Per the forum rules please don't post conversions other companies' IPs here. You can post these to some other site and link back here, if you like.

Thanks!

[Techogre]

fixed as suggested

[Deskepticon]

Why? Just edit the OP.
Additional posts just need to link offsite, but it'd still be interesting to see what people come up with.

[Ghilz]

Me and a friend of mine have had fun making some. lets say, captain erzats of famous characters. Mostly just gonna discuss the power suites, attributes/skill/edges one can figure out as making them, I'll include suggestions for the later

"Regenerating Clawed Man" Power Level 2 and Up (Requires the Best there Is at PL2)

Regeneration (10 PP +2 (Regrowth)
Heightened Senses (Smell 1PP)
Ageless (1 PP +2 Very Old)
Melee (4 PP, +2 Claws) (You can scale the melee attack up to match the game's Power level)
Toughness (However much you want to put at the PL)
Other complementary powers: Super Skill Fighting, Armor, Parry
Recommended edges: Martial Arts / Martial Warrior, Two Fisted, Ambidextrous

"Explosive throwing card dude with stick" PL 2 or up
(We're going to aim that the exploding cards are similar in power to a hand grenade, obviously you can scale up at higher ranks, Requires Best there is at PL2)
Ranged Attack (6 PP base, +2 AOE (MBT), ROF 3 (+6), -2 Requires Material, Ranged attack skill Athletics)
Armor (however much you want, -1 Device (Armor suit))
Melee Attack (2pp, +2 Special Weapon (Bo Staff)
Spend extra on Super Skill Athletics, and Super Attribute agility

Alien Robot who transforms into a car
Probably my favorite, creating a generic transforming sentient robot who changes from robot to car, this one requires some slight houserules, but We're not stretching anything too far so I think most GM would be fine with it if they are fine with you being a giant transforming robot that is also a car sometimes as a concept. This uses Power Sets for both modes, as encouraged under the shapechange power which suggests using Power Sets for more complex changes than turning into an animal, which I'd argue turning into a car qualifies for.

You can do this at PL2. PL3 and higher allow for more creative alt modes, or further pimping out of the vehicle mode. If you got the extra PP obviously the Stomp and swat modifier for your robot mode is a good investment,

Power Set 1 "Robot Mode"
Power Set (2 PP)
Growth (4*3-2(Permanent)=10)
Construct (8)
Broadcast (2)
Ranged attack (9 (ROF 2, 3d6 dmg) -2 Device (Handheld), 7) (Some sort of giant robot laser gun)
Total: 30 PP


Power Set 2 "Car Mode"
Power Set +2
Construct (8)
Broadcast (2)
Vehicle (+4 Size, +2 (Front facing Pulse Gatling) +1 handling +2 armor = 9) This is the bit of houseruling, the GM has to allow you to be your own vehicle. Now, to balance this, we're not using the Super Powers rules for vehicles - any super powers for the vehicle mode is used by our own super power points. Being your own car comes with its own drawback since any damage to the car is damage to you.
Super Skill Driving: 1
Total: 30 PP

Recommended Edges: Ace, Rock and Roll

[Deskepticon]

Oof, that's a very unfortunate first sentence...

[Freemage]

Regenerating Clawed Man should have Super Skill Fighting, with Modifiers for Requires Activation and Limitation: Only when Wounded.

[Ghilz]

Or just the berserk edge from SWADE core.

[Freemage]

Arachno-Dude:

Dodge -4 (4)
Entangle (AoE/MBT +2, Strong +2, Device -1) (6)
Leaping (2)
Parry +4 (4)
Super Attribute: Strength +5 (10)
Swinging (Device -1) (1)
Uncanny Reflexes (3)
Wall Walker (1)

Depending on the writer, you could make a case for reducing Super Strength to +3, and using the remaining four points on Super Science.

[Deskepticon]

If we're including variants, Arachno-Dude Clone (Crimson Arachnoid?) would have a level or two of Ranged Attack (device).

[Ghilz]

Add another version of entangle tied to the ranged attack as a linked power

[Freemage]

And my favorite team:

Rocketman
Fly Pace 96 (Ungainly -2, Contingent: Force Field, Special: Cannot fly less than half speed without stalling out -1) (9)
Melee Attack 3d6 (Charge +1, Contingent: Force Field, Smash +3) (10)
Force Field 10 (Requires Activation -1) (9)
Super-Attribute: Strength +2 (Limitation -2: Only for purposes of breaking free from holds/entangle, Contingent: Force Field) (2)

Occasionally Strong Guy
Arguably has the Major Transformation Hindrance, but it doesn't affect Absorption or Super-Skill (in fact, if forced out of Transformed status, needs to use Absorption to re-trigger the Transformation)
Super Attribute: Strength +5 (Requires Activation -1) (9)
Super Attribute: Vigor +3 (Requires Activation -1, Linked: Super Strength +2) (7)
Melee Attack:3d6 (Contingent:Super Strength) (6)
Absorption: Light/Fire/Radiation (Additional Power Types +2, Transference: Strength +2) (6)
Super Skill: Athletics +2 (2)

