 ORIGINAL COVER ART

WHAT’S NEW?
The original adventure was quite short and to the point: a
location and a mission. A small island with a base on it, and
the defenses and layout. It was up to the heroes to get in,
find the device to disable it, and deal with the defenses they
encountered.
In this update, I’ve tried to come up with a bit more of an
adventure while keeping the basic concept and spirit of the
original. Obviously in the intervening years, the game system
and world has changed, and technology has advanced signifi-
cantly, so some aspects have been updated as well. The goal
for this version is to create an adventure that captured the fun
and feel of this original module for a new generation while still
having surprises and excitement for those who have played it
before or heard of the module.

This adventure was originally released in 1981, not long

after Champions first burst on the gaming scene. Written by
the original Champions creators Steve Peterson and George
MacDonald, and illustrated by classic Champions artist Mark
Williams, it was designed to be a simple, straight forward epic
assault on a supervillain base to stop their world-conquering
scheme!
This was also the first appearance (in print) of Dr Destroyer
as well as a villain team introducing of Armadillo, Hideous,
Lazer, Panda, Raccoon, Sledge, Vibron, Wyvern, and of course
Dr Destroyer’s villainous agents that serve him on the island.
Overall the island fortress had a very “James Bond” feel to
it, with the mission to go in, find, and destroy the evil device
before it is launched; complete with SAM missile batteries,
and overall base design matching that theme.
With the release of this, the first superhero adventure mod-
ule ever produced for a role playing game, Champions showed
it was here to stay and would be fully supported by the new
company.

Like that original adventure, this is dedicated to Steve Peter-

son and George MacDonald without whom there would be no
Champions and all the thousands of hours of enjoyment that
has filled so much of our lives. A tip of the OIF armored super
helmet to both.

 PART ONE
THE CHASE SCENE
Destroyer’s agents are in the Mauler Armored Vehicle
(detailed at the end of this adventure with the other charac-
ters, abbreviated MAV or “Mauler”) with the isotopes they
stole from the University, and are headed out of the Universi-
ty grounds. Which university? Well that’s up to you: is it a
real one or one you made up? Its in the town you set your
adventure, and called whatever you wish. The MAV has a Hol-
ographic Disguise (Images vs sight, -4 PER) of being a huge
dump truck initially and that is how it made it to the University
without being noticed.
THE RUNNERS
There are a number of agents equal to double the PCs who
join the chase (so if 4 PCs are after the Mauler, there are 8
agents in it). The agents are all wearing distinctive, recogniza-
ble armor which is associated with Dr Destroyer (if the PCs are
all new, then maybe one makes an INT roll or KS: Superhero
world roll, anything related to that idea, at +2 to recognize
them.
One agent is operating the vehicle, one agent is guarding
the Kirbyum isotope and handling navigation etc, and the rest
are operating its various defenses and riding inside.
One agent is up in turrets at the top of the MAV, firing at
the police. Two are operating guns that poke out the sides If
there are any more, they are either armored and armed up
waiting to exit the vehicle on need to provide cover or delay
pursuit.
The police cruisers are standard cop cars with two police
officers in each armed with automatic pistols and a shotgun.
None of these weapons can harm the MAV and will do mini-
mal damage to the agents in their body armor.
3
THE CHASE BEGINS
The MAV rolls out at top speed of 25m per phase at speed 3
and immediately has two police cruisers chasing it, having just
arrived at the university in response to a call about an armed
robbery taking place.
Its headed to the docks which are 5 turns away at full speed,
at which point it crashes off the side and into the water,
where it becomes a submarine that swims away to Dr De-
stroyer’s island at 20m per phase at speed 3, Invisible to So-
nar. After one turn at combat speed to get out of the harbor
safely, it kicks into non combat speed (40m per phase).
The Holographic device will only function for one turn of
chase, at which point the thing burns out and the MAV’s real
shape is revealed. On phase 3 of each turn after the first, an-
other d3 police cars join the chase, until six total are involved.
Once six are involved, then each time a police car is disabled
(hitting something or being shot by the MAV turrets) then
another will join in the chase on phase 3 of the next turn.
The police try usual tactics such as tire rippers (no effect on
the MAV’s flatless tires) and nudging the Mauler with their
cars (its too heavy and the engine too powerful to have any
effect), and blocking the road (it drives over them).
HOW TO RUN THE CHASE
You don’t need a precise, complicated map and city layout
to run this chase. Its pretty irrelevant where the chase goes,
its just a matter of x time period to reach y location or be
stopped before then. If you want to have specific spots that
the players will recognize and enjoy, that can be fun, but its
not important to the scene.
Simulating city streets is simple: there are three lanes going
either direction on the roads follows (6 total lanes). The roads
are not clogged with traffic, allowing the police, MAV, and any
player character vehicles to move swiftly (although weave
through the sparse traffic dramatically if desired).
These are the basics: the MAV will move as fast as it can,
and due to its size and design can crush over the tops of most
vehicles like a tank and keep moving with only a slight reduc-
tion in velocity (using its “Crush” power which takes a half
phase).
The police will follow the vehicle, using radios and, if availa-
ble, the helicopter to coordinate attempts to block the Mauler
ahead of its path. If fired upon, the police officer not driving
will fire out of their side window at the MAV for the first two
turns, then realize its doing no good and stop trying that.
SETTINGS
If you as the GM want to, you can keep it pretty straight
forward; the heroes try to stop the MAV, the MAV tries to get
to the docks, the cops chase and try to stop it.
However, there are some things you can add in, to make it
more interesting. Some possibilities are:
THE TUNNEL. This tends to limit or eliminate flying devices,
and ground vehicles. The ceiling of the tunnel is 5m and its
50m long, and has three outlets, which makes hanging out at
the exit less effective. The MAV heads to the left, toward the
docks. Obviously inside the tunnel, no new vehicles can join in
from side roads.
 CLOVERLEAF with multiple roads intertwining in offramps,
bridges, and so on. The MAV heads up one, crashes through
the side to hop to another offramp, and heads off down the
road that goes beneath the bridge. This will stop most pursuit
from ground vehicles, forcing them to turn around and head
back which delays them a full turn. At least one cop car will
try to follow and not make the jump, possibly requiring rescue
from a PC.
VIADUCT with two long sections of road built one over the
top of another. Like a tunnel, this sort of causeway limits fli-
ers, especially if there are buildings close to the roads limiting
movement to the side. It has the same basic limitations of the
tunnel above (5m height) but runs for 150m and is open to the
sides. However, there’s nothing allowing more vehicles to join
into the chase from the side (no onramps) so police cars and
PC ground vehicles like a motorcycle cannot join in until the
chase exits this area. As a GM you might allow someone to
drive onto a building and use combat driving roll to jump to
the road.
What won’t work is the old “bridge raising to allow a ship to
go under” bit because the MAV would just leap into the water
at that point and convert to swim mode to get away.
Complicating MATTERS
Now, chasing a huge armed neo-tank through a city with
cop cars and vehicles in the way is exciting, but a GM can
make things even more interesting by mixing in a few of these
possible events and complications to the chase.
ROADBLOCK: The Police try to set up a roadblock involving
several patrol cars parked at angles facing the road. The road-
block is successfully set up two full moves by the Mauler down
the road. Policemen with rifles are set up at the roadblock to
help damage the MAV (again, they cannot penetrate its ar-
mor). If nothing additional is added by the PCs, the Mauler
simply crashes over the top of the cars and heads on down the
road, barely slowing down (again using a Crush maneuver).
INNOCENTS ARRIVE: Multiple school busses filled with ele-
mentary school children who went to a downtown museum
pull into the road ahead of the chase. They are in the direct
path of the MAV which shows no signs of slowing down. The
PCs have 3 phases to get the busses out of the way or the kids
to safety before the MAV moves up to them and uses its
Street Sweeper attack to blast the busses out of the way.
TRAFFIC JAM: The roads were open but cops trying to divert
traffic out of the chase have caused confusion and panic and
now a whole block’s worth of cars is stopped and tangled up.
This is an area 120m in length, with the intersection complete-
ly snared up with trucks and cars turning into each other and
being blocked in. MAV can drive over the top of and shove
aside these vehicles, but it slows the thing down considerably.
Obviously anything this beast rolls over will be smashed down,
including passengers.
CONSTRUCTION SITE: This isn’t on the road, but is to the
side, where lots of heavy machinery such as bulldozers,
cranes, heavy dump trucks, and such are set up and in use.
Player Characters might take advantage of this by setting up a
roadblock that the Mauler cannot get through (and will try to
go around).
4
THE HELICOPTER: A police or press helicopter is flying over-
head, coordinating action or getting footage for the local news
station. The copter might get too low or just be too tempting
a target for the agents in the MAV (especially if one of the
heroes is known for a protective of lives complication) and it
gets shot. The copter spirals out of control and will crash after
12 segments, killing everyone inside.
DNPCs: always fun for the GM, put a DNPC in the traffic,
stuck at a light ahead. They can even call our hero on the
smart phone to tell them about some crazy police thing going
on behind them while they are in a traffic jam….
GYRO JIM: Intrepid independent net reporter Gyro Jim is
out flying around in his gyrocopter device reporting the news
as it happens for his live streaming site. He’s an annoying per-
sonality who refuses to stay out of trouble but not a bad guy
and can easily become a hostage or target of the gunners.
JACKNIFE: An oil tanker truck is jackknifed in the road, di-
rectly in the path of the MAV. Why was he in the middle of
town? Because comic book logic and drama! Naturally if the
Mauler crashes through this thing it will instantly explode for a
6d6 energy explosion killing attack of 30m, losing 1d6 per 5m
distant from the center.
AGENT ATTACK: The MAV has a rear hatch that is its prima-
ry access point, and if there are enough agents, they might
open the thing out and exit the car on grav belts to attack su-
pers or anyone causing problems. Two will stay at the turrets,
two will stay as driver and navigator, and the rest can come
out to attack. While not very tough or able to deal with a
hero solo they can be enough of a distraction to let the MAV
get further and delay some actions like moving a bulldozer
into the street.
WHAT CAN STOP THIS THING?
So the chase is on, and you have fun things to throw at the
party while they are after the MAV. So what can bring it to a
halt?
Well doing enough damage to stop it will work, although
that will be tough since the PD and ED armor is so high. The
wheels are made of solid super-nylon and just as tough as the
rest of the car (and will not go flat).
If someone is strong enough or can get the leverage to tip it
over, then MAV cannot move.
If someone puts something in front of and around the MAV
that it cannot crush or push aside (such as several bulldozers
and other heavy machinery), it will stop as well.
If someone manages to get inside and incapacitate the
agents, then it will stop as well.
At this point, all the conscious agents will exit and try to give
cover to the one with the Kirbyum who attempts to fly away
at noncombat speed with a 15m speed jet pack.
WHAT IF ITS NOT STOPPED?
Well that may make the heroes feel bad, but they will have
saved a lot of lives and prevented a lot of property damage, so
that’s good. And like most of these sort of plots, whether Dr
Destroyer gets this particular Kirbyum or not, he’ll still be able
to build his device so it doesn’t matter if the MAV gets away.

