Universal Monsters team suggestions?

[Rurouni KJS]

I and another player are thinking of doing this for a 700 Halloween scenario next week. Figs in green are a lock for my team if I go this direction. Figs in red are ones I don't have. :(

The Phantom of the Opera
Gentleman Ghost
Psycho Pirate
Johnny Sorrow

Dracula
Morbius

Frankenstein
Frankenstein (natch)

The Mummy
Time Trapper
Negative Woman
Hush

The Invisible Man
Gentleman Ghost
Johnny Sorrow
Ghost

The Wolf Man
Ravage

Creature from the Black Lagoon
Triton is a perfect fit.
or Abe Sapien (for points room)

Invisible Man = Vet Ghost.

I would think, for the Phantom of the Opera, that you could also use either Psycho-Pirate or Johnny Sorrow... they both have the "mask to the face" look.

You could use Johnny Sorrow for the Invisible Man if you used one of the others for the Phantom. He's got the "clothes but nothing underneath" thing going well.

Obviously, if you wanted a Wolfwoman, you could use Wolfsbane from IC.

[CapSpalding]

Invisible man wore bandages, so in theory you could use both Hush and Negative Woman...assuming you had them.

Gentleman Ghost doesn't seem all that Phantomy to me. He seems a better stand in for Invisible Man.

Dont forget about the Zombies!

While you may not have the high dollar ones .....Giant man and Spiderman should be fairly common and easy to find.

I looked up Universal Monsters on Wikipedia. If all of the listed movies count for this theme, there seem to be:

The Invisible Woman - Invisible Woman
She-Wolf of London - Wolfsbane
Jungle Woman - Giganta
Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Mr. Hyde
The Mole People - Moloids, maybe Mole Man

As well as others that have the same name as a Clix piece, though the Clix piece may not represent any character in the movie: The Raven, The Black Cat, Tarantula, etc.

I ran one once since I had so few figures:

Frankenstein
Johnny Sorrow (the INvisible man)
TWo Face (Phantom of the Opera)
Abe Sapien (Creature from the Black lagoon)
Congorilla (The Brooklyn Gorilla)

You know...just putting that out there

I just played a version of this team twice in the last week.

I used Negative Woman over Hush, and Abe Sapien (with Contingency Plan) for the Creature, and I left out Wolfman. I added in a Zombie (Spider-Man) and the 50-Foot-Woman (Giganta). Not specifically Universal monsters, but classic Matinee menaces nonetheless.

I thought the 50 Ft. Woman was more of ...a you know B rated Monster.


OH And I also tried to do a PLan 9 From outer Space team....I forgot what was on it though...

Vampira as a space ghoul (Vampire Lackey), Tor Johnson as a cop then a space ghoul (M&M Hulk), Bela Lugosi as 'ghoul man' (Closest would be Morbius), Griswell as himself (he was a self-proclaimed psychic... need someone lame with PC... rookie Destiny should do it)

One of the best lines
Heroine: I've never seen you in this mood before.
Hero: I guess that's because I've never been in this mood before.

THE greatest lines

Colonel Tom Edwards: Why is it so important that you want to contact the governments of our earth?
Eros: Because of death. Because all you of Earth are idiots.
Jeff Trent: Now you just hold on, Buster.
Eros: No, you hold on. First was your firecracker, a harmless explosive. Then your hand grenade: you began to kill your own people, a few at a time. Then the bomb. Then a larger bomb: many people are killed at one time. Then your scientists stumbled upon the atom bomb, split the atom. Then the hydrogen bomb, where you actually explode the air itself. Now you can arrange the total destruction of the entire universe served by our sun: The only explosion left is the Solaranite.
Colonel Tom Edwards: Why, there's no such thing.

Alas, I lack a single Ghost. It also seems a shame to not run a wolf man (Wolfsbane just isn't adequate and I've never owned a Hyena, who's got the look, at least).

I may have to shelve this idea in favor of my Giant Monsters Attack!!! team (complete with Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack).

EDIT: Wait. Ravage makes a nigh-perfect Wolf Man. I might get this together after all! Any other bandaged characters out there to fill the Mummy slot (him being another truly iconic Universal monster)?

DOUBLE-EDIT: TIME TRAPPER. It's all coming together now.

[Rurouni KJS]

The Phantom of the Opera
Psycho Pirate + Infiltrate 72
Dracula
Morbius + Lunge 72
Frankenstein
Frankenstein (natch) 98
The Mummy
Time Trapper 125
The Invisible Man
Gentleman Ghost + The Society 83
The Wolf Man
Ravage + Lunge 65
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Triton + Submerged 77
= 592 points, 108 left. So...which Fifty-Foot Woman should I fill out the team with?

Giganta: 108 exactly
Rita Farr: Outsider, allows extra feat room (Opportunist on Frank, AP on Triton, Takedown on PPirate, maybe a Fortitude)
Stature: Possible Thunderbolt, LOTS of extra feat room?

[WolvieFan9]

Giganta, because she's hot.
