Because I am a colossal nerd, I made up the SHIELD Agent PC from the Avengers Alliance Facebook game. Figured I may as well post it here for critque and so on as I'm still grappling with the system.

THE AGENT
Solo D6
Buddy D8

Field Agent
Takes Orders from the Top
Rookie in the Limelight
SHIELD ARMOURY
Weapon d8
Enhanced Durability D8
Something the Boys in the Lab Cooked Up: At the cost of creating a resource, step up or double WEAPON for the duration of the resource.
All the Best Toys: Spend 1PP to add the highest dice in the doom pool to your roll. Step it back before returning it.
Area Attack: Against multiple targets, add 1d6 for each additional target, and keep an extra effect dice.
Limit: Gear: Shut down a SHIELD ARMOURY power to gain 1PP. Take action vs the DOOM POOL to recover.

AVENGERS INITIATIVE
1 XP when you meet a hero for the first time
3 XP when you delegate a task to another hero
10 XP when you use your contacts to assemble a team that saves the world, or break off all ties with SHIELD and go it alone.
WHAT IS ISO-8?
1 XP when you explain ISO-8 to another person
3 XP when you encounter or discover a new use for ISO-8
10 XP when you harness the power of ISO-8 for the good of all mankind, or destroy it all declaring it to be too dangerous.
This could probably also work as a generic SHIELD agent if you change the milestones and distinctions a bit, ISO-8 in particular is very tied into the games plot.

In a few weeks I'm going to be starting up the Civil War event, and wanted some advice.
Number one, does anyone have any experience running the event using the troupe system, and if so is there anything to watch out for? I'm going to be enforcing a few rules, mostly that you can't play as the leader of both sides (So we can have climactic PVP showdowns at critical story points).
Two, XP costs for heroes. I'm currently setting it at 5 for a hero, 10 to get them to switch sides while you're at it, 15 and a good excuse to bring in someone who has no business being there (Cosmic and non-US heroes). Is this a good system, or are costs too low/high?
Also, since you seem to like datafiles in here, here's one for Orson Randall I'm working on for one of my players.

My Civil War game has started up and thus far is an absolute blast. I've decided to make a few changes to continuity to make the government not cartoonishly evil, one of the changes being from the Mac Gargan version of Venom to Agent Venom. Unfortunately for flash, I haven't read any comics starring him so I'm going purely by wikis for the datafile. Could someone with more knowledge of the character tell me what I'm doing wrong with this datafile?

LIMIT: WE ARE VENOM! When you take emotional trauma, move all emotional stress and trauma to the doom pool, shut down all SYMBIOTE SFX and activate OUT OF CONTROL.
OUT OF CONTROL
When Flash loses control of the Symbiote, it starts integrating itself deeper with his body and mind. In this form he acts closer to the traditional Venom, though Flash is still in there fighting to get it back under wraps.
While OUT OF CONTROL is active, use the Affiliations and Distinctions after the slash.
SFX: Berzerk. Before taking an action, add a doom dice to your pool. Step up the dice before returning it, or step up the next highest dice if it was a D12.
SFX: Monstrous Toughness. Spend a PP to ignore physical stress, unless caused by fire or sonic based attacks.
SFX: Tentacles. When inflicting a RESTRAINED complication, add a D6 and step up the effect dice.
LIMIT: Unstable. Step up emotional stress received to gain 1PP.
LIMIT: I AM VENOM! When you take emotional trauma, move all emotional stress and trauma to the doom pool, shut down OUT OF CONTROL and activate all SYMBIOTE SFX.

10 XP When you either settle down and commit to one woman, or break a woman's heart to carry on your philandering ways.
Affiliations are mostly a guess. It seems that whenever he's on his own, things go BADLY for him, while he looks to be at his best operating with a partner. Plus the system needs more buddy heroes.

I was debating splitting his powers up, but Bishop has his guns as part of his energy control power set. According to wikipedia he has enhanced physical attributes as a result of his kinetic energy control powers being used to propel himself, and if those are folded into the kinetic control power set that just leaves the staff as a weapon dice all on its lonesome. Also most mutants only have the one powerset and a second one really boosts a characters oomph, so I didn't want him too out of line from Colossus, Cyclops, Beast, Emma Frost and the like.
Bust is in as a one size fits all limit to represent him getting too exhausted/unfocused to effectively use his physicality, dropping his staff, AND running out of cards/handy debris to use kinetic blast with. Mostly because I think just "Mutant" is kind of boring. And any way you slice it, he's not out of the game entirely given it only shuts down individual powers, and it's easy for him to buy back in with a plot point (poker pun).
Good point on the Kinetic Control though

Having slept on it, you guys are right, as goons usually are. Here's the version I wound up giving the player.
Also I've been working on Juggernaut for her. He's basically unstoppable as long as you're doing direct physical confrontation, but he doesn't have much recourse against clever complications, which seems to be how Juggernaut gets defeated usually.

My Civil War game ended on Monday night. There were thrills, spills, ups and downs, and everyone had a grand old time. But you're not here to listen to me tell you about how great my fanfiction is. No, you're here for datafiles. Like this guy:
quote:Kang the Conqeror
Solo 3d10
Buddy 3d6

DISTINCTIONS

40th Century Man.
POWERSET: RAIMENT OF THE CONQEROR

Godlike Durability d12
Force Blast d10
Weapon d10
Flight d8
SFX: Immunity (Spend a doom dice to ignore complications or stress related to hunger, thirst or radiation)
SFX: Multipower (Add multiple RAIMENT OF THE CONQUEROR powers to your dice pool, stepping back all RAIMENT OF THE CONQEROR in the pool for each one added beyond the first)
SFX: Area Attack (When attacking multiple targets, add a d6 and keep an extra effect dice for each target beyond the first)
SFX: Arsenal Spanning Space and Time (Spend a doom dice to step up or double WEAPON for one action, and add a descriptor to it)
SFX: Damocles, Engage! (Spend a doom dice to step up a tech, science or vehicle resource and step down mental or emotional stress)
SFX: Orbital bombardment (Spend a doom dice to step up and double FORCE BLAST for one action, then shut down FORCE BLAST. Activate an opportunity to recover)
SFX: Large Scale Threat (Kang always uses his Solo affiliation dice, unless working with beings of similar scope. Defeat a solo dice with d12 stress)
Limit: Epic Arrogance (Kang may not spend doom dice to use his effect dice from a reaction pool, unless the hero has previously inflicted stress or a complication on him)
Limit: INFERIOR WORMS! (Step up mental or emotional stress from more primitive life-forms to gain d6 doom)
SPECIALTIES
Combat Master: d10

I had him show up at the climax trying to exploit their weakness to alter the timestream, to give the players a reason to stop fighting. You could probably stand to bump his affiliation dice up a notch or two, I just didn't want the fight to drag on too long.
