A young man transformed into a living battery by a chemical accident who stumbled into a life of crime. Now he possesses electrical powers and acidic blood. He also has a secret love for the superheroine Evergreen. Shakura is loyal to his teammates but not committed to being a supervillain and will favor his taser bolt over lightning in a fight. Side effect of his electrical attacks is stunning. For the taser bolt, a missed roll of 5 or more leads to unconsciousness.

Stanislas Laird was a British lord who inherited extraordinary weather control powers from the superhero Excalibur. Unfortunately he also inherited exceptional charm and possibly his poor moral character from one Brigadier Harry Flashman. Laird is at a glance a tall, handsome man who looks and acts the part of a Byronic hero. In reality he is a a lecher, bounder and cad. He is also a coward. He will play the part of the powerful supervillain but will be careful to hang back and keep himself safe. If things turn sour he will use his weather control powers to deter pursuit and make a quick escape. He's in it strictly for the money.

Last but call her least at your peril, Marion Henderson. When her powers manifested, her self esteem issues caused her to shrink. Time at a Buddhist monastery in Japan taught her to stop but not reverse the shrinking. She also acquired mind control powers and skill in the martial arts. Typically she will ride on the shoulder of individuals she has mind controlled. She is perfectly happy to resort to brawling if the occasion arises. Marion met Johnny Shakura while she was in Japan and helped recruit him to the Crushers. Note she does not have the Shrinking advantage as she is permanently shrunk.

Nicely done. To all those who are asking for pre-made Supers charactrs - here is a whole team!

Any plans to do more?

Thinking about it - might add the Crusaders as well if only to be complete. I've also been playing around with UNTIL from Champions - no practical purpose, I just find it a way to relax.

[David Johnston2]

Letting Temper leech hit points makes him more dangerous and still reflects what he actually does in V&V where energy can be used to soak damage. I hate his name. I always renamed him "Riot".

Bull is big enough to qualify for SM+1. What's with his damage? Are you using a house rule?

[Infornific]

Looking over the Crushers as a group -

They're not so much a team as an ad hoc assembly. Well organized PCs should get the upper hand and smart ones might figure out ways to subvert or reform some members. The module doesn't go into too much detail, but this is how I'd handle the relations between them.

FIST is just looking for an opportunity for payback. He's allied with the Mocker due to mutual benefit and mutual hostility to the Establishment.

The Mocker in turn is the closest thing the Crushers have to a leader. Which is probably not helpful given his emotional issues. I'd assume FIST helped him contact and recruit the other criminals.

The Mercury Mercenary, given his skill set and experience, would normally be the leader of such a group. However he is along just for a shot at an old archenemy (Enforcer.) For a more dangerous team, make him the leader.

Temper is dangerous but mentally unstable and unorganized. An overeager PC might use a little too much force taking him down. A smart one might be able to persuade him to seek proper treatment. I see him taking his daily drug via an inhaler (it's described as a chemical gas.)

The Vulture is a pretty sad case overall. Useful in a support/scouting role but weak in a stand up fight. Any PC figuring out his mental health issues might be able to get him proper treatment, albeit in a prison or asylum. His previous encounter with Manta-man is likely to make him suspicious of superheroes. Manta-man for his own reasons is hostile to criminals.

The Bull is a simple low end superstrong thug - not really much to him and easily outthought.

The Shrew and the Mace are both basically super muscle for hire. I'd assume they were already familiar with each and imagine them hanging out in a seedy bar, trading stories while waiting for a meeting with a client.

The Hornet is another sad case. PCs should get xps if they can figure out his issues and how to help. The "benefactors" are unnamed but presumably could be any supervillain group with ultra-tech resources. Intercrime or Crimetech in a V&V inspired campaign, Viper in a Champions inspired campaign, AIM in Marvel etc.

Shocker I'm assuming met with Marionette in Japan and she recruited him into criminal work. His somewhat creepy crush on a superheroine is giving him second thoughts. On the whole he seems a bit immature for his age - I'd consider making him a few years younger and a bit of a child prodigy who got his college degree while still in his teens.

Marionette will probably be easier to deal with if players avoid the urge to make bad jokes but that may be asking too much. I'm imagining her having something of a big sister relationship with Shocker.

Stormlord is the most powerful and most dangerous of the group. Fortunately he's the most cowardly and likely to flee in the face of serious resistance. Until then, he's likely to harass the PCs while staying hidden. He's a bit of a novice which probably explains why he isn't trying to take charge - yet. It's easy to imagine him putting together his own team of supervillains, providing they're not too smart or worldly.

CHESS is listed as an enemy for a number of these villains. That's out of V&V but could be replaced by any group of super agents - SHIELD, ARGUS, OSI, PRIMUS, UNTIL, etc.

Final note - V&V follows the old school comic book convention of characters having regular names that match up to their super identities. Alter that if you want a more serious tone.

Bull is big enough to qualify for SM+1. What's with his damage? Are you using a house rule?

I wasn't very happy with Temper's build - I'll see about tweaking it to leech hit points. And yes, "Riot" is a much better name.

Bull is Size +1 - I guess that didn't show up in the export but if you look at his ST, he gets the -10% discount for Size. I think damage is standard - Brawling adds +1 per die of Thrust damage. He has total Striking ST 80 for Thrust damage of 9d. Punch does Thrust-1 or 9d-1. Brawling adds +1 per die or +9 for a total of 9d+8 for a punch.

Might be simpler to just go with ST 20 and Super ST +9/70. That would boost maximum damage a little. Probably should add extra Fatigue if I go that route.
