The Book of Bunker

[Lord Pyre]

Looks good! Been forever since I read New 52 Teen Titans, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. Does he help his teammates attack, and shield them in the comic? I don’t remember him doing that off that top of my head. I dig the mechanic I just want to make sure it’s an accurate representation!

I’ll hit the initial here after I finish Red Skull. I’m working on my own batch of Titans currently anyway so I’m in that zone.

Looks good. Don't really know this guy. Thematically, why does the Platform power give him disengage?

Definitely make sure to test him with Superboy (Kon-El), Raven, and Nightwing!

I actually really like this power for Platforming.

Ooh, yeah, that's a big help to ground pounders.

I like that concept a lot, being able to help anyone climb up a wall would certainly be helpful, but losing the ability to cross water/lava hurts and it should effect him as well. I also don't like the numbers. 6 spaces up for the price of 1 move means a 6 move character could climb a 36 story building in one go. Should more closely match what a ladder does for you when moving up. I think that would be about 2:1.

Could we take that concept and add him travelling over lava and water? Or would that be too word heavy? Thematically it is a cool concept, he has been shown to lift others with his constructs for mobility.

I have just blitzed through 30 issues of panels from the Teen Titans comics. He was shown grappling a companion with a rope like construct from being sucked into a inter dimensional worm hole, was shown a few times shielding team mates (Ones who needed to be shielded) as well as ensnaring baddies with his constructs. With all that I was unfortunately unable to locate a panel that represented him forming a construct that assisted in anothers combat, however, he was shown extending his punch occasionally giving a sucker punch to baddies attacking another. Even though he is not constructing a physical gauntlet on another, I feel thematically it could still potentially work as he giving a lil extra bam on a otherwise engaged foe.

After what I did and explained in previous post, Few times during combat with a foe in the comics he was knocked off his platform.
At the time of creation, the ability I was emulating stated no leaving engagement. From a thematic approach, it would probably make sense to remove disengage.

PLATFORMER 3
When counting spaces for the normal movement of a figure you control, if that figure is moving onto a space within 3 spaces of Bunker, you may ignore the effects of all terrain and elevation changes of up to 3 levels count as one space.

Maybe this is better. I feel like a psionic brick platform would be a bit more effective at moving you up than a ladder. And I like the idea of him being able to platform you over water/lava/snow etc.

[Lord Pyre]

I could buy the “sucker punch” reasoning. But I also wonder if the design would just be more interesting without it. This guy, with his name and his brick walls, screams “defense.” I think it’s almost cooler if he is more defense and move support over attack. We have Red Robin for attack support.

[Yodaking]

I think that works Tickle and I'm fine with 3.

He looks good! I really like Bunker, aesthetically, so I'm glad to see him being done. Idle thoughts:

- Do we want Titan AND Sidekick for him, or do we want to limit to just Titans? I feel like I'm the only one that likes to make a distinction there, but I kind of like making a distinction between the two, but I do like it.
- I kind of like the idea of the first pip being an automatic skull, but not letting you use it on other people, if it's not overly thematic for him to do so.
- Base Range of 6 is kind of high, does he use constructs to shoot people?
- I think the chain might use some toning down; figure movement like that is very potent, particularly when it's free and automatic. Either fewer spaces, make it instead of moving or instead of attacking, restrict who it can move, that sort of thing.

I do like Platforming over his own fancy movement, but I'm not sure how thematic it is and think it's stronger (and would be a bigger part of the card) than it seems at first blush. You'd be going all-in on him being a passive support unit, really.
