  1. Is queenie not there? She got higher init than me
  2. Well the nearest one was right behind the poor Zookeeper. Or rather right above her as Gimmick bounded over her and fired off some of his "Silly String." Which...does nothing as lions have sharp claws and can rip through things. Like...chemical strings that are supposed to harden on contact with air but picked TODAY to fizzle slowly. "Miss you need to run. I got this. Trust me I aint...Lion" Gimmick does a corny pose with that one, sort of like a clown would on delivery.
  3. Rubble Power Level: 10 built as 8 (150/150) Unspent Power Points: 0 . Trade-Offs: -3 Attack / +3 Damage, -3 Defense / +3 Toughness In Brief: Formerly petrified 90's kid. Catchphrase: Awkward Silence as he tries to think of something cool Theme: NA Alternate Identity: Benny Reedstone, The Petrified Teen Birthplace: Freedom City memorial hospital Residence: Claremont Academy Base of Operations: Claremont Academy Occupation: Costumed Adventurer Affiliations: NextGen Family: Dr Maria Reedstone (mother) Description: Age: 36 (DoB: 1984) Apparent Age: 16 Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 5'6 (Nonpowered) 9'5 (powered) Weight: 120 (Non powered) Eyes: Blue Hair: Brown Muddy brown hair, freckled, tan skin. Almost always wears a pair of jean shorts and a blue T Shirt with the Atom's Family logo on it. He's a shorter and more lanky kid than most his age...well his age pre-petrification. History: In 1985 Benjamin "Benny" Reedstone was born as the first and only child of geologist Dr Maria Reedstone. His mother did some work for the Atom Family, at least occasionally, and in the year 2000, during one of these jobs involving a meteor carrying a new element that the Atoms wanted Dr Reedstone's feedback on, Benny was accidentally exposed to an alien virus, and petrifying completely over a few hours. Despite being immobile, unable to eat or drink or even breath, Benny was definitely alive, at least according to the Atom's families readings. He then spent the next 20 years petrified in stone, trapped in a lucid dream state as the group continually worked towards or at least funded research for a cure to Benny's condition. In January of 2020, the Atom's Family completed work on a cure for Benny. It worked...but there was some side effects to it. Namely "Benny" came back as a 9 ft tall, angry monster made of pure stone surrounding his body that went on a rampage through Freedom City until Chase Atom managed to telepathically repair the teens mind. He would, over the next few months, develop the ability to return to his humanoid form, and draw in stone and other rubble from around him to reform his armor. With his powers both lacking subtilty and being...dangerous to control Personality & Motivation: "Why do I do th-Dude. When life gives you lemons, you make Lemonade. When life makes it to where you can turn into a giant solid stone monster, you become a superhero!...If you have any form of morality that is" That perfectly sums up his personal opinion on why he heroes, or why anyone would hero. He has super powers, what else would he do with them? Part of his superheroic's motivations may indeed involve making up for the damage he caused after his initial de-petrification, something he does at least feel subconsciously guilty about despite being out of his right mind. Also he...really wants to pass Claremont and learn how to use his abilities. He keeps accidentally breaking things. he's had to get 2 new phones in as many months since getting his powers. Powers & Tactics: Power Descriptions: Rubble's Armor is made of, well, rubble. Cement and Rebar, any other piece of the surroundings can be part of it. However, due mostly to the fact he's almost always in a city, he's almost always a cement grey in color. Stone is almost always the majority element in his form, and these extra materials (Rebar, broken glass, etc) due little to add to his abilities. Hypothetically in an area with less Concrete and more, say, Sandstone, Rubble's form would take on a more orange or reddish color. Complications: Accident Prone: Rubble is not used to his new strength in his Rock Form and tends to break things. He should not be trusted with delicate tasks or breakable objects. Reputation: Rock Monster. Yeah when you went on a rampage shortly after receiving powers, people remember it. Outta Time: Being petrified means that Rubble hit the skip button on the last 20 years or so. He really, really needs to get with the times because of this and can often ABILITIES 8PP (0 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 4) Strength: 32/10 (+11/+0), 47/10 Lifting (Heavy Load: 16,640 lbs.

