Ed's Notes: I need to read up on these guys (The Circle) to represent them properly. I interpret their having a heroic Motivations, as villains, to be that they are well-intentioned extremists, who became miffed with Superman when he thwarted them.  (Kind of like the Champions of Angor, maybe?) And that would be a cool story to run. But I need a better understanding to get the flavor just right, and the MoS Sourcebook only serves as half-measure for that function. All I'm saying ins that you don't want to just have these guys just robbing banks or doing some stupid bullshit like that!

BTW... While she and Charger went off and teamed up with the Fearsome Five for a while, why do I feel like she would be an interesting recruit for the Royal Flush Gang as well?!

Foe of: Titans



Ed's Notes: Why the hell is she hanging out with the losers on the Fearsome Five?! She's clearly the most powerful member of the team, and yet she's taking orders from the likes of Psimon?! (And before that Doctor Light?!)  I could see her taking control of the team in the middle of a campaign, possibly necessitating a  shift in the plan and strategy of the PC's.

Foe of: Titans



Ed's Notes: As long as she's defended, and has a chance to go to town with her Transmutation Power, she can be an invaluable asset to the F5.  Once toe-to-toe, however, most of the Titans can take he out in one phase. (Good thing she has Mammoth!)

The BG/R Book leaves off the TIME Limitation of her Transmutation Power.

Ed's Notes: Does he have crabs? It looks like he has crabs!  Can be a serious (or at leats seriously annoying) threat if some though is put into his Omni-Gadgets, and if he has the change to make something even better. And... Did his parent seriously name him "Mikron O'Jeneus?!"

Ed's Notes: One of my favorites, every since Brainiac stabbed him in the back (the BRAIN, actually) during Crisis. (EPIC Death Scene. Too bad it never happened, huh?) Pretty rad guy, for a 4/2/4 Physical: a 14/14 Physical attack, and 13/14 Telepathic Attack with a 12 AP Mind Shield? Dang.
