Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well...

Lesse...
FDR:
IQ: 17
ME: 18
MA: 30
PS: 4
PE: 5
PP: 4
PB: 15
Spd: 3
Just goes to show you don't need to be great physically to be a hero. and I would say that FDR has an MA of 30. We're talking about someone who was virtually deified within his own lifetime.

As a historical figure, I would have 30's in all stats.

Very interesting.
I wondered if someone would try to create stats for FDR. There are other people I've always wanted to do: Adolf Hitler, JFK, Martin Luther King, Jr., Winston Churchhill, Stalin, Mao, Gandhi, Einstein, etc. Especially for a Heroes Unlimited World War II or 1960s counterculture campaign.
Yes, it's true, you don't have to have super abilities to be a hero.

Though mentioning specifics will shut down this thread, you might look at other game systems for realistic stats and to see what they thought the figures would be like.
Damn ICE/BCP/BorderPatrol! Damn everyone who won’t damn ICE/BCP/Border Patrol!! Damn everyone that won’t put lights in his windows and sit up all night damning CE/BCP/BorderPatrol!!!
If you support ICE/BCP/BorderPatrol at this point, you would have called the Gestapo on the people surreptitiously moving into your neighbor's attic and huffed that you were only following the law.

I'd like to see Ghengis Khan, Billy the Kid, Vlad the Impaler, William Wallace, Alexander the Great, Einstein, Rasputin.
I'd imagine many of the pantheon gods were inspired by living legends who were just exceptional humans who were really really good at what they did. A few generations of story telling embellished and exaggerated them into godhood.
