Avengers Branch TeamsFor years, the Avengers operarelatively autonomously, as diFantastic Four and other supeteams. As the complexities of fighting expanded and the actAvengers expanded to meet thteam's needs changed.

The most prominent proposal nearing avote is the General Assembly's desiredestablishment of an Avengers' branchteam for the purpose of policing areasoutside of the American continent. Thisproposal has been welcomed by allmember nations except the United States,but has never come close to resolutionsimply because of national disagreementsover membership proposals and thelocation of a base of operations.

The New AvengersIn every MARVEL SUPER HEROESgame world and even in all the alternateworlds explored by Uatu the Watcher, theAvengers are the ultimate guardians ofjustice and stand as symbols of all that isgood and right in the superhumanpopulation expansion of the late 20th

century. And now, players and Judgesalike have the chance to make their ownlegends alongside those of Thor, IronMan, the Vision, and the rest of theAvengers. Your campaign heroes andheroines have been chosen formembership in the Avengers!

Security and Background ChecksAll new members of the Avengers undergoa complex security screening process todetermine their suitability as members ofthe Avengers. The most important checkdetermines their suitability for access tosecret information. Every memberundergoes these checks before beingissued an Avengers Identicard orCommunicard. A specialized computer system in theAvengers command center handles theentire background check process. Thissystem, designed by Tony Stark(someone who understands the need forsecrecy), makes its information checks viaa unique random sequence code thatinitiates information checks through thedata banks of the FBI, the CIA, Interpol,the U.S. and the United Nations NationalSecurity Councils, and AMEX. The checksare disguised by encoding, identifyingthem as standard background checks forprospective employees of the U.S.Department of Agriculture. Areas of focusfor the program include checks on familystatus, past criminal behavior, psychiatrictreatment, substance abuse, andparticipation in anti-American (recentlychanged to "anarchist") groups. Thesystem also looks into any outstandingdebts and current credit ratings andevaluates any existing

educational records. Any information input by theoperator/new Avenger, most specificallythe hero's or heroine's civilian identity andaddress, is permanently erased fromAvengers computer files after the searchis complete. Safeguards like this areessential for members who choose tokeep their identities secret. After theprocess is completed, operators arenotified whether they have passed thesecurity qualifications. If player characterspass the security checks, they move up tofull-time Avengers status!

Benefits of MembershipHeroes in the MARVEL UNIVERSE havelong known the advantages of allyingthemselves with others against commonfoes. This is the most basic of benefitswhen a player character joins theAvengers. In addition, neophyte heroesgain access to the knowledge of moreexperienced teammates. It's best to learnthings first hand, but fighting theAbsorbing Man without any preparatoryknowledge is not recommended if anyonecan help it! Aside from these basic privileges, beingan Avengers branch team grants playercharacters special United Nations status,a state-of-the-art headquarters, and use ofAvengers technology. Tony Stark, ReedRichards, and King T’Challa of Wakandaprovide all Avengers with cutting-edgevehicles, weaponry, and more.

United Nations StatusAll members of the Avengers have aspecial status as a peace-keeping agentof the United Nations. They have theauthority to operate as deputized lawenforcement officials in any country ofEarth with the express permission of thatnation's government. United Nationsmember nations can choose to reject theaid of the Avengers, but currently, the onlynation to reject the Avengers has beenDemonica.

This special United Nations status alsoprovides a limited diplomatic immunity forheroes operating in Avengers capacity.This most often applies to violations ofaircraft regulations, the use ofsuperhuman force in the arrest andcapture of criminals, and the usual resultsof any battles such as property damageand personal injury of combatants andbystanders. Avengers can command assistance fromlocal authorities on an emergency basis,and Avengers priority provides themsupport from any government or publicemployee. These powers best serve theheroes in the course of major mayhem,allowing them to take command of on-siteforces and handle the source of theproblem while local officials handle crowdcontrol. United Nations status grants an Avengera high-level security clearance for accessto high-security government buildings,data, classified information, andgovernment officials. Liaison officers arecurrently established between theAvengers and a number of governmentsand world-wide power groups such as theFBI (Agent Derek Freeman), Interpol (nocontact yet established), S.H.I.E.L.D.(Nicholas Fury), United Nations (DeviBannerjee), United States (RaymondSikorsky, NSC; Presidential access byChairbeing only), and Wakanda (KingT'Challa).

