Preface & Introduction

Preface

Introduction

Welcome, Mighty Marvelites!

The book you hold in your hands has been tremendous

fun for me to write. I've always enjoyed creating devices

for the MARVEL SUPER HEROES game. Imagine my

excitement when I was given the job of developing all of

Doctor Doom's inventions!

After the initial elation wore off, I realized what a

monumental undertaking this was going to be. After all,

Doctor Doom has been around longer than I have! He has

appeared in over 150 Marvel comics over the past thirty

years and is almost always accompanied by new and

devious inventions. How was I ever going to find all of

those back issues? HELP!

Help soon arrived in the forms of Scott Davis, Steven

Schend, and Tim Cummins. All three gentlemen supplied

me with the numerous issues I couldn't locate. Tim, bless

his soul, even trusted me with his entire FANTASTIC

FOUR comic collection! Thanks, guys.

Credit must also be given to Jeff Grubb, the original

designer of the MARVEL SUPER HEROES game. The

first chunk of this book contains rules for creating and

modifying inventions, rules which are much the same as

those written by Jeff in the Advanced Rules set. I simply

made some additions and clarifications which I think

improved the technology system. I hope you (and Jeff) all

agree.

After reading of Victor Von Doom's trials and tribulations,

and writing statistics and rules for nearly 100 of his

inventions, I've developed a kind of sympathy for him. He

is the anti-hero, a man blind to his own megalomania, and

a man who truly believes his twisted goals and thirst for

power are good for the world. His masked face haunts my

dreams.

What a great villain he is! Every super hero campaign

should have a recurring antagonist like him. Doc Doom is

a brilliant inventor, he dabbles in the mystic arts, and he

rules an entire country. Being the first super villain with

diplomatic immunity, Doctor Doom is a villain your player

character heroes cannot arrest! What more could you ask

for?

Within the dark mind of Victor Von Doom lie mysteries

unfathomable. Through the armored despot's inventions,

we watch the bright flames of true genius flickering behind

his cold eyes.

This book contains over 90 of Dr. Doom's nefarious

devices—from air cannons to the infamous (and long

forgotten) XZ-12 device, you get them all. A brief

description accompanies each item's entry, along with

relevant game statistics and rules.

Although most of the devices are associated solely with

Doctor Doom, Judges should feel free to use them

throughout their campaigns. By changing the appearance

and the name of an item, any of your high-tech villains can

have variations of the equipment presented here.

As the Judge, feel free to tinker with the gadgets' various

power ranks and abilities to suit the needs of your

campaign. Doc Doom is always adjusting his equipment to

neutralize specific super-powered foes. His antimatter

extrapolator may bounce off the rocky hide of the Thing

today, but just wait until next time, Mr. Grimm!

After being zapped, teleported, imprisoned, and flung into

other dimensions by some of Doom's inventions, the

players in virtually every campaign decide that it's time for

their heroes to do a little inventing of their own. The first

chapter of this book presents detailed rules for inventing

and modifying high-tech equipment. The rules that follow

should give you plenty of ideas on how to handle hardware

construction and modification.

As a reminder, remember that the rules of the game are

not written in stone. You, the Judge, have final say as to

how the game is played. If you don't like some of the rules,

change them. Just remember to be consistent, be fair, and

above all else—have fun!

Chapter 1: Inventing and Modifying Hardware

A vast array of technological wonders are presented in the

pages of this book. Because most of these items lie within

the steely grip of their creator—Victor Von Doom—player

character heroes have a limited number of options if they

want one of these inventions for their very own: They can

try to "acquire" it from Doctor Doom—good luck!—or they

can try to reproduce it themselves. This chapter presents

rules for inventing high-tech gadgets and modifying

existing ones.

It is important to note that high-tech characters are not

affected by the following rules. These characters and their

special gear can and should still be created according to

the guidelines provided in the current MARVEL SUPER

HEROES Basic Set.

way up to the infinite Beyond. Tech rank is equal to the

highest applicable rank number of the device, taking into

account certain modifiers. Applicable ranks are those

ranks that define the performance of the object:

• Vehicles: Applicable ranks are Control, Speed, and Body

(the overall material strength of the vehicle).

• Weapons: Applicable ranks are damage, range, and

material strength.

• Power Suits: This classification includes all items that

enhance a character's abilities. Applicable ranks are the

modified abilities (Example: Good (10) to Amazing (50)

Strength) and the material strength (or the equivalent

Body Armor) of the suit.

• Robots: This includes androids, cyborgs, and all other

types of artificial beings but not clones. Applicable ranks

are the ranks of the being's listed abilities (Fighting,

Agility, etc.) and any powers.

• Miscellaneous: With any other technological item that

doesn't apply to the above classifications, its applicable

ranks are its overall material strength and any power

ranks involved.

Tech Rank

The most important information required for building or

modifying an item is its Tech rank, which measures how

complex and powerful the invention is. Every device in this

book has a Tech rank listed in its description. Like powers

and abilities, Tech rank ranges from Shift 0 all the
