Yes, this is part of the typical evil corporate conspiracy to make money out of things you probably already have. T must plead, however, an ulterior motive. | like these characters. | have spent many hours with them in my ‘campaign, and they have given me a lot of interesting moments. When I was offered the chance to rework them for the new edition, | got excited. But game companies don't give their free-lancers assignments just to get them excited. There is another reason for this package, and that is to provide the many Champions GMs common ground to work with. Within the pages of this book are more villains than ever, the sacrilegious and the profane, from Foxbat to Doctor Destroyer, from Ankylosaur to Wyvern, as well as a revision of the classic Escape From Stronghold. i's a diverse book; i there's no one in here that ‘a Game Master can use in his campaign, please don'tlet me hear aboutit. This collection also provides players and game masters with a shared universe; while there is no “offical” frame to judge differences in campaigns. That way, when s ‘Champions universe, this book provides a common reference someone talks about about “trouncing Neutron’, players from ‘campaigns aoross the country will know what is being talked about. USING THIS BOOK In this book, an effort has been made to coordinate with ‘campaigns of varying power levels, withthe large majority of villains fitting into what has been observed to be the "typical" power level: 50-60 active points in attacks, DEX 23-26, Defenses around 20-25, and 5 or 6 SPD. This book will be most useful to campaigns at that level, but minor adjust- ments will make the characters useful to a wider variety of ‘campaigns. We've tried to keep the character descriptions fairly simple so the GM will be able to run them more effectively, even if it means the character will not be as efficient ‘point-wise". I've heard perfectly good characters ‘come under extreme ridicule because a GM felt he could have designed that character with more powers to fit into a lower cost. My feeling on the matter can be summarized in two words — so what? “The object of the game isn'tto throw in as many limitations into a design as possible and make sure nothing could possibly harm him. Designing charactersis fun, and design- Ing etlective characters is satisfying, but being involved in an interesting story is a lot more fun and satisfying. Players must learn to trust the GM, and trust that the situations that he places their characters into may be dangerous, but will also be interesting, challenging, andentertaining. GMshave to reward that trust by allowing an intelligent plan to foil or ‘even change their carefully planned scenarios, and defeat their favorite villains. ‘Time to get off the soapbox. We present to you some classic Enemies, updated or the hardcover Champions. We fhave tried to make their origins more interesting to read ‘without contradicting what has gone before. However, ifn ‘Scott Bennie the course of developing these characters in your home campaign you've come up with adifferent approach, use the fone you've established. You're the boss. you're a fan of the original Enemies books, and are distressed that Deathstroke or some of your other favorites didnt make it into this book, well, depending onthe success of this book, there might be another Classic supplement ‘which willinclude them. We apologize if your favorites aren't within these pages. The original Enemies book was produced in 1981, and those certainly were different times in the comics industry. Comics have become more mature, and from the feedback that Hero has gotten about most campaigns, the average Champions campaign is more “mature” than many of the campaigns produced by other superhero role-games.

Origin: Eurostar grew out of Danar Nicole's desire to unite Europe. After scandals destroyed Danar's politcal career, he decided that only force could bring Europe together. AS. Fiacho, he set out to create a new European power. ‘Through his old contacts in Interpol, Danar learned of a human juggernaut that was pounding his way through East Germany. Fiacho immediately travelled across the Iron Curtain and found Igor Starankov (Durak) demolishing a Soviet armored platoon. Though victorious, Igor realized that the army would eventually crush him under weight of numbers. When Fiacho offered him a way out of Germany, he took it. Eurostar had its first recrut Fiacho and Durak fled and settled in italy to search for ‘other members. While they were in Rome they heard that a young woman had literally blown over a small town. They