TechnologyThe Avengers count some of the greatestminds alive in the world today as membersand thus the team has instant access tothe latest technologies developed on Earthor elsewhere! Much of their technology islocated in their headquarters. Everybranch is provided with its own base. Forinformation about branch teamheadquarters construction, see AppendixOne of this book. Details of the New YorkHQ are shown on a poster map includedin this box.

Most other technologies developed by orfor the Avengers, aside from theirvehicles, costumes, clothing, andcommunicators, is undertaken on a case-by-case basis and is not generallyavailable except when absolutely needed.The following is a list of currentlyaccessible Avengers technology andincludes all appropriate information. Gamestatistics for vehicles are provided onTable B: Avengers Vehicles.

Air Car Mk I: Designed by the Black Knightin conjunction with Wakandan designgroups, this open-top Air Car has asnub nosed body, and flies by meansof five jets. One primary engine ismounted in the rear and four boosterjets are on external side mountings. At18 feet long and 12.5 feet wide withside mounted jets, this Air Car hasseating for four adult-size humans.This Air Car was designed for innercity and local transport to avoidproblems with the use of supersonicQuinjets within New York City. The AirCar is equipped with

Amazing range sensors andcommunications systems, but it is notfurnished with weapons systems. Material Strength: The Air Car isconstructed of Excellent rank,lightweight steel alloys. The open topaffords passengers only Good rankprotection from attacks.

Air Car Mk II: This subsequent Air Cardesign, also by the Black Knight, ismore aerodynamically streamlined. Itsmain body measuring 14.9 feet by 8feet. Three jet assemblies are all rearmounted for more thrust andmaneuverability. They are capable ofgenerating the equivalent thrust of aQuinjet for up to 10 minutes at a time,but its open-air construction makesthis hazardous to occupants. Like its

predecessor, the second generationAir Car is equipped with Amazingrange sensors and communicationssystems but no weapons systems. Material Strength: The Air Car Mk II isconstructed of Excellent rank,lightweight steel alloys. The open topaffords passengers only Good rankprotection from attacks. Availability: The first operable model ofthe Mk II was sabotaged and crashedin midtown New York. It was totallydestroyed by Raza's attemptedassassination of the Black Knight.There have since been two modelsconstructed and on hand in the NewYork headquarters.

Avengers Jacket: Made of a syntheticmaterial with the appearance ofleather, these jackets are now astandard accessory for manyAvengers. Despite their simpleappearance and casual wear, thesejackets hold more than expected. • Body Armor: The material, thinnerand more supple than Kevlar, is nearlybullet-proof and provides Goodprotection vs. physical attacks andTypical protection vs. energy attacks.• Tracking Beacon: The red "A"shoulder patch on the jackets containscircuitry for an Amazing range beaconthat can be traced from any Avengersbase to locate team members.• Temperature Resistance: Thematerial has a microcircuitry weavethat generates heat or cold, affordingthe wearer Good rank protection fromsuch temperature attacks or climes. Material Strength: The jackets aremade of Excellent strength material. Availability: Jackets can be tailor-madefor any member of the Avengers.

Bio-Analyzer: Standard equipment for anyheadquarters, this machine (in hand-held models or a wide-range sensorarray) performs the following: • Detection: The bio-analyzer candetect the presence of mutants,shape-changers, and aliens of anyrace known to the Avengers withIncredible ability and range (11 areas).

Material Strength: Hand-held units aremade of Excellent strength materials.Larger, built-in sensor arrays are thesame material strength as the wallinstallation (minimum of Excellent).Availability: One Bio-analyzer is kepton hand in both the Avengers L.A.compound and the New York HQ.

