Maybe I'll reskin Living Dead. Also, I already read this issue is a good one, but I already have a fourth wall breaker (and he reacts to whatever medium he's in. When he's in video games, he references that instead of comic books, so he'd adapt to an RPG).

He'll have a teleportation power, some stunts to make him better with grenades, guns, and swords, Mythic recovery, and maybe a power allowing him to break the fourth wall. Oh, and a ton of stunts boosting his infuriate trapping.

Teleport is more like an IoP that has a rebate for a high chance of power failure.  
Aspect: I Played This Module Before...Booo!

Requesting he be portrayed more like the badass merc he was before he sort of was delegated mostly comic relief.  The comedy is key to the character but after reading most of his recent issues for the last year plus he lost some of his edge in lieu of comedy. :-[

he's the leader of the Avengers.

actually no he's not last time i checked he was just the strategist, cause i thought ironman was the actual leader but ill have to look it up again

after dead pool hats next wolverine or maybe lets just go off the charts with powerful people from marvel comic's like Thor or the silver surfer with the ultimate IoP his surfing board
that would be and interesting build???????
i might have to try it

awesome job with jack and mom by the way Sanctaphrax

oh and i don't remeber who said it but caps shield doesn't absorb kinetic energy. that person is wrong
otherwise it wouldn't be able to move. that person is right
it merely soak up the energy and disapates it out the side of the shield

also what about the cutting off the head of dead pool

"The Crow" should be wasy to stat up, except for the bird and how it connects to him/her and the power provided.  Living IoP?

I remember an old thread about what Familiars should be like... I usually use an aspect, or if the familiar is central to combat for the character, a power enabling him to better command the bird.

The Crow is more like the conduit from which power is drawn.  Neither of those solutions really work well, when if it is damaged or taken away, the powers are diminished or gone.

So it wouldn't work as a Catch, then?

Can all powers have a catch, including speed and strength, and incite emotion?

About Captain America: I just don't like the thematic implications of Physical Immunity for him. When he stops the Hulk's punches, I see that as rolling a defence that's higher than the Hulk's attack roll.

About Gilgamesh: This doesn't look like the Gilgamesh I know. Is this the one from that japanese thing? I think it's called Fate/Stay Night or something like that. Also, I think his custom powers and IoPs need work. I would rather that the custom powers be upgrades to Modular Abilities that just let him use IoPs as his power configurations.

About Mother Sleet: I'm not sure how Magical Aura and Magical Repair are meant to work. Could you provide an example?

About Jack Frost: You don't need ideas for Modular Abilities since the power automatically includes all possible ones. As for Supernatural Senses, detecting emotions is always a good one. Being able to detect allegiance would also be handy. I'll mention more when I think of more. (I assume that your last request was about Jack, since Mother Sleet doesn't have Supernatural Senses or Modular abilities.

I used Fate/ Stay Nights Gilgamesh as a base because besides from Epic Combat Skills, mountains of pride and the chain of the gods (the one he used to defeat the bull of heaven) there isn't much in the Epic of Gilgamesh that could actually be statted. Because the character I am statting has more item of powers than any amount of refresh could account for I was trying to work on the concept he would only use a few items of Power at a time limited by his modular abilities. So his power configuration is based up which of his 1001 wonders he is using at the time, other than his natural superhuman abilites him being the strongest man in all his nation.

I was under the impression that the Crow had some sort of Recovery Power that was tied to the actual crow, and that wounding or compromising the animal would hinder the Crow's ability to heal from damage. I wouldn't tie his other powers to it. I feel that Living Dead is an inexact match for his power set.
