Brock Rumlow—Crossbones

Continuing with the trend of publishing characters we probably won't be seeing again anytime soon, let's look at Crossbones. Famous in the comics for killing Captain America, his role in the MCU is slightly different...

Name: Brock Rumlow
Race: Human
Experience: 100 (Legendary)
Power Level: Pulp Hero (15 PP)
Agility d8; Smarts d6; Spirit d8; Strength d10; Vigor d8
Pace 6; Parry 8; Charisma –2; Toughness 14 (6)

Inventory: Battle armor (Armor +6), SIG Sauer (2d6, AP 1, 12/24/48, Semi-Auto, 12 Shots), gas mask, comms unit, bomb vest, magnet grenade (3d6, 5/10/20, MBT, sticks to metal surfaces: roll at –6 to pull off).
Powers:

• Armor +6 (1): Partial Protection (–1). Device (–1, advanced body armor).

Brock Rumlow was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and leader of a STRIKE team, working with Captain America and Black Widow fairly often, including recovering a weapon known as Zodiac and the recapture of the Lemurian Star.

Winter Soldier Inventory: Steyr AUG A3 (2d8, AP 2, 24/48/96, RoF 3, Auto, 30 Shots), Suppressor, SIG Sauer (2d6, AP 1, 12/24/48, Semi-Auto, 12 Shots), comms unit, kevlar vest with inserts (Armor +3, Armor +6 vs ballistics, –4 AP vs ballistics), stun wand (Vigor or incapacitated), combat knife (Str+d4, 3/6/12).

Rumlow is a master martial artist, marksman, and tactician, instrumental in a variety of S.H.I.E.L.D. operations. Unfortunately, he is also an undercover HYDRA agent. After the assassination of Nick Fury, Rumlow was tasked with bringing in Captain Rogers, though he was unable to do so several times, even with the help of the Winter Soldier. During HYDRA's uprising, Rumlow helped secure the launch codes and keep S.H.I.E.L.D. off HYDRA's back as they did what they could, even engaging in hand-to-hand with Sam Wilson. Unfortunately, he was taken down by a collapsing building after Project: INSIGHT helicarriers crashed into it.

This didn't kill him, however. Rumlow went off the grid and disavowed HYDRA, instead working for himself and his small team of mercenaries, just itching at a chance to kill Steve Rogers. That chance came in Lagos, Nigeria almost two years later, where Rumlow led an attack on an Institute for Infectious Diseases. After isolating Captain America, Rumlow went all-out in his new battle suit to try and wear the Captain down, before attempting to distract him and detonate the explosives strapped to his chest and take Steve with him. While the suicide bombing didn't take out Captain Rogers, it did kill over a dozen innocent civilians, and sparked the creation of the Sokovia Accords.

Natasha Romanoff—Black Widow

And now, we finally round out the roster of our original Avengers! (Except for some minor rewrites coming for Iron Man and Thor, but shh, don't tell anyone!) This has been a long time coming, but we're finally able to have the complete team together, just in time for them all to break apart and completely reform the team.

EDIT: I actually had some discussion come up about Natasha's skill distribution recently, particularly her Persuasion skill. I figured it was relevant enough to link to here, so hopefully this is a nice little read into my design mindset and philosophy.

• Stun (2): Strong. Device (–1).

Natalia was recruited by the KGB at a young age and was placed into training in the Red Room facility, where she was indoctrinated and educated in Russian spycraft. Her expertise and effectiveness put her on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar very quickly, and Clint Barton was sent after her to eliminate the threat. He disobeyed this order, however, and recommended her as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. From there on, Barton and Romanoff became partners, and Natalia changed her name to Natasha.

In 2009, Natasha had a run in with the legendary Winter Soldier. After being hired to protect a nuclear scientist, the assassin eliminated his target by firing a round through her stomach and into the scientist.

Iron Man 2 Inventory: Padded S.H.I.E.L.D. Suit (Armor +1), wire garrote, Walther PPK/S (2d6, AP 1, 12/24/48, Semi-Auto, 7 Shots), commlink, Widow's Bite (poison and stun powers, fires a rope projectile up to 50 yards with Shooting), flashbang (5/10/20, use the blind power with a raise in a MBT), taser disks (5/10/20, 3d6 EMP damage, target must make a Vigor roll at –2 or be Incapacitated and fall prone).

