Apocalypse is one of the oldest living mutants, if not the oldest. He’s been called the first, and has a bit of a god complex. His plans for mutant dominance over the world have involved the X-Men and more, time and time again. To use him properly in the Marvel RPG, remember that he’s not just muscle; he’s a mastermind. His plans are subtle and [Read the article]

Bobby Drake is a pivotal hero in the Marvel Universe. He was on the very first X-men team, and has remained a key character ever since. Even when not on an active X-Men team, he soon found himself involved with the Champions, Defenders and X-Factor. One of his key personality traits is that he’s very open with his emotions. It’s easy to tell when he’s [Read the article]

Call him a saint, leader, terrorist or madman, there’s something just magnetic about this character. He’s been a member of the X-Men and the world’s greatest villain. He’s a pivotal part of the House of M, Apocalypse’s 13, Onslaught Saga and the Secret Wars events. He has very strong ties with Professor X, Mystique, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Polaris, to name just a few. Read [Read the article]

Two new invulnerable Watcher characters for you today! They’ve both been on either side of the law and can be used in a lot of circumstances. Beyond that, they don’t have too much in common, and I don’t really suggest using them in the same encounter. I’ve found that enemies with the Invulnerable SFX can quickly frustrate some players, but they can quickly move past [Read the article]

Here’s a double datafile that Watcher’s should have fun with. Mystique is a classic Marvel villain. Tied closely with the X-Men, especially Magneto, Sabretooth, Nightcrawler and Rogue. Even if you’re not into comics, you probably recognize her, as she’s been in every X-Men cartoon and movie, as well as a host of video games. Her primary power is to shapeshift, but you can see from [Read the article]

Many of the heroes in Marvels 80s lineup were a little dark. It was a gritty time for many forms of entertainment, and Cloak was a hero who literally embodied this ideal. I mean, he’s made of darkness, and darkness feeds on bad people. Plus he hates drugs, and his partner wore an impossibly tight suit. He’s managed to survive the last two decades despite [Read the article]

Silver Samurai is probably best known by fans for his appearances on the old X-Men cartoon show. This sometimes villain, sometimes hero has had a much larger history in the comics however, ranging from crime lord, to Hydra bodyguard, to a premier member of the Japanese Super Group ‘Big Hero Six’. You’ll find statistics for him as a Minor Villain in the Marvel Heroic Basic [Read the article]

It may seem like an odd pairing, but this grouping is ripped from the pages of New Avengers. If you’re going to continue the events as they roughly happened after the Break Out! Mini Event, then you’ll soon find these two in Japan, helping to set the stage for Secret Invasion way down the line. Madame Hydra is a near ageless villain devoted to, you [Read the article]

Who’s got two regenerating thumbs and is your favorite crazy assassin? This guy! Deadpool’s abilities haven’t changed too much over the years, but the way that writers treat him has. I’ve tried to create a version here that rewards players for playing into Deadpool’s madness, while slowly building the doom pool as a result. Hopefully, people can play him as either a crazed loon or as lovable satire with the [Read the article]
