Butt floss? Am I missing something?

In any case, I eagerly anticipate your take on her.

Mid 1990s, right after her body-swap, the artists drew her one-shoulder ninja outfit as having a thong. Seems it was all the rage among aspiring Image artists.

Things like that which happen on a case-by-case basis I really don't see the need for detailing a dozen different abilities when one will suffice.

Now, the actual level of 10 may or may not vary; I like 10 on all my creators/controllers for its simplicity.
Not sure I ever saw an answer to this question, really - what characteristics do the Force Fields actually created through the Create ability, as opposed to with the Innate Attack with Wall, have? The level of Create defines the area and size available, I suppose (although they have no weight, so even that's in question), but what's their DR, for example?

Here's a new question for you... what's the timeline of your rebooted MU here?

Presumably, if Peter Parker and a bunch of the original X-Men are all students at ESU, that keeps the time since the FF's space flight at no more than 7-8 years or so, unless maybe Peter is already pursuing grad studies. Figure Peter is a sophomore in high school when he gets bit by the radioactive spider, and no more than a senior undergrad at present, so that's six years of Spider-Man history; figure the FF debut no more than a year before Spider-Man, so that gives us 7 years of modern (as opposed to WWII) superheroics. Extend the time slightly if Peter (and probably Hank McCoy as well) have got their BS degrees and stayed at ESU to pursue their Masters and Ph.D. degrees under Dr. Connors' tutelage.

I've hinted at this in the various entries, but I should probably lay it out clearly.

I'm pretty much listing the first "year" of the universe. Parker got bit during his freshman orientation at ESU, and the FF made their first flight at about the same time. Parker and the X-Men are pursuing their Bachelors degrees at the moment, essentially having just started college.

I think I overrode this build with a later one (using Modular Abilities instead of Create), rendering such questions moot.

As it is, I can't remember what kinds of stats I'd had for her original Create build.

If the X-Men are in college in their 'first year', did they ever run around in costume when they were actually going to Xavier's school, or was that just where they learned to use their powers and they didn't start having adventures until they graduated?

Nothing "published". But then, their graduating class at Xavier's "mutant high" was more than just five students; probably closer to 20.

Well, that makes sense... does Xavier keep in touch/keep his eye on them as a professor of genetics at ESU, perhaps? And with the type of inherited/invested using really insider knowledge money needed to equip the X-Mansion in the original comics, I suppose Xavier could have also endowed a wing of some academic building there at ESU as well... with a secret subbasement, perhaps.

I haven't really finished Chuck's role in the Reboot beyond "headmaster of the world's most renowned mutant high", but I don't see much in the way of professor at ESU with his duties at the X-Mansion. I kinda had the idea that Warren would be funding the X-Men this time out.

In the original comics, it kinda helped that Chuck married an alien empress....