Communicard: Every Avenger carries aCommunicard, an Avengers ID cardwith microcircuitry that allows:• Communications: Avengers cancommunicate visually through a smallscreen on their cards. The screennormally shows a photo of the Avengerwho carries it. The card beeps like apager when called. The range forcommunications is 5,000 miles (Class1000 range), though signals can beboosted by central communications atAvengers HQ for a range of 1,000,000miles (Class 5000).• Computer Terminal: A keypadallows numerical code access to anyAvengers computers within range.• HQ Access: The cards aremagnetically encoded to open allentrances at any Avengers bases.• Resource Card: The card alsoacts as a bank card for access to aspecial Avengers contingency account.Material Strength: Cards areconstructed of Remarkable strengthmaterial and are fully waterproofed.Availability: All Active and Reservemembers have cards. InactiveReservists have cards on a limitedbasis, based on their reliability to theteam and their locations.

Quinjet: The Quinjet is the standard modeof transportation for the Avengers.

Material Strength: Quinjets arenormally made of Excellent strengthmaterials.Availability: Each team has twooperating Quinjets at any given time.Parts are always available for theconstruction of another, or to repair

a damaged Quinjet. These jets aremade by Stark Industries, but only aChairbeing or the Chief Executive isauthorized to order these for a team.

Skycycle: Originally constructed forHawkeye, the skycycle has becomestandard equipment for Avengers onsolo missions. Its size makes it moreuseful for clandestine missions since itis more easily hidden and harder totrack than a large Quinjet. Just like theQuinjets, Communicards are used tooperate the skycycles. The cards areactually used as ignition keys, thoughthere is no voice activation of theskycycle, only manual control. Twoskycycles can be transported by aQuinjet if the seats are removed toexpand cargo space. Skycycles haveAmazing rank and range sensors andradio systems.Material Strength: Skycycles are madeof Excellent strength materials, thoughthey give only Good protection to theirpassengers.Availability: Skycycles are now built byStark Industries after they purchasedthe design from Jorge Latham.

Inter-Team CoordinationThough each branch team of theAvengers has autonomy within theboundaries of their appointed protectorate,no team is considered superior to anyother Avengers team. In essence, with therecent changes to the Charter, theAvengers are all one team. With the Avengers as one unified force,each Avengers team can call on otherteam members whose specific talentsmight help. Call Hank Pym when you needa biochemist, or talk to Iron Man or theBlack Panther when trying to comprehendthe workings of some alien device. Alwayskeep in mind that player characters inneed of aid can call on their fellowAvengers in times of need. That's whatthey're for! Player character teams will have toappoint their own reserve substitutes oncetheir Avengers statue is cleared. Anyempty reserve or active slots in themembership can be appointed by theChief Executive. During the initialestablishment of a new branch, it might beuseful for the player characters to be ableto learn from a veteran. The ChiefExecutive (the Judge, of course) canassign any Reservist to detached dutywith the new team for a preliminary perioduntil such time that they are Avengers inevery sense of the word! Good luck, players and Judges. Yourcharacters are joining the ranks of theworld's mightiest heroes. Be prepared fornothing but great action and adventure inyour Avengers game campaigns! Are youprepared to enter the MARVELUNIVERSE and protect New York fromthe Masters of Evil? Then turn the pageand be ready for the cry of "AVENGERSASSEMBLE!"

There is always a need and a time forheroes, regardless of their location, thecolor of their costumes, or the notoriety oftheir exploits. And that time has nowarrived for the heroes of any Judge'scampaign. These adventures are writtento establish a team of player characterheroes as members of the Avengers.Players and the Judge alike canexperience a new Avengers legend in themaking. If you use established Marvelheroes in your games, you can still playthese adventures and save the world fromdisaster. Prepare your characters for theclarion cry of "Avengers Assemble!”

Adventure OpportunitiesThe Judge is presented with bothCampaign Timelines and an AdventureTimeline spanning a number of months’ ordays' events that happen on mapsprovided in this sourcebox or in theMARVEL SUPER HEROES Basic Set. Infact, the street map located in thissourcebox fits together with Basic Set map(match the upper left corner to the lowerright corner of the Basic map to fit). The timelines allow the Judge andplayers to see a whole months' or a wholedays' events and adventure possibilities atonce, not just the scope of the current plot.All the clues and events of at least twoadventures are in place, and it's simply upto the heroes to be in the right place at theright time (as well as deduce what all theevents truly mean) for them to participate. Within this sourcebox, there are also twomajor Adventure Plotlines designed todirectly involve the heroes, and two minorAdventure Plotlines that the heroes canuncover as well. The major points are fullydelineated in terms of scope andramifications. The Judge effectively has acopy of the villain's handbooks and plans.Potential Karma awards are listed for bothsides, yes, villains can actually gain theirnegative Karma points within the scope of

These timelines allows and players to use theirboxes for extended periods ofplay. Campaign timelines can alsoe minor links with all MARVELR HEROES game sourceboxes, Judges use recurring charactersots to provide a greater sense ofworld continuity and campaignre. The Marvel Universe comesn your gaming table!

