Gren!  It's awesome to "see" you, man!  How are you doing?  Other than the troubles with AI, I'm doing grand in general. 

Thanks, guys.  Yeah, it's pretty crazy.  We've got an entire generation of students who are desperate to cheat their way out of actually receiving an education, and many of them are succeeding.  It makes me quite worried about the future.  Bearded, one of my colleagues has done that.  It's basically the only way to be sure.  I've resisted it so far because that eliminates the chance for the deeper learning that happens pretty much only through writing and reflection, but I may have to make the same kind of move.  It's absurd.  Our detection tools are very imperfect, so I often spend an hour or two, or even more, investigating possible AI instances.  I think fully a quarter of my composition students this last semester used AI to cheat in one way or another.

Hero File: RICK JONES
------------------------------------------------------------

Spoiler

Rick Jones is one of the most important civilian figures in Marvel history, acting as a catalyst for the creation and evolution of several iconic heroes. He was present at the gamma bomb test that transformed Bruce Banner into the Hulk, becoming Banner's closest confidant and one of the few people able to calm him during his earliest rampages. Over the years, Rick bonded with Captain Marvel through the Nega-Bands, served as a liaison to the Avengers, and was repeatedly exposed to dangerous energies beyond human limits. During the events of World War Hulk, Rick Jones attempted to calm the Hulk after his return from exile on Sakaar, reminding him of who he was and the heroes he once stood beside. Although briefly successful, Rick was gravely wounded when Miek stabbed him moments after Bruce Banner reverted from the Hulk. Critically injured, Rick was transported to the original gamma bomb test site. There, members of the Intelligencia—MODOK and the Leader—intervened, subjecting him to forced gamma experimentation. The process transformed Rick into A-Bomb, a powerful but unstable gamma being physically reminiscent of the Abomination. Rick Jones was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, first appearing in The Incredible Hulk #1 (1962).

GENERAL INFORMATION

MESH: clint           SKIN: standard             MATERIAL: Flesh             HEIGHT: 5,9           WEIGHT (lbs): 170             AI: Custom (M25)             VOICE: LL

STATS

Strength: Speed: Agility: Endurance: Energy:

3 – Normal 4 – Fast 3 – Normal 3 – Normal 4 – Powerful

ATTRIBUTES

Rick Jones is not a frontline combatant. His attributes emphasize mental resilience and the unstable gamma energies within him. In gameplay, Rick relies on positioning, control, and survival instincts, with his true danger emerging only when he loses control.

a) Disciplined:

Rick has spent years surviving alongside superhumans and world-ending threats. This experience grants him exceptional emotional control, reducing the effects of panic and mental disruption during combat situations.

b) Accidental Change (A-Bomb):

Rick's body contains unstable gamma energy. Under extreme stress or by deliberate activation, this energy can trigger a catastrophic transformation into A-Bomb. This change may occur automatically in life-threatening situations or be manually forced, replacing Rick with a separate A-Bomb hero file for a limited duration.

POWERS

Rick Jones' abilities are grounded and tactical. He avoids direct confrontation, using basic self-defense and short-range control techniques. His most dangerous ability is not an attack, but the release of the gamma force contained within him.

a) Martial Arts (Melee): Rick uses basic hand-to-hand techniques to defend himself when cornered. Damage Type: Crushing Magnitude: Low Energy Point Cost: None Stun: Low Knockback: None Swiftness: Normal Arc: 0° Level: 3 Animation Name: melee Attached FX Name: theant_punch
b) Takedown Throw (Melee – Control): Rick performs a short-range takedown, using leverage and momentum to throw an opponent to the ground and briefly neutralize the threat. Damage Type: Decrease (Throw State Swap) Magnitude: Medium Energy Point Cost: Low Stun: None Knockback: None Swiftness: Normal Arc: 0° Level: 3 Animation Name: melee Attached FX Name: grab_melee_r
c) A-Bomb (Special): Rick deliberately releases the unstable gamma energy within his body, triggering a violent transformation. Rick Jones is removed from play and replaced by A-Bomb for a limited time before forcibly reverting back. Special Type: Blind Justice (Accidental Change State Swap) Energy Point Cost: Medium Duration: 60 seconds Level: 3 Animation Name: direct Attached FX Name: dejavu_cloneself

DESIGN NOTES
------------------------------------------------------------

• Rick Jones is intentionally fragile and lacks any active or passive defenses. 
• His gameplay focuses on survival, positioning, and short-range control. 
• A-Bomb is implemented as a separate hero file and always reverts to Rick after 60 seconds, regardless of combat state. 
• Accidental Change functions as a mixed mechanic: emergency-triggered and player-controlled.

So there is no way to assign a stun state swap to a single power and have standard stun chances to the rest of the powers?

I just read a twitter about a teacher who doesn't give homework anymore. He makes the kids do all the work in his classroom. He said solid A's turned into B's and C's.
