I'll bet you're anxious to find out who the leader of the Snack Cake Syndicate is, huh? Never the one to spoil a surprise, I decided to wait for the next installment for that.
This time out, we're checking out the team's two "reserve members". Yes, even an organization as pathetic as this one has reserve members. Go figure.
In our case, the reserve members are presented as Uniques. Let's get crackin'!
Our first dumb-bell is even more ridiculous than the other members of the SCS. Why? Because he's a bargain-bin hybrid of the Mad Hatter and Oddjob (from the James Bond flicks). And boy oh boy does he stink. Feel free to read his 15 seconds of glory by clicking here (http://www.seanbaby.com/hostess/spidman21.htm).
Demolition Derby (Unique)
Cost: 24
Move: Normal
Team: The Snack Cake Syndicate
Range: 6
Shots: 3
Speed:
6, 6, 6, 6
Attack:
8, 8, 7, 6
Defense:
14, 14, 12, 10
Damage:
1, 1, 1, 0
Designer's Notes
Demolition Derby may be a snazzy dresser but he was a pain in the rump to design as a playable figure. That kooky hat of his took some real noggin power to represent. In the end, I did so by giving him three shots (to act as the ricochet effect), Ranged Combat Expert (to reflect the trick shots he does with it) and Perplex (it's hard to predict what the heck a ricocheting hat is going to do!).
Unfortunately, that's where his usefulness ends. He's a slow mover, he's pretty easy to hit and he can't take much damage before biting the dirt! But, it all makes sense. I mean, look at the guy. He's a middle aged guy with a trick hat. What do ya expect?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Our second loser is easily the silliest looking villain this side of Starro. And that's saying something. He's a friggin' sentient mouth for crying out loud! Watch him get duped by Captain Marvel and "enjoy" one mouth pun after another. All you have to do is point your cursor here (http://www.seanbaby.com/hostess/capmarv9.htm)!
Big Mouth (Unique)
Cost: 44
Move: Flight
Team: The Snack Cake Syndicate
Range: 0
Shots: 1
Speed:
8, 8, 7, 7, 6, 6
Attack:
9, 9, 9, 8, 5, 5
Defense:
16, 15, 14, 13, 13, 13
Damage:
4, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1
Designer's Notes
Well, well, well...a gigantic flying mouth. What a treat. Despite his entire concept, Big Mouth here can act as the team's heavy hitter.
He may not be aces at hitting an opponent, with a starting Attack of 9, but he has a reasonably high initial Defense (16). Best of all, he deals 4 damage to the hapless sucker he takes a bite out of. I did this because he pretty much destroyed an entire roller coaster with one chomp!
I don't envision Big Mouth as a terribly durable fella though, so make sure to avoid damage whenever possible, as his numbers start dropping at a rapid pace.
That's it for this installment. Next time around, you will be given the one true leaser --- the man or woman or thing that organized all these doofuses into a (mostly) coherent fighting force. It's one of the following villains. Can you guess which one?
The Chairman
Professor Plutonium
The Human Computer
Mirror Master
Sore Sir
The Green Thumb