Some players just don’t care about investigation, or their

can allow them to make an INT roll to discover clues from the
available materials, or if not them, then a handy NPC such as a
police detective.
Should the players need someone like this around, then you
can introduce Detective Sargent Kuri Navarro, a half-Spanish,
half-Japanese beauty who is incredible with investigation skills
and has plenty of contacts to dig into areas she’s not able to
(forensic scientists, university professors, etc). Detective Na-
varro can be a regular help in the campaign for this sort of
thing, until at least one PC has the skills to handle it them-
selves.
She can give them the basics (treat all her rolls as being
made by 1) for what is going on and why, then she can after a
few days call one of them — perhaps she’s become romanti-
cally involved with a PC? — and tells them that one of the
profs at the college cracked and told them about a location at
a lighthouse. It seems that it was used as a base by Destroy-
er’s Agents, and one of them accidentally left a smart phone
behind that can be cracked to get the exact location of Dr De-
stroyer’s island base.
In this case, investigating the lighthouse absolutely should
have some enemies there trying to recover or destroy the lost
smartphone. And of course, Detective Navarro knows just the
person to crack that phone and get the useful information!

 PART THREE
UNTIL ENGAGES
However the party finds out about the island, and whatever
their plans, they are contacted by UNTIL before they head out
to deal with the island first. UNTIL wants to coordinate the
effort and give the attempt international legal validity. If they
aren’t an official or easily-contacted team, then the most pub-
licly visible and reputable hero is personally approached and
The UN contact offers the heroes support, transportation,
some supplies, and legal cover for an assault on an island in
international waters, should the campaign be the kind that
cares about that sort of thing.
If the PCs refuse and go off on their own, then UNTIL will be
miffed but will still cover for the heroes, because of what they
are trying to do, as long as they don’t cause too much trouble
or fail. If you don’t use UNTIL, then feel free to substitute
whatever local or international organization is the equivalent
quasi-law enforcement/Super Agency.
If the PCs work with UNTIL, then they get this briefing:
All right cut the horsecrap, and listen up. My name is
Major Matubo. I only have time to go over this once. We
need to get you to the Island as soon as possible and I have
to prep you on what to expect.
For those who don’t know, this Dr Zerstoien is none oth-
er than the Nazi war criminal and scientific genius Doctor
Destroyer. He was a danger to the world for more than
half a century now, but has been out of sight for years.
Now he has some new plot in action and what we know of
him and the plot means it must be stopped.
Here’s what we know for sure: Destroyer has an island
base which is designed around a rocket launch. There are
dozens of agents as well as at least three supervillains, and
presumably, Doctor Destroyer himself. We know that the
rocket is nuclear powered, and highly unstable. We know
that the base has extensive defenses against aerial attack.
Here’s what we have guessed from what you and the
intelligence and law enforcement agencies of the world
have learned: The rocket contains a satellite which is de-
signed to affect human minds. We believe that the con-
trols to the rocket are at the base.
Because of the nuclear nature of the rocket, the defens-
es, and its 100 mile proximity with other inhabited islands,
we cannot use a military strike. Even if the fallout and
devastation does not reach them, a tsunami would eventu-
ally hit the coasts with unknown force. The presence of
supervillains, not to mention Dr Destroyer himself, rules
out a typical military infiltration. We need you.
Your objective, then, is to penetrate into the launch com-
plex, destroy the satellite, and end Destroyer’s ability to
recreate it at least for the time being.
We can provide you with transportation and some
equipment to help you get to and move through the island,
but we’re going to have to rely on your abilities and wit.
God help us all.

