M&M 3rd Edition: Gotham Knights OOC

The police and the politicians are corrupt, the streets are filled with litter, and anyone with two cents to rub together probably stole both of them. The mortar in this city is mixed with the blood of the people who built it and our streets were built over their bones. You can’t understand this place until you’ve walked down every street, stared down every alley, and had some punk try to steal every cent you’ve got on you at least a twelve times. This city will drive you crazy if you let it and we’ve got a whole birdcage full of cuckoos that already have. Two-Face, the Joker, the Mad Hatter, and Poison Ivy are all just the tip of the iceberg. The real crazies are the people who stay here knowing how bad things are. The ones who wake up every morning get their kids ready for school, and ride the subway to their rotten jobs for a paycheck that will barely pay the rent. There are better places but Gotham is their home and that’s why they stay here, and God help me I’m one of them.
What is this?
This is a PL 8 Mutants and Masterminds campaign set in the DC Comics Universe, specifically Gotham City. I’m looking for 3-4 players who can take up the difficult challenge of defending Gotham from the criminal scum and overwhelming corruption that threaten to choke the life out of the once great city. You'll be facing gangs, super villains, assassins, explosions, and cops on the take at every turn so be ready.
Can I play?
Absolutely, as I said I’m hoping for 3-4 players who can help clean up the streets of Gotham.
What are the guidelines for character creation?
*I'd like to have the party chosen within a week, so please submit your character by April 26th.
*Power level 8
*120 points
How often do I need to post?
In an ideal world I’d like people to post once a day, but I realize with life that isn’t always possible.
Rolls?
Rolls can be made on invisible castle or orokos.
Character Creation Guidelines
Please submit a PL 8 120 Point version of a DC Comic’s character with some tie to Gotham City. I will not be accepting any submissions for original characters for this campaign, sorry. If you’re looking to play Superman, Wonder Woman, or the Flash you are going to have a very hard time playing them to their full potential given the power level of the campaign.
I will be accepting only one Batman, and one Robin.
If you're stuck for an idea here's a list of some of the vigilantes who operate out of Gotham City.

After the tragic deaths of his parents, Bruce Wayne took pity on young Dick Grayson. Bruce recognized so much of himself in young Dick - he was clever and quick. He was also bitterly anger over losing his family. The billionaire playboy brought the young man into Wayne Mansion. Dick would often sneak out at night to hunt down their killer, only to be brought back the next morning by the police with bruises from fighting thugs for information. Bruce eventually had to revealed his identity to Dick after crossing paths, both searching for the murderer, and from then began to train young Dick as the first Robin. As Dick got older he started to patrol alone more. Dick is well aware eventually Bruce will ask him to take up the cape and cowl, but isn't sure he is ready. He found it difficult to get the respect and fear of criminal as Robin the Boy Wonder, the Batman's sidekick. He abandoned the Robin identity to take up the monicker Nightwing. He hopes that as Nightwing he can be eventually be ready to be the next Dark Knight.

•Angry: Ben is an angry man, and always has been. Some people just are, he figures, and at least he knows that it gets causes him nothing but problems. These days, he's trying to be Zen about it all, but when people hurt other people, it lights a fire inside which is hard to put out...
•Estranged family: Ben has seen his parents a couple of times since he came back to Gotham, but it's almost as if both parties are avoiding each other, which they probably are. Past events have pushed them apart, now Ben wants to mend those bridges, and when his family is ready he needs to be there.
•Loyal Pupil: Richard Dragon is Ben Turner's teacher, and he owes him his life. Ben will always answer the Kung Fu Master's call, and even though it's unlikely that this call will come since Richard lives on the other side of the world, you never know when he might turn up!
•Wayne Industries Ben's parents worked for this company at the time of the burglary and killing which kicked off Ben's life as it now stands. Without the Wayne Foundation, Ben would never have had the legal aid needed to keep him out of prison, and Ben understands that there will always be a debt of honour due for that good deed.
•Good Man: When it comes down to it, Ben's turmoil is motivated by his sense of injustice at a cruel world which devours families and leaves its victims with no mercy. When he was a criminal, Ben was never comfortable with going after the working man, and now Bronze Tiger fights ferociously to protect the people of Gotham city from the thugs, psychos and worse than threaten their lives.

Heck, looking at the 'possibles' list, Jason Blood/Etrigan sticks out.
I must ponder things this day.
who's my Robin?!
You've gotta come at it from the angle that there have been like a half-dozen different Batmans. It's like a whole rainbow of them
going from completely goofy in the Adam West show and Brave and the Bold to The Goddamn Batman when Frank Miller's writing him. Sometimes he's introspective, sometimes he's extra-punchy, etc.
Be your own Batman, Mikey.
I love Jason Blood and Etrigan, I think he'd make a perfect mystic expert/power house for a Gotham game. Personally I love Ragman but no one else ever seems to care about the character.
Agreed, Batman can be a bit intimidating, I think most people feel that way when faced with him. Make him your own if you're gunning for dark knight.
Catwoman is always welcome, I still think she needs a cat-o-nine tails though.
I'd rather avoid Green Arrow as he is pretty well established as a character based out of Star City, however if you wanted to break out Speedy or Red Arrow that'd be fine. Better to avoid the CW universe though so we can all do our own unique thing here.

