Finding herself able to speak, she said, "yes, I'd do anything to not die....

MHR Datafile: The Jaguar (Impact Comics)

Image
Kudos to Impact Comics for not only trying a comic with a solo female heroine, but one who was Hispanic as well.  In many ways Jaguar was your typical "feral hero" but with a decided blunted side to accommodate the younger readership.  The original Jaguar from Archie Comics possess a great variety of animal-based powers, not to mention a magical belt and rocket pack (and he was male and not Hispanic).

MHR Datafile: The Fly (Impact Comics)

First, a history lesson.  Impact Comics (sometimes erroneously called !mpact Comics because the logo was an exclamation point) was an attempt by DC Comics to reach out to younger readers by re-tooling intellectual properties they had acquired from Archie Comics.  The comics, while critically popular, never achieved success in the over-saturated comic book market and the masthead only lasted from 1991 to 1993. I myself actually enjoyed the Impact line immensely, mostly because I wasn't caring for the surging "Iron Age" style of comics that were coming out from the Big Two and the new Image publishing house.  So, in homage to the short-lived attempt, I'm doing conversions of the Impact Comics characters for Marvel Heroic Roleplaying.   Here's the first offering. The Fly (Jason Troy) Affiliations Solo: d10 Buddy: d8 Team: d6 Distinctions Slacker Teen Bug-Eyed Hero Noble Power Sets Insectoid Body Enhanced Strength d8 Superhuman Reflexes d10 Acid Spew d8 ...
