AMAZO
Created By:
Gardner Fox & Murphy Anderson
First Appearance: The Brave and the Bold #30 (June 1960)
Role: Copycat Villain, Silver Surfer Homage, Naiive Newcomber
Voice Actor: Robert Picardo
Finest Moment: Beat the living crap out of various League incarnations, from six people to a hundred.
PL 14 (510)
STRENGTH
10 STAMINA -- AGILITY 0
FIGHTING 9 DEXTERITY 0
INTELLIGENCE 0 AWARENESS -1 PRESENCE -1

Skills:
Intimidation 8 (+7)

Advantages:
Ranged Attack 8

Powers:
"Android Body"
Immunity 30 (Fortitude Effects) [30]
Protection 10 (Extras: Impervious 9) [19]
Regeneration 8 (Feats: Regrowth) [9]

"Nanotech-Based Mimicry"
Mimic (All Traits of Others) 50 (Extras: Continuous) (Flaws: Tainted, Full-Round Action) [400]
(250 points' worth of traits)

Offense:
Unarmed +9 (+10 Damage, DC 25)
League Powers +14 (+14 Damage, DC 29)
League Ranged Powers +12 (+12 Ranged Damage, DC 27)
Initiative +0 (+12 Flash Speed)

Defenses:
Dodge +9 (DC 19), Parry +9 (DC 19), Toughness +10 (+5 Impervious), Fortitude --, Will +6

Complications:
Power Loss, Weakness, Vulnerable (Various)- Amazo adopts the weaknesses of anyone he copies, up to and including Kryptonite.
Relationship (Father Figures)- Amazo was heartbroken when his "father" Professor Ivo died, and he looked to Luthor as a replacement. This made him easily-controlled.

Total: Abilities: 24 / Skills: 8--4 / Advantages: 8 / Powers: 458 / Defenses: 16 (510)

-Amazo, being pretty much the worst name in the history of comics not possessed by a D-League joke (Paste-Pot Pete, Rainbow Raider and the like), got only one or two mentions and nods in the episodes featuring this guy, usually referred to as "The Android" or "Ivo's Android". A nanotech-based monster of a warrior (who nonetheless only wishes for a father figure to replace the dead Ivo), he pretty much just scans the members of the League and copies their powers. "Power Copying" is about the nastiest power in all the world, so he made short work of the team numerous times, being beaten back once only because he'd gained Superman's weakness to Kryptonite the first time around (it wouldn't work a second, since Amazo was wise to it). Subsequently, he was the classic case of "convince the bad guy to go away", as J'onn willingly gave up his Telepathy to allow The Android to read Luthor's mind, and see his inevitable betrayal.

-Unfortunately, he came back, packing WAY more power the second time around, to punish Luthor and discover his purpose in existence, in that order. Now, I ran into problems with this variant, since he was just FAR too powerful for the context of the show. For a Big Bad ending villain, fine, but this? Especially once he turned good again and tried to help the heroes out? He had GOD-LIKE POWER enough to blow planets apart, and he just hung around, doing nothing? No wonder they half-assedly wrote him out, causing trouble thanks to a deus ex machina in Solomon Grundy's enhanced powers and bailing to allow the League to do their thing. We never saw him again after that, presumably doing whatever the heck else he needed to do to find his purpose in life (hint: The writers plum ran out of crap for him to do, so he was written out permanently- he never returned from his exile from the Grundy fight). Regular Android, good. Godlike Android, bad. He may just be floating above the Earth, wondering when it's safe to come back down.

-The most powerful JLU character by far, and this is just the BASELINE Android (full-on power is essentially Variable Power X by the time JLU rolled around). His Mimic (essentially Variable since it takes more than a Move Action) has enough ranks on it to gobble up all the power sets in the Big Seven and THEN some, allowing him to increase his power. He's bad enough just with Hawkgirl's Mace & Flash's Speed, but once he starts cranking out GL-level Energy Blasts, the Lasso & all of SUPERMAN's powers? Well then they're just done unless they cheat. Variable's an expensive power once you get to these high levels- he can grab powers at Range, always keeps them, and doesn't have any of those silly flaws that the official "DCA" build gave him, because those don't match what the Mimic or Variable Powers actually outline. But hey, he's a one-shot villain, so you can get away with cracking open the power rules a bit.

