Check ultimate power book about robots and such. In that book there is more detailed origins.

Point Build: House Rule. Arknight has the idea. You simply set your FASERIP at the levels you want within the 140 point allotment. You could conceivably be Excellent in everything and call it a day. But that'd be awfully boring.
Not too much so. What you've got there is (overall a probably less powerful version of) Ozymandias from Watchmen! :')

He was supposed to be the official Smartest Man in the World - given what's already been said about Reed Richards, doesn't that make Ozymandias's Reason Amazing or Monstrous? Or were you simply sticking within the parameters of a character we could create in your game?
Also, important question: Given that we're doing point-buy, is there any reason to put more than the minimum to achieve the rank we want (that is to say, if I want a stat to be Incredible, are 36 points just as good as 45, or would it be demonstrably "even more Incredible" if I spent 45)?
Also, I noticed that the description of the Endurance ability specifically mentions "poison, disease, and gas" - thing is, I feel like it should work differently for Robots. I like the D&D method where artificial beings simply don't have a stat like that, and are simply immune to effects that target it, at the expense of other things for balance (say, less benefit to everything else, like speed, total hit points, and healing ability - PC Robots are said to be able to heal normally, but it would make sense if, say, they healed more slowly, and couldn't benefit from some healing superpowers).
Okay gonna do my Oddball 2 though gonna add some stuff.
Thinking
Thrown Weapon Supremacy:IN
Weapons Tinkering:IN
Hyper-leaping:EX
and Equipment
Odd Ball ones balls{ty to ex damage)
Acrobatics, Martial Arts B, Thrown Weapons, Repair/Tinkering?
If the balls don't count then hyper-Invention:RM would be fun too
Or do i get to determine power ranking randomly with a roll of a D100??
Bill: are you including the rank of powers in the total 140?
Planning on going cap america-ish character. No as icon as Cap but close enough.

So, having failed to make the cut for the Pathfinder/Civilization mash-up, I know I'm actually serious about this game. You said something about hoping for antediluvian system veterans, though, and the most I can say is I've played one or two or three one-shots that may or may not have been the edition you're using. Do I have an clear shot, or is there any reason I'm at a disadvantage?
At this point, I think there's a small enough crowd that anyone has a shot if they make an interesting character. I think the GM will be making an official recruitment thread in the next few days.

I can definitely retool Orbius into something other than a mystical origin. I wasn't actually planning on using actual magic in the game - although I've played the game off and on for years, I still have no clue how magic actually works. I figure the orb is a mystic power focus, and he's only figured out how to do a few tricks with it so far. As a result, he doesn't have the flexibility of an actual caster like Doc Strange. It'd be more like Juggernaut or the Wrecking Crew. His origin might be mystic, but he doesn't really understand much about magic.
If you're still opposed to that, I can definitely reskin it to be some sort of item left over from the most recent Kree/Shi'ar/Skrull/Brood/Whatever Alien Just Got Finished Attacking Earth invasion.
Gonna make me a techno character, and a rubber themed character. Should be fun. The techno character is gonna have a rehashed suit of armor from a rental unit, the Rubber character is gonna find some weird alcohol and gets rubber powers!

I had an idea earlier today: Could we submit ideas for Villains for you to run? If you're not comfortable with some players knowing more than others about what the team will be up against, maybe you could make the honor of submitting a bad guy a consolation prize for applicants who almost made the cut, but couldn't - or maybe suggesting them in an open thread would be good enough to avoid that problem, especially if you souped them up somehow in ways we didn't specify, without straying from the original concept.
I'd get behind that. That way, we'd all have rivals, who may team up, to go after us!
So ready... Have a ton of ideas
That sounds like a cool idea. The archnemesis would help define the character, like Batman and Joker, Supes and Luthor, FF and Doctor Doom. Even if they don't pop up in the main story, it would be cool off-camera story that could work its way into the plot.
I'm getting more excited about this. Are you thinking of this as a daily post game? Or maybe weekends off?
I put in another vote for the Legion of Doom (Utah Chapter)!
So, Mormons?
Everything alright? Haven't seen anyone (particularly not OP) put anything here for quite some time....
Because it moved to this thread. http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2poth?Old-School-Marvel-SuperHeroes