A couple years later, Natasha was put on a mission to infiltrate the Stark Industries legal department, working her way up the corporate ladder to get close to Tony himself and try to keep a close eye on him. She was quickly hired on as Stark's personal assistant after he signed his company over to Pepper Potts.

She witnessed the fight between Tony and Colonel Rhodes at the former's birthday party, and tracked down Stark later on with Fury to lay their cards on the table: they knew he needed to find a cure for the palladium poisoning, but he needed to make progress on it or they'd shut him down.

Romanoff was present at the Battle of Stark Expo, going with Stark's bodyguard to break into Hammer Industries HQ to intercept the terrorist Ivan Vanko. After stealing all the designs they could get their hands on and destroying the building, Natasha was ordered to shadow Bruce Banner at Culver University, and was almost killed as a bystander during the rampage. Afterwards, she was sent to retrieve Banner before General Ross captured him, but failed, instead capturing Samuel Sterns instead.

Avengers Prelude Inventory (comic prelude): Padded S.H.I.E.L.D. Suit (Armor +1), wire garrote, dagger ×2 (Str+d4), Glock 26 ×2 (2d6, AP 1, 12/24/48, Semi-Auto, 10 Shots), commlink, Widow's Bite (poison and stun powers, fires a rope projectile up to 50 yards with Shooting), glider pack (Pace 24, Climb –2, may glide up to 10× the initial height), autograpnel, smoke grenade (obscure power with a raise in a MBT).

Romanoff was then dispatched to Moscow, where she searched for missing Stark Industries tech, infiltrating a night club to try and interrogate an illegal arms dealer. Unfortunately, her target was killed by an unknown assailant, and she was forced to escape. The assassin revealed herself as a fan that was after the alias of the Black Widow, and Romanoff agreed to meet with her to try and keep her from interfering further. These and several other confrontations ended in the death of the "admirer," as well as an aborted nuclear missile launch set to destabilize world peace.

Nearly a year later, Romanoff was tasked once again to collect Banner. Tracking him to Kolkata, she convinced him to come and assist S.H.I.E.L.D. with locating the tesseract, stolen by Loki. Banner agreed, and she escorted him to the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, before being assigned to transport Steve Rogers to Germany to capture Loki. During the attack, Stark arrived to halt the fight, capturing Loki, and on the way back to the Helicarrier Thor arrived to attempt to retrieve Loki, prompting Iron Man and Rogers to pursue. Eventually, Thor was persuaded to their side.

Back at the carrier, Natasha used her interrogation skills to trick Loki into telling her that his plan was to unleash the Hulk onto the carrier, but soon after Barton arrived under Loki's control and detonated a bomb on one of the carrier's turbines. The explosion triggered Hulk's transformation, which gave her chase but ultimately knocked her out. Upon waking, she was sent to intercept Barton, knocking him out and breaking Loki's control. Natasha then went on with Barton and Rogers to assist in the battle of New York against the Chitauri, and she was the Avenger able to retrieve Loki's scepter and close the portal.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Inventory: Padded S.H.I.E.L.D. Suit (Armor +1), wire garrote, dagger ×2 (Str+d4), Glock 26 ×2 (2d6, AP 1, 12/24/48, Semi-Auto, 10 Shots), Commlink, Widow's Bite (poison and stun powers, fires a rope projectile up to 50 yards with Shooting), photostatic veil (chameleon power with Voice modifier, requires DNA and voice sample, one-time use, and only changes face (not shape or Size). –4 to Notice, –2 to Notice if not the same body type, straight Notice or instantly recognized if wrong gender), taser disks (5/10/20, 3d6 EMP damage, target must make a Vigor roll at –2 or be Shaken).

After this, Romanoff and Rogers became partners working on S.H.I.E.L.D. missions together, going undercover in a terrorist cell in Chicago and gaining their trust to allow Rogers to retrieve a stolen weapon from them. Two years after the battle of New York, her and Rogers were assigned to liberate the Lemurian Star, a S.H.I.E.L.D. vessel hijacked by Georges Batroc, though Natasha's real mission was data retrieval.

After Nick Fury's apparent assassination by the Winter Soldier, Natasha and Cap were forced undercover, trying to unlock Fury's secret USB with some encrypted data on it as their former STRIKE team hunted them down. They eventually found Arnim Zola, stored in a mass of computer banks in an old S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, telling them that he was recruited in Operation Paperclip and began to reform HYDRA within S.H.I.E.L.D. before a missile strike annihilated the base.

