Truth be told, I thought it meant ‘when the bad guy is in control/bad ending’ storyline, given how most of those storylines IIRC have that premise. More the idea than the exact name…though that may just be my finagling because I think the closest to DC/Marvel I’ve done in a year is Watchmen,

WEATHER WAND: Telekinesis as FREE, but only if Weather Wizard has 0 or 1 action tokens.

QUITE THE WEATHER WE'RE HAVING: Smoke Cloud, Stealth. When Weather Wizard removes his Smoke markers, even if this power is lost, roll a d6, subtract his number of Smoke markers, and deal each opposing character occupying those squares penetrating damage equal to the result (minimum 1).

It’s only getting closer folks.

Put one foot in front of the other….(Sidestep)
Practicing his strange spells and snowy incantations…..(Incapacitate)
Now I have you, and you'll never get away!….(Barrier)

To be fair, Buckwheat had the right idea for my original intent, but I enjoy Daka's interpretation of it as well that I'd completely allow that!

The Question’s Batman - just an incredibly solid, mobile, stealthy Batman. I applaud that this manages to capture just about everything about him without overdoing it.

MoonKnight2009’s Death’s Head II - I know nothing about this dude beyond that he’s a badass cyborg and he’s big in the UK. Your dial makes me want to know more about him!

mmiller42’s Deadpool - I almost dismissed this Deadpool for having such a short dial without Regen, but his “Bound, Gagged, And Mailed Back To Tolliver” trait is lovely, tricksy, and maddening— all great traits to Deadpool.

Honorable Mentions - Stormcrawler’s Professor X, 2 Gun Kid’s Speedball, Superherojhn’s Raiden, RockyRaccoon’s Spider-Man

Sadistic Symbiote: Plasticity & Steal Energy.
Carnage U.S.A.: Blades/Claws/Fangs & Toughness. // Whenever Carnage U.S.A. is placed on a different edge of the map, place a Postcard Token on his card for each different edge. Carnage U.S.A. modifies his Blades/Claws/Fangs roll by 1 for each Postcard Token. FREE: Remove all Postcard tokens from Carnage U.S.A.'s card and gain 2 Mission Points for each.

Interpreting "reign" as "reign of terror," here's my earliest memory of such a thing-- Carnage U.S.A. cards from the 1995 Spider-Man Fleer Ultra card set.

In each card, Carnage would visit a different American landmark and send pictures of his wanton chaos and arson as postcards to Spider-Man, Venom, Dr. Ashley Kafka, Shriek, etc. to brag about his exploits and bodycount.

As an elementary school kid trying to memorize landmarks, this was a great way to reinforce those lessons!

Everyone’s obviously missing the prompt:

I really leaned into the first appearance prompt on this one. He is a very different character in that first issue, going so far as to criticize Sunspot for being too brash, using completely different and weird weapons, and not getting back up after he is hit by three knives in the back.

Ah, that makes tons of sense! Speaks even more highly of your dial design, then!

Perfect Clima-Tact: FREE: Choose one, Nami can use the chosen effect until the beginning of your next turn:

• Force Blast
• Energy Explosion
• Pulse Wave
• Smoke Cloud
• Super Senses

Navigator Of The Going Merry: Outwit. Perplex, when she uses it, you may choose to modify the value +2 instead if the target has the Straw Hat or Vehicle keyword.

Straw Hat TA: POWER: Choose an adjacent friendly character that can use this team ability and heal that character 1 click and roll a d6. [ 1 - 4 ]: This character is dealt 1 unavoidable damage.

Does Injustice count as a reign story by that definition? Specifically the video games preferably, since I'm more of a gamer than a reader at heart lol

I was going to use this prompt as a chance to make a new six-armed Ultron (Age of Ultron), but I can't remember for the life of me if that character actually was in the story or if it was just the cover art.

And of course, this summer Carnage added an event to our list of "events with 'reign' in the title."

It was only ever on the covers.
