Count me in for Hannibal King guest-shot... If he's not available for the Cap thing, you can certainly call on me for that, too, given Cap is my all time number one favorite hero... I threw together a quick CAD for Hannibal King, so we can start with the roleplaying. I'm going to get some comics he's in and take suggestions from y'all so we can make this CAD right.

King's CAD looks fine to me (again, with my limited knowledge of the characters full vampire adventures), but I wonder if he shouldn't have the Drain Energy action with a limitation that he needs to either hold/pin the victim or they have to be willing for it to work. Certainly, as a vampire he lives on "life energy" (in the form of blood).
If his need to drink blood and the effects of doing so are something you'd rather leave to story elements, thats fine by me as well.

I'll ad the Drain energy and a couple other things like night vision and reconstiture self.

Yeah, if I was looking for a Captain America I would have gone directly to you. ;D Hopefully, if you were looking for a Hulk you would come to me, but who would be looking for a Hulk?

The interesting thing about Hannibal King is, even though he needs it, he didn't ever take a human's blood and rarely used his " vampire powers" so he wouldn't need to feed. He used his physical powers, but I guess they don't use as much blood as the more mental or transformative powers. This carries over when Dr Strange destroys all vampires with the Montesi Formula, King was able to be saved and therefore returned to humanity, because he never fully embraced the whole vampire thing. So even though he should have it, he shouldn't use the energy drain power.

As for Hannibal King's draft, I think he should have a 5 Strength. I judge this off of Beast and not Spider-Man. I believe he should be as strong as the Beast. I also think he can transform into a bat. I don't think he can Wolfen, but I believe he turned into a bat back in the day. I do believe he had Animal Senses of the wolf though. I can't remember. He was featured in the old School "Deluxe" Marvel Universe, which I have, but I can't access it now.

If I ever do Avengers for my "Xavier Academy" universe, I'll call on you for Hulk. That Hulk is a bit different though, since Banner can usually control him.

I could do that, but I prefer the more simple minded Hulk. That's the true hero. When you put Banner in the mix you get the Gray Hulk more or less.

Imagine "Madder is Badder" except that "Badder is also Dumber" and you're on to what I've done with Hulk LOL
Of course, thats all background... at the "start" of the game, Banner could re-mutate himself to be any Hulk you wanna portray.

He was featured in the old School "Deluxe" Marvel Universe, which I have, but I can't access it now. I have Hannibal King's stats from the TSR 1990 character update, but it only stats him as a human with Typical(6) Strength. The October 1987 issue of Dragon Magazine says that vampirism adds only +1 CS to strength with a maximum of Remarkable. I also checked Marvel.com that has stats (of a sort) for Hannibal as a vampire. It has his strength as a 4 on its official rating. (I checked the Beast and the official rating for strength on him is a 6.) So based on the evidence, Hannibal King's Strength will remain a 4. That's not too shabby though. It's Captain America strong! (For a guy who loves Captain America.)

Yeah I'm fine with it as-is. I just think Drain Energy is a natural for a vampire

Well I would have had that too, given Vampires need blood, not just want it.
There are going to be a lot less stray dogs in New York while I'm around...

Can I use Flight during this Panel to reach Hannibal as I revert to normal form?
