Sherman Davies' Marvel customs - Starshine

[Spidey'tilIDie]

I am familiar with Boomerang as an enemy of Ironman from his time as an employee of Justin Hammer, but I had no idea he could fly! I checked that out to make sure you were right to put that on his card and sure enough there it was! Thanks for teaching me something Sherm! Oh yeah, and great card too!

[Sherman Davies]

Yeah, I had no idea he had jet boots either until I looked him up on wikipedia.

Here's my next Sinister Syndicate member:



His Cyclone special attack is supposed to represent this tactic:

[Balantai]

In Cyclone Special Attack, should it be "...may remove 1 unrevealed Order Marker..."?

[Hahma]

SD, I love the picture with the blur behind the figure.

What Balantai said.

Could you save room by combining Running with Phantom Walk to make Phantom Running? Start it out with the wording you have for Phantom Walk and continue with what you have for Running

For Hit and Run, how about:

Speed Demon may attack at any time during his movement. Speed Demon can only attack on a space where he could end his movement.

This might show better that he's attacking during his movement phase.

[Matt Helm]

Any reason for the lime green banner? Is that really a form of yellow?

[Sherman Davies]

It's what yellow looks like in GreyOwl's tools. There's also a bright yellow, but I never use it for the banner as white text is impossible to read on it.

Since I posted my Wolverine custom in your thread, Mr. Helm, I suppose I might as well post him here as well and interrupt my Sinister Syndicate theme:

He also had blue on his suit you could have used that. I find this yellow looks ok & white is still readable: e1c400

Here you go, as requested! I also added this to my Customizing Tools post and the zip file in there.

[GreyOwl]

Yeah, it was really hard to get a good yellow that you could also read white text on. I have on that looks yellow, but the text has to be black. The other looks okay with white text, but is a weird shade of yellow. If anyone can find me a color sample of a good yellow, I can make a version of it.

[Matt Helm]

Is there a mustard yellow you could use?

And by the way Sherman, as always, I like your take on things. funny how you and I have some pretty similar customs sometimes. Maybe it's our NY roots... maybe its our refusal to pack in every ability possible for each card, or maybe we're just lazier than other custom creators.

Anyway, I think the guy is going to heal an awful lot. If he has 5 wounds on his card at the end of the round, he has an 80% chance of cutting it back to 2 wounds. That's pretty darn good. I think you may be in a similar boat in that he's going to be real difficult to take out. But then again, relatively slow mover, no range, and the need to keep some of the Wounds on him to get the Berserker Rage should keep him in check.

By the way, I went with 6 move instead of 5 to allow the even number. In heavy snow, slippery ice, or elevation changes, I figured that Wolverine should be able to get to that extra space whether it be due to leaping or climbing. Since he can't fly and will likely outlast most figures to be left in a game with fliers, I think he needed it.

Just a thought.

Probably all three, I would think.

Yeah, I hesitated at making the number as low as a 10, but I figured that Logan's defining characteristic is being an ornery, hard-to-kill thug, so I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. All the points you brought up will hopefully keep him in check. Plus, he only gets to roll at the end of the round, so some concentrated attacks can take him out before he gets a chance to heal. His relative lack of mobility can also really hurt him - if you're shooting at him across a river, you have little to fear from the Canucklehead, unless of course Colossus is around to toss Wolvie across the river.

[GreyOwl]

I will give that one a try.