Adventure TimelinesHere's where it all happens. Any and allmajor events are listed chronologically inthe Adventure Timeline and it's up to theheroes to be ready for them. The Judgeshould read through each day thoroughlyand decide how many or how few actionswill definitely be happening and prepare tohave a number of things active at once. Ifthe heroes are fighting the U-Foes onRegency Street, that won't stop a planefrom crashing in the center of the city. Itmeans they have to decide which actionscome first and how best to serve thepublic. Each day listed on the timeline is dividedinto four sections: Setting, Heroes,Villains, and Action. All the sections areinterwoven with various plots, but eachhas specific goals and actions that occurregardless of any other happenings. Forexample, Roger Blake has to rob the 1stNational Bank on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.Unfortunately for him, Spider Woman hasan appointment with an investment bankerat that time and stands a good chance offouling his robbery attempt.

Setting: This section describes minor orinactive changes to the surroundings andminor bits of action. Unlike the Actionsection, all of the setting notes and eventsare not dangerous in and of themselves.They simply offer more backgrounddetails. For instance, if there was a battleon Jefferson Street on Tuesday, thereshould still be some damage onWednesday (even if Damage Control wascalled in!). This section also has notes onminor physical changes to the city such asBuilding A set for demolition, road crewsat work at these areas (closed to normaltraffic, etc.), or noting the times whentraffic copters are flying over the areas.Setting notes also describe weather andits physical effects on the city and theheroes.

Heroes: These incidents present actionpossibilities for the player characters toinvestigate at any given time. Many ofthem are mandatory and Karma penaltiesare the result of missing any necessaryactions. At least one action given per daywill have ties to the major plot or plots.Often, there will also be mention of otherNPC heroes and their actions (allies aren'thard to find).

Villains: These menacing scenarios areall planned by their respective participantsbut many are often tentative. There is nostealing armored cars escorted by Thorunless you have the power to deal withhim. All the villains have the potential formuch chaos and destruction and that'swhat the heroes must stop. Only theprimary plot clues and actions are alwaysgoing to happen. Action: These are all the other randomevents that take place every day in thecity, or whatever setting the Judge haschosen, from car accidents to poweroutages to monsters rampaging throughtown. These actions will add the realism ofa world existing outside the plotlines andgive the Judge a wider variety of scenariosand situations to work into his or herimmediate adventure.

Avengers Assemble!For these game scenarios, the Judgeshould have the campaign's pre-existingheroes recruited by the Avengers asReserve members. In the Judge's gameworld, the Avengers and the UnitedNations have made a concerted effort topool all superhuman resources as muchas possible under the Avengers. Thismakes it easier to mobilize the forcesnecessary to repel another Atlanteaninvasion, or to halt the encroachment ofalien forces onto Earth. If players are,therefore, using their own characters,move on to That's The Why It Is... and

begin your own adventures as Avengers. If the Judge's game is currently usingestablished Marvel heroes, the world is ina crisis. All of the active members of theAvengers teams are missing, as are manyof the established Reservists. If playersare using any of these characters, theJudge must explain that they havedisappeared into thin air, some in front ofhundreds of witnesses! Any non-Avengerscan join in this emergency situation, butonly four previous members of theAvengers are reachable on Earth whenthe call to assemble goes out. Unlessother heroes answer the call, the sixheroes assembled as Avengers are Ant-Man, Dr. Pym (leader), Firebird, GiantMan, Hellcat, and the Wasp. For seven oreight heroes, add Rage and Red Wolf tothe team. Once this team, or some variantof it (at least one member must be fromthe above list), is established, move on tothe next section.

