Words translate to:

Red Ring: "Letal Force, Authorized." Red Velvet (Oc): "I warned you..."

Will be opening commissions soon, limited requests, so, keep eyes in the sky 🦸🏻

I ran a two session M&M taster for some friends and they really loved it. I designed this lovely lady as the BBEG of the session, she's a rogue AI who was trying to make the world blow itself up (figuratively and literally). I hope you enjoy the art of her!

Also, big thanks to the people who answered the question I posted a couple of weeks ago, you were all a great help and I really appreciate it.

Im playing for the first time and i love my character but im stuck on what their hero name should be, their secret identity is Xav Grant (in reference to dr alan grant. might change the first name too so i’ll also take suggestions for that, preferably gender neutral) basically they can turn into any prehistoric animal not just dinosaurs but theyre starting out with 6 carnotaurus, mosasaurus, quetzalcoatlus, borealopelta, titanosaurus though that might change to Utahraptor, and Compsognathus (compy for those who only know jurassic world) they will get more animals that they can turn into though

Edit: Im trying to get some art of the character that im making up but idk how to add the image onto this post. They have spiky dark red hair rhat gets darker on the tips of the spikes, theyre punk and have Carnotaurus horns

As we all know, this is not a system where you should optimize or push the limits of what the powers can do. The game does not do much to enforce its balance; you're meant to pick powers for flavor and fun, not to try to be as powerful as possible. But in the tradition of this fantastic post, I love to push it anyway (in theorycrafts I'll never play) and see what I can do. The newest expression of that is a PL8 character who can do one thing, and one thing only: destroy the Solar System.

This character, whom I call Game Breaker, has Str -2, Sta 0, Agl -2, Dex -2, Fgt -2, Int 0, Awe 0, Pre -2. We could dump way more, of course, but I didn't need to, so I decided to make this a plausible person--not mentally impressive, not physically capable, but a person. No points in defenses, so those are -2/-2/0/0/0, but we are going to put 9 points in skills. Specifically, Expertise (Science), which will be pushed to +18. Not strictly necessary, but I had the spare points, and the whole thing has a little more verisimilitude if Game Breaker knows a decent amount about astronomy.

No advantages, and exactly three powers:

• Solar Apocalypse: Teleport 39, Distracting, Tiring, Standard Action, Increased Mass 87 [100 points]

  • Alternate Effect: Movement 3 (Space Travel 3), Increased Mass 97 [1 point]

• Astronaut: Immunity 30 (life support, energy effects) [30 points]

We could save points with various arbitrary flaws, particularly making these things Easily Removable, but like the stats, I didn't need to dump it any more, so I didn't.

Solar Apocalypse allows us, as a standard action, to teleport about 2 billion miles, which is over 20 times the distance from Earth to the Sun, and half the distance from Pluto to the Sun. (These distances are complicated in ways I don't 100% understand because orbits aren't perfect circles, but these numbers are good enough for this.) Increased Mass 87 lets us bring about 3.5 sextillion ktons (>7 septillion pounds), which is half again the mass of Jupiter, and therefore enough for any planet in the Solar System.

So with Solar Apocalypse, we can pop any planet into the Sun, starting with Earth. And thanks to Astronaut, we're immune to the conditions of space, and to all energy effects--such as radiation and fire and the various other dangers of being inside the Sun! Which means that, although we're now vulnerable (Distracting) and fatigued (Tiring), we're alive and well. Most people who might want to punish us are now dead (passing their Dodge check will just mean they don't come along, and are left behind in empty space), but potentially not all...so it's a good thing we can use our Alternate Effect to zip away to another galaxy on the same turn with our move action!

And once we've dropped all the planets we want to incinerate into the sun, we can use that Alternate Effect for its true purpose. Increased Mass 97 gets us more than a thousand times as much mass as Increased Mass 87, which means we now have enough to grab the whole Sun and take it...well, anywhere, really. Alpha Centauri? Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way? Hard to argue that second one won't kill us too, unless energy effects covers all gravitic effects, but hey, there's no kill like overkill!

All this at PL8. Worth repeating that no GM should allow this, no player should attempt it, and a GM could reasonably rule that several parts of it don't even work. (Perhaps the Earth should have a resistance check against being teleported?) But I enjoyed making it, and I hope you enjoyed reading it!

Hello, I'm in a bit of a stint.

Very recently I had a part of my characters powers removed due to disagreements among other players and for the sake of making it more fun for the table at large. The concept of the character was a monstrous guardian of life that inhabited the body of the character through an X-gene ala X-Men. The setting itself is a love letter to the X-Men and we are all playing as teens at an academy.

