Black Hand chooses red as the color for the bonus.

Why not replace Batman with Joker? Batman Origins Quick Start version. It's funny, just peeking at all the Batman villains and almost all could fit this theme. Sure Riddler and Penguin might be iffy but not wholly inappropriate. Anyway Joker against Spidey, he ups his damage to 4. Needs 5, rolls 5. SS is 1. 4 to Spidey, 1 to Joker.

Sticking with Batman enemies and returning to our Halloween game of last year: enter Catwoman. Solovar plops her into G15.

She needs 7 to use Elaborate Deathtrap on Frank, gets 8. He's in the Deathtrap. Just for your reference Catwoman and he have 4 different colors for the escape roll.

Black Adam tries to regen: 5. Nice.

DC isn't as fun as Marvel for this game but they do have plenty of interesting options in their line up.

"Spider-Man, what a creepy name!" the Joker says.

"Creepy? Look in the mirror lately, pal?" asks Spider-Man.

"I assure you, I'm as sweet as a summer day in a lilac field," he says. He then pulls out a pistol from behind his back and blasts him. "Of course, I am allergic to lilacs!".

Meanwhile Frankenstein runs into his own issue: namely Catwoman. "Hiya tall, dark and gruesome, let's play cat and mouse. I'll be the cat." A large net falls on Frankenstein and lifts him skyward.

"Struggle all you like, darling, the net releases toxins that make you drowsier and drowsier the more you fight. Go ahead, take a nap, that sounds like a puuurfect idea to me."

I see that you are already playing the Joker that I just drafted. He's certainly a character that qualifies in every version. For make it all work I'll swap for IK Vet. Spidey takes only 3.

Joker outwits Spidey's cce.

Frank's escape roll: 5. Not good. Catwoman rolls 1 die. Gets 6, plus her bonus 4, total 10. The difference is 5, Toughness makes it 4 to Frankie.

Doom RS to N13, shoots at Adam, AV11 on DV18 +1. Gets the 8. Impervious is a 5 though.

Doom will Outwit Adam's Outwit, since that is the only power he can counter.

Spider-Man's getting Poisoned anyway, he pushes to Break, rolls 1. On Joker then with CCE, AV10 on DV16. Gets 12. Oof. That's 4 to Joker and KB to J18

Iron Slayer's pretty useless where he is. He'll just wait and bide his time.

"Your power will make you extremely useful as a zombie slave," Dr. Doom said, shooting at Black Adam.

"I am no man's slave, zombie or otherwise. And for thinking you could make me one, I think you need to be taught a lesson," Black Adam said.

"Joker, you are enough to make anyone swear off the circus for life," Spider-Man said, punching him hard in the nose.

"I like to tear the legs off of spiders," the Joker said, "but in a situation like this, a Spider-Man will do."

Joker has outwitted Spidey's cce. Still takes 2 damage, though. He outwits Spidey's ss.

Grodd tugs the lo from underneath Carmilla and plops it underneath himself.

Black Hand picks orange for Drain the Spectrum.

Firestorm rs to F16 attacking Spidey. Needs 6-2, rolls 5. Spidey's out. Firestorm heals 2 and takes 1 so he's back to full. He has pc and perplex for a turn, uses perplex on his dv.

Fate puts himself up on the chopping block by going to L16.

"Stand still, will ya?" Firestorm says.

"Neiner neiner neiner," Spider-Man says leaping away.

Spider-Man's suddenly loses control of himself. He unloads his own webbing on himself and sticks himself to the ground. "What the heck am I doing?" he asks.

"My will," Dr. Fate adds, "Firestorm, now attempt to strike."

"Now this I like better," Firestorm says aiming at Spider-Man.

"Oh, crap," he says before a blast arrives.

Frankenstein does the trap thing. He rolls 11. Much better. Catoman's Bonus is now 3. Even with a 6, she can't beat that. Frankenstein goes back to the starting area.

As an action, he will try to Regenerate. Rolls 1. Doesn't happen.

Since I can't not play him in this, Shuma-Gorath in next. He just moves E/F7/8

Doom RS to N12 on Black Adam, Wanda Perplexes his AV to 12 on DV18 +1. Gets 5. Wanda makes it 5 again. Shuma makes it 5.

