The Avengers, written up for Dresden

[Shaft]

I just saw the latest Avengers 2 trailer and thought it might be fun to stat up the Avengers.

Since they're superheroes, as opposed to "normal" heroes I decided to give them extra Refresh as needed.  Most of them are written up on 20-25 Refresh, 40+ skills points, although Iron Man costs a bit more (50+).

Feedback is welcome.

[Mr. Death]

Both of them should have much higher Guns ratings. I'd put Tony's Guns rating way higher than Fists or Weapons.

I envisioned Iron Man's repulsors as being built like the Breath Weapon Power, which uses Weapons.

[Taran]

There was a thread somewhere with some of these Superheroes.  Namely, the hulk, Captain America and Iron Man. 

There was Batman and Superman too but, obviously, different universe.  I'll try to find it...

[Taran]

Here's a few:
Hulk

another Hulk (and Batman)

Here's The Mandarin  (I couldn't find Iron Man)

Found him (at waist deep)

There was a big thread that I can find that had a whole slew of superheroes, but I can't find it.

Your write-ups look pretty solid.

I haven't seen any of the movies, but I can look over the stats on a mechanical level tomorrow.

Dunno exactly which thread you mean, but here are some superhero stats:

There's also my Worm thread, but that's a bit different.

Thanks!  I was hoping you'd do that.  I suspect that my Hulk build needs close inspection since I may have gotten some of the mechanics wrong.

[Taran]

Dunno exactly which thread you mean, but here are some superhero stats:

I seem to remember one where people were statting out various versions of Batman...I think Iron man, superman and the Hulk were also on that thread.

Belial's version of Batman...maybe I'll search for that.

[Mr. Death]

There's nothing stopping you from having Breath Weapon use guns instead.

Because a Weapons rating that high for Tony makes no sense -- you've never seen him use a sword or any kind of melee weapon, have you? Everything in his armor is long range, projectile weapons.

And Steve is a soldier, him having no Guns rating at all just doesn't make sense -- I know he relies mainly on his shield and his fists now, but he's definitely trained with firearms.

[Taran]

Here it is:  But it's only Batman....none of the other guys.

These are good points
