Powers:
Nocturne was a vampire, who through the use of science and the Alchemical formulas of Diablo was able to shed some of his curse. As such, Nocturne had the following powers:

• Hypnotism: Requiring eye contact, Ex (20) ability
• Flight: Like Baron Blood, Nocturne's ability to change into a bat was lost, allowing him to fly with Ex (20) ability
• Body Transformation: Fog: Nocturne could transform his body into fog with Rm (30) ability
• Natural Weaponry: Claws: Rm (30) ability
•   Natural Weaponry: Fants: Rm (30) ability

Nocturne also used a combination of science and technology in various alchemical mixtures. Among these mixtures was the ability to create a series of homocule soldiers.

Limitations:

• Vampire: Early in Nocturne's career, he was very careful to hide his vampiric state, go so far as using a specific weapon to cover his feeding. Until many years after his debut, Nocturne suffered from the traditional vampire limitations. Shortly after his discovery of the sleeping Diablo did Nocturne overcome these limitations.
• Hunted: The First Line: Nocturne was considered to be the most dangerous villain of his day, and as such, was pursued relentlessly.
• Enemy: The Black Fox: Nocturne's worst enemy was the Black Fox, who swore to kill him one day for the role Nocturne played in the death of the Black Fox's only love.

Contacts:

The First Line

Limitations:
Unusual Looks: Yeti is a monstrous looking figure
Beserker: Yeti regresses to an almost feral state, reducing his intellect further to Fe (2). For Yeti to come out of this state, he will need to make a yellow FEAT at Fe (2).


Note:

Yeti's background and history are a thing of debate. Either Yeti is a member of a species of Yeti, first encountered by the Silver Surfer, or he is an Inhuman. Regardless, Yeti was a loyal member of the First Line until he was seduced by a Skrull infiltration expert. While not betraying the team, Yeti left the final battle after his 'love' was killed, taking her body with him as he retreated. Yeti reappeared in an issue of X-Men: The Hidden years, but sadly as of this write-up, I've not read it.

S: Rm (30)
E: In (40)
R: Gd (10)
I: In (40)
P: Ex (20)

Health: 140
Karma: 70
Resources: Good (10)
Popularity: 20

Talents:
Tigra possesses many talents based on her time as the Cat, her time as a solo hero, and her time with the Avengers. As such, Tigra possesses the following abilities:
• Law-Enforcement: Tigra is a graduate of the Chicago Police Academy, and has served as a patrolwoman
• Acrobatics
• Tumbling
• Knowledge: Avengers Protocols
• Knowledge: Superhuman Heroes and Villains
• Knowledge: Chicago area
• Detective/Espionage
• Knowledge: Circuses
• Instructor*

Powers:
Legendary Warrior of the Cat People: As the Cat, Greer was genetically re-engineered granting her superhuman abilities. When mortally wounded, the Cat People took Greer and mystically transformed her into one of them, making her the incarnation of their legendary warrior. As such, Greer gained her new appearance and a variety of new powers. These powers were further augmented when she underwent another ritual as a member of the West Coast Avengers. Greer’s powers have shifted again as she’s found peace with her feral nature, and grant her the following abilities:
Superhuman Senses: Greer’s senses have been enhanced through both her genetic restructuring and the rituals that made her Tigra. Greer possesses Mn (75) superhuman senses, allowing her several powers and abilities which include:

• Tracking: In (40) ability to track individuals over distance.
• Heighted Senses: Smell, Sight, Hearing, Taste: Mn (75)
• Night Vision: Greer can see in near perfect darkness
• Combat Sense: Greer’s Senses allow her to react to danger with greater ability.
•  Empathy: Greer can determine emotional responses based on sensory input, allowing her to gauge a person’s emotional state, whether they are lying, etc. with Rm (30) ability.

Tiger Nature: Greer shares many characteristics with tigers, ranging from orange and black fur to a tail. Greer’s nature allows her several advantages that are based around her animalistic nature:

• Natural Weaponry: Claws: Tigra’s claws are made of Gd (10) material, capable of halving effective Body Armor and material strengths and doing Gd (10) damage.
• Natural Weaponry: Fangs: Tigra’s fangs allow her to do Gd (10) biting damage.
• Movement: Tigra can run up to three areas per round with a simple Endurance FEAT without resting, as well as push herself to move up to four areas per round with a green Endurance Feat.
• Leaping: Tigra is considered to have Gd (10) hyper-leaping, which allows her to Pounce onto opponents or groups of opponents as a charge-like action with a simple Agility FEAT.
• Climbing: Tigra has the ability to scale surfaces and objects with Gd (10) Hyper-Climbing.
• Stealth: Tigra possesses the ability to sneak with Gd (10) Ability, capable of even sneaking up on Kraven the Hunter as well as others.
• Tail: Tigra possesses a tail which allows her to maintain her balance and perform complex feats of acrobatics. Tigra’s tail is not prehensile, but grants her an additional +1cs to Agility FEATs to maintain her balance or in addition to her acrobatic skill.
• Resist: Cold: Tigra is covered in natural fur, as well as the ability to maintain her body heat for long lengths of time. Tigra is considered to have Gd (10) resistance to cold, which in addition makes her Endurance FEATs at Am (50) to resist environmental effects like frostbite and/or freezing.
•  Physiological Differences: Tigra is far more resistant to diseases and toxins, possessing Gd (10) resistance to both due to her transformation into the Cat. In addition, Tigra’s physiology is similar to a Tigers: She requires a great deal of protein to maintain a healthy diet, reacts as a large cat to stimulus, and gives birth in two months rather than nine.

Equipment:
Cat’s Head Pendant: Tigra has often employed a tiger’s head pendant which depending on the writer, would either allow her to appear normal or allow her to change back to human. For the purposes of this write-up, it is considered to grant her the ability to appear as her new human self as if under an Ex (20) mystical illusion.

Contacts:
Greer has many contacts within the Superhuman and Law Enforcement community, including:
The Avengers
The Defenders
Spider-Man
Red Wolf
She-Hulk
The Initiative
Avengers Academy
Hank ‘Henry’ Pym
Moon Knight
Werewolf by Night Jack Russell
Dr. Tuomolo and the Cat People

Limitations:

• Unusual Looks: Greer is definitely not human, possessing orange and black fur, a tale, and claws. Greer also does little to hide this fact, doing so only occasionally when the situation warrants it.
• Bestial Nature: Greer shares many instinctual characteristics with Big cats: the need to hunt, the need to feed, reactions to stimulus, and the like. While Greer has greater control over her animal nature, it has been present several times in the past. Greer must make a Psyche FEAT in order to maintain control over herself in such circumstances.
• Public Identity: Greer does not hide her dual identity anymore.
• Enemies: Kraven, The Hood
• Dependent: William Nelson - Greer had a son with the skrull posing as Dr. Henry Pym, and while the child ages faster than normal, William is still a toddler.