Arc you could always put a few points into a sidekick if you really want a Robin of your own.

i'll take batgirl then if Mikey wants to Nightwing
consider that my final answer
(..plus i have a batgirl sheet already made from another game shh don't tell anyone)
If I had M&M I'd be all over Deadman, but I don't, sadly.
http://www.d20herosrd.com/
I actually like that idea a lot. Sort of Batman as a distant patriarchal figure.
Also, bleh... I forgot how much building a character in M&M could be pain in the arse.
Bat-wing lets Bruce be some sort of sinister, distance presence looming over everyone, which is not a bad use for him (see: Batman Beyond), just to say.

After the tragic deaths of his parents, Bruce Wayne took pity on young Dick Grayson. Bruce recognized so much of himself in young Dick - he was clever and quick. He was also bitterly anger over losing his family. The billionaire playboy brought the young man into Wayne Mansion. Dick would often sneak out at night to hunt down their killer, only to be brought back the next morning by the police with bruises from fighting thugs for information. Bruce eventually had to revealed his identity to Dick after crossing paths, both searching for the murderer, and from then began to train young Dick as the first Robin. As Dick got older he started to patrol alone more. Dick is well aware eventually Bruce will ask him to take up the cape and cowl, but isn't sure he is ready. He found it difficult to get the respect and fear of criminal as Robin the Boy Wonder, the Batman's sidekick. He abandoned the Robin identity to take up the monicker Nightwing. He hopes that as Nightwing he can be eventually be ready to be the next Dark Knight.

BIO
Name: Barbara "Babs" Gordon
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 126 lbs
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Blue
Date of Birth: September 23
Education: Gotham Academy (graduated valedictorian)
Base of Operations: Gotham City
Motivation: Batgirl was born out of a plot by Two-Face to take over Gotham City. Set up on false charges of accepting bribes from renowned gangster Rupert Thorne, Commissioner Gordon was thrown in jail, and with Batman deep undercover, Barbara decided to take things into her own hands and free her father. Now having been in the business for a few years Barbara has adopted Bruce's mission in trying to stem the endless tide of corruption that washes through Gotham's streets.
Making Deadman shouldn't be that expensive all things considered, although it does offer the interesting challenge of being invisible and unable to communicate without possessing someone. I would suggest the following, but I yield to Arc's mastery of all things mechanical in this. I would give Deadman pretty high scores in his Agility and Dexterity as he is a world class acrobat, and since he's an Olympic level athlete I'd give him moderate Strength and Stamina as well. Boston Brand's got some Charisma and I think his experiences in the afterlife have imparted some Wisdom onto him too.
For skills I'd boost his Acrobatics, Athletics, Close Combat (Unarmed), Deception, Insight, Investigation, Perception, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, and possibly give him an Expertise or two in Magic or Religion depending on how many points I wanted to throw into it.
His powers aren't all that expensive, but here's a breakdown as I see them.
Possession/Affliction 8 [Resisted by Fortitude DC 18] Entranced, Compelled, Controlled [Extras: Concentration]- 16 Points
Comprehend [Spirits] 2 - 4 Points
Flight 5 [Extras: Subtle] -12 Points
Immunity 7 [Aging, Disease, Poison, Suffocation Effects, Starvation and Thirst, the Need for Sleep] -7 Points
Insubstantial 4 [Extras: Innate Flaws: Permanent] -21 Points
Invisibility 1 [Visual Concealment, All Visual Senses] -8 Points
Those powers come out to about 68 points so they're slightly more than half of the build total which sounds about right to me. Even though he can't touch things most of the time Boston's skills shouldn't be ignored since he carries them into whatever body he possesses.
Anyway shutting up now so that Arc can do a better version. Hope that helps a bit though.

destroyah I'm psyched that you're going to be making Batman, if you find difficulty with the point total and fitting everything like the cave/vehicles/misc. let me know.
The art style of Bruce Timm cemented Batman as one of my favorite characters, it's also a fixture of how I picture Gotham to this day.
So Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing, and possibly Deadman...that's pretty awesome.

As for giving Batman more points I can agree with that because he is a more established character than most of the other heroes in Gotham, my concern is I don't want to make anyone else feel underpowered by comparison. I could see my way to giving destroyah an additional 15-20 points for his build total if no one else objects though.

Considering that those extra points would probably be tied up in Batcave equipment/vehicles (where does he get those wonderful toys!), I think that's reasonable.
Of course, as the person likely to profit from these bonus points, I would say that. Wouldn't I?

I'm fine with Batman having a few extra points. I think its more important in a game that everyone feels like they are contributing rather than have equal power levels. That said, it makes sense for the Batman to be more experienced and I don't see 15-20 points swinging things that much.
100 equipment points for vehicles and arsenal is definitely reasonable