Mole Man tries to MC Doom AV12 on DV18. Gets 5. I'm getting a run on those.

Doom Outwits Black Adam's Outwit.

Wanda TKs Iron Slayer to M12

He Charges, grabbing the HO from L15, ends K16, attacking Adam. AV11 on DV18. He gets...wait for it...a 5.

Carmilla on Catwoman, AV10 on DV17. She gets...NOT a 5!!! She gets a 4.

Ooh, wait, Hobgoblin can still go. And I blocked all my likely targets. RS to M10 with a shot at Fate, AV11 on DV18 +2. Gets 6. Gradually getting better, but gradual wasn't what I needed to hit Fate.

Hobgoblin Outwits Fate's PC

"I am sensing..." Dr. Fate began, "a presence. A being of great power, but foul, reeking of Chaos magic."

"Why Doctor, I didn't know you cared," Shuma-Gorath said telepathically in the minds of all.

"Give me a shot at this Black Adam," the Iron Slayer said, pushing past Doom, whose attacks were having no effect on him.

"What makes you think you will fare any better?" Adam asked him, stopping his charge in its tracks.

Joker outwits Iron Slayer's invulnerable.

Black Hand chooses green for his Drain the Spectrum.

Black Adam needs 5 to hit IS, rolls 4.

Catwoman coughs up Tinkerbell next to her.

Tinkerbell on the vampire. Needs 6, rolls 9. Wanda makes it 11. Shuma makes it 7. Figures...my best rolls are your guys rerolls. BCF is 5. Not ideal. He's out.

Joker to H14. He'll probably fall with ease but he'll mm to Tinkerbell.

"Apparently we are evenly matched," Iron Slayer says as he blocks Adam's fist.

"I very much doubt that," Black Adam replies, frustrated at his impotence.

"Do you like kitties, darling?" Catwoman asks the vampire. He hisses and gets ready to pounce. Tinkerbell the Tiger pounces first.

"Good kitty," she says, "I think someone's earned her saucer of milk."

If Joker's at 3, he's past his Mastermind and onto Willpower. But then, by your own admission, you didn't expect him to last.

Frankie rolls to Regen - 3. Heals 1. Oh well, I guess Wanda may as well PC that. Makes it 1. There are things in this world that should not be meddled with, I guess.

Adam's obviously tied to Shuma Gorath's Emerge Trait, so this may be counterproductive, but Shuma attacks Adam. Being Colossal, he can shoot right over Joker's head, and the LOF is there otherwise, I checked. AV12 on DV18. Gets 3. He PCs himself to an 8. Imperv is 4. 3 to Adam.

Debating pushing Iron Slayer. He's in a rough place, but he loses a lot taking that one click, so I'll just have Hobgoblin Outwits Fate's PC and cross my fingers.

Hannibal King in next, taxis Frankenstein. Hannibal to G8, Frank in G7.

"What are you hanging back here for, Frankie?" Hannibal King asked.

"Just got out of trap," Frankenstein said.

"Well, let's go get back into it, pal," Hannibal said.

"You are mighty, Black Adam, but none are as powerful as I!" Shuma-Gorath said, shooting right over the Joker's head.

"Hey, Tentacle-Boy! Watch the hair!" Joker said, ducking.

Adam's Defender sp makes him reduce damage by 3, he only takes 2 from Shuma.

Black Hand uses Drain the Spectrum on the color green.

Solovar tks Grodd to H16. He outwits IS's invulnerable and attacks. Needs 5, rolls 7. 3 to him. Wait...Shuma makes it a 2. Firestorm makes it 5. 3 to him.

Firestorm rs to I16 vs. Iron Slayer. Needs 5, rolls 5. 4 to him. He's out.

Pushing Joker to J16 to block.

Fate on Hobby. Needs 8, rolls 3.

"You leave yourself in a vulnerable place," Black Adam says to Iron Slayer.

"It would not be my first time," Iron Slayer replies, "And yet I am still here."

"True...but not for long," Adam sneers as he joins Firestorm and Gorilla Grodd to take him out.