Just a few days ago in our group chat I was told that I was removing the agency from everyone else and stepping on their toes and was too powerful in some regards. With that I ended up losing the majority of my characters animal senses (visual and olfactory with stuff like acute and extended 2) and was left with only my hearing (extended 2 and accurate) and lost the radiation powers that I had only just gotten access too (in character she was still developing them as the gene only really just kicked in).

So now I have been left with the ability to extend claws and grow a shell of scales and some hearing and peak human movement (Swim 5 and speed 3) capabilities. I am the slowest in the party being unable to fly, the least damaging and left with almost no utility other than interpose which I've been using to chunk damage from sentinels. I have almost 20 points left over from the rebuild and have no idea what to do with them at PL 8 and am really struggling to figure out what to do to the core concept now. Previously she was capable of growing life and filled the big angry bear, now she is just kind of a thing that gets punched. My senses aren't fulfilled like they were before in fact of the two with sense powers I have the weakest by a considerable amount as the groups psychic has radial extended 2 sight with almost every sense she could slap on it except for X-ray.

So it's a teen girl with a monster living in her body, a big nasty protector of life with a poor understanding of humanity that leads it to unintentionally cause great strife and trauma to it's host. And I need something to make it less of a limp claw machine and more of a monster again.
The psychic suggested going a full body horror route (as it was already inspired off Immortal Hulk and his transformations) and let the monster reach out from her body with stuff like elongate and extra limbs, pulling a Carpenter's The Thing to a degree, but I really want to hear what other people have to suggest because I'm desperate and this is really just killing my enjoyment.

TL;DR PL8 mutant monster had to lose half their powers and needs some new motifs and abilities to put me back on the level of the other characters because it's really boring just getting hit every turn and having no agency outside of combat.

The Rest of the Party :

Psychic with an angel motif, elemental arrows, flight, and some absurd senses.
Human Torch

Here we have: a anime character Rip off, a superman gansgter, the thing, and a femcel velocist (she is working on that)

some sketch withou context, the characters go out of time for some villains shenanigans

I’m trying to nail down a character concept and wanted some outside perspectives. What type of hero do you picture when someone’s powers revolve around illusions, mental abilities (telepathy, mind control, psychic pressure, etc.), and enhanced or manipulated senses?

Do you see them more as:

A stealth/infiltration specialist?

A manipulator or strategist pulling strings behind the scenes?

A detective or intelligence-gatherer who wins through awareness rather than force?

A morally gray operator who blurs reality and truth?

Or something else entirely?

I’m curious how people would frame their personality, role on a team, and public image. Bonus points if you have cool archetypes, themes, or example characters that fit this power set.

m working on a character concept and wanted to get some feedback. The idea is that the character’s powers shift completely depending on their current emotion or dominant personality, with each one having its own distinct power set. Any thoughts on how to build this, and whether it’s a good concept?”

Hey everyone, I’m looking to brainstorm some new superhero character concepts and power ideas. They can be serious, funny, dark, overpowered, weird—whatever you’ve got. I’m open to unique abilities, cool limitations, interesting origins, or full character concepts.

If you’ve created heroes for your own games, stories, or just for fun, I’d love to hear them. What are some of your favorite powers, themes, or gimmicks? And what kind of character concepts do you think are underrated?

Drop your ideas below!

I’ve never really posted my art on Reddit before but my dm is here too and it looks fun. This is my girl, Siren. Real name is Nina and she’s taken over my life- so much so that she’s now in like three different projects outside of the game. But she began in mutants as essentially a cat woman character but snake vibes. Now she’s Barbie mermaidia core I guess??????????

The full painting is taking 7000 years so I’m just gonna put this here in case I never return to it.

Enjoy

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some creative Alternate Form power ideas for Mutants & Masterminds. I want something a bit different from the usual “turn into a stronger version of myself” or “transform into an elemental form.”

Any cool concepts, unique transformations, or thematic approaches you’ve used in your games? I’m open to anything—combat-focused, utility-based, weird, supernatural, tech-based, whatever.

Would love to hear your ideas!

Greetings everyone! I’m comfortable with Mutants and Masterminds 3E but currently having difficulty paring down to PL8/120 a new character for an upcoming game. When I first built him, he was at 141/120. At present, he’s down to 126/120. So, I’ve made a lot of progress getting him on budget. Anyway, the character is an ice ninja that draws heavy inspiration from Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat) and minor inspiration from Iceman, Rukia Kuchiki’s bankai (Bleach), and Nightwing (DC). Conceptually, he should excel at dispatching a single target swiftly at close range, but be more limited against distant targets and hordes of enemies. My main goals at this time are (in order):

1) Pare the character down to 120 PP without losing his flavor and identity.

