Powers:
Growth: 15

Skills:
Gadgetry: 5
Medicine: 7
Scientist (Drawing Plans):  5

Bonuses: Miscellaneous: For every 3 AP's of Growth active, both her current and maximum Body increases by 1. This does not further increase her RV (18 at full size) but allows her to take (and ditch) more damage: 8 RAP's at max size.   

Limitations: Growth only increases her land speed at half the normal rate (+1 per 6 active APs of Growth.)

Advantages: Connections: Legion of Doom(High)


Drawbacks: Unluck; Attack Vulnerability: Falling to the ground (by being tripped, stunned, slipping, etc.) is a 07/03 Physical Attack against her base (not Growth-enhanced) OV and RV.

Ed's Notes: The last member of the Legion of Doom, and the only one not statted out in nd or 3rd Edition.  This is the most recent incarnation of Giganta. This one was never a gorilla, and is more intelligent than she's been depicted as in the past. I converted the "Damage Capacity" Power in Writeups, which activated a 1 AP per 3 AP's of Growth, to a bonus on her Growth Power. I did this in case you don't have the Blood of Heroes book. I like it... But it's a bit confusing. Basically her Physical RV is always her base Body (3) + AP's of Growth Activated. But for every 3 AP's of Growth she activates, she can take an additional point of damage, ditch an additional point, spend an additional hero point, and take 1 more RAP without being stunned, knocked out or killed. Basically her current and max Body goes up by 1, but her RV doesn't change. That goes a little bit beyond the Damage Capacity Power, but I like it, so that's  what I'm doing. ;)


First Appearance: Wonder Woman #9 (Summer, 1944)

  1. Have we ever seen a limit for how tall she gets? at 15, that puts her at like 160' tall, which is crazy tall.. I'd like to see her and Giant Man go toe to toe.

    1. 160' seems fair, given where the tree are in the picture above. Yeah, her and Giant Man would be a cool fight!

  2. Also, being a Genius Level intelligence I think her INT should be higher... like 8 ish

    1. Someone brought this up in the Facebook discussion on the MEGS Page as well. I'm going to need to adjust that I think. I'll have to look at other charterers for a reasonable benchmark.
