You also didn't mention his "scorcher" mode, where he causes his sweat to combust without harm to himself.

As for Blur, he never needed googles when he ran at high speeds in the original series. He also was the only member of D.P.7 who remained in the army, so he has some skills related to soldiering.

Finally, one thing I don't remember seeing mentioned so far (and which recent Marvel writers seem unaware of, or just don't care) is that the NU Earth was transferred from it's native Reality-148611 to Reality-616 during the Starblast crossover.
I've never read D.P.7 and these are entirely Wiki-built, so there's stuff like that I'm sure to miss. Scuzz doesn't even seem to have a Marvunapp bio- I think I just tossed stuff from Wikipedia or maybe the Marvel Wiki/Fandom site onto him- the build's about five years old and was pretty half-assed, lol. Scuzz is given this bio on Comicvine:
After escaping the Clinic, Scuzz joined a cult who believed that the White Event was the work of God. Frustrated by his inability to touch, he attacked The Cure, a Paranormal who could remove others' mutations by touch. Fortunately Glitter healed The Cure's hands, but Scuzz lost his powers because he had touched The Cure.
His Marvel Wiki bio is also pretty short, largely including him as just another guy on the team: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Dennis_C ... th-148611). Though in this case, they mention what the "Scorcher" form is.

What was Starblast? I don't think I've heard of that one.

The note about Blur's goggles is found in his Comicvine bio: https://comicvine.gamespot.com/blur/4005-29813/ (this might have been my only source back in the day)

It's very interesting and pretty scary, but not as scary as this:

Her ability to provoke great fear (in me) by calling me "first name middle name surname" is probably proof that she's part of the Sinestro Corps.

What was Starblast? I don't think I've heard of that one.
Starblast was a 4 issue series that had tie-ins in Quasar, Namor, Fantastic Four, and Secret Defenders. It was about a villain named Skeletron (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/skeltron.htm) trying to steal the power of the Starbrand. As I said, the end result was the NU Earth ending up in Reality-616, although the Living Tribunal cut off access between it and the rest of the universe.
Always ask before you use someone's Original Character.
Never ever use them without permission. Only Villains do that.

Okay, the build for Scuzz has been updated to include a "Scorcher Form", building him up by two ranks of each power temporarily.

Ah, OK- I knew the name "Skeletron" sounded familiar, and I in fact did a bio of him in 2016: Skeletron. It mentions the New Universe merge, which I'd long forgotten about.

Skeletron isn't a Marvel Comics character. He's a ‎RIFTS® O.C.C. for some sort of Coalition cyborg and nothing you say -- including such silly things as producing concrete evidence to the contrary -- is ever going to convince me otherwise.

Mastodon (NU)

Post by Jabroniville »

Image

MASTODON (David Landers)
Created By:
Mark Gruenwald & Paul Ryan
First Appearance: D.P. 7 #1 (Nov. 1986)
Role: Team Strongman
PL 8 (82)
STRENGTH
9 STAMINA 9 AGILITY 0
FIGHTING 6 DEXTERITY 0
INTELLIGENCE 0 AWARENESS 0 PRESENCE 0

Skills:
Expertise (Cheese Factory Worker) 4 (+4)
Expertise (Survival) 4 (+4)
Perception 2 (+2)
Vehicles 8 (+8)

Advantages:
Ranged Attack 6

Powers:
"Super-Strong"
Leaping 2 (30 feet) [2]
Immunity 10 (Mental Effects) [10]

Offense:
Unarmed +6 (+9 Damage, DC 24)
Initiative +0

Defenses:
Dodge +5 (DC 15), Parry +6 (DC 16), Toughness +9, Fortitude +9, Will +4

Complications:
Relationship (Antibody)- The two are best friends.
Relationship (Glitter- Stephanie Harrington)- David has unrequited feelings for the woman who'd eventually become his teammate- eventually, they form a couple.
Prejudice (Obvious Superhuman)- David's facial hair grows at a constant rate, and he is noticeably larger than most people, and with a pronounced brow.

Total: Abilities: 48 / Skills: 18--9 / Advantages: 6 / Powers: 12 / Defenses: 9 (84)

-Landers is probably the most important character of DP7 after Antibody- Gruenwald was inspired to create him after reading about electrolysis-induced muscle growth experiments (currently peddled by snake-oil salesmen as Automatic Six-Pack-Creating Girdles). In this case, Landers was wracked with the pain of muscle spasms, similar to those who've had their muscles stimulated by an electrical charge. David befriended Antibody, and the two led the team for a while- David was the last captured, living with a hermit who taught him how to fight. He allowed himself to be captured, then sprung his allies- they then worked to turn the Clinic into a force for good. He became the director of security for the place... but unfortunately wasn't that good at it, as a riot eventually broke out.

-Later, he fell for Glitter once they'd all been drafted into the army, but went AWOL and was imprisoned. Solitary confinement drove him to suicide, but he survived the attempt thanks to Antibody's medical training. Eventually, David & Antibody went into hiding together, forming a bromance of sorts. Eventually, however, he DID hook up with Glitter.

-Davis is kind, but unskilled- he was a worker in a cheese factory before he gained powers. However, he is apparently a great shot and a good driver of any kind of motor vehicle.

So, quick count, how many other "Earths" exist in the Marvel Universe right now? New Universe Earth, the Heroes Reborn Earth, the other Earth from Hickman's FF run all the people from the future came back to live on, the High Evolutionary's Earth...

Fewer than in Star Trek.

Nope, that's part of the "mom" archetype, although mine has mastered the ability to cause a terrible sense of guilt.
"You're right. Sorry. Holy shit," I breathed, "heckhounds.”
