BASH 4th Edition Champions

[Solarblast]

Getting rather quiet around here so I thought I would post some more character conversions. Here are the Ultimates from Champions. First up is Slick.

Background/History:Born and raised in southern California, Rick Powell grew up on the beach, swimming, surfing, playing frisbee and volleyball, and flirting with beautiful women. To keep himself supplied with surfboards, fast cars, and spending money, he got into dealing drugs just pot at first, but soon he branched out into harder drugs. Convinced that if he could find “the next crack,” he’d be set for life, he began concentrating on designer drugs. As a point of pride, he personally tested each one, so he could describe its effects to his clients. It paid off; he built a big customer base and was raking the money in.
Then one of his suppliers sold him an all-new drug. “Hot stuff, man,” the guy said. “Fresh from the lab no one else has this.” Rick gave it a try, figuring this might be the one to give him the big break he’d beenlooking for. It did... but not in the way he expected. The experi-mental drug (he never did learn its nam or where it came from) interacted in a very unusual way with his metabolism. Instead of getting him high, or simply killing him, it altered his molecular structure, giving him the power to control friction. Terrified at first, he got over it when he began to realize what he could do with these strange new abilities. He could skate without skates! He could break in anywhere! He could become rich!
Slick (as he christened himself ) had a few successes early on, but his confidence got the better of him. He took on some jobs that were more than he could handle, and got beaten badly by superheroes because of it (though he did manage to escape them and stay out of jail). He realized he couldn’t do it all by himself; he needed some friends to back him up. He read about the Ultimates and decided they were the ones for him. Some underworld contacts put him in touch with them, and after a brief probationary period, he was accepted into the group

MENTAL MALFUNCTION
Slick is a pretty normal guy — laid back, friendly, interested in good old-fashioned American male pursuits like fast cars and beautiful women. He’s the most stable and personable member of the team, and can be seductive and friendly if he wants. Slick’s one big hang-up (besides his overconfident nature) is his fear of being confined or tied up in any way. It’s not claustrophobia, but an intense hatred of being denied his freedom of movement. The longer he’s confined, the more anxious and desperate he’ll get. The thought of spending time in prison terrifies him.

I really like your build for SLICK. I had a similar build idea for a villain I was calling MR. SLICKER who came across some old-time, 1930-ish suit in great condition (complete with a matching fedora) at thrift store. It was to grant him super-tephlon, slippery powers as well but I got stuck on how to work it for a wrestling bonusb (since it says you use the lower of your Brawn or Agility).

I really like how you handled the powers and his background is excellent! The friction Agility bonus is a great but I love the idea of the Friction Armor. Great thinking!

Thanks. When I get my printer working again, power issues, I will be able to print, scan and create more conversions. My next one will probably be Binder.
