Is there a Herobuilder that works on OS X?

Thx, I'll try that

Suckerpunch has more or less retired from the CoH community, so the planner is not likely to be updated soon.

Right now, your options for build planning on the Mac are fairly limited:

* Suckerpunch's online planner - solid but hasn't been updated in a long time.
* Mids Hero Designer - the most up-to-date planner but lacks I14, I15, and (soon) I16 support. Doesn't run natively in OS X but you can run it through Parallels or VMWare, and there are some who've had luck getting it to run under Darwine with Mono.
* Someone's working on a Java-based cross-platform builder loosely based off Mids, but I think it will be a while before we see that released, even in an early stage.

Currently I run Mids off a VMWare Fusion virtual machine on my MacBook but since most of my playtime is on my Windows desktop I just run Mids natively on there.

if i were to build this...can i charge for it? do i need licenses for the images? use of names for the powers etc?

Pretty sure you can't charge for such a product, since it is based on the CoX IP, which is owned by NCSoft.

Actually, I've un-retired.
