[QUOTE=tbrock1031]and now for my favorite build so far...
Hulk ST Super Effort is going to be +300% (not +400%), and is rather high. I use absorptive DR for his "anger". That way damage translates into extra character points that are channeled directly into more ST. |

"Strength Level: ... The average Atlantean male can lift (press) about 4 tons in air; at the very least, Andromeda can lift (press) 14 tons in air." Right there. Atlanteans entry: "Compared to the average air-breather, the average Atlantean is about 10 times stronger." Kinda hard to argue against it being laid out in black and white. :) Truthfully, though, I don't want to pick nits about these guys. In this Reboot Project of mine, this is how I envision the Atlanteans. I see their strength coming from the fact that they're swimming effortlessly though high-pressure water on the ocean floors; this will translate into higher ST scores. My own entry places them at ST 23 on average, which is far below the 4 ton range (that's about the bench-press 850 lbs. mark). A more accurate-to-the-source entry would have been an average ST 70. As it is, ST 23 is on par with Captain America. Let's just leave it at that, shall we?

Re: [Supers] GURPS Unofficial Handbook to the Marvel Universe, Reboot Edition
INVISIBLE WOMAN
Real Name: Susan Storm. Occupation: Paramedic, medical technician, registered nurse, adventurer. Identity: Publicly known. Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record. Other Aliases: Invisible Girl. Place of Birth: Glenville, Long Island, New York. Marital Status: Engaged to be married. Known Relatives: Franklin (father), Mary (mother, deceased), Jonathan "Johnny" (alias Human Torch, brother). Group Affiliation: Fantastic Four. Base of Operations: The Fantastic, known space; the Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City. History: Susan Storm is the oldest of two children born to physician Franklin Storm. Growing up, her interest in her father's work led him to train her as his assistant from a young age. By the age of 18, she had already become a registered nurse and paramedic, despite not having gone through any official schooling. When her father was hired by NASA to supervise the medical experts for the "Fantastic Voyage" project, a manned test of the experimental hyperspace drive system, he pulled some strings to get Susan to join him. It was then that she first met Reed Richards, the scientist who worked out the theories behind the drive system (see Mister Fantastic). Despite being eleven years his junior, Sue became enamored with the man, and a romance blossomed. (For their first date, she took him scuba diving.) As the day of the first flight of Reed's experimental ship, the Fantastic, approached, Sue volunteered to be the on-board medic. During the first test of the hyperspace drive, what was supposed to be a quick run from Earth to Mars and back, the shields on board proved unable to withstand the unusual radiation of hyperspace. The four crewmembers – Reed, Sue, her brother Johnny (who was the ship's mechanic), and pilot Ben Grimm – were bombarded with radiation the ship could not keep out (see Human Torch, Thing). It was only due to a last-minute jury-rig of Johnny's that the ship was able to return to Earth. Not long afterwards, Sue, along with the other three that were on board the Fantastic, manifested their powers, with Sue taking the name Invisible Woman. Not long afterwards, he accepted Reed's proposal to form the super-team known as the Fantastic Four. Height: 5' 6". Weight: 120 lbs. Eyes: . Hair: . Strength Level: The Invisible Woman possesses the normal human strength of a woman her age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise. Known Superhuman Powers: The Invisible Woman has the psionic ability to manipulate photons for a variety of effects, including the rendering of herself and other objects invisible, and the construction of invisible force fields. By a simple act of concentration, she can cause all wavelengths of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light to bend around her without distortion, giving the overall effect that she is invisible. Through practice, she has learned to extend this ability to other people and objects. She is able to see normally even when she is invisible, as are anyone else she is making invisible at the time. The means by which she sees while invisible is instinctive, as she was able to see the first time she turned invisible. Theoretically, she is able to turn other objects that have been made invisible by other means visible by using her own invisibility powers, but she has yet to succeed in doing so. By concentrating on the photons in the far ultraviolet frequencies, she is able to turn them into solid, invisible constructs, which she can form in a number of shapes. Note that Sue is not able to alter the wavelengths of the photons she manipulates. Abilities: Susan Storm has medical knowledge rivaling that of a practicing physician. 1200 points Attributes: ST 11 [10]; DX 11 [20]; IQ 13 [60]; HT 11 [10].

