Thank you!

Its a Streets of Gotham Marquee Figure Batman #100

[axabrax]

All the above are excellent suggestions! I have been going through my figure collection, and I think a lot of the work here could be done with a simple paint job for villains. For instance, I have a ton of Gangs of New York figures that--painted in sinister colors or with clown faces, could easily be Joker's crew.  Joker?  Victorian gentleman with white and green make up! Do a few head swaps with the heads from LAM steampunk range and viola! High tech criminals for any variety of villain to employ!  This...could...work!

Now the question is, what rules to use?  I really like EoTD, but I'm not sure how to write up "super-heroes" for it. I am thinking you could work off the Sherlock Holmes profile for Batman. Or maybe use a super hero minis game instead?

I've only recently got a chance to look at EotD but I think that it's a pretty good fit for Batman anyway, never mind a Victorian one, as the power levels are quite low in Gotham. How it would work for the more 'super' of the hero community is another matter, but I like how many of the quirks of the rogues gallery without powers can be covered with Influences, like in the special character pdf.

One idea I had was for the Riddler to have a 'Riddle Me this' influence which allows his player to misdirect an opponent like with the Mesmerise Arcane Power.

Someone said the Hulk, so I figure it's OK... Mr Hyde-type minis might be a good Hulk substitute, the whole 'scientist goes crazy and becomes a behomoth' thing is pretty much directly ripped from Jeckyll and Hyde.

Soon as I saw the title of this topic I thought 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'.  The comic, by the way... and IMO that's got 'Victorian Hyde-Hulk' all sewn up...

It's a bit arbitrary, but I'd personally rather use the Seamus avatar as a basis for LXG Hyde than the Hulk.  For a more direct VSF translation of the Hulk, I think I'd look to Reaper's clay golem.  It's practically a Hulk dolly, ready for dressing.

Since you bring him up, he's the master of my crew, and I'd planned to paint up said robotic crew in golds and reds...

But I think the Ramos avatar would do much better as Doc Ock with very little conversion.

Figure A in the Federated States of America would make a great steampunk / victorian era Deadshot from DC.

What about a couple of the Carnevale or Freebooters Fate Botherhood minis for people like Joker, Harley Quinn and Riddler?

Picture is tiny. What range are these?

[Pappa Midnight]

I've done a Hyde (Malifaux Seamus Avatar) and a Spring-heeled Jack ( Converted Reaper mini)




 I am always on the look out for more VSF Superheroes. That Rhino mini is a must!!!

Those are really nicely done, great work!

I was finishing up my Lycaon starter box for Empire of the Dead the other day, and the gf picked up one of the henchmen and said "Hey, is this Wolverine?" I hadn't really noticed it, but she was right. He's got the same hair style and mutton chops, the facial expression is a perfect fit, and he's holding the two-prong claw weapons in both hands. Unfortunately I think the only way to get that figure is in the starter box.

Anyone knows a nice mini for Killer Croc?
Need one myself for my Supers Noir Project.

[Hat Guy]

I would think that given Croc's usual costume (torn rags and not much else), that any Croc clix would be adequate.

If you really wanted to do something different, I'd say something like a Creature from the Black Lagoon mini would suit quite well, even if not strictly Victorian.

The original Green Lantern could be an explorer with a magic lamp.

Hawkeye a Carnivale Circus Performer converted to carry a bow. He started in the circus after all.

Mockingbird the same as above, but female with a stick.

Nick Fury, Redcoat officer with eyepatch.

Bane, beefy VSF Prussian with converted mask.

I can keep going, I've got pages of these...