That's The Way It Is...Over the past few days, some mysteriousforce has been plucking Avengers out ofthin air and abducting them to partsunknown. The Avengers' ranks are guttedand they are the only heroes to answerthe call. As Earth's primacy defenders, it will bethe job of the player character Avengers torespond to threats to world security asdemanded by the United Nations and bynecessity. Despite the locations of thevaried heroes, the call to assemblebrought them all to the Avengers' centralheadquarters in New York City. Locationswithin the continental United States can bereached within two hours by Quinjet,though the majority of the action occurswithin minutes of Avengers HQ.Temporary Quarters will be established formembers in New York if needed, and theteam will constantly be on call. Dr. Pymwill be spending time to locate the missingteam members, but his efforts will befruitless until the heroes are returned bythe Grandmaster. Any pre-existing storylines and plotswithin a Judge's game campaign shouldbe interwoven into the heroes' requiredactions on the timelines. Though theheroes have been called in to serve as theprimary Avengers team, their normal livesdo not stop and any sub-plots andsituations of potential Karma gain or loss(such as meeting one's girlfriend or dotingaunt for dinner or fulfilling a charityappearance) must be addressed. Theheroes' lives have not changed except thatthey now have the added responsibilitiesof being Avengers. Campaign Timeline I provides Judgeswith basic setup information for manycharacters in the New York City of theMarvel Universe. The information can alsobe planted into newspapers and othermedia to be given to the player characterswhen the adventures officially start(Adventure Timelines date of December27). After following the

Adventure Timeline, Campaign Timeline IIcovers a four-month timespan, givingfollow-up information on the adventures aswell as news to use as hooks for futureadventures. It is strongly suggested that the Judgeread through all the material in thisadventure section before actually playing.There are many activities occurring atonce, and the better acquainted the Judgeis with the material, the smoother thegame will run. Good luck. Avengers!

Avengers M.I.A.For the Judge's information, the missingAvengers have gone somewhere and witha purpose, though not one of their ownchoosing. The Grandmaster has accepteda challenge from one of the Avengers'greatest foes, Loki! The game is to settle awager of the Judge's choice. The twovillains chose the Avengers as suitableagents to play their game. Unfortunately,the varied members of the Avengers havefit the bill as pawns in the game. TheAvengers are placed on a generic worldwith the express purpose of fighting theircomrades. If they refuse to cooperate, thenatives of that world will be slaughtered.The heroes are to collect the componentsfor some universal device (of the Judge'smaking) that is the prize for either Loki orthe Grandmaster. When the game iscompleted, the heroes will be returned toEarth after one week of game time (oranother length of time as determined bythe Judge), their memories of the contesterased. If the players wish to play outthese scenarios, the Judge can use all ofthe 40 missing heroes in planetarymissions of his or her own design. Themissions should involve the search for thefive pieces of the cosmic gadget toconstruct and also involve fighting theircomrades. These tournaments are meantmore to test the mettle of the pawns. Thegame is what's important, not the result.Good gaming!

CluesWithin the timeline, there are a number ofinstances where heroes can stumbleacross small pieces of a plot and, with alittle detective work, uncover the plans ofthe villains. With all the happenings on thetimelines, there isn't enough room toprovide individual clues for each potential. The following are some of the villainsinvolved in the primary adventure plots,complete with general clues that mightprovide hints for the player characterAvengers. The clues mentioned are oftenside-effects of power use, and go beyondthe standard destruction left in the wake ofany supervillain. If no clue is listed for aspecific villain, player characters must relyon eyewitness identification of the villains.Directly following the clues section are anumber of combat tactics usable for manyvillains or heroes.

Beetle: The Beetle can be tracked via hismicrowave power generator. It disruptsradio and television signals as well ascertain other frequencies.

Grey Gargoyle: Duval has picked up anabsent-minded habit of flipping coins whenhe is nervous. Given the nature of hispower, look for out-of-the-ordinary stoneitems like quarters or small objects likeballs that have been turned to stone.

Klaw: Klaw, being composed of solidsound, unconsciously emits highfrequency sound waves beyond the rangeof human hearing when he moves. Cluesleft behind by Klaw include crackedwindows and fragile items, irritated andbarking dogs and other animals who canhear his sonic emissions, or faulty non-visual security sensors. If sonics are usedto detect movement by sensors, Klaw mayconfuse the machine and interfere with itsproper functioning.

