Squirrell Girl - for Great Justice!

[Jet]

I just HAD TO DO IT! My favourite character and no CAD about her in a long time, justice had to be done! Note, that this is a comic-relief character, joke rather than important person, but she's still in canon, bear with it fanboys! I tried to make her as much accurate to comic books as possible, I might even make the rest of the GLI later if you wish.

***


Squirrel Girl first appeared in "Marvel Super-Heroes, vol 2 #8 in 1992, where she appeared as a 14 years old mutant with Squirrel theme powers, who wanted to be Iron Man sidekick. She managed to beat Dr Doom with pack of wild squirrels and free Iron Man, but ultimately was rejected. It seemed like the end of her, but she did apeared later as a new member of the most silly super hero team ever, Great Lakes Avengers (later changed to GLX-men, GLDefenders, GLChampions and finally to GLInitiative). She's an active member of the team up to current day.
As she was created to become a joke character and a joke she remained. Supposedly the most powerfull hero of all times, who single handetly was able to beat worlds greatest villains. Her list consists of Dr Doom, Mandarin, M.O.D.O.K., Bi-Beast... heck, even Terrax, Thanos (the real one, not a clone or robot!) and even Deadpool (even more than once!). She's a good friend to Thing (she did helped him against Bi-Beast... it was a GREAT fight!) and has a crush on Speedball. After Stamford Incident, when Speedball turned into Penance, she tried to get him back to his old self, but failed to see "just how deep he is now". She even tried to make a time jump (courtesy of Dr Doom, afraid she might beat him again), but failed and the love story might continue later...

All hail Squirrel Girl!
Also, I would add a level (or more) of General Knowledge with the specialty of Superheroes And Supervillains. Or two (or more) levels for the specialties to be divided.
After all, she is a huge fan of many superheroes, to the extent of knowing as much about them as the real world fans do. And the Supervillains because she encounters them regularly.

I believe it's most accurately represented in the form of General Knowledge in tandem with equipment (namely, the trading cards that she apparently has pulled out to show characters their own stats within comic panels) or perhaps, a Personalized Action (Superhero/villain Trading Card Collecting), which would include the knowledge depicted therein. Something like that, maybe?

[karljagheim]

That would be cool, do it!

This is an awesome build for her. I have two questions though.

1) Do you think that the fact that nearly everyone underestimates her even with her wins dives into a power? It is like people have to really investigate her or have been bested by her to consider her a threat. . . I think only Deadpool takes her seriously at this point. If you were to make something like this a power how would you work it?

2) Considering her very clever use of her powers do you think that may push up the INT one point? She seems to outsmart even Marvel's brightest at times. She figured out how to use her modest powers to best doom at 14 years old. If this is more of a function of wit than Int, what system/skill would best represent cunning? I thought about General Knowledge but I am not sure that is the best.

I look forward to your thoughts, they will help me with an OC I am working on. Thanks.

1) What part of

Unexplained benefactor allowing her to beat just about anyone ever: 6
(aka: Good Luck, really good)[/qoute]

didnt you understand? Its there for that exact reason.

2) There is a difference between "inteligence" and "wits". Sure, they seem to be usually used in the same category, but you dont have to have a high IQ to be clever in a fight (it helps though). Other then that, she never displayed any actual feats of intelligence, so I dont see a reason to give it more. Consider her more awesome manouvers a "creative usage of her player/writer"- it just happens that she has a lot bigger success ratio then anyone else in comic books (to be fair- she barely appeared at all).
And there is no reason to have General Knowledge- everything she knows is a common knowledge, maybe a little more. And probably most of it comes from wikipedia anyway

[raynorn]

Thanks for the input!

With 1, I was seeing that as more luck then people underestimating her, but now that you mention it and I take a second look at the rule for it. You are dead on that it could be mechanically the same & as I examine the rule set that likely is the best bet.

Thanks again for baring with me. I am still pretty new to this.

Fun Fact: We just murdered Squirrel Girl in Body Count. Sadly I was not the one to strike the final blow (I always begin that sentence with "Sadly", but in her case I was less sad.).

Fans of hers may be glad to hear she put up a good fight and thoroughly confounded members of our team. Granted they were some of the more confoundable members of the team, but she still did quite well for a joke character.

[Jet]

I always knew Body Count was made out of monsters, but you just outdid yourselves!

IT WAS I WHO KILLED HER! ;D


...but then she came back to life...and...now im fooling her and captain ultra...yeah...

andrew is full of twists....

[WildKnight]

Normally I'm not one for a "kill the good guys" type of game, but had I known they'd be killing this godawful insult to the collective intelligence of comic book fans, I would have made a special point to join Body Count.

Squirrel Girl is evidence that while comic books may once have been a medium for intelligent but socially awkward outsiders, they are now a medium primarily aimed at the mentally impaired.
