Design a character!

Unknown

Love that Daredevil. I especially like the idea of a char that can do damage with environmental tiles.
Good job!

Gotta agree with everyone complimenting the Daredevil design, really nice work!

Bishop (Classic)
2-Star
Health: Moderate/High
Black/Yellow/Red, Normal Env/Crit rates

(Black) Energy Absorption - Passive
Bishop absorbs all energy attacks directed at him, taking reduced damaged from special attacks and absorbing their force as Yellow AP.

L1 - Special attacks deal 75% damage to Bishop, gain 3 Yellow AP when Bishop is hit by a damaging special attack
L2 - Gain 4 Yellow AP
L3 - 67% damage
L4 - Gain 5 Yellow AP
L5 - 50% damage

(Yellow) Biokinetic Blast - 9 AP
Bishop channels all of his stored biokinetic energy into a concussive blast, completely draining his Yellow AP.

L1 - Deals nnn damage plus an additional nn damage for each Yellow AP consumed beyond the base cost.
L2 - Base cost reduced to 8 AP
L3 - Base damage + 25%
L4 - Base cost reduced to 7 AP
L5 - Base damage + 25%

Someone to punish attack spam, especially Thor's Mjolnir's Might as the Yellow generated may wind up fueling a big counter blast.

Ooh, been thinking about this for a while, so here's one of my favourite Marvel characters.....

Silver Surfer
3 Star Rarity (Rare)
HP: Medium-High
Tile Affinity: Red, Yellow, Purple

Cosmic Blast - Red - 8AP
The Surfer produces a concentrated blast of Cosmic energy to decimate his opponent. Attacks for nnn damage and destroys a targeted 2x2 block of tiles. Does not generate AP.
Level 2: Damage increased by 25%
Level 3: Destroys a 3x3 block of tiles
Level 4: Damage increased by 50%
Level 5: Attack hits all enemies. Ends turn. AP increased to 10.

Cosmic Healing - Yellow - 10AP
Norin calls on the Power Cosmic to heal himself and his allies for 10% of their max HP. The strain causes Norin to Stun himself for 1 turn.
Level 2: Damage healed increased to 15% of max HP. AP increased to 11
Level 3: Damage healed increased to 20% of max HP. AP increased to 12
Level 4: Damage healed increased to 25% of max HP. AP increased to 13
Level 5: Damage healed increased to 30% of max HP, and no longer stuns Surfer. AP increased to 15.

Cosmic Manipulation - Purple - 10 AP
The Surfer draws on the Power Cosmic to manipulate the battlefield. Removes all enemy countdowns, and drains 1 AP from all colours.
Level 2: Now also removes enemy Attack tiles. AP increased to 11. Drains 2 AP from all colours.
Level 3: Now also removes enemy Protect tiles. AP increased to 12. Drains 3 AP from all colours.
Level 4: Now also removes enemy Strike tiles. AP increased to 13. Drains 4 AP from all colours.
Level 5: Now also removes environmental tiles, causing nn damage per tile. AP increased to 15.

I've tried to keep in line with the current trend of powers that also have a side effect to your own character or team, such as Surfer's red at level 5 ending the turn, or the heal that stuns himself, or the removal of enemy tiles for a reduction in AP. I've also tried to make level 5 of all skills appealing, so that each player might be faced with a difficult decision in which skills to max out. I envisage him as one of the most powerful 3* characters, as he should be really.

That's because pride's on the line. Since we don't have to actually worry about balance, we tend to want to make characters that people see and say so and so looks awesome. A lot of them could be balanced, but we don't have any means to test them. So we make an OP wish list. The nature of the ability and how it relates to the character and to the other abilities is the most interesting part. Numbers and AP can be tweeked where necessary.

I laughed so hard haha

How about this?

Mister Fantastic- ***
Blue/Black/Green

Blue- 9 AP- Entangle
Mr. Fantastic wraps up his target so tightly that his enemies can't seem to hit the right person! Stuns the target for 3 turns, and they take 25% of any damage dealt to Mr. Fantastic while they are stunned.
Level 2- Increases damage to 50%.
Level 3- Now costs 7 AP
Level 4- Increases damage to 100%.
Level 5- Mr. Fantastic stretches to the limit to misdirect his enemies, whirling around the battlefield at a frenzied pace. The target now takes 50% of damage done to Mr. Fantastic's teammates.
(By the way, this does not mean that Mr. Fantastic takes no damage. It simply means the enemy takes the damage along with him.)

Black- (Passive)- Plot
Reed's calculating mind is always looking for ways to undermine his opponents. While they are gathering power, he is working against them. If the enemy team has at least 4 AP of every color, they are dealt 25% more damage from matches.
Level 2- Requires that the enemy team has 3 AP of each color.
Level 3- Increases extra damage from matches to 50%.
Level 4- Requires that the enemy team has 2 AP of each color.
Level 5- Increases extra damage from matches to 75%. Additionally, if the enemy team has at least 6(7?) AP of every color, they take four(five?) times as much damage from matches.

Green- 17 AP- Bowling Pins
Mr. Fantastic stretches himself thin and flings himself over the enemy team, then returns to normal, pulling them together and lining them up for his teammates. The next power (costing no more than 10 AP) that one of Mr. Fantastic's allies performs this turn affects the entire enemy team. If it is a damaging ability, it does 2/3 of the damage it would have done otherwise to each enemy.
Level 2- Now costs 16 AP.
Level 3- Now costs 15 AP.
Level 4- Increases damage to 80% of the base damage.
Level 5- Increases powers affected to two.
(I feel that this power could be either incredibly underpowered or incredibly overpowered (Widow's Sting, Magnetic Translocation, All Tied Up).

I wanted to make him a powerful character, but I have always had trouble balancing these things. I'd really appreciate any feedback you guys would like to give. Tell me if you think he is good enough or too good, and give me your opinions on his green power. I couldn't think of anything else involving stretching, so that one is definitely open to change.