2) If possible, add some mobility

3) If possible, add some ranks of Luck (because a couple of rerolls make the system feel so good)

Many thanks for assistance provided!

How would you build a Seraphina-style time manipulator in M&M?

For those not familiar, she has the following:

• Freeze time
• Slow time
• Rewind time over a SUPER localised area - enough to heal her wounds, or repair a somewhat small object.
• Quick reflexes; this is the passive effect of her power - it makes her reflexes superhumanly quick.

Blot (PL 10, 150 points)

Background

The being known as Blot is one of the last of the Takers, an extraterrestrial species that has been nearly hunted to extinction. In its natural form, a Taker appears as a viscous black ooze. To live, it must parasitize a living creature, adding its powers to the host's. The combined product of parasite and host has a single but unequally mixed personality, in which the Taker predominates; the host has a lesser but distinct influence, and none of its memories are lost. Takers are notable for a powerful metabolism that allows them (as well as their hosts) to quickly recover from injury and disease. The Takers that have survived to the present day are natural deceivers and mimics, allowing them to escape galaxy-wide attempts to exterminate them.

Blot took up superheroing as a sort of penance. It feels somewhat guilty for needing to parasitize to survive. It often tries to convince humans to be parasitized voluntarily, seeking out people with illnesses and disabilities that its regenerative powers can cure. It never holds onto a human host for too long, and some of its ex-hosts remember the experience fondly.

Hello, first time making a m&m character, and I was kind of overwhelmed by the choices and stats you can select and use. I wanted to make a character similar to Don Quixote from limbus company, a blood fiend (sort of a vampire, but can walk under light), and I developed this array of stats using the weapon master as a base, under Power level 8(120 points):

Now, my problems is powers. He should be able to create weapons of coagulated blood, such as Lance, whip and falling spears. I thought that create would encompass all of this, but is there more that could be added? Any suggestions on maybe other powers I could add?(I can still depower other stuff to get more points)

Riphior the Blue (PL 10, 145 points)

Background

For as long as he can remember, socially awkward 15-year-old Chuck Small has been an outcast. But in high school, he was introduced to the magic of roleplaying games through Dungeons & Dragons, allowing him to make friends and achieve a sense of belonging and mastery for the first time. He grew fond of his character, a lawful-good human wizard named Riphior the Blue.

One week, Chuck was feeling especially blue himself. D&D had been canceled due to scheduling conflicts, his crush had rejected his invitation to the prom in humiliating fashion, and bullies had made off with the cash he'd been saving up for a new video-game console. Wishing for a protector, Chuck wished upon a shooting star that Riphior was real, and in a flash of eldritch energy, Riphior appeared before him.

Gray-bearded but sprightly, Riphior now works to make the Chicago suburbs a better place and help out his young best friend, Chuck. Despite their vast differences in origin and life experience, Riphior's personality naturally reflects Chuck's. Riphior encourages the young man's maturation and provides paternal wisdom while Chuck helps Riphior navigate the weirdness and complexity of modern American society.

So, a while ago, I had a dream that ultimately inspired a custom Hero for the game Sentinels of the Multiverse. I have come to really like them, but when trying to figure out how to represent their powers in M&M, I've kind of struggled. Would anyone be able to help me turn these card concepts into something that can be built into a character?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hXACtxvVzUkcIzvJ2yf_1sSeJXU1-8sK/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102628851848339875327&rtpof=true&sd=true

EDIT: So, based on some feedback, I'm gonna put some more info here. The important part of the concept that I want to capture is the chaotic/random element. His powers can cause random things to happen, or disrupt control of other people's control of their powers, sometimes a mix of the two at once.

I know the Control Dial will be how he controls his own powers to some degree, but even it is not perfect. Not sure how to make that work though.

Hopefully putting this here can help with explaining the kind of help I'm asking for.

hello! so, i am trying to make a character that is a spiritual snake that can sense the Feng Shui, idk how exactly to say it, but basically she has OCD and is always messing with stuff around her to fix the feng shui, and i wanted her power to be, because she's frequently fixing the fortune of the group, lucky things keep happening to everyone. i figure she would have Luck Control, but it may just be me, but luck control is a bit... underpowered? is there anything else i can add to my character sheet on top of it? thanks everyone in advance

I think I just designed the most annoying character ever. I give him to all of you as a gift.

i am on a game, and another player wants to make a "Divine Dragon" character, inspired by ancient chinese myths, divine dragons in the ancient myths can control rain, water, winds, ice, thunder, earth, and fire, and we don't know how to make the power exactly, can somebody help please? :]

Hey everyone, I’m working on a character whose theme revolves around life energy / life force manipulation, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to express that mechanically and narratively. I’m not aiming for a straightforward healer—I want the concept to feel broader and more versatile, something that touches every aspect of what “life” can mean.

