Present version of the file

Proposed Revised version of file (Would likely be down after application)

Changelog between present and proposed version.

Summary of changes:
  • Aesthetic overhaul
  • Every P&A previously mentioned has scans, if it didn't have any, they're removed
    • Removed regen, it is SORTA mentioned at one point, but it's not nearly as explicit enough.
    • Removed energy manip, it I think comes from the Handbook's wording of his powers, but in every practical sense it's just lighthax
    • Energy projection is just Light projection under Light manip
    • Found zero evidence of thermal hax
    • Temp resist is jank, he had a jacket.
  • Added misc powers not mentioned in previous file
  • Scaling overhaul
    • Gave him an AP variability mechanic based on how fast he is moving while attacking. The comic also has the notion that multi-attacks bypass dura (like damage stacks or some shit like that), but it's only implied so I didn't add it.
    • He fights Quicksilver offscreen like once, and even then he only tanks a punch. Whatever, he has better feats: proposed 9-A is from oneshotting the 9-B+s and direct scaling to Rogue's Sunfire key and Mister Fantastic
    • He canonically has superhuman durability, so: scaled him to Rogue, Aurora and Whirlwind, and he has a stated durability upscale from Angel. He also has a cratering feat that I asked around, and it's likely to get a 9-A/8-C result., so until it's calced, I'll just list it in the durability section.
    • Removed the Quicksilver scaling for reasons mentioned in notes. In general the Speed section has been overhauled greatly so please read it
    • Upped LS, lowered Intel, Range and Stamina in lieu of feats
    • Gave him a peak hypothetical Low 5-B feat as presented in the comics. Scales to fuckall since he'd die for trying it.
That's all for Northstar.

Unfucking portions of Aurora's page

Now the intelligent thing to have done would've been to do Northstar and Aurora together, but I didn't, there are reasons for that:
  1. Aurora shows up in comics Northstar doesn't and vice versa
  2. Aurora is annoying to scale, her powerset gets changed way more and she's borderline unsuitable in vs. debating
  3. Aurora is canonically homophobic and it is Pride Month
  4. She's a quirked up schizo nowadays which is an improvement to her character but it activates my fight or flight.
  5. I ******* hate her so much.
Regardless, the following changes can be applied to her file from my page:
  • The Light Projection segments can be applied since these powers are shared between them
  • Martial Arts can be applied to every Alpha Flight member, since it's a team skill they learn.
  • For now, she can use the scan of harming Northstar for her justification
  • Her speed can be nerfed to Hypersonic from Northstar scaling
As far as I can tell she has EVEN LESS of a reason to scale to Quicksilver.

Page Rename​

Northstar's page should be renamed to Northstar (Marvel Comics)
