**** DESIGN NOTES AND COMMENTS
        "AVENGER" advantage: Combines Patron, Legal Enforcement Power, +/-4
Reputations to Citizens/The Underworld, Extremely Hazardous Duty, and the
Avengers Oath (like Hero's Code, but includes Cannot Kill and Sense of Duty:
Aid your fellow Avenger).

         I'm blasted if I can get him down any cheaper than
this. The Attribute assignments are based on direct comparisons of the textual
descriptions of the Marvel Superheroes game attributes and on the GURPS
descriptions, pg. B13. Skill levels were chosen for reasonable efficiency
(buying the H-T-H skills up to 21 for the improved Parry, for instance). My
logic on The Shield and Cap's micromesh chain mail is a little fuzzier... I
decided that in WWII, when the items were made, the Shield was intended
particularly to repel bullet attacks, and the armor was to protect
specifically for hand/melee attacks.  I set the point levels accordingly,
though I expect I can reduce the PD of the shield to 4 in a pinch...      Yes,
I know I could buy the "Damage Resistance" advantage and save a few points
over "Toughness."  But Cap is supposed to be "normal," albeit in the absolute
peak of physical shape... so I stayed with the "normal" advantage.

*** THE SUPER-NORMAL
This is where I really break down... In principal, "Cap" should only be a
300-point-or-so character...yet if he is the Ultimate Human Fighter (as he is
continually described), there's no way he'll fit, given the attribute point
levels he -must- have.  I'd be delighted to hear suggestions from the
GURPSnetters about this.  Meanwhile, where did I leave that copy of Spidey's
character sheet...?
