Trying to 'build' a hero based on old tv shows

SuperOz · 10-19-2011 08:51 PM

Hi all!

Being a late-night tv show watcher, I've been quite happy to see one of my favorite childhood shows in The Six Million Dollar Man and catch up on episodes I hadn't seen since I was about seven.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's one of the most iconic intros in television history:

But I was wondering...could I make a 'Bionic Man' in this game? If so, what powerset, AT (Technology/Science, I presume), temp powers and so on would I choose? Bear in mind this is a concept build rather than a numbers exercise, so I'm trying to emulate things rather than plan out a build.

What would you more knowledgable players recommend? I'd love to hear feedback....the costuming aspect...well, that's a seperate issue.

Seems to me the first task is to try and produce the red track suit in the character builder

Super strength, Invulnerability/Willpower and Super Jump would be the big ones to get if I were inclined to make him.

Don't forget super speed, as demonstrated in the video

Wow power sets. My first thought was to go to the costume creator for that bionic man feel.

Please share if you have any designs! And I'm happy to expand this to his counterpart, The Bionic Woman (not that piece of drivel from a few years ago, either).

Any other takers?

I've been thinking about the old TV hero thing myself. Mrs. Animal and I even had a couple of duos in mind the two of us could make tributes to:

I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.
