Give me the secret to the anti-puppet equation!

Well dammit.

What character are you looking for? There's a lot of fan-made datafiles and some of them are posted on online library sites that can be viewed (limited access) for free.

I have no idea, I just wanted to look at a bunch of official ones and see what caught my eye. One fan made thing I saw had a silver surfer with nothing but D12's everywhere and I thought that was a bit much and got curious as to what the official ones said, and then a bunch of fan ones don't have milestones.

Hoping to try and post a character for the x-men/mad men game so I wanted to look at a bunch of characters and see what looked fun.

To be totally honest, I understand wanting to browse the datafiles because I did so as soon as I got the core book, but I've found that the game is so story and plot-driven that the best way to do things is to pick a character and concept you like and then worry about a datafile after you've got your character picked. I did that with my first game and have not regretted it. The game is extremely well-balanced (outside fan-made insanity like Silver Surfer, who is ridiculous anyway) and so no matter who you pick if there's a well-made datafile you'll be useful and have fun. Because yeah, outside of buying the books I don't think you'll be able to browse through a bunch of official datafiles.

Give me the secret to the anti-puppet equation!

So I'm seriously considering putting a game together on here based on X-Men #190-191, the storyline where Kulan Gath takes over Manhattan and essentially turns it into a Conan-themed amusement park. It'll probably take me about a month or so of planning but I just wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions on ways to customize datafiles and make them a bit more barbarian themed. I was figuring that with the way that story worked most characters could probably just keep the same datafile and just use roleplaying to make them more unique but I wasn't sure about giving some of the characters a weapon power to give them a sword or something.
