Project Wideawake

For the Basic game.

Project Wideawake

The framing theme is Henry Peter Gyrich’s organisation, Project Wideawake, but it isn’t about that.

Instead it is a mutant supplement, detailing Heroes and Villains like the Hellfire Club (which was great for gaming) and various human characters like Stevie Hunter and Val Cooper.

So definitely a mixed collection but does contain a good number of villains.

This supplement packs a lot in – so is great value and gives you an X-Men game in 36 pages at the time. Top notch basic supplement.

X-Forces: the Mutant Update

In the early 90s mutants were big, so they again updated them for the Advanced Game.

X-Forces the Mutant Update

This similar campaign set has a 63 page roster book of heroes and villains, including newcomers like Trevor Fitzroy, Omega Red, Lady Deathstrike and more.

Also has stats for Domino, I noticed and some X-Factor the later.

Children of the Atom

The Marvel Super Heroes Advanced Set version of Project Wideawake, Children of the Atom called itself the official guidebook to mutants. That means the good and the bad. And there is a lot of bad in this one.

Compare 100 pages of this to 200+ of Champions Worldwide. Great value character density thanks to the triple column format and simple but descriptive game stats of MSH. Best value monster manual style supplement I ever came across that wasn’t a GHOTMU.

It wasn’t just my imagination over the years how good a deal this one was :-

Concrete Jungle

Another accessory, this supplement is similar. It lists the protagonists and antagonists of Marvel New York at the time form the Kingpin and Gladiator to the Porcupine. Also includes supporting cast like the other similar books, so Foggy Nelson, Mary Jane Watson, etc. Plenty of miscreants in this exceptional value Basic Game supplement.

Could have multi-columned some more Morts in this 36 pages here though. However:

The Fantastic Four Compendium

The first family finally got their monster manual with the advent of the Compendium, with allies and enemies in large numbers throughout. These advanced team focused mixed collections are excellent. Although the FF are always the third in line as a smaller team with fewer relationships and hence a smaller cast around them. The FF are written up in more detail each due to having the space, there’s a mini adventure at the end and after the first 75 pages of characters it details all the strange and wonderful places the FF might adventure in:hence entries in the below list for Kestorian, etc.
