Will there be heroes that have no powers whatsoever and use nothing but guns and/or gadgets?

Does this game allow you to create your own heroes/villians or do just get to use characters that are already in the rules/army list?

Definetly... there is arleady a villian Gentlemen who is a gun toting assasin for hire.

As to creating your own Heroes/Villans. Intially there is no construction rules per se. Supremes are designed to be balanced within the mix. In the future who knows... official rules unlikely.

Morf has indicated that there will be character design competitions and has given a bit of insight in other threads regarding the design process. Im sure homegrown design rules will appear for friendly games.

Check out the fan section, Larkin Vain has created a couple of characters on his own.

Gunners:

Gentleman - Pistols or Sniper Rifle

Twilight - Gun and Knives, Teleport Ability

Ace of Wraiths - Pistol wielder with a cursed deck of cards

Gorilla - See that chain gun he is carrying? He is an Ape though.

We need someone or something like The Shadow. I mean, he's like the definitive pulp hero.

agreed.

I LOVE the Shadow . . . . .

Yes, Lemont Cranston really needs to be represented here along with the Man of Bronze, Doc Savage.

Or Darkman...

apparentlty, if ther's a hero that no powers and used nothing but guns and gadgets
they may used as follows:
hero - use sniper rifle
soldiers - use chain guns, grenade, etc
k9 dogs - use its sense of smelling to detect something

Reaper has a really awesome Shadow-like fig in their chronoscope line.