DR DESTROYER
The players may have recognized who Dr Zerstoien is from
previous games and knowledge of the Champions Universe, as
the premier villain of the setting. Others may be unaware of
him and need some information. Here’s the basic information
that they are given in a briefing:
Zerstoien was part of Hitler’s scientific team that were
working on an atomic bomb, as well as the creation of several
new Ubermenschen. But he saw that Germany was going to
lose the war and he left the Nazis to join the resistance in
France and ended up working in the west during the Cold War
building nuclear weapons.
However, as soon as he’d learned all he needed to from the
Americans he disappeared and went underground in his drive
for world domination. Creating a criminal network funded by
selling weapons and new technology, Destroyer became in-
credibly wealthy and over the next few decades tried to take
over the world several times.
Despite his advanced age, Zerstoien has managed to stay fit
and vital, probably using secret advanced science and tech he
shares with no one. Dr Destroyer wears a powerful suit of
advanced armor that makes him more than a match for any
superhero. He has an army of “agents” which are equipped
with top end weaponry and armor beyond any of that a nor-
mal military or law enforcement agency in the world can field.
Zerstoien is considered one of if not the most brilliant scien-
tist in the world in almost every discipline, including nuclear
science, computers, robotics, rocketry, physics, and chemistry.
IN THE CHAMPIONS UNIVERSE
Its up to you as the GM as to when you place this adventure
or if you use the Champions Universe timeline at all. Dr De-
stroyer faked his own death by destroying Detroit entirely,
then later encountered an extradimensional version of himself
who in a catastrophic battle barely defeated him and has him
imprisoned now in a magical cell.
In fact, it doesn’t actually matter what happened to Dr De-
stroyer or what point it is in his career for the purposes of this
adventure, because — spoiler alert — this Dr Destroyer is an
android much weaker than the real one, and not him at all.
What is actually going on and why this robot is carrying out
this plot will be revealed later.
THE ISLAND OF DR DESTROYER
This island is presumed to be somewhere in the eastern
Atlantic Ocean for the purposes of this module, but the exact
location is up to you as a GM (you’ll just have to adjust some
of the clues on previous pages).
The island its self is 750m north-south and 1300 meters east
-west. It is almost entirely edged with cliffs that range from 8-
18 meters in height, with further cliffs and one rocky ridge
above them. There is only one clear beach to make an easy
landing on the eastern edge, with a dock. Much of the island
is grassy open land with shrubs and boulders, but some of it is
forested (the types of trees will be determined by where you
put the island in the world).
PHYSICAL DETAILS
BEACHES: Shaded areas on the map indicate beaches. Most
of the island has no beach, with only a few scattered sections.
Most of the beach area is at the dock, and all are cleared,
loose sand without any grasses or brush. Ground movement
through this area is -3m velocity unless a character has Envi-
ronmental Movement to ignore sand penalties.
CLEAR: Clear areas on the map are grassy, open regions
with little cover. They cause no reduction in ground move-
ment, but the grassy areas are too short for an ordinary per-
son to hide in, and there are too few rocks and shrubs to pro-
vide easy movement without being spotted.
CLIFFS: The tallest, lower cliffs around the rim of the island
are very steep and smooth, requiring a Climbing roll to ascend
(or clinging) their d6+9m height. Climbing these cliffs is at a
rate of 1m per phase. The higher cliffs are less sheer and
smooth, and are only 6-10m in height. Characters with cling-
ing can run right up them, but climbing is at a +3 to the roll
and movement is 2m per phase.
DOCKS: These are 12m wide, and of very sturdy construc-
tion. They are built with cranes to lift cargo off of boats, and
can hold a fully laden hovercraft at rest. At any given daytime
period, there will be d6+3 agents present, plus the possibility
of a boat here on an 8- chance with 3d6 agents present guard-
ing and overseeing the boat. At night, the guard is 2d6+3,
spread along the beach and on the dock, patrolling. Standard
policy is to shoot absolutely anyone or anything seen that is
not immediately recognized or has given the proper signal
(three short and two long flashes when approaching).
8
FOREST: All areas covered with tree symbols are forest, cov-
ered with 8-12m tall trees and 1-meter-high brush. There is
quite a bit of cover, but all ranged attacks are at an additional
-2 range modifier, and characters are reduced by 2m ground
movement. Any vehicle larger than a motorcycle must stick to
roads (if any) or be able to pass through trees (5 PD, 4 ED, 8
BODY) by either crashing them down or some manner of slip-
ping through them.
Flying through the trees halves noncombat movement ve-
locity. Swinging and teleportation are unaffected, although
the GM may require a perception roll to spot a place to tele-
port to through the brush and canopy.
OCEAN: The cliffs drop straight down into the sea, plunging
to hundreds of meters deep. The Atlantic Ocean is fairly calm
most of the year in this area, and is warm enough to be com-
fortable swimming. Although there are said to be sharks in
this area, only have them be a problem if you feel the game
needs some tension or excitement at this point in the session.
ROAD: A paved road leads from the docks to a section that
doubles as a runway leading to the Villa. The road is 10 meter
wide asphalt surface with 10m on either side cleared to dirt,
providing no cover whatsoever. The Road is raised a few cm
above the surrounding dirt area and slopes to either side to
drain rainfall. In the day, there is an 11– chance of some truck
or agent vehicle driving along the road patrolling or moving
gear and personnel from point to point. At night there are no
vehicles but the Agents regularly patrol this area with two
mounted squads of 5 agents each on Hoversleds, moving from
the villa to the end of the runway, then down to the beach
and back, while the other patrol goes the opposite direction.
This gives a fair clear area around the villa of 144 seconds (12
turns) before any given patrol starts heading back to the
house from the crossroads.
ROCK RIDGE: This peak is too small to be a mountain, but
rises 32m above the surrounding landscape. It provides a re-
markable view, but has no real cover as it is rough rock with
few small plants and no boulders. Anyone can climb the
mountain at half ground movement speed.
DEFENSES OF THE ISLAND
In addition to Dr Destroyer himself, there are up to eight
Supervillains working as mercenaries for the doctor, and 270
Agents, most of whom are trained as a military force and
equipped with high end special military gear. In addition the
island has several layers of defensive equipment designed by
Dr Destroyer himself.
The bulk of the Island’s defenses are the Destroyer Agents
and the Supervillains. However, there are some automated
machines and manned guns that are used to protect the island
as well.
All of the Island’s defensive weapons are run by the Artificial
Intelligence within Dr Destroyer’s lair, which is detailed at the
end of this adventure. This AI must make a perception roll to
recognize a target using the Island’s IR and Radar recognition
systems which can perceive up to 10 miles offshore. Once it
does, it fires a given weapon at the target once per phase.
 However, once the AI begins firing at a target, any agents
nearby a weapon emplacement have a perception roll to spot
the target and recognize it is firing at a legitimate threat. If
they do so, they can access the weapon and begin firing it at
their DEX, SPD, and OCV, using the AI’s radar and IR to target.
Thus, it will find, identify, and target an enemy, and the weap-
on system has the island’s Range Modifier penalties, not the
individual agent. However, they still target using their OCV.
SENSOR ARRAYS: Around the island are a ring of sensory
arrays, covered by radio and Infrared (IR) transparent domes
and camouflage netting. The netting requires a –1 Perception
Roll to spot as anything different than the surrounding territo-
ry (plus range modifiers).
Each array covers an radius of 50m with IR detection and
RADAR, overlapping areas to give the edge of the island com-
plete overlapping coverage. However, this coverage each also
extends out 10 miles into the ocean, from a height of 15m off
the ocean surface to 3 miles above the island.
The RADAR picks up solid objects that aren’t invisible to
radio waves, and the IR picks up heat signatures. Both are
best at discovering larger objects, and are used as the “eyes”
for the defensive emplacements to target threats.
ARBALEST ANTI AIRCRAFT WEAPONS: Each of these em-
placements is a Surface to Air Missile (SAM) designed to
bracket a flying target with multiple bursts of electricity. Each
does a 3d6 27m radius killing attack PD explosion (loses 1
Damage Class of killing every 3m). Each launcher has a total of
16 missiles in its underground magazine.
Each launcher may fire only once every other of the AI’s
phases, reloading between phases. However, if a Destroyer
Agent is manning the SAM, it can fire each one of their phas-
es. The launchers have 8 rPD, 10 rED, 10 BODY, and a DCV of -
1 (thus, they give everyone +1 OCV to hit the large, immobile
object). However, a SAM can be targeted in the launcher
before firing (at DCV 4 because only a small part is showing) at
6 PD, 6 ED, and 3 BODY. If destroyed, it will detonate, doing
the damage directly to the launcher, at half its rPD because it
is inside the armored casing.
9
Characters may attempt to destroy the controls and com-
puter “brain” of the launcher by taking a -4 OCV penalty.
However, the controls are not visible from above, and are
protected by the 8 rPD, rED body of the launcher. From the
ground, the controls are easily seen and targeted from the
back of the launcher. They have 2 BODY. Destroying this cuts
off the AI’s communication with the SAM and ruins manual
control of the emplacement, shutting it down.
RED ALERT
The AI runs most of the defenses, and coordinates the pa-
trols of various agents moving around the island, as well as
the supervillains.
In addition to the patrols, there are sensors around the is-
land giving continuous input to the AI of anything that moves
or acts around the island.
SENSORS: The main sensors are ringed around the Island as
described in Sensor Arrays, above. Every weapon installation
also has a Sensor Array attached to it.
If these sensors are damaged or blinded in some way, then
the AI will view that as a malfunction and treat that as a Secu-
rity Event.
In addition, the AI has hacked into various GPS satellites and
keeps track of all movement and activity on the island using
that as well. All Destroyer Agents have a GPS locator as part
of their uniform, which tells the AI where they are and if they
are mobile or stationary.
If any guard is too far away from their designated patrol or
post for longer than a minute, the AI will consider that a Secu-
rity Event and try to contact that guard through their radio
link in the helmet. If the guard does not give a response or
replies with the wrong response code (PCs might hear that if
they are patient and wait around a patrol long enough, they
check in regularly), then the AI treats that as two Security
Events.
The AI is very fast and smart, but it is not omniscient. It has
a high perception roll (14-) but is not always paying attention
to everything at the same time. Thus, any given time a char-
acter might be spotted by the AI (entering the sensor radius,
moving by a camera, etc), it has a 13- Perception Roll. This is
reduced to 12- if the character is on the rock ridge, and 11- if
the character is in the forest.
The maximum range that the Security Array on the edge of
the island can read is shown on the map with a shadowed
area.

