ABOMINATION (Emil Blonsky)

T-NOTES

The Abomination might be as strong as a calm Hulk, but not having the same adrenaline surge as the Hulk means that he is not nearly as formidable, and his healing factor isn't as robust. At the time of its creation, the Abomination was actually as strong as an enraged Hulk, but he has been significantly nerfed since. To keep the Abomination from being simply Hulk-lite, I gave him a little different feat selection and also the power of Suspended Animation, which activates automatically when he is exposed to conditions too deadly for even him to withstand.

T-NOTES

In some strange way, Absorbing Man is a lot like Plastic Man; both are built with a Variable power simulating their ability to change into various forms. For Creel, this involves touching an object or creature. His power gives him incredible diversity and combines both Object Mimicry and Mimic in that he can also copy the power of a superhero such as the Hulk by touching him.

Absorbing Man's weaknesses are two-fold. First, he acquires any drawbacks that his subject has and must use Object Mimicry to its full power, so if he copies a diamond, he gains its vulnerability to bludgeoning attacks, and if he touches the Hulk, Creel will revert back to his human form if he's not raging. Second, Creel is really dumb and easily tricked into mimicking something with an exploitable drawback.

ADAM WARLOCK

PL14

T-NOTES

Adam Warlock is about as cosmic as it gets. His own powers and physical traits are impressive, most notably his ability to form a cocoon around himself within which he can regenerate and accumulate his powers (Boost) in greater safety. With the Karmic Staff in hand, Warlock exhibits a finer degree of control over Cosmic Energy and can use it to stunt Deflect and Telekinesis. Adam Warlock's control over his own life force is such that he always resurrects if ever he dies.

The Soul Gem in Warlock's possession is one of the most powerful items in the Marvel Universe, offering him nearly total control over life. He can drain souls by storing them in the Soul Gem's Dimensional Pocket. Warlock can access the knowledge and memories of those trapped in the gem. Furthermore, he has mastered its use and can project energy blasts, create force constructs, and karmic stun blasts with the gem. However, the Soul Gem is possessed of a malevolent intelligence that feeds upon the souls of those it has captured or, in their absence, the life essence of its wielder. Use of the gem also interferes with Warlock's Cosmic Energy Control, probably due to this symbiotic relationship.

POWERS

T-NOTES

Angel is heavily-dependent on his Favored Environment bonus, although he is quite a competent combatant even when not airborne. Warren's secondary mutation affords him a healing factor that he can confer upon others through his blood, so long as his blood type matches that of his target. He has also used his blood to raise the newly dead. Angel can use his wings to simulate the Super-Breath power feat.

ANNIHILUS

T-NOTES

A good chunk of Annihilus' cost comes from his resources in Minions and Wealth as well as his spawning power; upon his death, Annihilus spawns several immature clones of himself, each built with 195pp. One of these eventually becomes the next Annihilus. The other item of interest is his Cosmic Control Rod, without which Annihilus becomes very mortal and very vulnerable but with which he has conquered many worlds. He can Boost any of his traits up to his PL caps.

Recently during the Annihilation event, Annihilus killed Quasar and took his Quantum Bands. At this moment, this is a temporary Device and may or may not become part of Annihilus' arsenal:

T-NOTES

With Shapeshift, Apocalypse can acquire any physical power he needs, which in combat usually includes some combination of Density, Elongation, Enhanced Strength, Flight, Growth, Insubstantial, Regeneration, and Strike. This pool includes 15pp of his physical ability scores, for a total of 30pp to spend. Apocalypse also gained some measure of mental or psionic ability, usually in the form of force blasts and teleportation. Apocalypse still prefers to wade into melee and no wonder; few beings can challenge him physically, and he always has the versatility to run circles around any physical threat.

Apocalypse's Four Horsemen keeps changing membership, so he essentially gets four 150pp Alpha-level mutants as his minions, usually enough to describe any X-Man he happens to recruit/brainwash. Mister Sinister has betrayed and plotted against Apocalypse so many times that he shouldn't be considered his Sidekick anymore.

Archangel is a deadlier, slightly less skilled incarnation of Angel. He does have a higher top speed due to his mechanical wings. Archangel is also able to use his wings to perform slashing attacks, to protect himself and others, and to fire neurotoxintipped feathers.
