Some, shall we say, liberties were taken when writing this - my only defense is that Darkseid really is a tough spud to quantify. Height: 228cm (7'6"), Weight: 234kg (515 lbs), Sex: Male, Race: New God Appearance: A face only a monther could love. The man looks like a walking granite statue. Notes * Omega Effect Notes (1): I've deliberately written the Omega Effect rather oddly from a mechanics perspective because it's a perculiar set of effect to write up in the Hero system. In some ways I'm really not getting much for the points I've spent (but I spent a lot of them). The way it works per Mark Waid's write-up for Who's Who: "Darkseid's most terrifying - and unpredictable - power is the ability to project beams from his eyes. These beams, known as the "Omega Effect," lock on to Darkseid's targt and trace it wherever it goes. No matter what, it will eventually connect, causing one of several effect..." * Omega Effect Notes (2): In the Hero system though, the "will track down the target and eventually hit him" is just not normal so I improvised. First off the powers are Uncontrolled, Continuous and Unrelenting (new advantage just made up) , so Darkseid doesn't have to continue to pay attention to is after using it and does't have to keep making new attack rolls. Next, the 10 levels with attack. Each phase, if the attack misses the target, add one to the OCV and make a new attack roll. Do this until the attack hits or you've made 10 attempts (if by the time the OCV reaches 28, it still doesn't hit, the target deserves to escape). * Omega Effect Notes (3): Other advantage to help emulate the desired effect: No Range Modifiers and Trans-Dimensional - running away doesn't help. 0 ENDurance - at 400+ active points and potentially being burned 10 times per target, the END usage was just silly. Unrelenting - just made this one up because Continuous only (normally) kicks in if your attack was successful. The gist of it is that it is a modifier to a continuous power that allows it to keep trying after missing. ============================================================================ My basis for the powers and characteristics is a combination of Mayfair's DC Heroes RPG, DC Comic's Who's Who in the DC Universe, and my own twisted mind.