 On-Duty Agents wear full armor and have a full compliment
of weaponry. They man the defenses, patrol the island, guard
areas, and drive vehicles for various duties (such as cargo un-
loading and loading, etc).
Patrols of 5 Destroyer Agents move around the Island con-
stantly day and night, mostly on foot, but some riding Hov-
ersleds. As noted above, each patrol has a chance of also be-
ing accompanied by one or more Supervillains.
There are three ways that a PC may encounter a patrol
1) The GM decides this is time for an encounter
2) The PCs approach an area protected by a patrol (such as a
Radar Emplacement or the Docks)
3) The PCs get unlucky. This can either be an Unluck roll of 1
level (2 adds the villain element, 3 is more than 1 patrol
plus villains each), or simply a given die roll such as an 11–
chance.
An encounter with a patrol does not mean that the Player
Characters have been spotted. Patrols will be encountered at
a distance. Roll 3d6 to determine how many dice are then
rolled to resolve the distance in meters the patrol first is
“encountered”).
When a patrol is encountered, the GM should give the PCs
the first roll to spot them, modified by their distance and the
terrain. Patrols make no effort to be unnoticed or sneak up on
anyone. If they spot the patrol, they can take whatever action
they wish.
Then the patrol should get a shot at spotting the PCs, who
are probably not being quite as conspicuous. If they spot the
PCs, they move in to deal with the problem, but will not nec-
essarily radio in. These are bored and well-trained mercenar-
ies in special armor with special high tech weapons, and don’t
really believe they need backup.
If the PCs don’t look like superheroes, they will just roll up
and try to take them into custody for interrogation. Should
the PCs fight back, well then the agents attack without mercy.
Roll a d6 on the table below (or just decide as a GM) for
how the patrol reacts when they spot superheroes or realize
that the PCs are in fact super powered beings:
AGENT REACTION TABLE
ROLL REACTION
0- Flee scattering and hope they aren’t followed
1 Run away to find more agents
2 Retreat while firing, calling in backup
3 Get into a defensive position, calling backup
4 Stop and call for backup
5 Advance cautiously
6 Advance to capture while attacking
7+ Advance to capture without attacking
Each supervillain with the team adds +1 to this roll
Each agent less than double the number of heroes subtracts
1 from this roll
11
If the team takes casualties, they will try to call for backup
immediately. If half the team is down, they begin a firing re-
treat while calling for backup. If the team is down to one
member, they surrender and hope they are not beaten to
death by the superheroes.
CALLING FOR BACKUP
Any time an agent calls for backup, another squad is sent
and will arrive in d3+3 turns. If this means they show up after
the first squad is defeated, then it takes an additional d6
minutes before they arrive (they are using cinematic, not logi-
cal time). If the GM desires or it will be entertaining, instead a
Supervillain will arrive by their own power, either riding a de-
vice or using their special movement powers.
CAPTURED AGENTS
Captured agents will talk with any successful Charm, Con-
versation, Interrogation, or Persuasion roll by 1 or better, or
PRE attack (by PRE+10 or better). These agents are not partic-
ularly loyal or conditioned, and are confident the Superheroes
will be captured and beaten anyway. The agents know only
that the Doctor has a villa at the end of a runway, that there’s
a rocket base they live in that is accessed through the villa,
and that there are eight total supervillains on the island.
They aren’t aware of anything more than that. None of
them know where Dr Destroyer is (the only agents that know
this are the ones guarding and working in the rocket room).
CAPTURED SUPERVILLAINS
How each reacts depends a lot on their personality and who
they are. Each has their own perspective. Sledge can be
sweet talked into telling what he knows by a charming female,
for example. Wyvern cannot be broken or reasoned with.
Others can be intimidated or bought off, some cannot will not
talk. Most have some form of resistance, mental defense, or
psychological complications that make it difficult to force
them to talk.
See the individual Supervillain character sheets for details
on their personalities and reactions to events. Some might
even be possible to flip to good guys eventually, if handled
carefully.
None of them know any security codes, what the Doctor is
actually doing, or any secrets that the agents are unaware of
except for the fact that Dr Destroyer is in the launch rocket
room and busy.
None of the Supervillains or Agents are aware that Dr De-
stroyer is an android. If they find out, they are dismayed be-
cause they thought they were working with the real, awesome
Destroyer.
None of the agents or supervillains know exactly what Dr
Destroyer is up to, but they are aware that he has a rocket
which he wants to launch a satellite with, that will somehow
control people’s minds. What he wants to do with that and
how it works, they have no clue.
The agents also know who and how many supervillains are
on the island, but fear them and don’t want to make them
angry so will not volunteer any info about the villains.
 DR DESTROYER’S VILLA
From the outside, the Villa looks like a Spanish-styled manor
with white stucco walls and red tile roof. It has a huge garage
attached as big as the entire manor and is twice as tall. The
runway leads directly to the garage, and the wall of the garage
facing the runway has one very large gate 4m high across it.
An advanced attack helicopter of some unique design called
the Dragonfly ATH sits atop the flat roof of the garage.
All of the walls, ceilings, and floors are reinforced to 8 rPD,
10 rED, and 5 BODY per 2m area. Windows have 5 rPD, 5 rED,
and 2 BODY per 2m area. A patrol of ten agents moves
around the exterior so that there is never a time when any
agent does not have another in sight. Two additional agents
are posted at the main entrance and one at each of the two
rear entrances.
All of these agents are trained to shoot anyone they do not
know or have not been previously alerted to their presence.
They will behave as described in their character sheet in the
back of this adventure.
A night, lights are on the exterior illuminating the entire
area around the house at all times at night clearly to a dis-
tance of 20m.
Observation of the house over a period of hours reveals that
there is a lot more vehicle traffic and far, far more people
moving through, out of, and into the home than its exterior
could possibly contain. This is because Dr Destroyer’s Villa sits
atop a multi-leveled underground complex which the agents
and supervillains live and work within.
Inside the Villa, whatever the weather, it is a comfortable
temperature and well-lit. Automatic lights turn on when peo-
ple are inside a room and off when they leave unless com-
manded to stay on.
BLASTER TURRET: This is a simple 8d6 Blast (ED vs fire) with
5 shot Autofire that uses the AI’s OCV of 6 to target anyone
that they are able to shoot at and spot. If the camera (s) for
an area are disabled, the weapons are blind and will not fire.
LASER CAGES: These traps are set at several points inside
the complex that the AI controls. They are a series of overlap-
ping high-powered lasers which create a box shape around
the target in a 3m cubic area. The bottom area is harmless
unless the character attempts to break through the lasers in
some way.
Attempting to pass through the constantly moving laser grid
applies a 1d6 Armor Piercing energy Killing Attack 1d6 times
per segment. A character with shrinking can slip through the
openings by taking 1 fewer hit of the d6 per level of shrinking,
as can someone with stretching and a DEX roll at –1 per hit
the laser would affect the character. Thus the GM rolls when
the character tries to escape, dealing 1d6 hits to the victim. If
they roll their DEX Roll by more than the number of hits, they
suffer no damage and escape. If they roll under, they take the
difference in hits, and do not escape that phase.
Desolidification and teleportation escape the trap easily.
The generator for the cage (and cage its self) weighs 150kg
and is buried underground 1m with effectively an entangle of
4 PD 4 ED, and 3 BODY. To rip it free of the ground and hit it,
this entangle must be dealt with or tunneled through.
Any attack on the entangle its self has a form of “backlash”
from the laser field burning the person hitting it, which causes
the 1d6 energy KA Armor Piercing d6 hits each attempt to
break free.
Once exposed, the device need only take 4 BODY through its
6 PD and ED to be disabled enough to shut off the laser.

ENCOUNTERS IN THE VILLA

Unless stated specifically in an area, there will be no super-
villain encounters in the Villa (or if the GM specifically wants
them to happen). However, a lot of agents pass through, and
any time a PC enters a hallway there is an 10– chance of en-
countering d6 Destroyer Agents. This chance increases to 12–
in the Garage area.
Also there are agents in specific areas within the Villa, as
noted in the text.

INTERNAL SECURITY
CAMERAS: The AI has cameras in every room and one in
each hallway, and watches them all (give it an 11- perception
roll to notice someone enter a room, its fast but not so fast it
instantly sees everything all the time). There are no patrols of
agents within the Villa, although there are guards at a few
points and patrols outside. Since there are agents in the un-
derground area, it is a short d3 turns before squads of 5 each
can start showing up in the Villa from below if the AI calls for
any.
However, because the AI is hooked into EVERY security in-
stallation, camera, and weapon, a clever hacker can access it
at any of these points and use them to get into security.