Moonstone: Background traces of aunique radiation can be found within twohours of her leaving an area if usingRemarkable rank or batter radiationsensors. If sensors are used to track, theycan follow Moonstone unless she is in thecompany of Chen Lu (see RadioactiveMan). The largest concentration ofMoonstone's radiation is found in the BlueArea of the Moon.

Quicksand: When Quicksand walks, sheeasily scrapes polished floors and oftenleaves a tiny amount of residual sandbehind. Paint may be stripped off objectsfrom the use of her sand powers.

Radioactive Man: Chen Lu constantlyemits low level radiation that is kept incheck by his energy harness. Currently,the harness is in need of repair and islosing small amounts of the Cadmiumfibers woven into it that can be found. Thefibers, in addition to the traces of spectrumradiation found on site, serve to show thepresence of the Radioactive Man for up to12 hours after his passing.

Super-Adaptoid: The only flaw in theSuper-Adaptoid's new Captain Marvelconfiguration is that he wears the Nega-Bands on his wrists, despite their theft anddestruction by the Shi'ar. If confronted withthis, the Adaptoid must make a YellowReason FEAT roll to provide anexplanation (bracelets that provide himwith the energy that animates him now oranother of the Judge's choice) or else he'lldrop his cover and attack his foes, lookingto incapacitate, not to kill.

Whirlwind: His most obvious clue is thepattern of destruction. Debris tends to beswirled into circular formations from hisspinning and his cyclone winds. Also, hisminiature buzz-saw blades can be foundembedded in wrecked walls if heencountered resistance.

Teamwork and Combat TacticsThe following are basic tactics used by thevillains (and heroes) as a team, an aspectof fighting often forgotten. The tactics lookat double-teaming opponents, massdestruction, pre-planned escapes, andbreaking and entering.

Double-teaming• Fastball specials work when a strong

character throws another hand-to-hand fighter at his target (Goliaththrowing Tiger Shark or Titaniathrowing the Grey Gargoyle).

• Cover ground-based heroes, with twoor more fliers, with distance weapons,catching (tem in multiple crossfires(Moonstone and Laser blasting atheroes simultaneously or blasting anairborne figure from both skies).

Mass Destruction• An airdrop of invulnerable allies

wreaks maximum destruction (Beetleairdrops Goliath at human size and hegrows as he drops for a wider impactradius).

• Shock waves radiating from twoopposing powerful forces (Goliath'sclap, Absorbing Man's ball vs. Thor'shammer, etc.).

Escape Tactic• Blinding opponents for a round or two

to escape (Living Laser or Sunstrokeblinds everyone while villains split offin different directions).

Breaking and Entering• Utilizing Avengers HQ skylight,

Radioactive Man releases a potentradiation pulse to temporarilyscramble scanners and sensors.Living Laser and Moonstone blastopenings in the roof and phasethrough the skylight, hitting all securityweapons at light speed. Once inplace, they seal the metal doors withlasers.

Adventure Plotlines

Plotline One: Island Raiders With his recent escape from a Vaulttransport, Dr. Chen Lu, the RadioactiveMan, has been in hiding for a month.During that time, he has assembled hisown Masters of Evil team, seeing it as hisright, since he is the sole remainingmember of the original Masters of Evil.Klaw and Moonstone escaped with him,and they later collect Sunstroke's, theLiving Laser's, and the Beetle's armorfrom Project Pegasus. Goliath and TigerShark are recruited and the two of thembreak Abner Jenkins out of Ryker's Islandprison. Chen Lu's plan for his Masters of Evil isto strike back at the Avengers slowly,taking things from them bit by bit. Afterstealing much of their own technologyfrom the Avengers, including a space-worthy Quinjet, Lu's team can go to theMoon. Radioactive Man has heard storiesof the Blue Area and the abandoned aliencity there, and he wants to plunder it foralien technology. With all the technologyof the Avengers and an alien culture, hisMasters of Evil would be unstoppable! For the most part, Chen Lu's team wascomposed by necessity and the allies hefound closest to him Klaw, Moonstone,and Tiger Shark were his first recruits.From there, he freed allies from ProjectPegasus and set his plan into motion. WithKlaw and Tiger Shark working underwater,they cut away much of the decimatedwreckage of Hydro Base and salvagesome forgotten technology, as well asone-fifth of the island itself. Moonstone contracts the Wizard toconstruct some lifting disks for theMasters. For $12,000,000, he creates 256-inch-wide disks, each generating ananti-gravity field of Amazing strength.Tiger Shark later places the flying disks onthe submerged island. The RadioactiveMan plans to float the island

