Heh... no flames here...

About 8 months ago the list was kicking around some ideas and one of those
was a Gecko Crawl-like power for Phys-Ads called Adhesion. this was done
by George Greve. i expanded on that Idea to create the Spider-Man
character that you might be referrring to. I made him as a Shamanic Adept
following a modified Spider Totem, Urban Spider. this character, though,
could just as easily be a normal Phys-Ad. The alternate totem was just my
own version of Spider that wasn;t quite so creepy...;]

I also designed Webshooters for the character. he can be found in TSS 1
(Available on Fro's homepage) and on my page (Follow the link below).

Batman and Robin qould probably be even easier to do, as they have no true
super powers to speak of. They are just superb examples of human prowess
with some good Unarmed Combat skills, and lots of Detective/Analytical
skills. Oh yeah, and a lot of Expensive toys.

These characters could make enjoyable PC's or NPC's, especially if the
character playing them happens to be big comic book fans.

You could probably do most charcters quite easily... Wolverine would be
Hieghtened Senses, Regeneration (Ok, that stretches things a bit), Titanium
Bone Lacing, and Spurs.