They survived and made their way to Sam Wilson, a friend of Rogers', and enlisted his help in overturning the HYDRA conspiracy, but not before another run-in with the Winter Soldier. After being taken to a hidden facility where Fury was still alive, they organized a plan to topple HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D., where Romanoff posed as a member of the World Security Council to get close enough to Alexander Pierce, Secretary of Defense and HYDRA agent, to get him to leak all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s old files. She then spent the next year or so attempting to find a new identity.

Natasha was eventually called back into action by Maria Hill, retrieving Loki's stolen scepter from a HYDRA base under Baron von Strucker. In this time, Romanoff and Banner had formed a close relationship, where she assisted him in calming down enough to revert into the good doctor. She was instrumental in the Ultron incursion, keeping track of Ultron's moves around the globe and assisting in intercepting Ultron's cradle, but was captured and taken back to Strucker's old fortress as a prisoner. Sending a signal out to the Avengers, she was rescued by Banner and assisted in the Battle of Sokovia by evacuating civilians and keeping Ultron's drones from dropping the city back to the earth.

Natasha is currently training and co-leading the New Avengers team alongside Captain America, and new recruits War Machine, Falcon, Vision, and Scarlet Witch.

Bucky Barnes—Winter Soldier

One of the most loyal characters in the MCU, Bucky is another soldier out of time. He's also going to be one of the main characters of Civil War, by the look of it. Can't wait to see more of him in action; it's gonna help me round out his build.

Sergeant James Barnes was a soldier during World War II and has been friends with Steve Rogers since they were young. Once the U.S. entered the European theater, Bucky joined up in the 107th, serving as an excellent marksman and fairly high ranking NCO. Unfortunately, the 107th was almost wholly taken prisoner and held at one of HYDRA's R&D facilities. Bucky was forced to assist in the manufacturing of HYDRA weapons, and later was taken by Arnim Zola—Red Skull's chief scientist—for experimentation, attempting to recreate the legendary super-soldier serum.

Some time later, Captain America raided the facility, rescuing Bucky and over 400 other men. Steve quickly recruited Bucky, along with a few others, to serve as Howling Commandos—Cap's private squad specializing in sabotaging HYDRA operations. After nearly a year with the Howling Commandos, Bucky was tossed out of a train and down a cliff on a mission to kidnap Zola.

Name: Bucky Barnes
Race: Human
Experience: 70 (Heroic)
Power Level: Heavy Hitter (60 PP)
Agility d12; Smarts d6; Spirit d8; Strength d12+2; Vigor d12

• Toughness +1 (1): Enhanced physiology. 

After Bucky was tossed from the train, however, HYDRA operatives found the still-living Bucky and began to experiment on him. They amputated his arm, replacing it with a powerful cybernetic replacement, pumped his system full of drugs and chemicals, and tried their hardest to make Bucky their ace in the hole. Throughout this process, Bucky had his memories wiped over and over, brainwashed until he complied with HYDRA's commands.

Before Bucky—now known as the Winter Soldier—was deployed for his first assassination, the soviet star was painted onto his cybernetic arm to throw people off of HYDRA's trail. Over the years, he was left in cryostasis until his services were required. Once his job was done, his mind was wiped and he was placed back into cryo until he was to be called upon again.

During the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Winter Soldier was called out once again to assassinate Nick Fury, and afterwards sent to hunt down the recently resurrected Captain America to make sure that Project: INSIGHT launched. On his mission, he killed at least several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and a handful of civilians, but after the destruction of the helicarriers, Bucky appeared to be regaining his memories.

He was last seen in early 2014, going underground to evade the authorities and learn who he really is.

Nick Fury—Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This is our first fully-fledged agent of the highly secretive organization, S.H.I.E.L.D. Odd bit of trivia: Samuel L. Jackson was cast for the role because in the Ultimates comic line, they based Nick Fury off of SLJ's image, and when Sam saw the similarities, he stated that he was totally okay with that so long as he would be cast for the role if they ever featured him in a movie.

Boy, I bet he wasn't expecting all of this to come about.

