ISSUE #1: The Mutants

Six heroes from all walks of life prepare to prove they are the best. The battle ground? Neutron City, home to many scientists. Home of the infamous Chrome Corp, known to be the originators of the

Miracle Serum

. But not all science goes as planned. As the heroes prepare to battle, a shriek is heard from down the street. A car is thrown against a building. The heroes run to the rescue and can't believe their eyes.

Before them is an oversized, mutant bunny. Ferocious fangs, thick sharp pointy fur, and a hungry look.

Someone's experiment has gone horribly wrong...

They appear to want to terrorize the humans and superheroes, but don't appear to mind one another.

Blackberry · Post Post #26 (isolation #12) » Mon May 05, 2014 4:02 pm

I forgot to mention: Attacks/Defense from the Creatures will not count towards Scrap Collector since you did not know about the creatures when bidding on your powers. Creature attacks will occur after all other attacks have been applied to defense when calculating Scrap Collector.

*ISSUE #2: Chaos Erupts

_{*Issue as in Comic Book Issue, not as in a problem.}

A

Mutant Vulture

soars down on our heroes with a piercing screech and deadly talons.

King Kong

manages to have enough strength to fend off it's attack. King Kong roars at the bird and it withdraws.

While the others scatter about looking to save the people of Neutron City, King Kong preps his

Banana Peel Launcher

and sets his eyes on his target. "Ew ew, ah ah" King Kong shouts as he fires a peel at Volt-Air.

Unfortunately for King Kong, a

Mutant Pigeon

swoops down and snatches

Volt-Air

.

"Let me go you dumb bird, or I'll make fried pigeon out of you!" sparks begin to fly from Volt-Air's hands. But the bird obeys, and Volt-Air crashes into the street. He's taken a hit, but he's still breathing.

…

Meanwhile, a

Giant Mutant Squid

manages to grasp both

The Helpless Hero

and the

Trash Monster

. The squid tightens his grip on the two heroes. The Trash Monster's

Reactive Defense

kicks into gear damaging the Squid. But it's not enough. "Help," The Helpless Hero manages to gasp out.

And help comes.

Volt-Air

zaps the squid from behind. It lets out a squeal.

Uh

uses his might moon fist and bashes the squid in the face. The grip on Trash Monster & The Helpless Hero quickly loosens. The four heroes look at the squid.

"The rest of you go help the others!" Volt-Air asks as he recharges.

"I'll stay here and make some calimari," he smirks as he stands over the defeated Squid.

The Helpless Hero runs off to attempt to help the innocent civilians.

…

Uh

&

Trash Monster

walk side by side. "Thanks for your help back there," Trash Monster says as he searches for scraps, to no avail.

"Anytime," Uh responds as a gigantic green tail smashes him in the face. Uh is dazed but once his vision clears he sees a

Mutant Crocodile

standing over him. The hunger is oozing from the crocodile's eyes.

Trash Monster tosses a dumpster at the Crocodile's head. This gives Uh enough time to get to his feet and escape the croc.

…

The Helpless Hero

, now free, bursts through the street looking to be of some assistance. OH NO! He's ripped his shirt! Bulging muscles develop from underneath. Roid rage? Whatever the cause, the Hero quickly becomes very helpful.

The Vulture and Pigeon dive in towards a group of civilians. The Helpless Hero picks up an empty bus and thrusts it all the birds. The birds scatter and the civilians are saved.

The Helpless Hero has saved 13 civilians! Maybe he's not so helpless after all?

But

Uh

sees this and envy boils in his blood. Might moon fist! BAM!

Helpless Hero falls to his knees, not knowing what hit him. He doesn't have time to fight back though, as his flesh wound antagonizes him.

…

Uh

shakes his head. He doesn't know what came over him. The moon changes so quickly, as do Uh's emotions. Out of the corner of his eye he sees

Ice Guard

fending off the

Giant Mutant Bunny

.

Mighty moon fist! The Bunny yips and hops away.

"I can take care of myself," Ice Guard snaps at Uh, giving him the cold shoulder as he walks away.

"Uh, ok…" Uh sighs.

