The trouble with statting heroes like Daredevil, Batman, and Captain America is that they are mundane, unaugmented humans in a world that works completely differently than Shadowrun. True enough. That's why I would just try and stat things along the lines of what the characters are purported to have rather than what they often demonstrably are. I mean, let's face it: even internally there's a bit of a disconnect between shadowrun skill rating fluff and what having a 6 can actually let you do, so I see this as mostly a fluff exercise. Then there's the whole bit where super heroes are powered by plot and by popularity, with their capabilities often varying based on what author has handled them most recently. It's to the point where people have started mutating pro wrestling terms-- for example, Wolverine, Batman and Captain America are often referred to as having "Jobber Auras." It doesn't matter how stupidly powerful their opponent is. They get to win because they're the guy on the covers of flagship titles, so even super powerful foes end up uncharacteristically vulnerable somehow. For example, Cap has managed to hang with Thor in a few comics, which is basically taking a big ol' dump on everything that's ever been written in an actual The Mighty Thor comic. |

What shadowrun player hasn't made at least 1 wolverine clone? Me, i like x-23 more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) And yeah i have to agree that statting many super heroes gets really hard in SR, there just no realistic stats you can give to guys and galls that can beat up gods in a straight up fight. |

Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes. Remarkably accurate and boring to play. All he does is slice things up and draw attention.
