It's fun to think of abilities for new characters, and I thought I'd try a variation on the (excellent) "post movesets for characters" thread. For this idea, posters can post a list of moves that they'd to see in the game, and contributors will hopefully chime in on which superhero or villain would be the best match for that moveset. Is this going to work? I don't know, but there's no harm in trying. If it doesn't generate much response, as a backup, it might be fun to also post "I love xxxxx! Someone design his skill set for me!" I'm hoping the focus will be less on balancing movesets, and more on assigning movesets to characters.

I'll start with a random collection of abilities that sound fun to me - let's see if someone with more comic book knowledge than I can match the powers to a suitable superhero or villain. If you think it's a good match, a few lines describing why (for anybody's suggestions) would be fun and greatly appreciated.

Places a 4 turn countdown tile on a chosen basic red tile. While the countdown is in play the enemy team receives 1 AP in two randomly selected colors at the end of your turn. If the enemy team uses any active ability while the countdown is in play the countdown shatters, dealing 588 damage to the enemy team. When the countdown resolves (or is matched away), you receive 1 AP in three randomly selected colors.

    Clearly this is a move set for Apocalypse! Sabotage because he's one of the smarter villains, Grevious Ruin as he sends his Four Horseman forth to spread destruction and ruin, and I Warned You due to the hubris of thinking he is invincible.

    .... But he would have to be star.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.png
  • Just to give an alternative i could see this as Blackout the Ghost Rider villain, giving that he can absord light and i believe he has some sort of decay touch as well
