Hi all – Sorry I missed the kickstarter, but more excited than I can articulate that we have an Apocolypse Hack for supers.

Two not so simple questions/ clarifications:

1. A character design like the Hulk decides to try a take-down by essentially punching someone in the face (Smash) – how would you differentiate that from a scenario where say Luke Cage does the same thing? Both would emphasize Smash, both have super strength, but the Hulk is far stronger. If I’m tracking right they each have the same chance to do the same amount of Conditions/ damage. Is it purely the fiction?

2. I understand circumstances where a villain has something which simply prevents the heroes from being effective and therefore forces them to approach things differently rather than brute force. Flame attacks won’t work on a fire elemental, fists go right through an insubstantial ghost, etc… What about an adversary who is all about skill/ prowess? I’m thinking of things like the battles with the Winter Soldier in the last (and oh so awesome) Captain America movie. There is no absolute fiction about the Winter Solider that says Cap cannot take him down – they are evenly matched. How woud you make such an adversary a tough fight, while remaining true to the fiction?
