_________________________________________________________________​
Character Bio - Once a weak insectoid creature that was significantly intelligent due to a mutation, Annihilus has been a long time foe of the Fantastic 4: Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing and Human Torch. Annihilus became a threat when he found the Tyannan starship wreckage that brought him as an un-evolved spore to the planet Arthos. Annihilus used a knowledge transference helmet from the ship to master the advanced Tyannan technology. This enhanced his intelligence and strength, creating a "Cosmic Control Rod" and body armaments. Obsessed with survival, the paranoid Annihilus set out to destroy any other living being he viewed as a possible threat to his existence. Annihilus used his newly acquired power to dominate other lifeforms that had arisen from the spores on Arthros, and plotted to either conquer or destroy the neighboring worlds in the Negative Zone.

Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

NAME = ANNIHILUS


SPECIES = ARTHRIAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CONQUEROR
PERSONALITY = NIHILIST

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 7

MOVE = 7
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 6
DEFENSE = 6

POINTS = 360

COSMIC CONTROL ROD
Start the game with the Glyph of Cosmic Control Rod on this card. If the Glyph of Cosmic Control Rod is not on this card at the end of a round, place one Wound Marker on this card. If the Glyph of Cosmic Control Rod is on this card at the end of the round, you may remove one Wound Marker from this card. Annihilus can only lose the Glyph of Cosmic Control Rod if he receives two or more wounds from a single attack or special power, or is destroyed.

FRANTIC STRENGTH
If the Glyph of Cosmic Control Rod is not on this card at the start of Annihilus' turn, add one die to Annihilus' attack.

CHITINOUS ARMOUR
When Annihilus is attacked with a normal attack from a non-adjacent figure, the most wounds he can receive from that attack is 1.

SUPER STRENGTH

FLYING




  • Super Strength
  • Flying
  • Quantum Band Carry (allows him to carry enemies and drop them for damage) This would be great in the scenarios cause it would allow him and the Fan 4 to move around the board more, as opposed to just engaging and swinging punches.
  • Very high life, like 8 or 9
  • Since the Cosmic Control Rod is an Equipment Glyph, and he is notorious for possesing it, what about a power called Cosmic Control Rod Ownership - Annihilus starts the game with the Cosmic Control Rod Equipment Glyph on this card and equipped.

Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

Sorry Griff, I still can't rep you so accept my personal thanx for all the effort you have put in, in setting up all these F4 threads & every other thing you do. Will you take out trash also?

Cheers
 
Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

No problem, it is my pleasure. :D Although I am just a couple points shy of my next green bar.... :whistle:
 
Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

Definitely Flying and Superstrength and nasty stats, but I'm not sure what else ...
 
Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

Something powerful for his Cosmic Control Rod. He also has regeneration.
 
Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

Does he have regeneration iconically or is it just kind of a throw in power for him the way it is for ... like half the Marvel and DC universes?

They seem consistent in that :D.
 
Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

The Special Attack is cool. And Death Clone is really cool (though we'd have to see if 6 wasn't too low for something that nasty).

Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

I like it. How about just calling that last power "Cosmic Control" though?
 
Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

I believe this is our last Fan Four unit without a real design yet, so I figured I'd give this thread a :bump:

Since I kind of took over the other 2 I thought I'd leave this one for Whitey :D. That & I don't have a clue where to begin with him.

Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

lol, gotcha.
Some possible ideas based on reading his Wiki and chatting with Griff a few days ago:

EXOSKELETON
If a figure without the Super Strength special power attacks Annihilus with a normal attack, the most wounds he can take from the attack is one.

THE OPPOSING FORCE
If Annihilus inflicts one or more wounds with his normal attack, you may remove one wound marker from this card.

Something referencing the Cosmic Control Rod glyph probably would be cool too ...

Yeah that is cool. If you wanted to include the CCR glyph, you could try this:

THE OPPOSING FORCE
If Annihilus inflicts one or more wounds with his normal attack or with the Cosmic Control Rod Equipment Glyph, you may remove one wound marker from this card.
 
Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

Oooh, I like that.
 
Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

Man, I am loving the flavor so far on him! I think it would be really cool if he also had a power that allowed him to maintain control of the CCR even if he recieves a wound, maybe a d-20 roll to see if he drops it or not?
 
Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

From the previous posts I think this is what we are looking at so far (~not trying to take anything away from Whitestuff, just trying to help get a frame of where it's at):

His personality would have to NIHILISTIC, or you could go with PARANOID.

Any future Centurions from the Negative Zone for him to command? (although he'll be pretty tough to take down as he is)

Nihilist is an official personality, see Thanos. I was kicking around the idea of Paranoid also but from what I was reading on the web that was more about his rise to domination but after he got to that position it was more just about the conqueroring (?sp) & less about being Paranoid. Which is why I went back to Nihilist :shrug:

I agree that having bonding on him would be too much, maybe if we do do the Centurions the bonding can be on them.

Re: Annihilus - Brainstorming Phase

Good stuff gang. First post updated. I think that you may be confused on what Nihilist means though, A3n. It isn't about wanting to control or dominate, but rather being apathetic to life and its meaning/purpose. Thanos is Nihilististic because Lady Death (his only love) rejects him when he dies, so he hates his own life and finds it pointless.