Dreamgirl
Fear (AoE/LBT +4, Strong +2, Range 12" +2) (10)
Entangle (Alternate Trait*: Smarts +2; Strong +2, Range 24" +2) (9)
*: Instead of being an alternate trait on Dreamgirl's part, the Entangle power uses an illusion of the target's desires; they thus resist with Spirit, and if they are Entangled, they must break free with Smarts.
Animal Control 6 (Telepathic Link 1 mile +2) (8)
Super-Skill: Focus +3 (3)

Lycan
Note: Has Minor Transformation Hindrance to assume a Wolf/Human Hybrid form; this does NOT affect her Heightened Senses Power, however. Also has The Best There Is (Melee Attack)
Heightened Senses (Eagle Eyes, Hearing, Low Light Vision, Smell, Infravision) (5)
Shapeshift 2 (Special: Wolf Only -1) (1)
Super Attribute: Agility +3 (6)
Super Attribute: Strength +2 (4)
Melee Attack: 2d6 (Bite +d6, AP 4 +4; Claws +2d6, AP 2 +6) (14)

Puppet-Master
Has The Best There Is: Mind Control
Mind Control (Forgetful +2, Multiple Minds +2, Strong +2, Double Range +1) (12)
Mind Shield (Strong+2) (3)
Environmental Resistance: Mental Power Type (1)
Mind Reading (3)
Super Attribute: Spirit +2 (4)
Telepathy (1 mile Range +2, Mind Rider +3) (7)

Lava Lass
Damage Field: Heat 3d6 (Lethal -1) (4)
Earthquake (Strong +2) (4)
Environmental Resistance: Fire (Immunity +2) (3)
Regeneration Every Round (Special Limitation: Must be in contact with natural earth/stone -2) (8)
Matter Control: Earth (Damage 3d6 +2, AoE/LBT +2) (9)
Ranged Attack: Fire 2d6 (Lethal -1) (2)

Spellsword
Armor +10 (Partial Protection -2, Requires Activation -1) (7)
Melee Attack 0 (Special Weapon LongSword d8+4d6 +8, Armor Piercing 2 +1) (9)
Super Sorcery (4)
Teleport (Teleport Others +5, Traverse +3) (10)

[Ghilz]

Both valid points. That said your character still gets regular edges, so WG could take dodge to up ranged attacks missing on her, letting parry's deflect proc more often.

[JmOz01]

I did not notice the comment in the original post about level II, sorry ...added a note that these are level III

[Freemage]

Another personal fave:

Trenchcoat Mage
Awareness 3 (3)
Super Sorcery (Alternate Skill: Spellcasting) (4)
Fearless (2)
Mind Shield (1)
Super Skills: Taunt +4, Persuasion +3, Spellcasting +3 (10)
Super Edges: Humiliate, Provoke, Strong-Willed, Rabble-Rouser, Charismatic (10)

[Deskepticon]

Would this be a trenchcoat mage of the cigarette-smoking, demon-killing variety? If so, I think you might have underestimated his power. He's probably closer to Power Level IV, possibly even V.

[Freemage]

It is that same fellow, yes. As for his Power Level, I'd agree, but the start-of-thread challenge was for Tier II characters. Now, that said, Super Sorcery can do a lot of heavy lifting, here, especially if he takes Luck/Great Luck. With Super-Edge and Super-Skills both at 10, he can do a helluva lot of amazing things, with a little bit of prep time, which feels right for him. He could also have AB: Magic, probably with Banish and maybe Barrier.

[Ghilz]

Alternatively assume this is one of his media adaptations who tend to be more limited.

[Ghilz]

Blue Bomber X PL3
Construct (8)
Ranged Attack (Switcheable) (10)
- 2d6 ROF 3
- 3d6 AP1 Charge, Spread
Copycat 15 (Duration, Limitation: Can only copy powers of an enemy destroyed in the last turn. Limitation: Can only copy Ranged attacks, Energy Control, Matter Control, Damage Field, Entangle, Melee Attack) (15)
Leaping 2 (Bounce, Special: Bounce only requires one wall) (5)
Super Skill (Shooting) 1
Super Skill (Athletics) 1
Teleport (Traverse, Limitation: Can only Teleport long distances, Min 10 miles) (5)

[JmOz01]

So it was requested, could only do it at level 3 (45 points) but here is alien telepathic brick girl

3 Ranged attack (Alien Vision)
5 Chameleon, Voice
4 Flight
5 Intangibility
8 Invisibility (level 2)
3 Mind Reading
8 Super Attribute (Str) +4
2 Super Attribute (Vigor) +1
4 Telepathy Switchboard
3 Toughness +3

[Ghilz]

Captain Kazaam (PLV)

There's a lot of wiggle room dependent on how strong you think he should be or what you want to emphasize.
