Maggott (Unique)
Cost: 54
Range: 4 (2 bolts)
Team: X-Men

Speed: 6 6 6 5 5 4
Attack: 9 9 9 8 7 6
Defense: 15 15 15 14 14 13
Damage: 2 2 3 2 2 1

Powers and Stats Explanation:
Maggott's attack and damage increase at the middle of his dial to represent his Maggotts eating through stuff (grass, metal, people, etc), and then returning to him, powering him up. His stats decrease again after he powers up.

Psychic Blast - This power may not seem like it makes sense for Maggott at first, but his Maggotts can eat through just about anything. So while Maggott won't fire any mind bolts at people, Psychic Blast is the best power to represent the armor piercing properties of his maggots.

Super Strength - Super Strength represents the fact that when Maggott's...maggots return to his digestive system, he gains super strength.

Toughness - Toughness also represents the power-up his maggots give him.

Battle Fury - Ah, the hated Battle Fury. Maggott has this power because once his Maggotts return to his digestive system (God, this guy has one nasty power...), he can't use them anymore to make his ranged attack.

Anyway, talk amongst yourselves. :D

Awesome! Looks really well thought out. A tad bit expensive for the abilities he has. Maby some tweaking is in order?

I gave him a few tweaks. I think he's more cost effective now.

I would give him Flurry too. This could represent each of his "Maggots" doing a close up attack.
Also, he should have Steal Energy, since his maggots feed and energize him.

I represented the maggots energizing him by giving him the 2 clicks of super strength, toughness and battle fury, since once they return to his digestive system, he gains super strength and such. If steal energy worked at range, I probably would have given him at least 1-2 clicks of it.

This is undoubtedly the stupidest character in Marvel (and with Jubilee around, that is saying something). What's next, Liverboy- the kid who drinks your blood, filters it, and transfers it back to you? I thought the goofy girl in DC that could make people sick (like her own teammates, mostly) was lame, but this takes the cake. Next you'll tell me about a girl who can attack you by pulling bones out of her body and cutting you with them. *whisper* What! her name is Marrow? Oh brother.

Thanks. I appreciate your insight.