-Note some baseline powers he starts with: He's tough, but PL 10 tough. He can Regenerate too, as shown with Luthor blows up his head and he just pops in a new one (obviously he didn't get that from the League). But boosting his Powers with theirs, shoring up his Strength, accuracy and Advantages (mostly from The Flash)? He's a PL 14 ass-kicker.

About the Performer: Robert Picardo is best-known to today's audiences as the holographic Doctor in "Star Trek: Voyager"- about 90% of the episodes I saw focused on him more than any other character, as the writers apparently decided that all the other characters were terrible, and didn't want to focus on them. He was first known to audiences as the hilarious buffoon, Coach Cutlip, on "The Wonder Years", where he perfectly portrayed the kind of always-hostile teacher kids loved to hate. He even had a sweet episode once, where he was a Mall Santa, explaining to the main kid that "I just wanted kids to like me". He actually got his start in theater, doing well on that front.

-King was pretty much the weakest concept of the bunch, a smarmy leader-type who didn't do any actual leading, and just shot energy blasts around. He ran away in the final fight because he thought the bomb was gonna go off. Just a simple, bare-bones Blaster, made a bit better because it's a powerful repeating Blast, but he's still not very great. Very much the type of guy you throw against the party just because the villains need a Blaster.

About the Performer: Scott Menville is best known for playing Robin on the silly "Teen Titans" cartoon series, but also played Ma-Ti on "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" for a number of years, Johnny Quest on his "New Adventures" show, and Kevin French on "Mission Hill"- quite the varied cast list. His higher-pitched, Rob Paulsen-esque voice leads him to a lot of teenaged male characters. He's also yet another "Wonder Years" alum on "JLU", as he played Wayne's friend Wart for a while.

Apparently the five members of the first Royal Flush Gang were all voiced one of the five main Teen Titans in that cartoon, too.

-Queen was another Bruce Timm-esque nearly-nude hottie, given a magnetic gimmick. She gave The Flash & GL a bit of trouble, but Hawkgirl made REALLY short work of her once she tried to go mace-for-mace. More of the same, in a fairly one-note character, though she packs a punch with her metal-covered hand. It takes a bit for her to get up the Armour Coating, but once she does, she's nearly full-on with her defensive caps, in addition to her other powers. She can lay out the bullets, toss cars around like candy, and ensnare people, but again she doesn't spend a lot of points, and is thus fairly limited.

About the Performer: Queen completes the casting gag of the Gang by being voiced by a "Teen Titans" star- Tara Strong became the iconic, deadpan voice for Raven in that show, making the character more popular than at any point in her history (albeit by completely altering the original intentions of the dark, mystical character). Strong was detailed with my Batgirl bio, as that was her first big DCAU job- Strong has become a living legend of sorts for all the different roles she's played. Her big roles were Bubbles on "The Powerpuff Girls", Ben Tennyson on "Ben 10", Raven on "Teen Titans", Twilight Sparkle on "My Little Pony", and Timmy Turner on "The Fairly OddParents"- a HUGE array of big names. She's also Rikku in "Final Fantasy X", having done a lot of Video Game voicing as well. And she fits that weird tendency of female VAs to be SCORCHINGLY hot, as she is a very busty, "classically pretty" blonde, and could easily get roles as "The Hot Girl", even in her 40s.

-Jack was one of the more inventive Royal Flush Gang members, being a Mr. Fantastic-like stretchy guy, which made him tailor-made to give human-level guys like Batman a huge challenge. Unable to be really hurt by most of Batman's weapons (including his exploding Batarangs), he beat the crap out of him for a bit, until Harley Quinn's camera-wielding helicopter got too close, and Batman casually whipped one of Jack's elongated limbs right into the propeller, ending two threats at once.

-Jack has a much more varied set of powers than his buddies. He's a physical threat, and can barely be injured by anything (Batman's Exploding Batarang merely caused indigestion and discomfort). He's still fairly limited outside of combat, but combat's all these guys were good for anyways.

About the Performer: Greg Cipes is best known for playing Beast Boy on "Teen Titans", but also played Kevin Levin on "Ben 10", and Michelangelo in the 2012 Nickelodeon "TMNT" series. Like Scott Menville, he has a high-pitched voice ideal for playing teenage males, though typically plays the goofy, wacky ones.

Hm, unfortunately my copy of the JLU movie never materialized, and I will not build anything from a movie I haven't seen, so I won't be building those characters. Maybe later, if I find a copy. I'll slot something else into that couple of days it would have taken.

Complications:
Motivation (Destruction)- Their time under the government's heel has made the Royal Flush Gang highly-bitter and destructive. Most of them just want to fight the League for the absolute sheer hell of it.
Obsession (Proving Himself the Strongest)- Ten has an intense desire to prove himself, and thus fights Superman for the sole reason of wanting to be the strongest guy around.

Total: Abilities: 70 / Skills: 10--5 / Advantages: 14 / Powers: 21 / Defenses: 10 (120)

-The Royal Flush Gang only showed up for a single arc, but it was a good'n. The arc where The Joker planted bombs all over Las Vegas, and freed some government-kidnapped kids into doing his dirty work by holding the Justice League off.

-Ten was pretty simplistic, but it's a beautifully-simple concept: A guy who's as strong as Superman. And that's it. No Heat Vision, no Super-Senses, not even any Flight- he's just strong as hell, and can hold Superman at bay. He's just your average cocky young black man, with the side effect of being almost impossible to injure. He served the purpose of keeping GameBreaker Superman at bay for the ENTIRETY of the arc, meaning the other heroes had to do everything. At the end, Supes suggested that they stop fighting, because the bomb would kill EVERYONE. Ten said "So? I'll still win!" That pretty much summed him up in a nutshell.

-Ten is ridiculously strong (though well within common sense- JLU's power levels were a bit lower than the base DCU's at times, as guys like Superman maxed out at lifting 747s under duress, rather than whipping around aircraft carriers), and basically tailor-made for fighting Superman. He won't WIN the fight (he's two PL points under what Supes will be), but he'll take almost every punch easily, and can dish out his own, being held back only by his amateurish fighting skills. During the episode, they basically slugged it out non-stop, and Ten walked through everything Supes could throw at him till the very end. Oh, and he's completely immune to pain, which means that no matter what you do to him, he won't really feel it.

About the Performer: Voicing a teen well into his 40s, Khary Payton voiced Cyborg on the "Teen Titans" cartoon. He was on the soap "General Hospital" for years, as well as playing King on "The Walking Dead". In recent years, he's played Cyborg again, and also voices Wasabi in the Disney XD "Big Hero Six" series, replacing one of the Wayans brothers.

Initiative +0

Defenses:
Dodge +0 (DC 10), Parry +0 (DC 10), Toughness +0, Fortitude +2, Will +4

Complications:
Responsibility (Incredible Power)- Ace left her parents permanently comatose with her powers, and they are in constant danger of raging out of control. She's been experimented upon her entire life, and she knows nothing of love or caring. It's fairly sympathetic, as you could imagine.

Total: Abilities: 2 / Skills: 00--0 / Advantages: 2 / Powers: 95 / Defenses: 4 (103)

-Ace was the final member of the Royal Flush Gang, an unfortunate young girl who was born with psychosis-inducing powers that ended up wiping her parents' brains permanently. This sad story culminated in a flashback episode where Terry "Batman Beyond" McGinnis heard first-hand the story of how Batman calmly stayed with the poor girl as her brain finally broke from the incredible power it had, refusing to simply kill her with a weapon (as Amanda Waller had recommended). But in her debut episode, she was just a manipulated young girl who held an entire viewing audience in her grasp with her mind-powers, all except Batman, who turned her by showing her just how bad The Joker really was. The Joker, of course, was immune to her power ("I'm ALREADY crazy"), until she realized HE planned on betraying her too, and so she turned her FULL POWER on him. We never saw him in the Timmverse continuity again.

-Ace is the lowest-end physically of the Gang, but has by far the most devastating power. With a look, she can drain someone of all reason, send them into spasms, or cause them to see things, all of which essentially amounts to a massive mental Weaken, alongside a Stunning kind of Affliction, because once they look at her, they CANNOT look away. Superman & Flash fell in seconds to this, and even Batman had to basically cheat to break her spell. This means she gets the Area- Visual Perception boost on two simultaneous linked powers. Pretty much all kinds of broken, so she requires smarts, teamwork and a lot of luck to defeat her.

