Create a hero. Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Ok here is where you make your own super hero/villian.

You have a total of 11pts to spend on your super hero/villain. You can only pick each power once. You can stack a set of strength and superspeed powers though for example. You paid 1pt for vast strength, then you can pay 2 pts for super strength so your character can lift 75 tons. Once you have picked your powers if you want to can give a brief description of what the character is suppose to do. If you have to change something about your character please use the edit button. If we get enough posts maybe we can run some sort of tourney or something to see whom created the best character. Other than that... just have fun. The hero’s name next to the power are there for association only.

this seems like too much work

just give me one with a 12 inch penis- ability to go invisible and see through clothing ability. Flying would be a bonus as well.

that's all I need.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Here, I'll give an example. (I yanked this from another board, can you tell?)

Apollonius of Tyana

7pts- high-level magic user (dr. strange)
2pt- Marksman master (green arrow, bullseye)
2pt- Healing factor-can heal fatal wounds within a day




Now known as Adam Tyne, this comtemporary of Jesus was once treated as a minor God in Anatolia. Tapping into Occult powers granted to him by Apollo, he extended his life greatly, and aquired Apollo's marksmanship..

In 98 AD he and an Egyptian Mystic battled the last Chimera of Lycia. During the battle, the Egyptian Mystic was killed and Apollonius was nearly destroyed.


He spent much of the next thousand years exploring the known world. Finally, he traveled to Vinland in 1104, and battled the Lambton Worm, which had followed the Vikings from Britain. After the Vinland colony was abandoned, Apollonius remained in the Western Hemisphere, traveling and expaning his knowledge.

Today, Apollonius lives in San Diego under the name "Adam Tyne."

After reviewing the list, some of the skills don't seem as important. Marksmanship for instance... this is something that can be gained through practice and experience. Why waste skill points on something that you can do on your own?

Okay, I'm bored, so I'll play this little game

But I still want that 12 inch penis.

But I don't think that is one of the options, so here it goes:

3pt-Invisibility-Temporary- can be invisible for a couple of hours
3pt- Flight
1pt super senses-Sight, hearing, smell, and touch (daredevil, wolverine)- this is sure to make sex better
1pts-x-ray vision (superman)
2pt-Shapeshifting (mystique)- assuming this means I can turn into any real creature (past or present) and have its strength

I only have 1 point left. I don't need long jump if I can fly. I guess I'll go with vast strenght. Even though I can shapechange into stronger creatures, it would be nice to have vast strength in my natural form.

1pt-vast strength-25tons


Name: Dissident
Purpose: to have as much sex with as many women as possible. Track down and torture bad people in my spare time

Origin: Las Vegas. He's a badass who also spent 8 years in the navy. . Then, upon contact with a rare element from a fallen meteorite that fell in his backyard, he came onto these special powers.

Zephyr
Shapeshifting air elemental.

3pt- Chi control- the ability to create temporary force fields also gives ability to destroy solid objects with bare hands with no injury (Grail, iron fist)
3pt- Teleportation- can teleport short distances
3pt- Phasing- Can pass through walls (shadowcat)
2pt- Shapeshifting (mystique)


Since ancient times, the winds have been revered as powerful living things to be respected and feared. The ancients believed Gods controlled the winds, and would pray that the winds would be kind to them. Unknown to them, another creature lurked in the atmosphere's of the earth - Zephyr. Assuming the name of the West Wind, he comes and goes where he pleases in the guise of a falcon usually, but when he wishes so, he can morph into any other creature's form, and take on its likeness.

Originally a wandering merchant, the man who would become Zephyr was cursed by a Djinn in the deserts of Arabia to an eternal life of lonliness and misery (readers of Stephen Donaldson might be ahead of the game here) - anyway, using his newfound free time, Zephyr perfected the art of perfect awareness and control over his Chi and Ki. He was freed from mortal form and became a spirit like the Djinn that had cursed him.
Now he uses a combination of phasing and teleportation to keep the mean streets free from evildoers, by outwitting them and generally dodging anything that might be thrown his way. But no mere policeman is he, for the petty riff-raff that other heroes deal with are too easy prey. Zephyr is more in the Apolcalypse-prevention line of work, and does a damn good job of it: after all, we are still all here.

Lord Nycon

After living in the lap of luxury in his European Palace, Lord Nycon wanted more to life. Going to super-elite parties in one of his dozens of custom built sports cars, and getting laid by multiple anonymous super modles each night wasnt thrilling him anymore.

He began his search for adventure in greece. In an archaelogical dig he had pursued, he unearthed the Challice of the Fallen from the Gates of Fire. The losing spartans fought for what seemd an entnity. They had long run out of water. When individuals could momentarily retreat from the pass, they would pass the chalice around, and drink the only thing they could, the blood of their fallen comrades. In this battle, the challice was somehow imbued with the Spartans' combined endurance, strength, tenaciousness, and ferocity.

Lord Nycon obtained the dried spartan blood, that somhow remained preserved on the surface of the challice, adn prepared a crude mixture that contained that blood and blood that created to be identical using stem cells and genetic engineering.

Lord Nycon immediately was struck down into a terrible seizure before dropping into a comma. His body was found several days later... somehow still alive... but barely. After a year of being in a coma, he mysteriously vanished from the hospital he was being held. It was thought his body was taken for ransom... then none never came. Then others began to speculate he had awoken one night, and was mad, escaping only to roam as a crazed lunatic...

Yet the truth be known!!! Lord Nycon is an international vigilante, persuing his dream of adventure with his newfound powers of the Spartan warrior!

The shapeshifting template is Mystique. Mystique can't become more massive than she is, therefore, her strength would reamin the same.
