USA-50: Book of the West – One a state, one side only good and bad
Got this in a bundle a while back. The premise is that each USA state should have a hero and people have collaborated to make them up. I don’t know if East exists.
Anyway it has multi-page hero and villain writeups with some campaign setting, hooks, hero interviews etc.

The FATE: of Rogue of the X-Men
Talking about MSH Rogue with Mike Lindsey on Google+ the other day so here’s my take at various stages of her career as far as a generic Fate Core game goes
Rogue – New to the X-Men
Reformed Evil Mutant power stealer
I can’t control mah power!
Not sure old baldy can really help me
My mother is a bad example
Mentally Unstable Dual Personality Immune to Takeover
+3 Deceive
+2 Athletics, Burglary, Physique
+1 Fight, Notice, Provoke, Stealth
-1 Lore, Will
3 Refresh
3 Physical Stress
1 Mental Stress
2 4 6 Consequences
Stunts
*Ms Marvel Array – Flight (+1), Body Armour (+3), Super Strength (+3)
Power Absorption (+5)
Catch : Cannot absorb artificial abilities like power armour or extra body parts
Rogue must touch a victim with her bare skin and make a successful Power Absorption roll to take all their Stunts/Skills/Powers giving the victim a one scene unconscious Consequence. If there are powers or abilities equal to or higher than her level she must make a Physique roll or similarly take a one scene unconscious Consequence. If hers are higher already she keeps her own. Mental Skills or powers are not able to be copied. The effects last for a scene unless she deliberately or is forced to keep contact longer. If this happens she must make a Will roll to prevent permanent power theft. Being Mentally Unstable and adding a third personality would lower her Will another rank and increase her Mind Control immunity. If a scene is long it is fictionally appropriate for the powers to wear off, perhaps with a compel.

MA4: The Fantastic Four Compendium – Third MSH Advanced Compendium is still very good
The first family finally got their monster manual with the advent of the Marvel Super Heroes Advanced Set, 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.

Champions Villains Volume One: Master Villains – Very powerful and lengthy Big Bad writeups
The first of these :- Champions Villains Volume One: Master Villains is $28.46 at http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/84330/Champions-Villai…
These are the big bads..and Doctor Destroyer and Mechanon are still kicking it, it seems. With epic double page writeups for all the things they can no and their super minions to boot. A lazy 3669 points for Destroyer, apparently. Lots of backstory and different flavours of low level minion detailed in this one with short characteristic differences.

Enemies of San Angelo – Supporting cast is strong and cosmopolitan
Most of the bad guys here have a significant associated normal that they tie into the background and possible uses, so I will count all those…they all get stats etc as well as writeups. Nicely done and a little more cosmopolitan than some it seems.
