_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - During the Secret Invasion, Skrull scientists used DNA samples from a number of Earth's heroes to create an army of Super-Skrulls. Son of Rm'twr, a Skrull killed by Carol Danvers before she became Miss Marvel, Rl'nnd was eager to avenge his father and prove his worth to the Skrull Empire. Outfitted with the powers of the X-Men Cyclops, Wolverine, Colossus, and Nightcrawler, he was appointed as an invasion leader, tasked with attacks on Black Bolt and the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. However, the Secret Invasion ultimately failed, and Rl'nnd befell the same fate as his father years ago, once again at the hands of Miss Marvel.

Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

NAME = Super-Skrull
SECRET IDENTITY = Rl'nnd

SPECIES = Skrull
UNIQUENESS = Unique Hero
CLASS = Champion
PERSONALITY = Vindictive
SIZE/HEIGHT = Medium 5

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 8
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 280

TACTICAL TELEPORT
After each attack with Super-Skrull, you may place him on any empty space within 3 spaces of his current placement. When Super-Skrull uses Tactical Teleport, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

FURIOUS CLAWS
Adjacent figures subtract 1 defense die when attacked by Super-Skrull. After attacking an adjacent figure, and after choosing whether or not to use Tactical Teleport, Super-Skrull may attack an adjacent figure one additional time.


STEEL SKIN
When rolling defense dice against a normal attack, Super-Skrull adds 1 automatic shield to whatever is rolled. Super-Skrull never rolls for lava field or molten lava damage.

SUPER STRENGTH SYMBOL


Spoiler Alert!

That's the X-Men mini, and I have him too. :)

Since these powers have all been used on other cards, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this design. :up:

Also, don't forget to add the fact that he inspires Skrull Warriors.
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

My initial thoughts:

Retractable Claws is a boring power name. Anyone got anything better?

Comic Art is pretty crappy. Another option:
Spoiler Alert!

Should his special power text say "this Super Skrull"? Technically I don't think it's needed, but it could work like Green Lantern since Super Skrull is more of an achieved rank than a superhero identity.

Ferocious Assault :D

I can't seem to find any other comic art. There's one other picture, but his head is cut off a bit. Everything is of the FF one, even when I search for the X-Men one.

This may be useful, but we'd have to go back and change all the powers on the other Super Skrull. Which consistency do we want?
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

I feel like the title of this thread should be "The Book of Super-Skrull (Rlnnd)" rather than X-Men. Just as a note. :D

No problems at all with the design, though I feel like it's a bit derivative... which, of course, makes sense, since it's a guy with the powers of other characters! But part of me wants to see one unique power added in there, though Retractable Claws sort of counts.

I don't really like Arrogant for a personality. I haven't read anything with him (he's been in like four comics, so sue me), but he seems a lot of things - Vengeful and Vindictive, since Ms. Marvel killed his father, Cunning and Conniving, by nature of his Skrull-ness, Ruthless, Merciless, and all that good stuff.

Oh, one other thing - Super-Skrull is generally written out with the hyphen. But the C3G Kl'rt wasn't. Should we go with the more accurate hyphen, or omit it for consistency?

I like Vindictive as a personality. New and unique. 8)

I'd say stay consistent.

Not really unique, since Doctor Light has it. :p I don't recommend any new Personalities unless I think the character really warrants it - I'm still trying to find a way to get Cynical on someone.

Well, then it's not new and we can use it. :D
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

Will be updating in a sec... hold on! :D

RETRACTABLE CLAWS
Adjacent figures subtract 1 from their defense when attacked by Super Skrull. When Super Skrull attacks, he may attack one additional time as long as he attacks an adjacent figure.

OP looks great. :) Here's a slight wording tweak recommendation:

Absolutely agree on the update for the title of the thread.
I'm cool with this guy as derivative - it matches the character and it's a fun combo of powers that should create a unique playing experience.
I think the claw power needs to mention the claws in it somewhere, but we can certainly update the title (see my suggestion above).
I like Vindictive for the personality and it seems to be a popular choice so far.
If Super-Skrull is right, let's just do Super-Skrull and update the other card.
I don't think a "this" is needed in the text.
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

I am really happy with this card and its direction. I would not be surprised at all if this design flies through the process, though there is a lot up for testing right now too...
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

Yeah, there are one or two more things I might do initials for, and two things I still want to run a few extra tests for, but after all of that, I'm going to try to help out with public tests for a bit.
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

I wonder if he shouldn't have a range of 7 to let Cyclops keep a slight edge there.
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

I wonder if he shouldn't have a range of 7 to let Cyclops keep a slight edge there.
That would be a thematic choice IMO. Just now I was thinking about this buy and what figures could be incorperated, and range would let both Jean Grey and Cyclops be represented in a way. Also, how about flying? Angel exists you know...
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

It's not like he has every X-Man's powers, just Cyclops, Wolverine, Colossus, and Nightcrawler IIRC.

Oh, well if he can't fly in the comics I suppose he doesn't need the Flying symbol. But yes, Cyclops should be represented. 4 figures were represented with the other Super-Skrull.
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

Cyclops is represented with the range. I was just wondering if he shouldn't be slightly less effective than Cyclops.
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

Cyclops is represented with the range. I was just wondering if he shouldn't be slightly less effective than Cyclops.
Range 7 or even 6 seems fair, since he's slightly less effective in the fields of Wolverine and Nightcrawler (I think Steel Skin is the same).
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

I really like the OP. :) Another power you had at one point that I really liked on him was the Teleport Barrage one. I'd almost rather see something like that give him more flexibility than Bamf! which the power name seems like a really Nightcrawler specific effect.

TACTICAL TELEPORT
After attacking with Super-Skrull, you may choose an empty space within 3 spaces of Super Skrull. Place Super Skrull on the chosen space. When Super Skrull starts to Tactical Teleport, if he is engaged he will not take any leaving engagement attacks. Super Skrull may add 5 spaces to his Bamf! movement. If he does, he cannot attack this turn.

So attack with range, teleport, attack with claws. Or attack with claws, teleport and attack with claws again. That would be really fun. :)

Depending on the timing of it, I'd love to grab the initial test on this guy once he's ready. I've had the figure for a long time and this design has been on my radar.
 
Re: Book of Super Skrull (X-Men) DESIGN PHASE

From what I know, his beam powers were less powerful and more controlled than Cyclops', but more precise. So I feel like dropping his range would be the wrong direction to go.

Tactical Teleport, on the other hand, seems like a really cool ability. I'm not sure if I'd want to remove the ability to move normally, though... maybe go with this?

CLAW FLURRY
Adjacent figures subtract 1 from their defense when attacked by Super-Skrull. After attacking with Super-Skrull, he may move with his Bamf! special power and attack one additional time as long as he attacks an adjacent figure.

Although Teleport Barrage would be great, Tactical Teleport offers an aspect that makes Super-Skrull unique, so that's my prominent choice.

Well he'd be able to move with Tactical Teleport each turn regardless if he actually attacks.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to say give him Teleport Barrage SA. Just say give him the ability to move between attacks with his teleport power.

Fair enough, although Teleport Barrage wouldn't be a bad idea.

True, but as written, he wouldn't be able to use it in place of his normal movement, which I think is pretty important - what use is BAMF! if you can't use it to get the drop on someone?

Oh, and I found TWO PICTURES of a bunch of Super-Skrulls, with some X-Men themed guys in the mix. Second one looks like a fairly good match, but he doesn't have any claws or eye-beams. Of course, the current pic doesn't have claws either.
