Here's an obscure character... Speedball, the Masked Marvel! If your not familiar, Robbie Baldwin was transformed by strange energies from another dimention giving him a kinetic field that sends him flying (shown by the various speed powers), and a protective aura (energy shield/deflection). He gains perplex, because he's a weird 'un (take a chance to check out his costume somewhere). Spidey team ability as part of the New Warriors team. Tell me what you think. I'm thinking just a tad too powerful?

I don't agree with flurry or with perplex. I possibily would throw in more hypersonic speed to show the effect of him "speedballing" to hit someone and bouncing off (as oppossed to Cannonball who just hits the guy)

Yeah I agree. Flurry is more for the martial arts/CCE type characters, and perplex is a very misleadingly named power since it's really a broad type of enhancement. Although the character is very perplexing, i can't see him doing anything to raise or lower someone's stats. Hypersonic should be non-existant on the R, sparing on the E version, maybe 1 or 2 clicks, and 3-4 clicks on the V Version. I'd raise his attack rating just a tad (it's hard to dodge someone bouncing all over the place), and lower his defense but give him Impervious dropping to Invulnerable dropping to Toughness, since he was easy to hit but hard to damage.

actualy for my speedball i made him hulk up week on the first coupel o clix then bam he gets crazy kuz he wasnt very powerful till some one hit him, i.e. he couldnt take out the hulk till the hulk hit him but thats just my 2 cents B^) have fun and are you going to do a model for him???

couse he'd have perplexhavin him bounce all around in a random trail of attacks and evades. i heard a rumor that the conartist has it,...if he can how can speenball not have it.....you know id even concider letting him have a click of invulnerability,..seings as how a lot of attacks just send him harmlessly bouncing in another direction,..much to the idea of how mr. fantastic has it.....not that he really bounces often,....but he could...he's elastic....i know we all know this....so im rambling...ok ill stop