over midtown and Avengers Mansion (andthreatens to drop it!), using it as a lastresort bargaining chip to gain thecoordinates of the Blue Area of the Moonand some missing pieces for the Quinjet. On the day of the infiltration of theAvengers HQ, Klaw, Gofiath, the Beetle,Tiger Shark, and Sunstroke, and perhapsRampage, are to rampage throughmidtown and distract the Avengers whileChen Lu, Moonstone, and the Laser enterthe headquarters. The island fragment isfully cloaked and invisible to radar and thenaked eye, but if heroes show up tooppose them, the villains drop the cloakand show the island hovering over theirheads. If any heroes are on hand, ChenLu threatens to let the island fall. If noheroes are nearby to stop them, thevillains enter HQ in two minutes and movequickly to the communications complex tosteal data from the Avengers' computers.Once the information is available, they setup a link to their own computers anddownload every scrap of data to theircomputers. They write down separatelythe coordinates of the Blue Area. Theythen plan to go to the hangar, steal aQuinjet, and flee over the harbor and outto sea. They expect to bring the islandwith them by remote control and go to theMoon within an hour after that.

Plotline Two: Zemo's FuryAfter hearing of the New Masters of Evil,Baron Zemo angrily summons his ownallies to attack those who dared usurp thelegacy of his father. Zemo brings togetherthe Absorbing Man, Grey Gargoyle,Quicksand, Titania, and Whirlwind. Underhis direct technological control are theDragon Man and the Super-Adaptoid aswell. The Adaptoid is disguised as CaptainMarvel I (using the powers of Spider Man,Daredevil, and Will O' The Wisp) toconfuse the Avengers and the otherMasters of Evil, allowing Zemo to have theupper hand.

Baron Zemo discovers Dr. Lu's plans forAvengers island and pays the Wizard tobetray Radioactive Man. The Baronreceives a transmitter that grants himcontrol of the anti-gravity discs. He alsosets up Rampage for a fall, anonymouslyposing as a black market buyer of artifactsto lure him to steal items. The Baron thennotifies the Avengers of the thief. All this isdone to confuse the Radioactive Man, whowanted Rampage as a final operative. Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil are kept inreserve until needed. Then, Baron Zemoand his team arrive to "save my noble foesfrom such ignominious defeat at the handsof such mongrel traitors! They who daredusurp the legacy of my father and myselfshall pay in blood for such perfidy!" Thetwo villain teams clash, with the heroessaved by their former allies. Zemo thenplans to escape with the island and itsresources before any Avengers canpursue them. He has promised his alliesthat he can break them out of jail if they'recaptured. Otherwise they are to scatterand will be contacted later to regroup

Notes: Super Adaptoid"Captain Marvel I" aka the Super-Adaptoidis primarily used to keep everyone offbalance and to gain information about theBaron's foes. If the Avengers seek to stopthe Baron and his allies from escapinglater, the Super-Adaptoid will be used atits fullest to keep them from capturing theBaron. In Marvel Comics, the Super-Adaptoid ismissing, stolen from the sunken AvengersIsland by parties unknown. In this gameuniverse, the Adaptoid was taken by Dr.Doom and repaired in Latveria. He is nowenergized by the Power Cosmic Generatorafter some internal modifications whichslightly altered his powers. His originalpower source of a Cosmic Cube sliver wasremoved by Kubik. The Super-Adaptoid

