Thursday HERO Adventure

The Freakshow comes to town

It all begins with Halfjack coming to town.
He attempt to perform a robbery of an armored car and fights with one of the heroes (alone on patrol), during the fighting his cybernetcs take a hit , he fires a blast at a passing bus full of nuns or tanker truck and while the hero saves the day he dissappears , leaving behind a damaged cybernetic limb.  He goes looking for a mad scientist who can do repair work.  He finds Dr Kirby Loo. Dr Loo repairs him and offers to upgrade him.  Halfjack makes a return engagement (now armed with 45 Villain Points of upgrades and the limits physically forced loyalty to Dr Loo and an unknown GM determined 2d6 susc) , calls the hero out , and (maybe) defeats the hero with upgraded weaponry then leaves.  Other villains hear of the success thru the grapevine and come to Dr Loo to get helped or fixed.  Halfjack recruits Fire and Ice, Piledriver, Sledge, Occulon and the Scorpion to begin a wave of crime hitting a wide variety of targets to get the components to build a version of Pythias Pomegrantes Ubermachine.  Beyond financing cash they need to steal a number of things for the Doctor's upgrades. After each theft a roll will be made to give all the villains a villain bonus.

Act Roll     Theft
8-              A set of specialized harmonic bells which they will steal from sun valley chip makers
9-              A pound of Vibranium , which they will have to steal from the antigravity research center at Cape 
                 Canaveral.
10-            A kilo of yittrium earths from the Florida Superconductor Project
11-            A special osmium alloy - the best source of which whould be - the (hi tech device of a PC)
12-            Experimental blood substitue fromt he Miami State Seratology dept.
13-            An experimental anti-rejection drug used with PRIMUS agents who take cyberline
14-            The METE environmental chamber

After each heist an upgrade attempt will be made on each of them (use act roll) if successful give all the villains a 10 point villain bonus.

The press will dub the marauders THE FREAKSHOW and the name will stick.

Once he has all of these things he will remove the villains prosthesis and attach them to Halfjack, drain off Fire and Ice's powers to charge the device, and replace Occulon's eyes.  Halfjack will then become Dr Kirby Loos ultimate bodyguard. Halfjack will have stats comparable to that of his own creator Mechanon.

Of course when the heroes thwart the scheme Loo will be sent to Prison and the others to Stronghold where they will tell their tale to other inmates.  The inmates will stage a breakout to recover Loo, and make him repair their maladies.  The second Freakshow will be Griffin, Dragonfly, Ogre, Brick, Grond, Leech and Hideous.  Loo will instead plan to transfer their minds to "worthless" human bodies and replace them with those of his brainwashed lieutenants/sons.  Guarding Loo during the proceedings will be the Green Dragon and the Red Dragon his mind washed martial artists and if he gets the device up and running full time an army of frankensteinian half men.
