Howdy guys, I'm wondering what y'all have for the Warriors Three? The Marvel RPG stats for them seem strangely high given what I know about them. Granted, I haven't read tons of their appearances, but I have read several. I've used USAgent's files as a base, but they seem as high as the RPG stats. What do y'all have for them?
i have them at a strength level of 6. volstagg i give a 7. as big as he is he looks like he'd be stronger than his other two buddies.
I also use the Marvel RPG stats as a base. I have their strengths set at a 6. From what I could find, the average Asgardian would have a 5 strength and endurance. Being that these guys are elite Asgardians, it makes sense that they are a level above in regard to abilities and resistance. Even using the the Official Marvel Handbook stats, it shows them all as Strength: Superhuman Class 50 (able to lift 50 tons).
As a Thor fan, and someone who has collected his books for decades, I would agree that they have never been shown to be all that impressive. I think part of the problem is that whenever they have been featured, it is usually while aiding Thor. So, when featured along with Thor, they will, of course, pale in comparison. Add to this, the fact that if Thor actually needs help in defeating an opponent, you can bet that opponent is going to make anyone look unimpressive.
Of course, it always comes down to writing. I mean, one of my peeves with The Siege was that most of the forces involved in conquering Asgard were B and C list villains (I know they were enhanced by the The Hood and the Norn Stones, but still). I mean, your average Asgardian has super hero level power and they were practically born with a weapon in their hand. Tack onto this, the elite gods, (Balder, Heimdall, Tyr, etc.) and I had a hard time swallowing how easily Asgard was taken (Sentry/Void notwithstanding). Anyway, I digress, sorry about that.
Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean Hoss. It's one thing if the Warriors don't seem terribly strong in Asgard, but I have seen a few stories with them coming to Earth...I guess I just can't picture them (except Volstagg) tossing cars around and the like.
Well, taking some liberties, here's what I've got. Please tell me what y'all think:
