Movie: James Bond

[Trakx]

As cool as I thought his movies were, I never got too deep into the James Bond storyline.

How would any of you imagine his write-up to look?

Here is a rough draft:

Alias: 007
Real Name: James Bond
Calling: Protector
Hindrance(s): Overconfident(?), Nemesis (unofficial hindrance where he has many powerful enemies who are seeking him out)

05 STRENGTH
Boxing, Swimming

08 AGILITY
Contingent Attack
Demolitions
Driving
Escape Artistry
Marksmanship
Piloting
Stealth

08 INTELLECT
Assessment
Computers
Criminology
Cryptography
Diplomacy
Electronics
Espionage (World Class)
Law
Linguistics

07 WILLPOWER
Appraise
Military
Observation
Resist Domination
Tracking

POWERS

15 Luck Control



======================
I know I have too many skills, but I wasn't sure which ones should stay and which should go. Then again, it's entirely possible that I missed some that he definitely would have.

I gave him Luck Control because, personally, I feel like all movie action heroes have this power. Maybe that's just me.

Any ideas?

Nemesis as a hindrance doesn't really weork inside the context of a supers game...just because, well, its kinda assumed...=)

As for skills, give him two more Strength skills and he qualifies for Skillmaster, which suits Bond nicely, I think.

I don't think he NEEDS Luck control, but Edge of 4 would definitely be fitting here.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about what Hindrances, if any, to give him. If he's the arrogant Bond, Over Confident - but it doesn't always apply. I don't know. Thoughts?

Skillmaster is a great idea. But he has too many Intellect skills, if I recall how Skills work correctly. That puts him at a code of above an A, I think.

And I hadn't thought about his Edge - good point. Definitely a 4.

Bond, the man who defies the odds, though... if any non-comic book character were to have Luck Control - I think he would be it. I'd easily take it off, but just think about it.

As for the Abilities - how do you think I did there? Too high? Too low?

Does he have any standard equipment?

Should I give him the Mutants & Masterminds' power of Gadgetry? That certainly suits him.

Lessee...for Skillmaster, he has to have all scores at 8A or higher, and then he can have any number of skills, I think.

To me, that's probably not out of line for Bond, but someone more versed in Bond-age (*groan*sorry) would have to answer.
