since I basically have the exact same thoughts.

I really like some of the stuff we talked about on Discord, maybe modified to adjust for the new Warbound power.

If you disagree that’s valid, but I’d want to hear your case for why.

I think the special attack works as an addition, but I feel like it should be capped at 4 attacks (4 arms) and the +1 attack for being next to a Gladiator feels clunky.

[Splash]

Yeah you already have Warbound buffing normal attack and the Gladiator class is basically nonexistent, it doesn't need to enhance the special as well.

I guess I kind of missed that, my bad. I do see where you're coming from though, I'd be fine with replacing the SA with Chemming and changing Never Stopping, but do you the think the SA would be ok if I just removed the Gladiator part or just changed it to adjacent friendly figure? And it's capped at 3 because one of his arms got cut off fairly early on iirc. I'm not sure if this would be pushing it, but would it be possible to add Chemming as a 4th power instead of getting rid of the SA?

Ah yeah, even the mini has one of his arms as a bandaged stub. Mea Culpa!

It would fit on the card probably. I personally feel like 4 powers on a relatively minor character is pushing it, but that's a personal taste thing.

WARBOUND
While Miek is adjacent to at least one friendly Gladiator, add 1 to his Attack and Defense numbers. After Miek defends against an attack from an opponent's figure, you may move one Gladiator figure you control.

CHEMMING
When rolling for initiative, you may add 1 to your roll for each Unique Gladiator Hero you control engaged with an enemy figure.

FOR THE HIVE! SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 4 + SPECIAL
When attacking with this special attack, Miek may attack one additional time for each Wound Marker on his Army Card, to a maximum of 3 total attacks. Miek rolls an extra attack die with this special attack while he is adjacent to at least one friendly Gladiator figure.

NEVER STOPPING
When a friendly Gladiator adjacent to Miek attacks an opponent's figure with a normal attack and does not inflict any wounds, you may immediately roll an unblockable attack die against every figure adjacent to Miek.

What if you combined the Chemming effect with the SA?

FOR THE HIVE! SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 4.
After attacking with this special attack, Miek may attack one additional time for each engaged figure you control, to a maximum of 2 additional attacks.

[Splash]

Combining the two "I'm a bug person" powers makes sense to me, but that's just from a theme standpoint. Attacking based on engaged allies is cool as a midst of battle thing and feels what For The Hive could mean.
