"Nice try, Bat-Boy," Ragman says as he avoids his attack and pelts him with one of his own, "But not nice enough."

"It's MAN-Bat."

"I'm sure it is," Ragman sarcastically replies.

"You can't do anything against Mordru in your wounded state," Mento told Blue Devil. "Help Moon Knight instead."

"Boy you really sure do know how to make a guy feel good about himself," Blue Devil chided Mento. He swung his trident at Man-Bat, but the creature ducked out of the way. "Then again, maybe it's justified." Blue Devil gurmbled.

"He is very fast," Moon Knight said. "Don't feel too bad. Not everyone can hit someone like him," he added, delivering a dead-on punch to the villain.

"Yeah, thanks," Blue Devil groaned. Moon Knight missed his sarcasm.

Character roll: 5; Nightmare. Event: 6, stealth.

Ghost Widow rolls to heal Nightmare. Needs 5, rolls 11. Heal roll is 2. Argh. They really gotta do something about support.

"What are you doing?" Blue Devil interrupts as Moon Knight begins wailing on Ragman.

"I....don't know....".

"You're supposed to hit the bad guys," Devil points to Man-Bat, "Like this." He jabs the Batman villain and the surprise hit takes him out.

"My mind is cloudy..." Moon Knight says.

"Mine too...." Spider-Man says.

"Spidey? Glad to see you," Blue Devil says.

Spider-Man lunges at Ragman and takes him out with one punch.

"Ummmmm....having a bad day, Spidey?" Blue Devil asks.

Funny thing is I was going to being in a Spider-Man myself. What do you think? Sufficiently different versions between the zombie and the real thing, or is Spidey called out.

I'm starting to think in general when we're playing a heroes villains theme like Crisis, that while we can't double up ourselves it would be okay for those characters where there are these evil alternates (Black Queen/Jean Grey, to use another example) for each of us to take an appropriate version.

I think your using Spider-Man is fine. I am mostly going for villains or possessed heroes to fit the theme ( I mean zombies, they're just about the best Halloween choices ever).

We'll need to start thinking about the special rolls for the final Avengers/JLA game pretty soon.

Oh, I've been giving the special rolls a lot of thought. I've come up with more than my share, though some are better than others.

Okay, so Spider-Man, and for this one, I'm going way back to IC and the original Vet Spidey. With Pounce.

Character roll is 1 - Zatanna. Event is 4. She's once again Ported Outside to I15. She moves back in to J13

She will Pounce to O6 to attack Ghost Widow. AV12 +1 on DV18. Gets 7 for 3 to her. 2 to Spidey, 1 for the Pounce and 1 for her TA.

Mento Outwits Mordru's Impervious.

Swamp Thing on Mordru, AV9 on DV18. And actually gets 11. 2 to Mordru. 1 to Swamp Thing

"Hey guys, I'm here to...oh dear God, is that me?" Spider-Man asked, aghast at the zombie version of himself. Apparently the sight of him as a whole, living being didn't sit too well with the zombie Spider-Man either. He became enraged and swung wildly at anything.

"Spider-Man, perhaps it's best if you gave your aid elsewhere," Mento thought to him. "And I know just where you'd be useful."

"Okay," Spider-Man said. "Anything to get away from...that." He leapt back and swung down the corridor and into the dining room where Ghost Widow was using her powers to heal the others.

"Sorry, creepy lady," Spider-Man said. "If we knock someone down, we want 'em to stay down." He swung into Ghost Widow.

"Meddler, you'll pay the price for that," the Ghost Widow threatened.

"I think I already have," Spider-Man said, shivering uncontrollably.

"You face the power of the Green now, wizard," Swamp Thing said, swiping at him.

"You hurt me," Mordru accused him. "How?"

"The Green is powerful," Swamp Thing said.

Mento by the way will use his Outsiders TA against Mordru

Character roll: 4, Spidey. Event roll: 5, possession, all right.

Zombie Spidey rolls to mc B.D. Needs 8, rolls 8. Blue Devil vs. Moon Knight (who should be at 2 after his hit on Ragman). Needs 8, 9. Knight gets 3.

Cool to see the old IC Spider-Man dusted off. Catwoman finally she something to do with him. Needs 10, rolls 5.

Mordru will burn off his protected for 1 damage.

Ghost Widow will push on Spider-Man. Needs 7, rolls 9. Cool. She heals 1 and Spider-Man takes another.

Nightmare to N6.

"What the devil are you doing?" Moon Knight asks as Blue Devil assaults him.

"I....don't know..." he laughs nervously after having chastised his ally for doing the same.

"Now you know what this place does to you," Moon Knight replies.

"Yuh-huh," Blue Devil replies as he nevertheless moves away from Moon Knight ever so slightly.

I had completely forgotten what an amazing AV the IC Spidey had. WHen I knew I had to hit Ghost Widow's 18 DV, he was a natural choice.

Either Ghost Widow's Damage is off (she should have taken 3 from Spidey's attack and 1 for the push) or if you used her Protected as well as Mordru's then being pushed, she couldn't attack Spidey. Which was it?

And while I'm mentioning things, for Blue Devil's attack on Moon Knight, it'd only be for 2 damage. You may have been looking at the Vet BD. I'm only using the Exp

I was really off with Ghost Widow. Let's simply have her burn off her protected.

B.D.'s damage at 2 is fine.

You're up!

Zatanna has a go at him, AV8 on DV17. Gets 8. Almost. She pushes herself out.

At the risk of being redundant with Swamp Thing, I'll bring in Man-Thing. He doesn't get played nearly enough. With Damage Shield. He'll attack Mordru, AV10 on DV17. Gets 7. 3 to Mordru with Exploit Weakness. Man-Thing takes 1.

Mento on Mordru, AV8 on DV16 +1. Gets 8. Almost.