12
AREAS WITHIN THE VILLA
1. Kitchen: A modern facility mostly made of stainless steel
and white tile. It has the usual amenities, including a huge
stove along one wall. This stove actually conceals a hidden
elevator to the lower levels of the complex by swinging up-
ward. This leads to one of Dr Destroyer’s secret access are-
as. There will be 1-2 non-combatant agents in this room at
any time between 6AM and 11 PM.
2. Pantry: foods are stored here for later preparation.
3. Living Room: A comfortable carpeted old-school room with
exotic animal heads mounted on the walls, sofas, over-
stuffed chairs, a fireplace, and so on. On an 8– chance, one
of the Supervillains will be relaxing in here watching the
huge flat screen TV or playing a video game on it. This will
usually be Panda, Raccoon, or Armadillo. If one is present,
then d6 agents will be there as well.
However, you may decide that an appropriate DNPC
might be here (one with special knowledge of rocketry or
technology, for example, kidnapped early in the adventure,
see “Complications” later in this adventure.
4. Dining Room: a huge table with 12 chairs around it domi-
nates this room, the head of the table featuring a throne-
like main chair. A large chandelier hangs over the table.
Note the Laser Trap. Destroyer, his guests, and supervillains
meet here to dine. Destroyer does not eat, of course, and
has not been present for several days. During dinner, d6
supervillains will be present (not Vibron or Hideous) but the
Villa has no other guests at present unless you put one here
such as the Doctor’s Mistress (see Complications).
5. Computer Room: this room is set up with several extremely
high-end computers, including a mainframe connected to
the island AI, and multiple video gaming setups. This room
is typically empty, as the Supervillains tend to be busy or
have other interests (or use the Living Room system).
Agents are denied access to the room. As a result it’s a
place that a hacker might be able to sneak into the systems.
This mainframe is where Dr Destroyer has tens of thousands
of pirated movies, television shows etc stored, along with
his extensive collection of opera and other classical music.
6. Entry Hall: This is a lavish wood-paneled old-school entry
room in gothic style with sculptures, paintings, and other art
as well as beautiful chandeliers and coat closets. At any
time there are two Destroyer Agents present who are very
well trained. They will immediately radio for backup if they
see anything unfamiliar, and are extremely skeptical of any
stories of deliveries or a new arrival.
Sharp-eyed and knowledgeable (successful KS history, art,
etc roll) PCs will spot two paintings which the Nazis stole
during their occupation of various nations in WW2 hanging
on the walls: treasures thought long-lost that museums and
nations of origin would delight in receiving. One is Raphael’s
“Portrait of a Young Man” and the other the Van Eyck mas-
terpiece “The Just Judges.” Raphael’s painting is easy to roll
up and transport but the Van Eyck is part of a large wooden
screen and is awkward to carry around. UNTIL would take
these into custody and handle the legal and other battles to
return them where they belong, but make sure the PCs get
the credit for their recovery.

