Ed's Notes: The Conclave's mooks. Very well armed, but... I notice they have GAS but no gas masks. (GM's discretion?)

Drawbacks: Miscellaneous: Faulty Circuitry: For every Physical Attack that strikes the Android, but does no damage (no positive RAP's) check off a number of boxes equal to the EV of the attack. Each time a box marked with an asterisk is checked off, reduce Dex, Str and Energy Blast by 2 AP's. When all boxes are checked off, the Android explodes as if it had the Bomb Power at 12 AP's.

Ed's Notes: Doctor Vonlaub's crazy frankenrobot. With a Physical RV of 20, it should keep most mid-level heroes busy indefinitely, or at least long enough for it's faulty circuitry (lol) to bring it down.

While the Conclave is an interesting group, and concept for an evil corporation, Mayfair never stated ANY of the out. So a couple of originals from this Module is all we've got. Thsi one's pretty cool though. ;)

Ed's Notes: Jack Hess, as far as I can tell, was on original creation for the 1st Edition Moonshot module. But WOW, what an interesting character! OK, yeah, the "Rocket Pistol" is a bit silly, not to mention WAY overpowered for a non-superpowered villain. But Mayfair really created s cool character here: An aggressive, political pundit and talk show host, who built an empire dealing in illegal arms behind the scenes with his wealth. So the players could be made aware of some Right Wing Shock Jock (kind of a cross between Ted Nugent and Rush Limbaugh) as background noise, and all the while, he's selling arms to Governments and Terrorists around the world, always on the down low. How do you DO that? No idea. (Do I look like an international terrorist and arms dealer to you?!) But it 
would pretty cool to try and figure it out!

And while the Conclave is an interesting group, and concept for an evil corporation, Mayfair never stated ANY of the out. So a couple of originals from this Module is all we've got.