Re: [Supers] GURPS Unofficial Handbook to the Marvel Universe, Reboot Edition
IRON MAN
Real Name: Anthony "Tony" Stark. Occupation: Inventor, industrialist. Identity: Secret. Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record. Other Aliases: None. Place of Birth: Long Island, New York. Marital Status: Single. Known Relatives: Howard (father, deceased), Maria (mother, deceased), Morgan (cousin). Group Affiliation: Avengers. Base of Operations: Los Angeles, California. History: Anthony Stark, only son of industrialist Howard Stark, discovered his technical prowess at a very young age. A child prodigy, by the age of 21 he had graduated M.I.T. with multiple Masters of Engineering degrees. During the War on Terrorism, Tony enlisted in the United States Army, and was assigned to a unit in Afghanistan. While there, he made friends with helicopter pilot Jim Rhodes. Tony told Rhodes that if he ever got tired of the military that he would be more than willing to hire him (see Rhodes, Jim). While on patrol in the Afghanistan mountains, Tony's convoy was ambushed and Tony taken prisoner by a group of foreign fighters who called themselves the Ten Rings (see Ten Rings). During the ambush, however, shrapnel entered Tony's heart; only the efforts of a man named Yinsen, also a captive of the Ten Rings, enabled Tony to survive. While in captivity, the Ten Rings attempted to coerce Tony into building newer advanced weapons for them. Tony built first a miniaturized ARC reactor, based off the design of the larger prototype powering the Stark Industries Los Angeles plant, to power an electromagnet keeping the shrapnel out of his heart (see Stark Industries). The ARC reactor in his chest, however, was only a stepping stone in his plan; with Yinsen's help, he built a suit of armor – the Iron Man Mk I suit – which was powered off the reactor. Yinsen died buying time for the suit to become fully operational. Following his escape from captivity and the debriefing by the military and various intelligence agencies concerning his captivity and the means of said escape, he was given a medical discharge. One of the first things he did after getting home was build a more sophisticated ARC to power his heart, and then built a device to replace his damaged heart. Finding out that his father had died while he was in captivity overseas (Tony's mother had died years before), Tony was determined to keep the family company, Stark Industries, out of his amoral and corrupt cousin Morgan's hands (see Stark, Morgan). Morgan wasn't thrilled to learn that Tony had devised a means of cheating death. Using her underworld contacts, she placed a contract on Tony's life. Tony first learned of this when Stark Industries security personnel apprehended an assassin who had infiltrated the SI electronics plant he was touring. Using the suit he'd devised in Afghanistan as a base, Tony built a more advanced suit of Iron Man armor for his own protection and as a means of tracking down the person responsible for this price on his head. Upon learning that Morgan Stark was responsible, Tony, as Iron Man, was responsible for bringing her to justice. The assassination contracts were quickly removed once Morgan's assets were seized, preventing her from paying. Publicly, Iron Man is Stark's personal bodyguard. Only Jim Rhodes, who has recently accepted Tony's offer of employment, is aware that Stark and Iron Man are one and the same. While most of his time is spent in California, Iron Man is a founding member of the Avengers, who are based in New York (see Avengers). Height: 6' 1" Weight: 225 lbs Eyes: Blue Hair: Black Strength Level: Tony Stark possesses the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise. The Iron Man suit he wears increases his strength to enable him to lift (press) around 70 tons. Known Superhuman Powers: None. Other Abilities: Tony Stark is a noted inventor of ultra-tech weaponry and electronics. Disabilities: Tony Stark's heart has been damaged by shrapnel, and he has a mechanical unit surgically implanted which works off his implanted miniaturized ARC reactor to pump the blood instead of his heart, which has since stopped. He is currently on the waiting list for a suitable transplant. Weapons: The Iron Man armor worn by Tony Stark possesses three main built-in weapons. The first are what he calls 'repulsors', which are short-range weapons built into the palms of the armor (originally intended as a kind of flight stabilizer for the suits). The second is a chest-mounted "uni-beam" centered around the casing for the ARC reactor in Tony's chest, which acts as a searchlight, oversized repulsor, and particle beam. The third weapon is a special emitter he calls a "pulsar" which fires particle bolts that grow stronger the farther they travel. Tony has also used a number of other weapons, most notably a number of unguided and guided rockets and a set of needlers that can retract into the suit's shoulders. Paraphernalia: The Iron Man armor Tony wears is capable of sustaining a tremendous amount of damage, is able to fly through rockets in the boots at speeds up to Mach 2, enables him to see in both the infrared and ultraviolet ranges, has a built-in radar permitting him to track 9 objects at once, and has an internal air supply of 12 hours. The Mark III stealth armor has a coating which absorbs radar waves, and a holographic emitter which enables him to remain hidden warping light around him. The armor can even be controlled via remote-control for short periods of time, usually when Stark and Iron Man have to appear in public together. Tony is constantly updating his armor.

