Well her father was always described as "wealthy" and she was described as an heiress.

What were the changes that you made to Bucky's cs?

Mainly gave her Combat Reflexes and Enhanced Dodge, so she has a suitably cinematic Dodge. It boosted her from 150 to 210 points.

(I have to look at her OHOTMUDE #14 entry to see if she started off as an heir.) Once I figure out how she starts off pre-marriage in the Reboot, I'll take another look at the wealth.

Historically, in the early-80s, one of the factors that led Hank to get abusive was the realization that Janet was the sole means of income in the marriage, as his patents had expired and he hadn't come up with anything since Ultron and the Pym Particles, while she took her fashion and business talents and developed an international corporation. That he was already emotionally unstable when entering the marriage certainly didn't help; his Yellowjacket identity was originally a split personality.
My impression/understanding was that Janet was the heiress girlfriend whose cash let Pym do research, and the fact that he 'owed' her for those scientific opportunities grated on him, and was one of the factors that led to their divorce.

Thanks! Are you checking back over all the write-ups, or do you just have certain ones that you think need to be revisited?

Right now, I'm trying to avoid doing too much in the way of updating (this is a side project, after all ;) ). I am going over the write-ups where I know I fudged a lot or I know can benefit from what's in Supers (Cap, Iron Man, Invisible Woman, and Spider-Man all come to mind). I probably will look over the others as my schedule and motivation permit.

Role-Playing Notes:
Captain America often gives the appearance of a man out of time, but this is commonly a ruse. He is an honorable man who always tries to do what he feels is the right thing. He tries to ensure that people live lives free from fear; in World War II, he opposed Hitler, while in the 1950s he was openly critical of both McCarthy and the Communists. Nowadays he's openly critical of both Muslim extremists and the Religious Right movements.

Captain America's Shield
Cap's shield grants its wielder the following abilities:
  • Damage Resistance 150 (Directional: Front Only; Hardened +5)
  • Injury Tolerance: Damage Reduction, /10
  • DB 2
Furthermore, the shield is virtually unbreakable.


Edit: An update of an update! I've mostly increased his combat skill levels to the 20-25 range, lowered the number of techniques purchased, and added in a single Imbuement skill for his ability to ricochet the shield off corners.

Edit: Followed some optimization advice; dropped a slew of skills in favor of Fist! (DX/WC).

Cap doesn't really have a Secret Identity in the modern day.

Updated Spider-Man with info from GURPS Supers, as well as fixing the ST. Please note that I left his "non-powered" stats in the Attributes line.

I've been going through Ultra-Tech to try to build Iron Man's suit. Suggestions for how to price the suit's increased Lifting and Striking ST beyond the book's models? (the Iron Man suit I'm building from enables him to bench-press 70 tons while wearing it.)