Name: Nick Fury
Race: Human
Experience: 140 (Legendary)
Agility d8; Smarts d10; Spirit d8; Strength d6; Vigor d8
Pace 6; Parry 6; Charisma –1; Toughness 8 (2)
Hindrances: Habit (m, very secretive), Loyal, One Eye, Stubborn
Edges: Alertness, Brave, Command, Hard to Kill, Marksman, Steady Hands, Dodge, Connections—S.H.I.E.L.D., Strong Willed, Quick Draw, Nerves of Steel, First Strike
Skills: Driving d8, Fighting d8, Intimidation d6, Knowledge (Battle) d6, Knowledge (Espionage) d10, Notice d6, Persuasion d8, Shooting d10, Stealth d8, Streetwise d8, Taunt d6
Inventory: Eye Patch, Long Coat, Glock 17 (2d6, AP 1, 12/24/48, Semi-Auto, 17 Shots), Kevlar Vest (Armor +2/+4 vs ballistics, negates 4 ballistic AP).

Fury is a no-nonsense and highly efficient tactician and spy. He has led S.H.I.E.L.D. for more than a decade and can disappear whenever the situation requires it. He has deep connections almost everywhere and has an incredibly commanding presence, easily netting him the legendary status of the super spy.

Nick Fury's past is shrouded in mystery. Not much is known about the mysterious director of S.H.I.E.L.D.; perhaps he worked for the military, or maybe the CIA. Either way, he join S.H.I.E.L.D. under the direction of Alexander Pierce. As one of their top agents, he was extremely secretive and efficient in carrying out his missions, even disobeying direct orders if it meant saving civilian lives.

Eventually, Fury became the director of the agency, and began to put together the Avengers Initiative: a special task-force of talented or powered individuals meant to deal with global threats to humanity. Fearing the possibility of one of the Avengers falling, Fury also created Project T.A.H.I.T.I., leaving it in the hand of Agent Coulson. He also rebooted efforts to locate Captain America.

Fury's world spun out of control, however, when he had to juggle not only Tony Stark's incident at the Expo and Banner rampaging back into U.S. territory, but also having to respond to a first contact situation in New Mexico. Nearly a year later, Captain Rogers was found and revived from the ice, and Fury oversaw his recovery and rehabilitation. After so long, however, the Avengers Initiative began to lose traction with the World Security Council and they ordered him to move to Phase 2—re-engineering weapons technology created by HYDRA during WWII using the Tesseract.

This ended up becoming a gateway for Loki to arrive on Earth and begin wreaking havoc, and without Phase 2 making any notable headway Fury fell back onto the Avengers Initiative. He gathered Stark, Banner, Rogers, and Thor together, along with Agent Romanov, and set up a mobile command base on his helicarrier. After bringing in—and subsequently losing—Loki, Fury used the death of Agent Coulson to further push the Avengers into uniting and overcoming Loki's Chitauri invaders.

Years after the Battle of New York, before the launch of Project: Insight, some of the information Fury discovered led him to be the target of an assassination attempt by the Winter Soldier, but with the help of Agent Hill, he faked his death and went into hiding. He assisted Captain Rogers and Agent Romanov to overthrow Project: Insight and HYDRA—destroying S.H.I.E.L.D. in the process. Out of a job and likely on a HYDRA kill list, Fury went underground and stayed there for more than a year, occasionally coming out of the woodwork once or twice to assist Agent Coulson and provide the Avengers with a Helicarrier during the Battle of Sokovia. Fury appears to be working with the New Avengers as an intelligence officer.

Steve Rogers—Captain America

This is it: the world's first super hero.

Well, the first super hero in the MCU, anyways. One of the founding members of the Avengers, Rogers is a man out of time, but that's not going to keep him from badassing his way onto the blog. I've been told that this is one of the best character conversions that I've done, and I've made some minor tweaks, but I hope you guys find this as interesting as others have.

Name: Steven Grant Rogers
Race: Human
Experience: 0 (Novice)
Agility d6; Smarts d8; Spirit d10; Strength d4; Vigor d4
Pace 6; Parry 2; Charisma 0; Toughness 4

Born on July 4, 1918, Steve Rogers was about as physically frail as a man could be: asthma, anemia, small stature, poor health in general. but he had an enormous heart and always tried to stand up for the good of others, and embraced the notion of justice and free will. Of course, this garnered the attention of a lot of bullies taking out their frustrations on the goodie-two-shoes and Rogers was constantly beat up.