There's not much to add to that. (Suit stats replaced and relegated to a later post.)

Re: [Supers] GURPS Unofficial Handbook to the Marvel Universe, Reboot Edition
MISTER FANTASTIC
Real Name: Dr. Reed Richards. Occupation: Scientist, adventurer. Identity: Publicly known. Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record. Other Aliases: None. Place of Birth: Central City, California. Marital Status: Single. Known Relatives: Nathaniel (father; deceased). Group Affiliation: Fantastic Four. Base of Operations: The Fantastic, known space; the Baxter Building, Manhattan, New York City. History: When Reed Richards was attending college, he already had the basis of a theory that would allow for faster-than-light travel, building on the equations of Steven Hawking and others. He told his college roommates, Ben Grimm and Victor von Duum, of these plans; in response to this, Grimm half-jokingly volunteered to pilot the first manned craft (see Doctor Doom; Thing). Reed and Victor argued incessantly over the scientific calculations; while Reed saw this as simply a friendly exchange of ideas, Victor saw otherwise. In anger one day, Vic stormed out of the room; this was the last Reed saw of him for several years. After several years of working for various scientific think-tank firms and aerospace firms, Reed and Ben, working for NASA, finally developed a working prototype of the stardrive. While the drive was being installed on a space shuttle frame, which Reed named the Fantastic, he met and began dating Sue Storm, whose father, Franklin, was the chief medical officer of the project. Sue's younger brother, Johnny, eventually joined the staff as a mechanic (see Human Torch, Invisible Woman). During the first test of the hyperspace drive, what was supposed to be a quick run from Earth to Mars and back, the shields on board proved unable to withstand the unusual radiation of hyperspace. The four crewmembers – Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben– were bombarded with radiation the ship's shielding could not keep out. It was only due to a last-minute jury-rig of Johnny's that the ship was able to return to Earth. (Reed has since analyzed the radiation and adjusted the shields on the Fantastic accordingly.) Not long after, Reed and the others manifested their superhuman powers. Since then, Reed has divided him time between working on a cure for Ben Grimm, his blossoming romance with Sue, his graduate studies professor position at Empire State University, and leading the Fantastic Four. Height: 6' 1". Weight: 180 lbs. Eyes: Brown. Hair: Brown with white temples. Uniform: Dark blue bodysuit with a stylized 4 on the left breast, white belt, white gloves, white boots. Strength Level: Mr. Fantastic has the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise. Known Superhuman Powers: Reed possesses the ability to expand, reshape, and retract any portion of his body. He is able to stretch his extremities to 10 times their original length, bend any part of his body in any shape, compact to become a large ball, or expand and thin himself out to become akin to a trampoline. His body naturally absorbs impacts; even bullets don't do more than scratch him. Other Abilities: Reed Richards is acknowledged as one of the smartest men on Earth – perhaps even the smartest. He is a genius in both nuclear and astrophysics, focusing on the theoretical aspects of both. He has developed a number of scientific advancements, most notably the faster-than-light drive installed on the Fantastic, and the unstable molecules from which the Fantastic Four's uniforms are composed of.