  4. As the man flees Gimmick pulls out what looks like an old-fashioned jar of shaving cream from his bag of tricks. "Oh no you dont!" He presses down on the top of the "Shaving Cream" can and it fires off some of his signature Silly String that sticks the man to a light post as the crooked tried to pass it.
  5. And then gimmick ran after the car, the springs in his shoes propelling him forward in speeds faster than any normal human should be able to as he passed the telsa and chucked a handful of what looked like firecrackers into the cars windsheild. Those "Firecrackers" then exploded and gave off a bright flash more than they should have been able to.
  6. 23 to hit with Joy Tazer (Electricity based attack)
  7. Sure. I have luck so I have another one after that. I'll roll to hit?
  8. After a few minutes of flying after the person he now realized was the hero called Waverider, he noticed a bit of a ruckus around...Protectron! "Protectron! Sir!" The Visionary flies over to his fellow mechanical hero, hovering over the crowd. "Are you in need of any assistance?"
  9. Lets make this clear. I am NOT a vigilante. Dogpound leaps across rooftop to rooftop in the Fenz. Despite what some people in the city will tell you, I’m no Menace either. As the much younger hero runs across the rooftops we see a billboard advertising the reopening of Freedom Hall. My name is Jack Sounder. 6 months ago, I took an after-school job at ASTRO Labs. While I was there a Test Dog that the staff affectionately named “Butcher” bit me. Afterwards I started to develop some new abilities. My teeth got sharper, I could hear and smell things better. I run fast enough to keep up with cars and I’m strong enough to rip doors off them. I’m not what you’d call “Normal”. I started using this new, particular skill set to help out in the Fenz and so far I’ve been pretty successful as “Dog Pound”. Unfortunately due to a misunderstanding during my first outing a lot of people think I murdered a guy, so the rest of the Superhero community thinks I’m some kind of violent anti-hero who needs to be stopped. I’m sure you can tell how that complicates things a bit. Dogpound, who as he comes into the light we see is at most a 16 year old jumps over a ledge, seemingly following a highway alongside the buildings. There is an armored car speeding down said highway. I’ve had some success since I started heroing over the last few months. I mean, what else was I gonna do? I took out a few of the more C lister guys. Some of Augustus Roman’s goons. The Bee-Keeper, well the second one, some jerk who stole the original’s gear after he retired, beat him too. But today is nothing as flashy at all. Inside the armored car is a group of men in ski masks. These guys aren’t super-anythings. Just a bunch of fruitcakes with guns who think they can get away with hijacking an armored truck. So generic. Nothing creative about it at all. There is a firm Thud on the roof of the Car. The goon driving leans out of the window with a pistol and is pulled from his seat. So I won’t be creative either. “Should have worn your seatbelt pal.” With that, he jumped off the Armored car, still holding onto the goon as he landed in the street behind the car. As it slammed into a light post, he tossed the driver into an open dumpster nearby. Those things were built to survive heavy fire. The guys in the back are… The two goons who had been in the back emerge, mostly unscathed. Yeah, that. Need to wrap this up quickly though, before the Freedom League gets here and try to arrest me again. Dogpound rushes the two, hitting the first in the stomach before he can pull his gun, ducking under a shot from the second, closing the last bit of the distance and landing an uppercut on his chin. And now I need to go. Immediately. Or else Captain Thunderpants is going to try to toss me in the lock up again. I flee the scene, leaving a note for the cops on who stopped these guys, and just like that I’m outta there. --------YOUNG DOG POUND---------

  11. "Yeah. Not sure what to add to that and I don't think I should need to repeat it." Gimmick reached into his bag and produced an aerosol can. "Put him next to the wall, I'll make sure he can't leave and we can continue."
