So how about Stan Lee finally?

So I’m sure everyone wants a “Stan Lee” character for the game, because let’s face it, it’s his universe, so here’ my proposal for a 4* Stan Lee.

So knowing that Stan Lee isn’t a superhero, but made all the superheroes (well Marvel did), why not give him EVERY power (well every 3* power). So he gets three random 3* powers every battle, but you don’t know what they are until you enter combat. This will mean that Stan Lee might be hard to master (unlike Inv. Woman or X-Force) and you’ll probably have to support him with other characters that are individually powerful, but it’ll be that more satisfying when you win. icon_e_biggrin.gif

The 3* powers are broken up into 3 catagories: Attack, Special Attack, and Utility/Defensive powers. His stat’s are all “average” for all 6 colors for a 4*. The one disadvantage to him would be he could have multiple powers that use the same color (see below). There would be some powers that couldn’t be used because they are really dependent on another power to be effective/awesome (colossus’ punch and mystique’s masterstrike).

“Attack” category includes any power that targets a single target. Such as: Cyclop’s Optic Blast, L.Thor Thunder Strike, Hulk’s Smash, Mohawk’s Mistress of the Elements/Lightning Strike, etc

“Special Attack” category includes any power that attacks the enemy team or drops a bunch of strike/attack tiles: Mohawk’s Hailstorm, L.Thor’s Call the Storm, HT Inferno, Blade’s Keep your enemies close, etc.

“Utilty/Defense” powers category would be any such powers, such as: GSBW Defensive Tactic’s, Spiderman’s Webslinger or Tied Up, Loki’s Illusion & Trickery, Patch’s Healing, Psylocke’s Bewilder, Steve Roger’s Peacemaker, Hulk’s Anger, etc.

To make it clear, his powers all are 4* strength, but 3* powers/titles. Some sample characters could look like this, AFTER you enter the battle:

“Stan Lee – The Extreme”
1) Ironman40: Unibeam
2) Beast: Animal Inside
3) Mystique: Shapeshift

Or
1) Cyclops’s: Full Blast
2) Ironman40: Balistic Strike
3) L.Daken’s: healing (can’t remember name ATM)

Or
1) Rocket & Groot’s Green attack (can’t remember name ATM)
2) Squirrel Girl’s Green Furry Little Friends
3) Squirrel Girl’s Yellow Defensive power.

The picture could be hard to draw, Hulk’s torso, colossus’s leg, stan lee’s face (obviously), cyclop’s glasses, kamala khan’s arm w/ psylocke’s blade, wolverine’s arm w/ claw, etc.

Now to go with this, is my suggestion for Stan Lee is that he’s like the 4* Devil Dino, a specialty “Collectors” character. But make it easy to obtain and level, because he’s for fun (because doesn’t Stan Lee just scream “fun”?). icon_lol.gif

Have the introductory event on Stan’s birthday (if it hasn’t happened this year yet). Since he would be a “collectors” item, let people get him easily. To allow people to build him up, if people ever get a 4* that they can’t use, let them trade for a Stan Lee cover 1:1.

The programing for having multiple powers on one character might be hard (would need developers to chime in on that one).

Now to make it really funny, a “young” Stan Lee (copied from a photo when the company first started). He would be a 3* character, who had the same powers as all the 2* heroes/villians. icon_e_biggrin.gif

Oh: Full disclosure, I have twin 6yr old boys who are obsessed w/ the Lego Marvel Super Heroes game, that’s what inspired this. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Stan Lee makes cameo's in all of his movies, so what we need are rare random Team Ups called Excelsior!

    When you get one of these team ups and use it (requires 20 AP), it basically blasts 3 powers (randomly selected from the entire usable list of possible team ups in your current match, so chars you are using are excluded)

    This would be awesome... excelsior!!!
  • Stan Lee would be too OP. Almost Jamie Madrox-esque, as he could write any Marvel toon out of existence.

    Therefore he only needs 1 skill -

    The Eraser - 1AP (any colour):
    Stan the man flexes his finger muscles, picks up his trusty rubber ( icon_razz.gif ) and erases his opponent out of existence.
    Level 1 : Depletes the enemy's health completely
    Level 2 : Depletes 2 enemy's health completely
    Level 3 : Depletes the entire enemy team's health completely
    Level 4 : Erases the enemy team from existence. The 3 toons are deleted from your opponent's roster
    Level 5 : Fires the D3 team. Oh, and erases Marvel Puzzle Quest from existence. Heck, erases the Marvel Universe from existence

    Hucksterism (Passive): Stan takes all the credit for the work of his co-creators such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Any healing effects his teammates would receive goes to him instead. No allies can use skills unless Stan is downed or stunned.

    Stripperella - 7AP Stan creates a creepy super-stripper character that grosses out everyone around. The enemy team is stunned for two turns, Stan's allies are stunned for one turn, and two random enemies or allies take 1000 points of embarrassment damage.

    Cameo - 15AP Stan shows up "unexpectedly" in the enemy team, swapping places with one of the enemy characters. The replaced enemy leaves the battle, but Stan now fights for the enemy team.

    (edited to add third skill)