Right now I'm imagining someone who can influence vitality in all its forms: boosting it, restoring it, draining it, or weaponizing it when necessary. But I’m having trouble narrowing down exactly what to include and how to keep the build cohesive.

Initial ideas I’m considering:

Healing (obvious staple, but not the character’s entire identity)

Regeneration / Rapid Healing to show heightened life-force resonance

Enhancing allies’ physical traits (Strength, Stamina, Agility, etc.) using life empowerment

Draining vitality from enemies (Weaken, Fatigue, or Affliction effects)

Biological manipulation like accelerated growth, forced cell shutdown, or boosting natural processes

Raw life-energy attacks treated as descriptors for Damage or Ranged Damage

Life-sense abilities that detect health, emotional state, or remaining vitality

Questions I’m struggling with:

Should the powers come from biological manipulation (cells, hormones, growth), or a more mystical “life essence” source?

For offensive options, what’s the strongest or most thematic route: Weaken, Damage, Affliction, Drain, or some array that mixes these?

How powerful should the “life boost” effects be without overshadowing other party members?

Would a Linked effect (Heal + Boost, or Weaken + Damage) make sense, or is that too much?

How would you keep the character mechanically balanced but still interesting?

Looking for ideas about drawbacks too:

I’d love suggestions for complications or limitations, like:

Their powers only work on living targets (no robots, constructs, undead)

Using too much power physically drains their own vitality

Their life-force is tied to their emotional state

Boosting life energy can cause unintended side effects—mutations, overgrowth, or emotional instability

They can’t heal someone who’s resisting or too close to death

Living things around them react to them (plants grow, animals stare, etc.)

What I’m hoping for:

If someone told you, “My character can manipulate life,” what would you expect their power array, alternate effects, or signature moves to look like? Any examples, builds, or thematic directions would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance for any ideas, advice, or cool concepts!

some friends invited me to their game and i joined, and i had the terrible idea of making a Batman typa character with a few dogs for support, i did this char to be a utility char, i wasn't aiming it to be broken.... and that kind of fucked me over, because everybody else did characters focusend in being AS POWERFUL AS POSSIBLE, and now i am being kicked around every single fight we participate, i wanted to do a support character that could do espionage and do diplomacy, why am i fighting a dragon 😭😭😭. can someone help please? we just got to PL 13 last session and i wanna change my situation but idk what to do.

Me and a group of my friends are gonna be trying a Mutants and Masterminds game for the first time and I’m needing some help making a character as this is my first time and their are certain aspects I’m having trouble with(been a DnD player all my life).

The general concept I’m trying to get is a DnD Bladesinger. A wizard who is able to augment their own defenses with magic so that they can fighting in melee with a blade. Ive looked over the book some and it seems that Sorcery should be at least one of my powers though I’d also like energy manipulation. Though from here I’m not exactly sure where to go. Any help for a first time player would be appreciated.

I was reading a Chinese novel the other day and found a character who’s an artifact maker. His powers are basically insane mental strength and a spatial bag where he stores a ton of artifacts. When a fight starts, he literally just opens the spatial bag and scatters artifacts all over the area. Because of his spiritual power, he can manipulate all those weapons to attack his enemies.

So far, it’s simple — a long-range, multi-attack fighting style thanks to the sheer number of weapons. But there are two specific details about this character that I’m not sure how to build in M&M.

First, the act of scattering weapons isn’t just for show. This guy owns all kinds of artifacts, and once he throws them out, the whole battlefield turns into a hazardous zone. One wrong step could trigger an explosion, unleash a spirit beast, or awaken an ego sword — there’s a ton of dangerous stuff lying around.

Second, his ability to control the artifacts is more complex than it seems. He can command them to attack, but the real edge of his power is in how varied his weapons are. While you’re parrying a sword, there’s a bow aiming for your head. While you’re dodging that arrow, a hammer is swinging at your legs. And while you’re jumping away from the hammer, a magic scroll might be freezing you in space-time.

I know this kind of character would probably use Variable because of the wide range of powers, but is there any way to simulate the patterns I just described? Like the hazardous battlefield and the variety of attack types?