7. The Master Bedroom: a beautiful gothic room with a huge
canopied bed dominating a room for an early 20th century
gentleman of great wealth. There is no lighting in this room,
the lone exception to the entire base. The bed looks as if it
has never been slept in (because it has not). There are no
mirrors in this room.
8. Guest Bedroom: Contains two beds and lavish furnishings
for guests. If a DNPC is here, this is where they are kept
when not eating or being used for their expertise. A De-
stroyer Agent will be on guard by the door if it is occupied.
9. Bathroom suite: a toilet and supplies are in the smaller
room, a bath, sink, and bathing supplies are in the larger
room. This is a common room used for the whole floor. For
humor, a Supervillain might be in here, using the facilities
when it is discovered.
10. Study: this richly decorated gothic room has dark wooden
paneling, lush carpeting, a huge desk, and bookshelves lin-
ing the walls. This room is always unoccupied, although
robot Dr Destroyer would spend hours in here, since it
would be the real Doctor Destroyer’s favorite room in the
house. Autoblasters are concealed in the corners of the
room (all four) and will pop out to destroy anyone on De-
stroyer’s or the AI’s command. They are all aimed so that
they cannot hit the bookshelves; this makes for an area by
the shelves which is safe from all fire.
This entire Study is an elevator which will lower to a simi-
lar space the floor beneath, with a command to the AI by
someone it is not hostile to. Without extensive demolition
of the walls or some sort of special sense, there’s no way of
knowing that the entire room is an elevator. Nobody in the
base except Destroyer is aware of this function.
The study also has a treasure in it: Michelangelo's Mask of
a Faun, a hideous marble carving of a face hanging on the
wall above and behind the desk. This was another treasure
the Nazis stole and was thought lost. See area 6 above for
details on lost treasures.
Michelangelo's Mask of a Faun
11. Garage: this huge area functions as a sort of hangar for
vehicles as well as maintenance and repair for them. A
huge elevator platform fits smoothly into the floor so that
only close examination (deliberately looking with a -1 sight
Perception roll or special senses) can spot it. This is used to
move vehicles from storage below to the garage for use on
the island.
There will be two hovercraft and two hoversleds in the
garage at any given time. There also will be d6+3 Agents
present at any time either loading on to or off of the hov-
ersleds, unloading cargo, standing around talking, etc. Also
here are d3+3 noncombatant mechanic agents working on
the hoversleds, washing vehicles, changing out power packs,
etc.
A rack of power packs which run the vehicles on the is-
land of Dr Destroyer’s design is along the north wall. They
are slightly radioactive (and glow in UV) but are harmless
unless damaged by a stray shot or deliberate attack. If 2
body is dealt to one, it will explode, doing 1d6 KA in a 5m
radius, and likely setting off the other 4d6 packs in the stor-
age, causing a chain explosion and damaging the villa.
The outside western hallway has a flat hexagonal floor
panel marked with a symbol like the map shows which low-
ers down into the ground to the first Underground Level at a
corresponding location. This one is the primary one that
agents use to move from their base to the surface, although
larger numbers will use the vehicle elevator.
An elevator and stairs inside the Garage lead up to the
roof where the Dragonfly helicopter is kept. A 1m fence
rings the rooftop, and there is a blaster turret on each cor-
ner of the room as well as one Destroyer Agent each guard-
ing the entries.
THE UNDERGROUND COMPLEX
Using mechanical and robotic devices, Dr Destroyer dug out
a massive underground complex to secretly house his opera-
tions. The walls are solid granite (5 PD, 10 ED, 13 BODY per
2m area) as are the floors and ceiling, but they are covered
with substances such as a rubberized tile walking surface on
the floor and a hanging tiled ceiling with lights and fire retard-
ant units.
These units will blanket a 5m radius (or hallway length) with
Dispel Fire 9d6 for a minute if any significant flame is detect-
ed. This will not go off if a character is on fire as part of their
build, but it will if someone sets off something like a fireball
spell or lights someone else on fire. The fire retardant units
have 12 1-minute shared charges before they run out of a
central reservoir for the entire level.
The floor gives a +1 to stealth rolls because it so quiet to
move on.
All of the walls, floor, and ceiling of the complex have been
imbued with a special radioactive material which renders
them impossible to use Desolidification to get through. This
same coating also stops the use of clairvoyance and teleporta-
tion through their surfaces.
Small dog-sized maintenance robots zip around the area on
little hover units, paying the PCs no attention whatsoever.
14
Each area is 3m in height uniformly in all rooms and corri-
dors unless otherwise noted.
THE HANGAR
This area is directly under the Doctor’s Villa on the surface.
However, it is 20m beneath the surface. This area is dedicated
to work and the vehicles of the Island.
Any new area entered, unless specified otherwise in that
area, there is a 11- chance of encountering 1d6 Destroyer
Agents, although up to half of them are non combatants like
lab techs, maintenance crew, and so on.
Any vehicles not in use or stored above are down in this
area either being worked on or just in mothballs until needed.
At least 2 of the 6-man carts used to move around the base
more rapidly are in here being repaired as well.
1. Corridor: This is the beginning of the corridor which runs
half a kilometer to the Launch Control Complex. The Corri-
dor is 10m tall and well-lit with regularly-spaced LED
lighting.
Each turn there is an 8- chance of a Hovercar running
down to here from the living quarters further down the cor-
ridor to the Northwest from here. It will have d6+1 Destroy-
er Agents on board headed to the Hangar area to move to
the surface for patrols. During inclement weather, there
may be d3 agents out of their armor and without a weapon
jogging along this corridor as a track, by GM discretion.
There is also an 8- chance each turn of a cart with d3
agents in it driving down the corridor as well, but these will
not be combatants.
2. Secret Access: This corridor runs from the secret access at
the kitchen and runs to the main corridor. The bulkhead is
easily opened and viewed from the inside, but is difficult to
spot (-2 sight PER if looking for it) and requires a keypad set
in the hallway to open (code 5150; the Agents do not know
it but the supervillains and AI do). If the AI has been
hacked, it will open the door as well. The lock is -3 for elec-
tronics to “pick”.
3. Laboratories: These rooms are Dr. Destroyer’s personal la-
boratories. They contain racks of equipment, tables, lockers
with samples of substances and chemicals, scanners, a small
MRI machine, a Scanning Electron Microscope, a Mass Spec-
trometer, and similar types of devices. Each functions as a
lab for physics, chemistry, engineering, and biology com-
bined, so any skill done here gains a +2 to the skill roll.
There is a curious cube-like device in the northern room
about the size of a basketball. This is a Construction Matrix,
an invention of Dr Destroyer that he uses to build lairs.
With raw materials, it can construct any inputted base using
standard 3d printing coding. It takes a day to produce a
structure of 100 square feet, building the entire thing from
any raw materials. The Matrix has 2d6 charges of a day
each.
The door to this room is locked, with a keypad on it like
the one that leads to area 2 above (and the same code).
Destroyer Agents are forbidden from entering the room
except under direct orders.
R: A small washroom and toilet
4. Lower Study: this is where the Villa study lowers to when its
elevator is activated.
5. Computer Laboratory: This lab is where Dr Destroyer does
repairs, upgrades, and maintenance on himself. He also
uses this room along with some other techs (who are not
present when he works on himself) to maintain, upgrade,
and repair the various computers and AI interfaces set in
devices around the Island.
In this lab is a very crude and early version of the base AI
called Jeremiah which Dr Destroyer replaced and set aside.
It is in the form of a liquid cooled suitcase in a locked safe (-
5 to pick the lock, the safe is 10 PD, 15 ED, 4 BODY). It can
be carried out by hand, although it weighs 75kg, and studied
or even used to create a new AI. GMs may wish to use it as
some kind of back door or later adventure when Dr Destroy-
er takes control of it.
6. Bio Laboratory: The door here is sealed shut with a keypad
(code 9675) lock both in the room and outside by the door
that locks automatically when anyone goes in or out. The
keypads must be used to get in or out. A forcefield across
the door destroys any biological material smaller than a
micron on the outside of anything that moves through it.
This is where Destroyer and his lab techs test biological
materials, work on virii and biological weapons, examine
specimens collected around the world, and so on. Any very
unusual captured superhero that is alien or of extremely
strange physiology (like a shapeshifting amoeba) will be put
into a 2m x 1m tube with 8 PD, 8 ED, 2 BODY walls, for later
study.
7. Storage: This is the main storage for the labs, with replace-
ment parts for various devices, test tubes, rubber hoses,
clamps, rubber gloves, masks, biohazard suits, and every-
thing else that a lab might need to keep functioning.
8. Hangar: This area is where the various vehicles not in use or
readiness for use are stored. A large elevator in the south-
west corner raises and lowers vehicles to the garage, above.
At any given time there are ten Hoversleds and one hover-
craft stored here. Also stored here are racks of parts for the
vehicles, including panels for repairs to the exteriors.
There will be d6 non combatant techs and mechanics pre-
sent in the Hangar area at any given time.
9: Cart Storage. The small electric powered 6-man carts used
to move around in the complex are stored and recharged
here. At any given time there will be d3+3 carts in various
degrees of charge. Each weighs 700kg, has 8 BOD, 5 PD, and
7 ED.
READY COMPLEX
1. The Corridor: The huge corridor continues to here, through
this section, and on to Launch Control from the Hangar, still
10m tall and 12m wide.
Each turn there is an 8- chance to encounter a Hovercar
here on its way up to pick up agents, or loading them on to
carry them down to the Hangar. When on its way back,
there will just be 1 Destroyer Agent in full armor driving the
vehicle, but if loading up, there will be 4d6+1 Destroyer
Agents on board or waiting to climb on.
15
During inclement weather, there may be d3 agents out of
their armor and without a weapon jogging long this corridor
as a track, by GM discretion.
Note the location of two Autoblasters and three Laser
Cages in the corridor of this area. Also, there are huge bulk-
head doors which close if a Red Alert has been called by the
AI or the launch is about to happen. These bulkheads are
the same toughness and construction as the walls, including
the properties of blocking desolidification, teleportation,
and so on. They can be opened with a keypad on either side
of each bulkhead with the code 3988 which only the Offic-
ers, Dr Destroyer, the AI, and the supervillains know.
2. Storage: These rooms have a 6m interior height and are
filled with crates, boxes, barrels, and so on. They are filled
with rocket components, food, video games, repair supplies,
extra furniture and all the other things necessary to run a
large complex. Automated robotic forklifts are parked in-
side near the doors, and the lights in these rooms are usual-
ly turned off. The AI has no camera in these rooms.
3. Rec Room: This room is 4m high inside, well lit, and has a
wide variety of entertainments for agents and supervillains
when off duty. There are gaming consoles, pool tables, dart
boards, ping pong, couches, a huge wall TV tied into the AI’s
video library, books, and so on. At any given time day or
night there will be 3d6 agents in this room. On an 8– there
will be one of the Supervillains (usually Panda or Raccoon)
in here as well.
4. Agent Ready Room: This is where all agents who are on du-
ty but not actively patrolling stay 12 per room. They primar-
ily await an alert to scramble out and deal with security is-
sues. The rooms are furnished with very basic military-style
bunk beds, steel tube chairs, and desks. A small restroom is
attached to each side.
5. Detention Center: This long hallway has the equipment to
