Variety Is the Spice of Something or Other


I like the variety that the game affords. In just a few small changes, I really do feel like an encounter with one villain will feel very different from another. Here's another character who is a little out there - he's somewhere between Loki and Bat Mite - but he fits in perfect with the new way I'm framing out Doc. The 'fact' that Doc's adventures have been published through different eras of comics, and by different creators, means that there's no single, narrow genre he has to adhere to. One issue, he's battling a petty street criminal, and in another he's on an inter-dimensional jaunt to foil Oberion. All in a day's work for the Mighty Doc Stalwart. 

I'm thinking he's got really high PWR (like 24) with sorcery, hex, and that controlled chaos talent. Probably also has serial immortality, because he blows himself up a lot. The limitation is that he cannot appear until the next blue moon (or something like that). I like that Doc is always watching the phases of the moon, and has the next several appearances of Oberion circled on his calendar years in advance...