ISSUE #3: Heroism

"It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "No, it's a giant pigeon soaring the sky!" The citizens scatter.

...

Below, the

Mutant Bunny

closes in on

Ice Guard

. It snaps it jaws at the icy dude.

Ice Guard doesn't flinch. He stands defensively and grins, shards of ice cover his body and threaten the fluffy creature.

The bunny hops backwards and finds new prey. Two little kids hiding beneath a stop sign. The bunny roars and flashes his grizzly fangs. Ice Guard stands back and does absolutely nothing.

But

The Helpless Hero

comes to the rescue! He rips up the stop sign and slams it into the bunny's face. BAM! It hops away.

Two more citizens saved! The kids hug The Helpless Hero.

...

Meanwhile,

Uh

and the

Mutant Crocodile

appear to be in deadly combat. Mighty moon fist! POW! The crocodile braces himself for the blow. The croc retaliates by bashing Uh with his tail. Uh is knocked back into the wall, but appears to be undamaged.

King Kong

and

Volt-Air

walk up to Uh and check on him. The three watch as the croc approaches a grow of bystanders.

"HAVE NO FEAR! THE HELPLESS HERO IS HERE!"

The Helpless Hero

leaps behind the croc.

Uh

eyes him with jealousy and launches a banana peel at him. Luckily for The Helpless Hero, Uh misses.

The Helpless Hero grabs the croc's tail with his big hulking muscles, and slings the mutant down the street.

The civilians cheer. "THE HELPLESS HERO IS AWESOME!" "I WANT AN AUTOGRAPH!" "ARE YOU SINGLE?" The civilians gather around and continue to praise The Helpless Hero. He grins happily. For once, he feels very helpful indeed.

The Helpless Hero has saved 20 citizens!

…

Uh, Volt-Air, and King Kong eye The Helpless Hero with envy raging in their eyes.

"You know what to do," Uh announces.

"OOO OOO AHHH AHH" wild monkey sounds boom from King Kong as he leaps forward and pounds The Helpless Hero into the ground.

BOOM! BLAM! A mighty moon punch from Uh sends The Helpless Hero flying into a taxi.

The Helpless Hero staggers back to his feet. Bruised. Battered. Defeated? Not yet. An electric burst blasts The Helpless Hero from behind.

"A

shocking

turn of events, eh? " Volt-Air smirks, sparks flying from his finger tips.

The Helpless Hero lays unconscious. The stunned citizens begin to tear up, their hero is officially helpless.

…

While Volt-Air stands mocking the fallen,

Trash Monster

lets out an unusual mechanical roar and pummels Volt-Air.

Simultaneously,

Mutant Vulture

swoops in and picks up

King Kong

. It proceeds to slam him into a heap of vehicles.

Volt-Air stands up trying to recover. He prepares to recharge.

The sound of shattering glass. Volt-Air spins around. A gigantic

Mutant Rat

has just emerged from the chrome-laced building behind him and charges right for him.

ISSUE #4: Melting Ice

The

Mutant Bunny

hops after

Ice Guard

. Ice Guard chuckles and prepares his ice shield. The bunny hops away and looks for a new snack. Ice Guard smirks, "Way too easy!"

...

Volt-Air

approaches

Uh

and

Trash Monster

as they watch the bunny hop away. "Ice Guard? More like Ice Coward. He's done nothing helpful this whole time. We should jolt some sense into him."

Uh and Trash Monster are already on the same page. The three of them move quickly.

Mighty moon fist!

Uh

manages to shatter a large portion of Ice Guard's defense, but he's still unharmed. Uh is caught off guard when the

Mutant Croc

tries to swallow him. Using his ancient moon tai-chi skills, Uh mimics Ice Guard's defense. And easily blocks the croc's attempt. "Hmm, this Ice Shield is kinda useful."

Ice Guard is happy that his ice shield has held up… so far.

Trash Monster

charges towards Ice Guard with a manhole cover in hand, "Time to take out the trash!" BAM! Trash Monster manages to shatter the remainder of the ice shield.

Ice Guard tries to run away from the ambush, he sees a banana peel fly over his head, "What the?" he is then startled by

Volt-Air

's sudden appearance.

A gigantic bolt of lightning bursts from Volt-Air and knocks Ice Guard back.

"Bet you didn't know electricity could melt ice?" Volt-Air boasts.

…

A pathetic miss. Drats!

King Kong

thrashes about, unable to control his rage. He launched a banana peel at Volt-Air and it was way off!

King Kong jumps down from off the top of a building and lands on Volt-Air. Volt-Air manages to get up from King Kong's heavy weight and the two stand starting at one another.

"Back off ape, or I'll fry you too," Volt-Air threatens.

Suddenly, both of them are lifted into the air.

The

Mutant Pigeon

picks up Volt-Air with his talons and tosses him into a window.

The

Mutant Vulture

tosses King Kong into a dumpster.

The birds disperse.

…

Uh

, using mystical moon powers, leaps into the air and mighty moon punches the Vulture, sending it spiraling into the street.

…

Meanwhile, the

Mutant Rat

is terrorizing the citizens.

An old lady and man hide under a car. The man whispers "Did you just see where that mutant came from?"

"That building over there?"

"Do you know what building that is?"

The older lady squints, "Chrome Corp?"

The man nods, "Look at what they've done."

ISSUE #5: Shocking Betrayal

The

Mutant Bunny

stomps after

Ice Guard

. He manages to fend him off with his reliable icy shield. Ice Guard darts behind a corner to hide from the treacherous bunny.

Volt-Air

launches a banana peel at Ice Guard in an attempt to slip him up. MISS! A banana peel is tossed at Volt-Air's feet.
Volt-Air chuckles, "Ha, what a fool. Come on Uh & Trash Monster, let's finish Ice Guard and King Kong off!"

Volt-Air spins around to find a mighty moon fist collide with his face, compliments of

Uh

. Volt-Air crashes into a building. He's not sure what shocks him more, the mighty impact of the fist or the fact that his formal ally just thrust him into a wall.

Volt-Air regains himself and gets back to his feet. Only to be met with a dumpster crashing into his skull.

Trash Monster

blurts some mechanical witty comment that is hard to understand. Volt-Air blasts the dumpster back with his electricity. He looks around and angrily eyes Uh and Trash Monster. "Traitors!" he shouts.

King Kong

leaps from a building and takes a swing at Volt-Air. But Volt-Air has his defenses up and King Kong is met with an electric blast that sends King Kong clear across town.

…

Just when they thought the dust had settled, the mutants make their move.

King Kong

lands on a heap of cars. He's taken a hit, but he's still in it. The

Mutant Vulture

dives in and pecks at the monkey man.

Uh

thinks he has gotten away unscathed, when the

Mutant Crocodile

bashes his head into Uh.

Volt-Air

recharges his power. The

Mutant Rat

appears from the shadows and sinks his teeth into the electric fiend.

ISSUE #6: Bloodbath

The mutants are getting restless… and hungry.

The

Mutant Rat

and

Mutant Pigeon

chase after

Volt-Air

. They both get a good hit in on him, but he blasts them back with his electric sparks. He has bigger heroes to fry.

...

The

Mutant Bunny

hops towards Ice Guard, who still has his loyal ice shield up protecting him.

…

Uh

engages in combat with the pesty

Mutant Crocodile

. The crocodile snaps at Uh and manages to scratch him with his sharp teeth.

"No more games," Uh yells. He gathers up the strength of the moon. MIGHTY MOON FIST! It's knock-out, the crocodile lays defeated against the subway entrance.

The

Mutant Vulture

pecks

King Kong

. King Kong swats him away. Luckily, King Kong is big enough to endure such attacks.

He stands next to Uh.

"You ready?" Uh looks at King Kong.

"Ooo, ooo, ahh ahh," King Kong replies.

Uh

and

King Kong

jump on top of

Volt-Air

.

Mighty Moon Fist! Zzzzapp! Ooo ooo agh agh!

King Kong is knocked back but appears unharmed. Volt-Air comes out with a black eye. Uh is tossed back into a fountain.

