[Basement Dweller]

I had him as a wildcard...but mastermind is where I ended...I could be happy with him being a bit punchier...but like him more as a crime boss who uses Grundy and Clayface as his muscle...

I always end up at mastermind too, but want him to be something 'punchier' like you say.  Problem with the Joker is that he's more of a role play villain than a skirmish one.  So for skirmish, a mastermind villain with loads of under bosses and henchmen I suppose.

I have the same problem with the red hood.  I love the character but can't decide how to Crete him.  Are they all street level?  Or wildcards?  The bat family I mean?

[Basement Dweller]

I think depends on the power level you want to play.

 I feel the bat family is street level in that they are human...but punch above their weight class and can dance with the supers.  Id make batman and batwoman and nightwing wildcards...probably make robin and batgirl street level.

Awesome super groups guys!  I love Invincible, though now seeing this, I realize I haven't read it in about a year...

Great take on Fantastic Four.  The thing might benefit from the Massive minor-power as he's a pretty big dude and massive really beefs up a brick.

This is a great start everyone!  I've been cleaning the basement over the weekend in an effort to find the box I've misplaced with the SuperSystem figures in it, no luck yet.  If I don't find it by the weekend, I'll put up a list of Crossover figs to choose from and a bonus Cryptozoid for anyone putting up a complete team of four or more.

Awesome super groups guys!  I love Invincible, though now seeing this, I realize I haven't read it in about a year...

Thanks, Fergal! I forgot to mention that I will be playing fast and loose with the archetype restrictions for my builds. I will keep the number of powers within standard parameters but will be switching out Major/Minor powers to fit the characters better.

Thanks, Fergal! I forgot to mention that I will be playing fast and loose with the archetype restrictions for my builds. I will keep the number of powers within standard parameters but will be switching out Major/Minor powers to fit the characters better.

Perhaps we should note the unconventional builds some how?  That will make it easy for folks to recognize?  I'm sure you won't be the only one to play about with it. 

[Weasel-Fierce]

So what's everyone's take on Magic Artifact for Thor? I see that it's a pretty efficient way of getting a lot of powers in one character and it fits the theme pretty well, but the recharge rolls seem like they would make him too unreliable. I haven't done a build yet but I would be leaning towards making him a Super-Brick with Super Strength, Resistance, Flight, Power Blasts and Melee Specialist. What do you think?

[Weasel-Fierce]

Time for some X-Men. I gave Cyclops Enhance (Minor) to reflect his leadership abilities. Iceman has Fast to represent his ice slides rather than Flight as I don't think it should be that fast. I've chosen to represent Angel with his secondary healing mutation as he is a bit boring otherwise and so makes a nice support figure for the team. I would probably also give Jean Grey Iron Will and Rapport if I wanted to make her Super-level (which would make sense to represent her at the height of her powers).

That works very well. Magic Artifact is a nice way to do it within the normal Archetype structure, but if you make him a Super Brick, you get a more reliable version for sure!

In play-tests I found the basic version using Magic Artifact nice because it emulated the comics--Thor did not always dominate for various reasons, but mainly so writers could avoid the Deus ex Machina of him always bailing the Avengers out.

Loving your builds!
