After our Scion game wrapped up last night (write-up pending), the idea of running Nextwave: Rookies of H.A.T.E. came up again. I’m still kicking around ideas, but the one thing I need is data. And I figure I have a lot of comic book fans that read my LiveJournal, so I thought I would ask here. What I’m looking for are:
* Supervillains primarily. Heroes are good, too, as ideas to throw my players and to use as cameos, but mainly I need villain fodder.
* Characters that never had a series (or appeared in a series) for more than twelve issues.
* Characters that should probably never have a series.
Inspirations include not only Nextwave, but also The Great Lakes Avengers, Deadpool, The Tick and Brave and the Bold.
If I could get links to webpage references (such as to the Marvel Comics Database), I’d appreciate it.
Are those obscure enough?
The Spot, Gibbon, Wraith (Brian DeWolff), the Sphinx, Moondark, Doctor Sun, Diamondhead, Kangaroo,
Condor, Red Raven, Nebulon, Purple Man, Matador, Cobalt Man, Solarr, Death-Stalker, Masked Marauder,
Killer Shrike, Black Spectre, Bres, The Answer, Bloodshed, Nightshade, Dredmund Druid
Some are pitiful, soma are halfway decent, one or two are surprising powerhouses.
You can find them and many more in this wonderful master list of the obscure:
