Zeus posted...Today's POTD As per the Marvel Superheroes RPG from 1984-1986, the "standard" origins for characters are: Mutant (X-Men) Altered Human (Captain America/Fantastic Four/Spider-Man) Hi-Tech Wonder (Iron Man/Hawkeye/Punisher) Alien (Skrulls/Kree/etc) Robot (Vision/Machine Man) Human w/Magic (Doctor Strange) Blade would actually fall under Altered Human, because there isn't really a mechanical difference between vampire blood in utero and radioactive spider bites. Ghost Rider would probably be the same, though he might shade into magic depending on how you interpret things (but mechanically in game terms, he's very much Altered Human). Moon Knight is mostly a Hi-Tech Wonder (just like Batman), albeit a crazy one who may or may not be possessed by an ancient god (which would shade him into Magic or Altered Human). Lucifer would probably classify as an "Alien" (in the same way Thor technically does). Constantine's just a dude (and a dick) with magic. Scarlet Witch would be a Mutant, then a Mutant w/Magic, then "Not Really a Mutant But Still Totally Magic, Because Fox Still Has the Rights to X-Men, So She and Quicksilver Are Totally Altered Humans Now", and probably Mutant w/Magic again eventually now that they got the rights back. Swamp Thing would depend on which version of the character you're thinking of - the one where he's a guy who turned into a plant thing, or the plant being that got confused and thought it was human. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