Steve's father died in service to the country, his mother of tuberculosis. The closest thing to a family he had left was his best friend Bucky Barnes, who not only took Steve in but helped him defend himself from the bullies and other unsavory types that came after him. Even after high school, Steve still stood up to the bigger guy and would never back down.

Steve attended the Auburndale Art School in Brooklyn before the United States were pulled into World War II. At this point, with the help of his best friend, Steve trained furiously to try and whip his body into shape to be able to join the armed forces, but despite all his work Steve was rejected from service. Bucky, however, enlisted in the Army, waiting in the reserves.

Steve continued to apply for duty, altering his admissions information every time in hopes of being taken in, but was finally approached by Dr. Abraham Erskine during one of his attempts. After a short test of character, Steve was admitted and added for qualifications for Project Rebirth. During his training, though he was physically frail, he showed remarkable spirit and courage, making him the clear choice to receive a powerful "super-soldier" serum (enhanced with Vita Rays), which enhanced his speed, strength, health, reflexes, and physiology to the peak of human condition. Unfortunately, during this procedure, Dr. Erskine was shot and killed by an agent of HYDRA attempting to retrieve this serum for their own purposes, though Rogers thwarted this plan.

Still inexperienced, and with any other samples of the successful serum destroyed, Rogers was brought to the forefront of American propaganda about the war effort. After months of performing USO shows and being championed as the face of the military, a tour to the actual front went south. Catching wind of a large number of soldiers going missing and held prisoner by HYDRA, Rogers went (with the help of Howard Stark and Peggy Carter) to the PoW camp himself, saving more than 400 men—along with Bucky, who had also been captured—with little combat experience and a bit of stealth. He also recovered some kind of specialized ammunition, running on Tesseract technology.

He was then officially promoted to captain and given an indestructible vibranium shield and his own special unit: the Howling Commandos. Over the next year, Rogers and his unit cooperatively dismantled HYDRA operations and kept them contained in Europe. Near the end of the war, on their final mission, they lost Bucky in a tragic accident. This was immediately followed by a raid on HYDRA's main base that ended with Rogers boarding HYDRA's Valkyrie craft to prevent their bombings of several major cities across the globe, including New York.

This resulted with a showdown with Johann Schmidt, who was transported away by the Tesseract, though the craft was heavily damaged and Steve was forced to put it down in the ice, sacrificing himself.

Seventy years later, Rogers was recovered from the ice by S.H.I.E.L.D., much to his surprise. He spent the next few weeks in shock, catching up on lost time and opting not to call Peggy, fearing her reaction to seeing him. Soon, however, he was recruited for the Avengers Initiative, and brought Loki in custody to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

After discovering that S.H.I.E.L.D. was using the Tesseract to develop weapons, akin to HYDRA weapons back in World War II, and discovering that Loki's intended strategy was to hit New York, he commandeered a quinjet with Romanoff and the recently recovered agent Barton to join in on the action, fighting off the Chitauri invasion and commanding the battlefield with the other Avengers in the Battle of New York. After the portal was closed by Stark, Rogers parted ways with the rest of the Avengers to take up a place as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

Receiving intense training and experience with S.H.I.E.L.D. special ops, including several with Romanoff, Steve was shaping up to be one of the world's greatest melee combatants and the ultimate soldier. He was fast, stealthy, highly aware of his surroundings, and lethal. After a mission sent to recover a pirated ship—the Lemurian Star—and finding Romanoff recovering intelligence instead of dealing with pirates, Steve confronted Fury about this compartmentalization. His concerns were justified when it was revealed that HYDRA had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. and was planning on using souped-up Helicarriers to commit mass murder and secure control over the world. After an encounter with the Winter Soldier, and the help of Romanoff and Sam Wilson, he toppled the Helicarriers and thwarted HYDRA's plans. He then helped to lead the Avengers' campaign against HYDRA, culminating in their assault on Baron Von Strucker's base in Sovokia and receiving the Chitauri scepter.

Steve was present during the Ultron incursion, dealing with several drones and even standing up to Ultron himself for a little while, and was one of the Avenger's assisting with the evacuation of Sokovia before the city was sent hurtling back into the earth.

Steve is currently training and leading the New Avengers team, comprised of Black Widow, War Machine, Falcon, Vision, and Scarlet Witch.