run twelve 2m cubic force field cells the northwest side of
the hallway. Each cell is an isolated field, a Barrier of 15 PD,
15 ED, and 1 BODY defense. The Barrier blocks both tele-
portation and desolidification, with only the ceiling and floor
uncovered by the field. When not in use, the fields are not
active, but the square areas on the floor that they enclose
are clearly visible.
A drain on the floor lets out liquids, and an air vent in the
ceiling lets in air. Each vent has a thick metal screen the
same durability as the walls with gaps 5mm across, and it
leads into the main corridor as part of a ventilation system
used throughout the entire base. A tiny enough character
could in theory use this to move to anywhere in the under-
ground area, or into the sewer system.
Any captured PCs or formerly captured people that the
PCs are looking for (DNPCs, Kitesurfer dude from the intro,
Gyro Jim on a story, previous UNTIL Agents who tried to
infiltrate, etc) will be held in this area. Food is served to
them from the Cafeteria twice per day by deactivating a
small section near the floor which a tray is slid through.
THE MAIN CORRIDOR
Halfway between the Villa and the launch point under the
rock outcropping is this occupied area around the main corri-
dor. It is 237m from this section to either section: The Hangar
and Launch Control.
This section is similarly 20m underground and has the same
physical properties and construction as the Hangar, above.
The main difference is that on either end of the main central
corridor (1 below) there is a bulkhead that seals the area.
1. Agent Dormitories: These rooms house Dr Destroyer’s 200
mercenaries. The rooms are furnished with very basic mili-
tary-style bunk beds, steel tube chairs, and desks. A com-
munal shower and lavatory is connected to each dorm area.
1a. Showers and Restrooms: this area is where communal
coed showers and toilet areas are housed. If the Gm wants,
2d6 agents will be in the shower area at any given time.
2. Officer Quarters: Each of these rooms houses three officers,
and has storage for their equipment, desks, and a small rec
room and kitchen.
3. Worker Dormitories: Each of these rooms houses fifteen
worker non-combat agents. The rooms have bunks, desks,
and a small dinette and attached shower/restroom.
4. Cafeteria and Kitchen: These rooms are filled with circular
tables, steel chairs, vending machines microwave ovens,
and a section in the back with robotic chefs cooking ade-
quate, nutritious, if bland food. Working with the chefs will
be 3 non combat agents and in the cafeteria there will be
from 5d6 agents eating at any given time, depending on the
time of day, and GM whim. This place is never empty, at all
times someone will come in for some food.
The Supervillains eat here as well, and the GM can put a
few in here if they aren’t busy elsewhere, but only if they
want another combat encounter with supervillains. Even
the agents might not have their armor and gear on, and if so
should be treated as non-combatants.
5. Weapon Lockers: These rooms have all the weapons for
agents that are not in use. There are more than enough of
all weapons for replacing every Agent’s arsenal several
times. Only officers and Dr. Destroyer have the code for this
room (5143).
6. Supervillain quarters: Each of these suites is built to house
each of the supervillains on the island. There are ten total,
but only up to 8 will be in use and potentially fewer, based
on the number of PCs involved. Each is structurally identical
with a bed/study room, bath/shower, and storage room.
Each villain has their own specific room decoration and inte-
rior. A key card and code (different for each room) will open
the locked hall door. Each door has the name of the villain.
A: Armadillo’s Room. This area is very plain and utilitarian,
with a special rack to hold the armor and a workbench for
working on it, as well as racks for spare grenades (empty).
B: Hideous’ Room. Dark and spare, with little in it but some
ragged clothing and a very large heavily reinforced bed.
C: Lazer’s Room. This looks like an army barracks, very
spare, clean, well organized, and very green. The only
thing out of place is a table with tools, parts, and scrib-
bled notes mostly about the jerks who designed his weap-
on that makes it so hard to work on.
16
D: Panda and Raccoon’s Room. The only room with a queen
-size bed. The room is very homey with books, a tiny
kitchen set up in a corner, stuffed chairs, etc.
E: Sledge’s Room. Looks like a high school athlete’s room
with posters of sports stars on the wall, big screen TV on
and tuned to ESPN, sports memorabilia, trophies, etc on
shelves, and generally messy.
F: Vibron’s Room. Very oddly decorated in alien style, with
a bed and a chair that does not look remotely comforta-
ble to human physiology and books in a language no one
reads.
G: Wyvern’s Room. Almost empty, with a perch rather than
a bed, and no interior doors. There are multiple scratches
deep into the stone on the walls.
H: Empty, unused suite. Locked with a keypad using the
same code for each: 9999.
7. Fabrication Areas: These rooms are dominated by large 3d
printers and worktables for building anything the base
might need. There are lathes, drills, shapers, a couple of
industrial CNC metal fabrication units, and tools all along
the walls in racks and on pegboards.
The fabrication rooms are usually quiet, although the GM
may decide that they needed to make a few things and this
means that d6 lab techs (non combatant agents) are in the
room working on something while 2 Destroyer Agents are
outside keeping intruders away and guarding equipment.
8. Assembly Area: These rooms contain large tables, hoists,
and welding rigs for assembling the missile, as well as pretty
much anything else the base might need. The bulk of the
room is made up of the assembly and the rest has racks and
tables for storage. This room is lit but unoccupied and
closed, without anything in progress.
9. Electronic Testing: These rooms contain scopes, digital test-
ers, and various other equipment for checking and repairing
electrical equipment, including weapons, hoversled engines,
and the various devices around the island.
There are two communication pads (essentially dedicated
smartphones) in this room for repair. These are the radio
units the agents use to communicate, but they also have
maps of the island (and base) and act as a smartphone, alt-
hough there is no coverage for normal phone use on the
island.
With an electronics roll by 2 and 10 minutes, a character
can repair each of these and use them, since they have no
security on them yet, and more importantly they aren’t
tagged for GPS following by the AI yet either. This will allow
them to listen in on conversations and use them for infor-
mation on the island (treat it as a KS Island of Dr Destroyer
11- for any questions, but it does not contain any infor-
mation that you as the GM do not wish them to know).
10. Computer Testing: these rooms contain terminals for the
AI, testing equipment and tools and racks of spare parts for
checking the computer components and terminals around
the Island. There will be 1d6 non-combat techs in this room
during the day, but at night it is closed and the lights are off.
 There are notes here on a thumb drive which contain the-
oretical ideas and schematics for an upgraded neural inter-
face. Any character with a suit of power armor or other
similar tech that is controlled mentally can use this to help
spend xps to make something better on their character.
Characters can use this room to contact the AI by making
a Computer Programming roll at -3 due to security and re-
mote access. This can then be used to hack the AI as de-
tailed on page 23.
The doors to the Fabrication Rooms are usually locked,
with a key card entry system the AI can override. Workers
have key cards on them that let them into these rooms.
11. Nuclear Engine Testing: This room contains engine stands,
fuel tanks, radiation suits, radiation isolated areas with wal-
does for manipulating objects within, and radiation indica-
tor badges. It will be empty as well.
If the GM desires there is an isotope in a shielded box
here which can be used for a radiation accident at some
future point or just a +2 to research and study into radiation
and nuclear devices in a lab.
12. Biolab: This has not seen much use, as biology is not an
area of particular interest to Dr Destroyer (although he has
a doctorate in it). The room has basic biology equipment,
some bio storage units, an MRI machine, a CAT scanner,
several stations for experimenting in a sealed environment,
etc.
Included in the supplies is a vial of mutagen with notes in
a closed and sealed case. Dr Destroyer developed it as a
potential device to create or modify mutants but aban-
doned the concept years ago. It can be used to either cause
a radiation accident or help a PC spend experience points in
the same manner as the Computer Testing Lab notes, in
area 7.
Also here is a one-shot Stimulant Pen which can be used
to inject a character. This stimulant is in a box with some
documentation (it also has a QR Code on the box that can
be used for the info). When used, the Stimulant heals all
STUN and END on the character to full and wakes them up
from any level of unconsciousness.
13. Hypnoray Satellite Testing: This room contains lab animals
and electronic equipment as well as some very strange look-
ing devices which are the hypnoray simulators. A character
with electronics or cybernetics skill roll by 3 can figure out
what these things do and even use them on the animals to
do simple things (only what a rat or snake could do), but the
devices are immobile and non functional if moved. They
also will not function on a higher mind such as a human.
The techs were using this room to check and perfect Dr
Destroyer’s Hypnoray designs and also use it to repair and
adjust cybernetic links in the Destroyer Agent suits that let
them activate things in their uniform such as the shielding
that protects the Communication Pad on their arm when
not in use. There are no notes or useful information in this
room. Because of the cybernetic work, this room might
contain d6 non combat Agents in the daytime, working on a
suit or a device.
17
However, it also has a side effect that causes a ½d6 drain
to END every 6 segments, 5 times. This drained END recov-
ers once per minute.
The stimulant must be used on skin or through cloth, it
will not work through any material with any resistant de-
fenses
14. Tool Lockers: Spare tools and machinery are stored here
for use, including backups for most tools in the various labs
and workshops.
15: Physical Plant: This area has an incinerator, docking for the
various maintenance droids that keep the place clean and
neat, and sanitation supplies. Also here is a well that leads
to an underground cave which eventually heads out to sea
from a spring, all in caves underground. The distance is 2.5
km, and there is no air whatsoever. The exit cave is obscure
and 1300m deep in the ocean which is at a very unpleasant
pressure level (130 atmospheres).
It is not impossible that some aquatic PC will try to find an
entrance into the Island using underwater caves, and alt-
hough the odds of happening upon it are very slim, the GM
might allow them to find this security breach/back door into
the base.
LAUNCH CONTROL
This is the brains of the Island of Dr Destroyer, with controls
for the AI, the rocket launch rom, and the missile its self. The
main area of interest for the adventure! This is where Dr De-
stroyer is preparing to launch his mighty weapon and execute
his scheme! This is where all is revealed! Exclamation Point!
1. Missile Silo: The rocket, with its hypnoray satellite at the
top, is set up in this silo. The silo is heavily reinforced and
sealed, but sections of transparent aluminum pattern are on
the control side of the silo so Dr Destroyer can see inside.
On either side of the silo, halfway up its 60m height, are
vents which lead to the outside. These vents will only open
from the inside and are so indistinguishable from the rocky
ridge the are built into that only someone who looks specifi-
cally for them in the right areas, and makes a sight percep-
tion roll by -3 will spot them. Obviously, any special sense
such as “Detect manmade work” or some kind of penetra-
tive vision can spot the vent channels. When the rocket
launches, these 1m square vents open 6 segments before
the engines fire.
Anyone caught in the vents, directly before them, or in-
side the silo when the launch happens, are subjected to
15d6 energy (radiation) damage per segment for up to 12
straight segments of effect (or as long as they stand in the
blast) and are also irradiated to an incredible degree by the
nuclear engine of the rocket. This will tend to incinerate
