Ed's Notes: Just a couple of lackeys that The Master dispatched to find Psi-Phon and Dreadnaught after the disappeared. Not really interested in defeated Superman (and no match for him at all) but the fought hims all the same.

Ed's Notes: Not exactly  a FOE of Superman. "The Master" is actually Dreadnaught's WIFE.  And she popped up looking for the two of them after they disappeared while on a mission to find an energy source for her. Needless to say, she wanted them back. Also, based on the picture, it seems her Growth power is VASTLY overrated in the stats above, which could greatly affect her attributes as well. Judging form the PICTURE, she looks like she has a Growth of 2, if it's Always On.  This would (arguably) cancel out most of her Physical; Attributes though, so it's possible that they are still correct, for a Growth of 2, and very little actually comes from her Growth Power. But at 20, she would be over 600 feet tall! And even at 3, she would be 20 feet tall. Technically, she'd be no taller with only 2 AP's of Growth, though she would be a bit bigger. So... 2 seems about right.

Ed's Notes: 2nd Edition defines and describes his power VERY differently.  One important detail... In 2nd edition he automatically gains the AP's of anything Power Drained by Psi-Phon. No additional role was needed. He he is give the Adaption Power, with the above Limitations. Does that mean that they need TWO rolls - Psi-Phon's Neutralize and Dreadnaught's Adaptation - for Dreadnaught to adapt a Power? Seems less efficient. 

(EDIT: The above statement in incorrect, Adaptation is a Automatic Power.)

First Appearance: Superman Vol 2 #19 (July, 1988)

Int:   4   Will:  3   Mind:    3
Infl:  2   Aura:  3   Spirit:  2
Initiative:  9  Hero Points:  40

Powers:
Neutralize: 25

Bonuses: Neutralized uses the targets Int/Mind as the OV/RV; Will also work on Dex and Str, to a minimum of 10 and 6, respectively; The first time a target's given Power is attacked, any Positive RAP's negate the entire power; Neutralized Attributes will not Recover normally. They will stay neutralized as long as he is conscious, and does not try to neutralize too many Powers.

Limitations: In subsequent attack against the same target & power, RAP's equal to the target's Will are needed or there will be no effect; Must make an action check every phase using the number or Powers and Attributes he's neutralized ans the AV/EV against an OV/RV of his AP's of Neutralize and his Mind. (25/3) Positive RAP's are taken as mental bashing damage. If he falls unconscious, all Characters regains the lost Powers and Attributes and Dreadnaught loses all Adapted Powers and Attributes.

Ed's Notes: 2nd Edition defines and describes his power VERY differently.  Same basic idea, juts resolved completely differently in terms of gameplay.  One thing that 2nd Edition includes, which I'm stunned that 3rd Edition does not is Advantage: Connection Dreadnaught (High).  Because while Dreadnought is still low-level, super-powered dumb muscle without Psi-Phon, Psi-phon is basically an over-sized katydid without Dreadnought: Just step on him. He's useless.
