Public Design Workshop

I'd be down for that. If we were leaning into the DCAU take, it'd be cool to actually have a mini to match, and call her Kara In-Ze and all.

Before the Batman: The Animated Series Clix set came out, I was really hoping it would have a mini for JLU Supergirl. They really only hit the core members of the JL and Lex Luthor, though, and didn't do much else repping the DCAU outside of Gotham.

On Brainiac 5, the mechanics are interesting, but I do worry a little bit about being able to recruit Kryptonians and Champions - lots of high-end figures there, which the Legionnaires don't get a lot of (and the ones they do get tend to have negative powers).
They seem to be experimenting with more out there stuff like the BTAS and Adam West Batman sets. It wouldn’t surprise me if we got a general Timmverse wave somewhere down the line.

The Legion has a few high-end characters that just haven’t been carded yet. They have a handful of Kryptonian-level characters, the last Green Lantern, and it’s not all that uncommon for full-grown Supes to join their ranks.

Still, I see how just being able to spawn in someone like Supes II as a Legionnaire could be a problem, balance wise. One idea I scrapped was that you sent Legionnaires into the past in the Time Bubble by placing them on his card, and while in the past they could “retrieve” the Champion and return to the “present”, or they could stay in the “past” to provide some sort of passive benefit. And maybe instead of placing them within 3 spaces of Brainy, you would have to place the returning Legionnaires in your start zone. So you can still pull up any Kryptonian or Champion, but you’d have to jump through a few hoops. And then maybe the Champion would have to have an OM on their own card to be considered a Legionnaire?
I'm actually a big fan of the Silver Age Supergirl (have some of the hardcovers and everything, though I'll probably upgrade to the omnibuses at some point). I'm not a huge fan of her as a Legionnaire - frankly I've never liked the Legion in general :p - but there's pretty strong precedent with our Superboy.

But I think, if we were going to really go with a Silver Age version, we'd need a "Superman's Secret Weapon" power. It's really a definitive angle for her early days - even if it's something as simple as Reluctant Hero for Kryptonians (or Kryptonians and Legionnaires...?).

Oh, and for JLU Supergirl, we already have a figure ready. :p Lord Pyre actually painted up one for me way back when as a gift. I think I still have some pictures laying around. The Timm design is my favorite look for her, with her original 59 close behind (though I do like her 70s hotpants costume too).
First of all, not liking the Legion? How dare you, sir. :p

I think limiting a Silver Age Kara to being a Legionnaire wouldn’t be my top choice. Sure, Superboy is one, but I’d say being in the Legion is one of Superboy’s most defining attributes. I almost think Champion would be better for Kara, but that’s probably not the best fit personality wise. I honestly just want a Supergirl that isn’t in the weird synergy-less void that the current one is. It would be cool to somehow capture her time in the JL, Legion and Titans (although maybe that last one was a different version of her?) but I imagine that would be really hard to do on a single card.
 
I haven't actually read any of the silver age Supergirl stuff, so I'll leave hashing that out to the folks who know a little more.

Definitely agreed that I'd like more reason to see the character in the game, though.

I know the Rebirth era has incorporated some of the DEO stuff from the show, but I'm not clear on how close it skews to the TV version. Some DEO units, and a way to tie them to Refugees, would be cool if the comics support that.
 
Oh, and for JLU Supergirl, we already have a figure ready. :p Lord Pyre actually painted up one for me way back when as a gift. I think I still have some pictures laying around. The Timm design is my favorite look for her, with her original 59 close behind (though I do like her 70s hotpants costume too).

I think I created an alternate card for that figure so I'll likely have the comic art and figure used on my drive.
 
So I might just maybe be totally serious about 50% Chad (at least a custom). What would you think a 50% Chad design would look like @MrNobody ? I wouldn’t LD the guy since I’m not familiar with the character and I’m sure you would be more passionate about creating that faction.
 
I think 50% Chad is new to the Gerard Way stuff, which Nobody isn't familiar with.

