It was Blue Hair, The Cuttlefish, The Bag Lady and The Mighty Static Man

I am going to logically deduce that it's the Cuttlefish...
...but we'll wait and see if I'm correct or not......

Man, the only one I can really remember is Bomber! If you can remember any of the others help jar my memory.

I have plans for a Fission and Psi-fire appearance though....

Nimbus will be popping up at some point too.

Psi-fire is tough, but fission is all but impossible without breakin rules.

i like your use of Wolfies blood trick.

i see him as mystically bestowed and the "accident" is what brought about his "mutant" ability's.

either way you either have to revamp the character or break the rules ...alot.

Dramatis Personae

Ameriforce
The Player characters
Rhodan (experiment with power touch, superhuman strength, ex. p.e. and ex. spd)
Arcana (Mystic studies with military specialist training)
Lucia (supersoldier with APS: Light, heightened sense of awareness and solar power)

NPCs
Daniel "The Interceptor" McCabe, government agent in charge of Ameriforce and the team liason to Congress.

The Enforcers, a superhero team under the employ of Psi-Tech Industries.

Disrupter, secretly Psi-tech's president Jason Archfeld, disrupter employs a power armor with a super invention rifle capable of temporarily robbing superbeings of their powers.

Wolfbat, a supersoldier whose only recollection of his past life are foggy memories of a wife and child he longs to find again. His powers include cybernetic claws, nearly impenetrable skin, the ability to glide on thermals, superhuman strength and intense assassin training.

Comet, a former championship boxer whose powers manifested in the ring, causing him to accidentally kill an opponent. He is a mutant with sonic flight, power channeling and detonation.

Starfire, a former Vegas callgirl who helped Comet connect with the mutant underground, they both later joined the Enforcers and became legitimate heroes after a short time working as a vigilante duo against organized crime in Las Vegas. She has APS: Fire and extraordinary physical beauty. Older sister to firefly, a mutant stripper the group knows from D.C.

After a frantic emergency call from Gramercy Island. the Ameriforce Blue Team and the Enforcers race toward the South Pacific Island in the Enforcers' supersonic transport. On the way they pose and try to answer a few burning questions and get a better handle on the situation.

First, they ask why the heroes of nearby Century Station (in my game an independent island nation founded by megacorporations...think Genosha meets the Seattle Megaplex of Shadowrun), including the famed Centurions, haven't joined the fray on the island. Turns out that many of the more powerful villians, particularly ones who could fly, teleport or otherwise, have already escaped, including most of the Slaughterhouse Seven. The Centurions and other heroes on the island are involved in a full-pitched battle in the streets against supervillians who have already gotten out.
Former prisoners Brittania and the Dynosaurs are assisting security. Something's wrong with the island's robot defenses, but no one knows what.
A villian known as Bughouse, instead of leaving the island, has caused a large segment of Alphaville to riot for no apparent reason other than sheer carnage.
Just about any villian who got out of their containment before a modicum of the security systems could be restored are storming the entry point to the prison, trying to gain access to the harbor in hopes of obtaining a boat. Many others, have struck out at the the armory to reclaim favorite weapons, power armors and the like.

As the group arrives at the island they receive reports that every major superhero team is on the way to assist. They just have to hold the fort for a little while longer.
Gramercy Island security is reestablishing their security protocols, including robotic defenses. The group lands at administration to get scanned in so robots recognize them as friendlies. Then they are to assist in the securing of the main processing entryway onto the island.
Ameriforce takes one side and the Enforcers take on the other.

Going through personnel quarters that have been nearly destroyed, the group helps rescue trapped workers and security guards who literally didn't know what hit them.
They find a superstrong escapee who apparently believes that its the intention of the government to nuke Gramercy Island to get rid of the supervillians trapped there so they don't have to worry about keeping them secure anymore. This explains why the supervillians are so keen on getting off the island beyond the normal desire to escape. They believe this is all a plot to kill them!

Using some good diplomacy and charisma the group convinces the brute that there's no such plot and that he should calm down before he gets a stiffer sentence...not quite a hardened criminal (yet), he complies.

However, their next foes won't be so easily placated.
The group, going over the wall into the prison itself, discover Shatterhands and Coppertop assaulting that side of the defenses.
Coppertop has already toppled a security tower and the two are preparing to blast through the tired, weary dynosaurs who are holding the through-way to the harbor.

Shatterhands doesn't last long, as Lucia blinds him, McCabe grenades him, and Rhodan does a fullspeed power touch charged punch.

That leaves Coppertop...and that's where the fun begins.
The first several attacks by all the the team, united, don't pierce coppertop's metal body. Rhodan bounces off at full speed, he shakes off Arcana's spells, McCabe's laser rifle and Lucia's photon blasts.
In two powerful blasts he takes out the forcefield belt Lucia is wearing.
A simultaneous attack against Rhodan puts Rhodan into a nearby wall, BUT Rhodan was able to crack his armored skin, giving the group some relief as they were beginning to fear he was invulnerable.
It's like somebody threw a switch. Suddenly everyone is topping his AR. Arcana with a (natural 20) long-burst from her M-16, McCabe with a grenade and Lucia with her photon blasts. After Rhodan hits him with another high-speed super uppercut, Coppertop decides discretion is the better part of valor and turns into a lightningbolt and rockets into the sky. After the nuclear blast lightining is falling all over the place in an unnatural storm caused by the heat of the blast over the ocean, so tracking Coppertop is impossible....
They stop and help the Dynosaurs, Rhodan using his powertouch to heal Portia, who's near death.
Then they meet up with the Enforcers and Brittania, who have destroyed Iron Warmonger, the one member of the SLaughterhouse Seven who was unable to leave the island.
Security has gotten reports that there are some escapees still in the super human containment wing. It's believed that the Bodyshots are somewhere nursing their wounds after getting a vicious beating by the Slaughterhouse Seven at the Harbor (the two groups were fighting over the last boat). Also, it's rumored that the Fun Bunch has several security personnel prisoner and may be torturing them to death in either the unbuilt portions of the island or the visitor's center.

That, and it'll still be a while before help arrives.....but the question still remains: Who set off the nuclear blast and why?

I'm assuming your using COH/COV for your character generator/pictures.

Or were they 'Deux ex machina' who could do whatever nessecary?

Chun Lah is built as someone who started out as a dedicated martial artist using the white fan martial art who later switched to the true immortal path. She has a varja that supplies her with endless white fans, they disappear within an hour, and do 2D6, but beside that and her having an unlimited supply, they don't have any other special abilities.

Long Lu is a straight taoist immortal at the "Ride the Dragon" level of achievement.

Thanx!

Do they understand that the lemurians are able to control Dagon due to his head wound Horus gave him, and the "coral" they've grown in there?

i've been reading the HU forums for a while, but just tonight i finally read this thread. for some reason i thought the title didn't sound interesting, but that'll teach me to judge a thread by its title!!

this game is thrilling to read, and i wish it was a full novel, i'd spend 5.95 to read it.
or, if i could play in a game one third this exciting and interesting.