now has full control of its coloration, anddoes not automatically revert to kellygreen when two or more powers areadded. He still cannot use more than onebeing's abilities at once, though he rarelyneeds to do so. As "Captain Marvel I," heuses Will O' The Wisp's sparkling flighttrail and power emissions, Spider-Man'sstrength and spider-sense, andDaredevil's radar-senses at individualtimes to simulate Marvel I's strength, flight,energy blasts, and his cosmic awareness. Doom restored the Adaptoid with limitedprogramming to lead it to Zemo. Unknownto both the Adaptoid and Baron Zemo, theSuper-Adaptoid was now programmed totransmit information back to Doom at alltimes. It serves Doom's purposes to allowa predictable enemy like the young Zemoto have control over a powerful toy for themoment. Doom planned an eventualattack against the Fantastic Four andneeds the Avengers to be occupied with abattle against the Masters. Besides, withthe Adaptoid as a free agent, and Doomable to recall the robot via implantedhoming circuitry, he has a great way toinconspicuously learn about the otherheroes.

Plotline Three: Magic in the ParkAlerted to magic afoot in the park by Dr.Strange, the Avengers can help to seal adimensional rift. There is a two-area-diameter dimensional warp at the center ofthe park that is releasing three impishcreatures each round. They are called theG'haarak and have the followingcapabilities:

Well, now that your player characters arepart of the illustrious Avengers, they haveneed of a headquarters! As Avengers,your characters now have funding fromthe Maria Stark Foundation, a trust fund oIncredible rank resources. This fund,independent of other Stark holdings,provides the resources needed to keepthe Avengers and their equipmentfunctioning. With the establishment of anew branch team within the Judge's gamecampaign universe, it is time to have theteam's official Avengers branchheadquarters. For new player characters,or those without a base, read Location isEverything and begin piecing together thenext Avengers HQ! While doing so,players create the map of the base, sincethey, not the Judge, are outfitting it to theircharacters' needs. If a base has already been establishedwithin the Judge's campaign that suits thelocation limitations within the By-Laws, itcan be upgraded to have morecompatibility with the Avengers' systems.Internal upgrades tend to be in the areasof computers (information processing andretrieval), communication systems, andlaboratories. External upgrades concernsecurity systems and reinforcement of thepre-existing structures.

minimum monitoring equipmentdemanded by the UNSC. The rest of theheadquarters needs to be financed by theheroes themselves for their initialprobationary period. Table C (page 64)shows the basic structures that a team offour to eight heroes could use as aheadquarters, assuming the basics ofspace for living quarters and equipmentand storage.

Under ConstructionNo matter how you find your prospectiveheadquarters, unless you've appropriatedan abandoned alien base or the home of

HOME FOR THE HEROES

HOME FOR THE HEROES

f

Location is Everything!When establishing a base forsuperheroes, it is required that aheadquarters must be a meeting placeaccessible by other heroes and (to alimited extent) the public, and it mustprovide a solid defense against thevarious foes of the heroes. These thingsare immediately contingent on the locationand function of the base. The building itself, as the initialconsideration for a headquarters, must belarge enough to contain all the necessaryAvengers equipment as well as rooms forliving quarters, if so desired. The buildingshould also be defendable againstintruders. An Amazing rank securitysystem will protect your HQ, but a goodisolated location (like the Avengers WestCompound) allows for easy defense withless cost.

BuildingWhile many independent heroes operatefrom their homes (like Daredevil and theFantastic Four), most heroes and herogroups work out of a separateheadquarters. The first thing to consider isthe building itself, its size, and itsstructural strength. The Stark Foundationprovides for the financing and purchase ofa building, the surrounding grounds, andthe

your arch-enemy, your team of heroes willhave to modify it for their needs.Modifications tend to involve strengtheningthe structure to withstand the rigors ofconstant superhuman traffic, updating andenhancing existing communications andsecurity setups and custom-fitting livingquarters to the needs and wants ofindividual heroes. Table D (page 64) andits notes explain the major outfittingchanges that are needed to make anybuilding a superheroes' headquarters. TheUNSC will allow the new Avengers toutilize any stockpiled equipment salvagedfrom the sunken Avengers island at alower price. If the Judge chooses to allowany equipment on Table D to be amongthis salvage, reduce the Resource cost byone rank, and keep in mind that some ofthis may be in need of repair.

Support Your Local AvengersLast, but not least, the Avengers havecome to understand a need for supportstaff to aid them in the smooth operationof their facilities as well as maintaininginter-team communications, the repairingof team equipment, and the like.