The upside of that is that you don't have to do a lot of reading to catch up on him. The downside is that he.... doesn't really do a lot? I think his one 'fight' basically just features a scene of Flex Mentallo chasing him around shouting "I just want to understand!". :lol:
 
:lol: that’s awesome. Well according to the interwebs he has like a stinky aura but I’m not sure if that translates to a defense reduction for adjacent figures or if there could be a more interesting way of representing a giant pair of legs :lol:
 
If somebody else actually wanted to do it, I’d be down with LDing either Mr. Nobody (who I already have a draft for) or one of the Morrison era ones. Then get Chad to represent the Way run and you have a fun little team, I think.

Speaking of Nobody, I heard they cast Alan Tudyk as him in the DP show. That sounds absolutely perfect.

For a pair of legs, it would make sense for him to have a power involving kicking or running, right?

QUIK QLUB
If you draft exactly one squad of Civilians then they are Quik Rabbit's, Quik Qlub. The Quik Club is considered to be Unique and their Size is Small 3. Before taking a turn with Quik Bunny you may take a turn with the Quik Club.

QUIK THINKING
Order markers may never be removed from this card by any power on an opponent's card. Once per game, if all of your order markers are on this card, you may look at all of your opponents' order markers and add +10 to your initiative roll.

QUIK BUNNY DECOY
Once per game, if Quik Bunny is not engaged, after being attacked, instead of rolling defense dice for Quik Bunny, you may ignore the attack and instead the defending figure must roll defense dice against the attack. The defending attacker may not roll more defense dice than listed on that figure's card.

MASTER MANIPULATOR

After revealing an Order Marker on Brain's card, instead of taking that turn with Brain, you may take a turn with any Unique Hero you control within clear sight of Brain.

PORTABLE FRAME
Once per turn, after moving a Medium, Large, or Huge figure you control that began its turn adjacent to Brain, you may place Brain adjacent to that figure.

CALL TO EVIL
Anytime an Order Marker is revealed on a card, you may choose a figure on that card and immediately roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 14 or higher, you may either have the chosen figure receive a wound, or any figure adjacent to the chosen figure receive a wound.
Throwing this out there...no reason...
 
The first two powers really work for me. I'm lost as to what's going on with Call to Evil.

The first two powers really work for me. I'm lost as to what's going on with Call to Evil.
Here's what Johnny had to say on the topic;
Call to Evil is, like you said, a take on him manipulating people into sneaky, subversive attacks or self-harm.
I think it can fit the theme of the character, because he does have a powerful knack for getting people to go completely against their self-interest.

I could also see replacing it with something else, if the LD wanted to. Mad Thinker's Mind Games is the first thing that I could think of. It would make him a real beast of an OM hub, but he'd still be pretty fragile. I think that fits the character.

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF EARTH
At the start of the game, if all figures you control are Human, you may place 1 blue Earth Marker on this card for each Unique Human Hero you control, to a maximum of 3. Whenever a Unique Human Hero or Science Police figure you control destroys a figure, you may remove an Earth Marker from this card to place the destroyed figure on this card.

POWER ABSORPTION
Whenever Earth-Man destroys a Unique Hero, you may place it on this card. You may use any special powers on the Army Card of any figure on this card. If the special power refers to the chosen figure or the chosen figure's card, it refers to Earth-Man or Earth-Man's card instead.
I'm still tinkering with Braniac, but while I've got Legion on the brain, here's one of their villains.

He's a leader who used a twisted version of Superman's legacy to inspire the people of Earth into widespread xenophobia. He has his own Justice League made out of old Legion villains, control over the government of Earth, and was generally viewed as an all-around savior by the people of Earth. He can only copy a power for 12 hours, so he captures the Legionnaires so he can continually copy their powers. Years later turned hero and actually joined the Legion.

I could see Power Absorption getting unbalanced really quickly, all just depends on who he's going up against.

I was struggling the other day to come up with a starting point for Legion, but this might be one of the best choices. The Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes story in Action Comics is pretty self-contained and enjoyable. it has some references to the Lightning Saga crossover with the JLA/JSA, but other than that it's basically its own thing and I don't think you really need to know too much about the history of the characters.
 
Does he have some sort of tech that lets him do the power absorption or is he a metahuman?
