Re: The Book of Commander Brand (Breathing Phase)
I believe they weren't given Agent synergy as that was deemed too powerful. It's worth noting they can still be activated by Nick, they just don't bond with an Agent squad while doing so and can't be dropped on height. Not played it, but I imagine that would be quite effective, mobilising spotters with Nick while offering covering fire with S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, then you activate a sniper afterwards. It'd be nice to see someone give them a tad more synergy, though, down the line, but you'd need to be careful and it would need to be thematically justified.

Thanks for the comments all

If we did go with Abigail Brand as the name, wouldn't she still need a Secret ID? Brand isn't her real last name. Quote:
It would be a cool idea for a generic Shield Lt or a minor named Shield guy though, especially if it could be done in a way that integrated better with Fury. Shield has plenty of thematic room and usable mins to expand out with too, the generic agent side of Shield is rather untapped at the moment. Maybe even expand it a bit to something like 'Before using the Director of Shield special power to take a turn with a non-agent Hero, you may first take a turn with one Common Agent Hero you control'. That could give you a cool new way to play Fury where he can assign some agents to support Thor or whoever, then clean-up with some Sniper/Spotter kill teams. Also, I think I can tag the rest of the CRB now, so I'll go ahead and do that. @dok @Dysole @weebaer My Repaints and Mods: Updated 1-13 My Custom Cards: Updated 4-15 My Custom Superheroes: Updated 1-13 My figure images for online games: Alliance figures, Utgar figures My Etsy Store |

Re: The Book of Commander Brand (Breathing Phase)
No, she has never said otherwise. Brand is her real last name, just as Fury is Nick Fury's. Is it a secret agent name? Maybe, but that's who he/she is now. There is literally no storyline reason to believe her name is anything else.

Re: The Book of Commander Brand (Breathing Phase)
Hmm, I stand corrected. Those look like Breakworld soldiers, so that’s from her very first appearance. It’s likely that someone had plans for that (writer) and it’s been completely forgotten. If I were to hazard a guess, I’d say the best bet is that her Earth name is so different from her alien name that she had to create an Earth identity. I stand by the Nick Fury comparison though. Abigail Brand is who she is.

Odd thing to shout in that sort of situation, though, so I'm going to assume the writers got the meaning of 'given name' wrong. Quote:

Re: The Book of Commander Brand (Breathing Phase)
The title discussion returns! We have Commander Rogers, Reverend Stryker, etc. so I've not problem with Commander Brand and then her homeworld name as her secret identity. I'd even be okay with Abagail Brand and then her secret identity being her alien name. An eventual Clark Kent design would have to operate that way to prevent drafting him and Superman together.
Like Superheroes and Comics?

@Lazy Orang
I wasn’t aware Superman’s race required a mutated tongue in order to speak their language. Oh wait, they don’t. But Abigail does.

Re: The Book of Commander Brand (Breathing Phase)
Clark Kent's Secret ID is Kal-El and he is known in universe by that name...Bat's often calls him Kal instead of Superman. Of course that could be more because of Bat's aversion to accepting that Kal-El is a Superior Man...who knows.
Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: The Book of Commander Brand (Breathing Phase)
Guys and gals, I regret to inform you that Abigail Brand is my ex-wife. Brand wasn't her last name when I met her, we had a whirlwind romance that resulted in a Las Vegas wedding, the real Elvis was there and everything (he is an alien after all)! We agree to both take Brand as our new last name, when the marriage ended she kept the name but I went back to my original last name. Even though is ended in divorce, was the best 2 years of my life. Only spent a few weeks on Earth during that time. I could tell you what her last name was when she was born, but then she literally would hunt me down and kill me.

Re: The Book of Commander Brand (Breathing Phase)
Brand is definitely an assumed name, but since we don't know her birth name and have moved away from "???" In identities, I'm fine with just using it here. Keep it simple.
