Enter...the Villains!

OK, starting a new thread on the new forums...

Because every superhero needs a villain or two to break up the monotony of the day with...

First up...Robitron! A tyrannical robotic dictator from beyond the stars, he's sure to make life tough for even the bravest hero!

Next up...Gauntlet! He could have been a hero, but his bad decisions put him on the opposite side of the law. He's a character that the PCs might know in his regular identity of Dr. Richard Pryce, and he may even be helpful to them. But once he becomes Gauntlet, the gloves (so to speak) are off!

Nice!

I like Gauntlet... but his helmet is missing something... I have no idea what... just is.

Thanks! I know what you mean, though...the helmet needs a little more detail, maybe, to match the gauntlets a bit better, but I couldn't come up with anything in fabrica.

Yeah it has it's limits

Perfect. With all the heroes getting posted, its great to see some more villains around - you know, to give them something to shine against!

And now...the Ice Queen! Beautiful, cold and deadly, she's vicious enough for a street-level campaign, but could well be part of a supervillain team in a higher-powered game.

I like Ice Queen... great name too... lord knows I have dated one or two over the years

Adding some new villains! This fellow belongs to ZODIAC, an international crime cartel with twelve supervillains as full members. He's meant to be sort of a Deathstroke type of character...rich and suave as Andrew Plummer, ruthless as Aries.

Another member of ZODIAC... Gemini has potential to be a heroine, but is loyal to a fault to the cartel. Of course, if some innovative PCs were to show her the depth of their villainy (and keep her parents safe), she might be convinced to switch sides!

Very nice! I always love the Zodiac concept, and I find something very nice and classic about Gemini in particular.

Thanks!

They're kind of a fun villain group to plot out.

Next up: Taurus! The mighty warrior is sure to make life tough for even the mightiest hero...

These are cool. I like them much better than the Zodiac from Marvel back in the 70s.

I remember those guys! I was never quite sure how they fit the definition of "super" villain...they always seemed to be pretty pedestrian, more like guys who might give Daredevil a bad time, but the Mighty Avengers...?

Glad you like my take on the concept!

When you get this batch done, feel free to put them up on the "Archetypes" thread on rpg.net- I really like them!
PS- I know you do this in MS Word- how do you get it from a word doc into an image format?