-For the powers she later develops, you're better off looking at a PL X Reality Warper with Variable- Affects Others (she gives an entire group of people League-level powers and makes a giant castle in the middle of Central Park).

About the Performer: Hynden Walch, like the other Gang members, was played by a Teen Titan- Hynden Walch plays Starfire on "Teen Titans" and "Teen Titans Go!". However, her biggest role may be that of Princess Bubblegum on the longtime "we sniff glue while making this" smash hit, the bizarre "Adventure Time", which has created a storm of imitators and has thus become an inescapable influence on pop culture in cartoons. She also does a lot of anime voiceovers, like Yutaka in "Lucky Star" and Nia in "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann" (Hey! I... have heard the names of those things!). Ace almost never talked, but when she did, it really counted.

-Doctor Polaris is one of those guys who is probably supposed to be seen as cool and/or bad-ass, but is so clearly shittier than a guy at the other company with the same gimmick that there's just no point in even trying with him. Marvel's Magneto became everything a "Sympathetic Villain" should be, in the end turning into an icon of the industry... leaving Dr. Polaris as "just some Silver Age douche". Though his comic book version (initially a Green Lantern foe, he was later "farmed out" to most other DC Characters, since he's always been minor-league) had a case of "Jekyll & Hyde Syndrome", with an evil super-powered side, after his experiments with magnets gave him super-powers. He really only showed up in two JLU episodes (The Great Brain Robbery and the Blackhawk Island attack), showing an intense rivalry with Lex Luthor in the "Legion of Doom", and attempting open revolt with Flash-in-Luthor's-Body was having problems keeping order. He was really just a random face chosen for the job, though, as he wasn't even voiced by a distinctive star- they just had The Flash's VA record his lines.

-As if to show how throwaway he was, the show didn't even bother to redesign his GOD-AWFUL Silver Age look- they just plopped a simplified comic book Dr. Polaris into the "Bruce Timm Style" and called it a day. No refining, no giving him a helmet that didn't look like ass, no nothing- it's just Silver Age Doofus out there, as if even the WRITERS didn't give a crap, so why should we?

-Determining his PL from a single episode was tough, but I figure him for about PL 11, since he was a potential leader of the Legion, and did really well against Hawkgirl, Flash & Fire (until they found out his weakness). But yeah, Magneto-Lite.

-Doomsday's a villain with a goal: Kill Superman. That's it. It's all he can do. Just a relentless killing machine created by Cadmus to become Superman's ultimate enemy. It of course went horribly wrong. This is a big difference from the comics, where he's some weird Kryptonian thing that actually KILLED the Man of Steel. In the show, he pretty much exists on reputation alone, stalemating the Justice Lords upon their debut as the 'new' Justice League, and a showcase of their newer, more brutal methods of dealing with criminals. Lobotomized, Doomsday was stalled, but not for long. He doesn't even care that his hatred of Superman is forced upon him; he just wants to kill the guy. He kicked Real Superman's ass so badly that Supes had to throw him into an ERUPTING VOLCANO to have a chance of survival.

-Doomsday's a beast, plain and simple, more than a match for Superman in melee combat (Cripes, he took on FIVE PL 12s and a PL 11 in his debut!). He's of course much more limited in his options (he basically just punches), but really, with PLUS SIXTEEN to his damage modifier, he doesn't need much else. Just a purely lethal monster. Note a few extra powers, though: He can regenerate from damage over time (not that quickly though- he's just REALLY tough and hard to hurt), and he can 'fix' himself from prior defeats. That's sort of the Nemesis Power from 2e, with the modification that his bonuses DON'T go away, but with the Flaws that he has to actually LOSE via those methods first, which as far as Flaws go, is pretty severe. He's also got the "Slow" Flaw, since it doesn't happen anytime soon after he gets beaten.

About the Performer: Michael Jai White is a martial artist/actor whose biggest role was as Spawn in the 1997 film, back when Spawn was popular and relevant. He was in a few Tyler Perry films, as well as Jax in the weird "Mortal Kombat: Legacy" webseries, and starred in "Black Dynamite".

I can't think of Michael Jai White without thinking of Anaconda Malt Liquor. It gives you WOOOOO!

Who else gives you WOOOOO?

Little Richard.

And what is another name for Richard...?

"Anaconda Malt Liquor gives you little dick!"

A masterpiece of Blaxploitation logic.
