Clear away the cobwebs of history because today, we’re opening the book on one of the greatest superheroes of our generation, and wow did Captain America get a glow up!
Welcome to this edition of “From Panel to Play,” where we dive deep into the world of Captain America, our very own First Avenger!
The Journey of Steve Rogers
From the streets of New York, a lanky youngster named Steve Rogers emerged with an unparalleled sense of bravery. Even though his physical stature did not match up with his gigantic heart, today, he stands as the epitome of the word “superhero.” Muscled, determined, and always guided by his magnetic moral compass.
From World War II to the Modern World
The superhero journey for Captain America began in the ranks of the United States Military. After going MIA towards the end of World War II, the world believed they’d lost a hero. But decades later, the world was in for a surprise. Found in suspended animation, Steve was revived into an era that was worlds apart from what he knew. But, true to his nature, he found his footing and emerged as not just a team member but the guiding light of the superhero world, leading the Avengers to greatness.
Captain America in Play
Captain America’s stats make him a force to be reckoned with. As the First Avenger, he showcases an aggressive portrayal of Steve Rogers with impressive defense statistics and stamina. But what really stands out is his dynamic arsenal of attacks.
- Shield Bounce: A Range 3, Strength 5 attack. Remarkably, this doesn’t consume any Power. The unique feature here is the potential to Bounce on rolling a Wild and Hit, allowing a secondary Shield Bounce against another opponent within range.
- Brooklyn Brawler: This moniker pays homage to Steve’s early days. Although it consumes 4 Power, it provides exceptional benefits, especially when considering the dice bonuses against larger targets. The push rule and the Frontliner rule make it a multifaceted attack.
Tactical Prowess and Superpowers
Steve’s leadership qualities shine through in his “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes” leadership ability, guiding allies in maximizing their attack outcomes.
A couple of superpowers to highlight:
- Charge: An active superpower that depicts his readiness to leap into action. For a mere 2 Power, Captain America can make a move followed by an attack action.
- Perfect Block: A reactive superpower, it epitomizes the essence of Captain America with his iconic shield. For 2 Power, he can bolster his defense roll against any attack.
Finally, a special mention to the superpower that defines his unwavering spirit, “I Can Do This All Day.” Exclusively available on his Injured side, it allows him to count even Blanks as successes in defense rolls.
In a world filled with superheroes, Captain America stands tall, embodying the very virtues we cherish. His resilience, bravery, and unwavering willpower ensure he will always rise, even against the most daunting odds. Here’s to the First Avenger, a beacon of hope in the world of heroes!
