In a mid-to-late 80s Hawkman-themed mini, it was confirmed that the Gentleman was indeed a ghost. I was disappointed, too!<BR/><BR/>And k26dp, I like your interpretation of the Ghost, especially the high Defense and the staggered Phasing so he can make those getaways when he's been tagged.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1139969117127090522006-02-14T21:05:00.000-05:002006-02-14T21:05:00.000-05:00Oh, I disagree.

I find for characters like this, the rigidity of the power dial becomes a hindrance.<BR/><BR/>I think I would do a really, really short dial, maybe four clicks only, but have ridiculously high defense -- I'm thinking 20, 19, 19, 18 -- with Phasing on clicks one and four and Stealth on two and three. I'd give him Willpower and Perplex for all four clicks. A short ranged attack for his pistol. I like the Injustice League TA, mostly so you can use the new alternate TA feat so you could potentially avoid Outwit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1139960467533406982006-02-14T18:41:00.000-05:002006-02-14T18:41:00.000-05:00Maybe it's the cranky fangirl in me, but I remembe...Maybe it's the cranky fangirl in me, but I remember rewading GG as a kid and loving how I couldn't figure out of he was a ghost or a fake. Batman couldn't figure it out and that just made it delicious. It was a mystery and maybe, just maybe, it would never be solved. When I read modern appearances of the Ghost and it was pretty clear the guy was supernatural, I was dissapointed and cranky.<BR/><BR/>Of course nowadays when people do that like in Twin Peaks or Lost, I just assume the writer is dragging the mystery out.Shon Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17575804400275943927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1139938714307994922006-02-14T12:38:00.000-05:002006-02-14T12:38:00.000-05:00I LOVE the Gentleman Ghost, especially his three r...I LOVE the Gentleman Ghost, especially his three run-ins with Batman.
