Affiliations: Heroes, Avengers, Enhanced

“From a young age, Humberto Lopez wanted to be a hero. Finding a fossilized amulet on an archaeology dig with his parents, 'Berto would get his chance as the super powered hero Reptil! Thrust into the hero life with little training by the Initiative, Reptil comes to the rescue of innocents with the ability to transform into multiple different prehistoric dinosaurs. Still learning the limits of his powers and the control needed to master them, Reptil is a powerful, if somewhat unstable, force on any battlefield he is called to in order to protect others.”

Mmmmmm dinosaurs. Looks fun at least. Getting to shift might a bit difficult, much less use the abilities when shifted.

3

Will he hurt himself as last man standing, or just allies? Since it’s random target will it hit invisible allies?

4

Wait? Who is coded as supernatural?

5

is there a mechanic I’m not understanding. Why not just create a strike/protect tile that’s the final strength in the first place? Why does it need empowered when placed?

6

I just wanna know who he feeds.

7

I read empowered as being a temporary boost that goes away when he reverts to human form.

8

Empowered is the term used when a tile is improved. Newer characters use this term and older characters will be updated to this term when we get around to it. The tile is placed at a given strength, but if he’s in dino-form, it’ll be placed at a stronger amount.

9

Does “empowered” mean improving a specific tile or tiles permanently (e.g., C4rol or 5* Kitty), or does it refer boosting the strengh of existing tiles by a specified amount, but only so long as the respective character is active (e.g., 4* punisher)? Or both?

10

The former. It’s a quick term for “Improves the strength of”.

11

Any word that’ll you plan to use for the inverse of “empower”?

12

New affiliations just dropped:

13

Are there any powers actually worded like that? Most say “improves friendly ______ tile by ###”

seems lateral to me, but if y’all prefer it I would just want it to be a consistent keyword.

14

I’ve no idea who this guy is, but his powers are straightforward, with the exception of the word empower, which has been clarified.

There are two ways to play around his potential self-stun:

  1. team him up with allies that go airborne to avoid the self stun.
  2. make use of self-stun. Hydra Stomper comes to mind.

Alternatively, focus on his 25% damage increment for Supernatural allies. The kit is pretty straightforward, so there’s nothing much to it.

15

I was thinking paired him with BP for that self stun mechanism, but the chance decrease as it more cover. LOL.

16

The stun only applies to Reptil, not his allies.

17

me too. I know they said they’ll do without connections, which is good because I can’t find his connection to any of the unfed. He’s got Avengers connections, and was in the AvX story from Avengers Academy, and some Pym Particles in there too, and Savage Land, but I know very little other than his wiki

Magneto due to AvX?
Daken due to having claws?
Ronan due to the Skrull invasion?
Moon Knight due to Moon Boy?
KK due to magical amulets?

Tenuous connections at best.

18

sorry but bad character, sounds to me bottom of 4 tier list. His welcome to shield is going to be a nightmare. its going be a long time before he gets champed. skipper

19

okay, ignore that last post. Discord states that like 4* Jennifer Walters, Reptil starts without a feeder but with reason

“No feeder planned for him. There’s a reason for that, which I can’t reveal at the moment.”

20

So he’ll feed the next 5.

I’d rather they catch up instead of feeding forward, but whatever.