Sparks fly from Volt-Air's hands as he grins at Uh, "That's one small spark for man, one giant zap for Uh-kind." The electricity reaches the fountain and Uh is electrocuted.

Clearly in no condition to continue.

Volt-Air isn't done.

He turns to

Trash Monster

, who's appears to have gotten his foot stuck in a manhole.

The self-proclaimed god fires his electricity at the helpless Trash Monster. The Trash Monster tears up and runs away in fear, couldn't handle the electricity.

Ice Guard and King Kong gather in fear. The treacherous Volt-Air and mutant creatures closing in… Is there any hope left?

ISSUE #7: Banana Slip

Ice Guard

tosses a banana peel at Volt-Air, then retreats to his ice shield.

The

Mutant Bunny

gnaws away at the ice shield.

...

Volt-Air

sights the banana peel, and *GASPS*, he manages to dodge it, once again.

He uses his own banana peel and tosses it at King Kong.

King Kong

, the giant ape, isn't so lucky. He slips on the banana peel and tumbles to the ground. The

Mutant Vulture

swoops in and claws at the defenseless ape.

ZZZZAAAAP!

King Kong lays defeated.

The Vulture also looks fried and tries to skitter off.

Volt-Air smirks, "It's electric." He then proceeds to do the electric slide while zapping some of the other mutants.

The Mutant Pigeon falls from the skies, caught in an electric blast from Volt-Air.

The

Mutant Rat

manages to resist getting damaged by the shocks.

…

Volt-Air

continues dancing and approaches Ice Guard and his Mutant Bunny foe.

"Oh, let me help you furry friend." Volt-Air zaps the ice shield, reducing it to nothing.

Ice Guard manages to run off before he can get shocked.

The Mutant Bunny licks up the ice shield.

"Silly bunny," Volt-Air zaps the Mutant Bunny. Severely injured, the bunny hops off.

Volt-Air laughs menacingly.

ISSUE #8: Bzaaap!

BZAAAP!

Volt-Air

unleashes his electricity on the grotesque mutants.

The

Mutant Vulture

collapses to the streets. The citizens cheer and run away to avoid getting bird flu.

The

Mutant Rat

tries to scamper away to the sewers but is shocked to find Volt-Air zap him into defeat.

The

Mutant Bunny

nibbles on his favorite snack, ice shield, and doesn't even see the bolts that electrocute him.

...

Ice Guard

puts up his ice shield and tries to hold off Volt-Air.

"Oh Ice Guard, did you ever consider that you weren't going to win by hiding behind a shield?"

Volt-Air

laughs. "You may have made it this far, but what was the point of building up your ice kingdom if it's just going to melt in the end?" The sparks fly.

Ice Guard

lays defeated in a pile of shattered ice.

…

Volt-Air

turns to the citizens. Will he be perceived as the city's hero… or villain?

RANDOM MOD

NOTES

THOUGHTS

"Overpowered Powers" - Although my personal opinion is any power perceived as 'overpowered' instantly makes that person a target and can be stopped quite quickly. However, I think in this particular game, the player's early inaction caused their demise.

Before Round 2 when I was hinting there were other

threats

, I was actually referring to both Aronis and Caycedo.

I was rather surprised people targeted Ice Guard Round 3 and not Caycedo.

Due to Caycedo's allocations, he could have been defeated Round 5 had DCDiplomat attacked him and/or readjusted his attacks on Caycedo.

I was expecting (hoping?) the miracle serum dudes might have used their ability to gain banana peel launchers and assault Volt-Air with them along with King Kong.

Although I have my opinion on 'overpowered powers', if I were to redo it again, I would have modified Recharge from the beginning.

If the lesson from last game was to not overbid, I think the lesson from this game should be to perceive the power's capabilities and take action early before it's too late

.

…

If anyone hasn't figured out the mutants, each hero had a mutant "foe(s)" of 20 Energy. A dice was used to determine how much the mutant would attack their target (1,2 - 25%, 3,4,5 -50%, 6-100%). If at any point the mutant's combined energy was more than the hero's combined energy (or if there was only 1 hero left), the mutants would have broken from their pattern and full-out attacked all the heroes.