any character but the GM may have pity and just treat it as
a “radiation accident” type power origin.
The rocket has two sections, a thinner atop a fatter one.
Each section is 8 PD, 10 ED, and 8 BODY separately. The fat
lower section is the engines, which have enough launch
power to blast the rocket out of the atmosphere and into
high orbit.
 If this section is destroyed, the nuclear engine will deto-
nate, dealing a 10d6 killing attack with a 10km explosion
radius (losing 1d6 KA per 1km distant from the center). This
will annihilate the island and all living on it, and likely any
superheroes caught in the blast. Radiation will scatter wind-
ward for hundreds of kilometers. Surviving heroes will be in
deep trouble from UNTIL and the media for nuking the
ocean.
The upper section contains the hypnoray satellite, as well
as a more conventional engine for maneuvering it into
place. It can be destroyed safely.
If the rocket is launched, it will be stationary 1 segment,
filling the silo with radioactive fire, then move upward at
20m per segment until it reaches high atmosphere, then
slow to lose momentum and stop at high orbit with maneu-
vering rockets. The rocket has no handles or areas to grab
hold of while flying through the air, and pushes with 40 STR
of wind pressure and vibration to dislodge anyone clinging
to the side. While in flight, the rocket has 8 DCV.
Inside the silo before launching are several crawler robots
doing basic maintenance, checking connections and such,
which are noncombatant, the size of small dogs, and ignore
the PCs.
The Silo seal at the top is just as hard to find as the vents,
and is held shut with 30 STR from the outside. If this hatch
is jammed shut, the rocket will automatically abort launch.
2. Silo Access: this vault-like door is 2m across and screwed
into the side of the silo with multiple magnetic and physical
seals to prevent it opening under any circumstances.
3. Launch Control: This bank of controls is a series of screens,
monitors, radios, and other basic equipment for the use of
various techs who work at it to facilitate the launch. There
will be 4 non combatant agents here working the launch
and coordinating with the AI and outdoor to make sure the
area is clear. Dr Destroyer doesn’t care, but his techs do.
The console has 7 PD, 10 ED, and 10 BODY to destroy
enough that they cannot launch the rocket. However, at six
segments before the launch, the rocket goes on automatic
and the console is unnecessary. And, of course, Dr Destroy-
er’s Master Console can still launch the rocket.
4. Reactor Control Console: The main operations control for
the nuclear reactor. The console has 7 PD, 10 ED, and 10
BODY to destroy like the launch control one at 2. 1 non
combatant agent is operating this console, as he only needs
to monitor the status of the reactor and confirm its properly
fueling the rocket.
5. Missile Fueling Console: This console controls the fueling
the reactor from the monatomic hydrogen tank (x). There
are two non combatant agents working this console, just
monitoring pressure and flow.
6. Dr Destroyer’s Console: This console can monitor the entire
Island, showing all images from the entire security system.
It also duplicates all functions of the fueling and launch con-
trol consoles 3, 4, and 5. This is also the physical location of
the base AI.
18
From this console, Dr
Destroyer may person-
ally fire any of the
weapons on the island
(at his DEX and Speed)
and issue orders to any
of the agents or super-
villains on the island.
The console is 12 PD,
15 ED, and requires 15
BODY to destroy.
Dr Destroyer will be
at this console when
the PCs arrive, prep-
ping for the launch.
7. Nuclear Reactor: the
power core for the
entire base, as well as
a charge for the rocket.
This powers everything
on the island except
robots, all personal
battery-powered items
and vehicles. It recharges all the batteries and vehicles on
the island.
A special breeder reactor of Destroyer’s own design, it
can be shut down in a turn with internal controls but that
exposes the character to massive radiation (see radiation in
Champions Complete). Once shut down, everything on the
base goes to 1-hour limited battery power, all sensors and
weapons shut down, all recharging stations stop charging,
all non-portable entertainment devices shut off, and lights
are dimmed to half power. This is treated as a 7 level Secu-
rity Event by the AI, who now is on 1-hour battery power as
well.
For the rocket to launch, it must be fed power for 24 sec-
onds by the nuclear reactor. If that is interrupted, the rock-
et bleeds energy and must be recharged the full amount,
until it is fully charged, it cannot launch.
The reactor will not “melt down” nor does it require ex-
tensive time to start up again, its basically on a switch. The
entry area is a sealed lock, the interior doors will not open
unless destroyed or the exterior doors are closed. Radiation
suits are in the entry area which take a minute to don
properly, gaining Life Support vs radiation. Anything in the
reactor core suffers 1d6 KA NND (life support vs radiation)
damage every 6 segments while exposed. It takes a phase
to find the controls and a phase to manipulate them to shut
down the reactor (open a cover and pull the lever).
8. Security Console: this is where two Destroyer Agents work,
viewing the cameras the AI is monitoring, coordinating
agent actions, and checking weapon and camera status.
The AI takes care of almost all of these operations, but ironi-
cally, Dr Destroyer does not trust it and wants human back-
up. Mostly they do monitor duty, and chat with the agents
over the com system.
9. Monatomic Hydrogen Tank: This is filled with hydrogen in a
supercooled state. Like the nuclear reactor, this must fuel
the Rocket before it can take off. For the rocket to launch, it
must be fed power for 24 seconds by the fuel tank, but un-
like the reactor, this is incremental, so if shut off, it only
needs to finish the remaining time of fueling unless some-
how breeched.
If the tank is destroyed (8 PD, 8 ED, 4 BODY) it will ex-
plode dealing 4d6 killing energy fire damage to everything in
the launch center not sealed off (such as the reactor or rock-
et). If the supercooling is shut off or damaged, it will case
fueling and be unable to fuel the rocket until repaired.
10. Bulkhead: This door is like the ones in the Hallway earlier,
which shuts when a Red Alert is sounded, or when the
launch is within a minute. Two Destroyer Agents stand
guard at the door on the outside at all times.
When the bulkhead closes, it takes 3 segments to com-
pletely shut. The bulkhead is the same toughness and con-
struction as the walls, including the properties of blocking
desolidification, teleportation, and so on. It can be opened
with a keypad on either side of each bulkhead with the code
1939 which only the Officers, Dr Destroyer, the AI, and the
supervillains know. Two laser Cages are set up inside the
room as indicated. There are no other security devices or
weapons in the launch room its self. Dr Destroyer needs no
other defensive gadgets.
19
THE FINAL SCENE
Ideally, the final, climactic scene of this adventure takes
place in the launch room with Dr Destroyer facing down the
hero team. There will be little in the way of agent support by
this point if the PCs have done their job properly or been even
halfway intelligent. A really capable team will have turned the
AI against the agents and shut the bulkheads down to stop
interference.
However, as any GM knows, you can never tell how players
are going to do things. They might try to find the missile silo
and block it off, forcing Destroyer to deal with that. They
might hack into the computer and have it shut off the launch
or sabotage it. They might decide this is a fine time to vaca-
tion in Aruba. You can never tell what players are going to
take it into their minds to do, all you can do is plan for what is
most likely to happen.
In most cases, the PCs will follow the “dungeon” trail to the
final “boss room” and fight Destroyer there, because that’s
what most players have been trained to do by video games.
The design of this module presumes it.
At some point in the adventure it is likely that the AI has
sent at least one small sub-group of supervillains to face the
PCs. However, unless those villains were incapacitated for the
long term, captured, convinced to at least stop helping De-
stroyer or (hopefully not) killed, then they can show up again
later.
Some PCs might even use the prison section to store villains
in, if they have control of or can manipulate the AI.
IDEALLY
If things go according to design, the end fight looks like this:
Destroyer is found at his console, facing the PCs (or if dramati-
cally possible, with his back to them, but begins to monologue
them while they approach as if he’s always been completely
aware of what they are doing and where they are). The few
armed agents attack and are easily dealt with, while Destroyer
talks to the PCs. See The Monologue, below.
As he finishes monologueing, any hench villains who are still
active and around arrive because he’s used his mind link to
the AI to tell them to come to the launch control room. De-
stroyer goes back to work as the PCs fight the supervillains
around the room. As much as possible, Destroyer should ig-
nore the PCs, because he’s that arrogant, and powerful. If
anyone interferes with him, have him use a powerful attack on
them, or slap them aside with his immense strength, then go
on working behind his Force Wall.
The PCs will, probably, try to pile on him and ignore the su-
pervillains because he’s the biggest threat and if he goes
down the supervillains don’t have a boss any more. But as
much as possible, use the supervillains to focus on the PCs and
antagonize/trouble them so much they cannot be ignored.
They have orders to keep people from bothering Destroyer
and all fear him, so they will do their best to keep the PCs
away.
Once the last villains are going down or are out, Destroyer
will turn on the PCs and cut loose with his considerable pow-
er.
REALITY
It probably won’t work out like that, but as much as possible
try to make it a classic final confrontation scene, because the
scenario needs several things to happen.
First, it needs Destroyer to explain what the heck he is do-
ing, although a hacker could get it out of the AI or they could
learn from notes on the Master Console after the fight. Plus
the Players are probably curious and this is such a typical bit
they are likely to hold off to find out.
Second, Destroyer needs to seem frighteningly powerful
and live up to his reputation, at least at some level.
Third, most of this chapter will have been sneaking, fact
finding, small skirmishes with agents, and exploring. A big
fight will be satisfying to everyone and reward the build up.
Fourth, Destroyer needs to monologue and fill in all the
blanks, to explain just how evil and awful the plan is, which
then makes the actions of the PCs that much more heroic!
Fifth, it feels more like a comic book, and that’s what we’re
trying to simulate here!
So wherever the confrontation happens, it should as much
as possible follow the above sequence and basic structure.
DR DESTROYER’S SOLILOQUY
As much as possible, Destroyer should have a powerful,
impressive voice and a slight German accent. He shouldn’t
sound like he barely speaks English, the robot was built by
Zerstoien, who speaks dozens of languages and lived in North
America for decades. But he should sound like he came from
Germany originally and is proud of it. If you can use some
kind of electronic modulation to make your voice deeper and
slightly mechanical, that would be a bonus.
Otherwise, he is absolutely certain of what he doing, with-
out the slightest shred of doubt or concern, he is completely
confident and arrogant; Destroyer is not able to even start to
doubt or question himself.
The PCs will probably interrupt, mock, or try to distract De-
stroyer. He’s having none of that. To him these are less than
gnats, they don’t even rise to the level of annoyance. Their
mockery is like a worm mocking the sun: beneath contempt.
“I see you have chosen the path of misery, as so
many have before you. So be it. None of you are
intellectually capable of comprehending my full plan,
so let me put it in terms that even someone of your
mean capacity is able to grasp.
No doubt you believe you know what I am accom-
plishing here. Allow me to enlighten you. This device
does, in fact, manipulate mental processes so that
they become weakened and easily suggestible, but
only to me. How this is accomplished is so far be-
yond your meager abilities as to be tedious to ex-
plain.
You perhaps believe I plan on using this satellite to
enslave the planet to my will. Someone of your lim-
ited cerebral capacity would believe this as possible
or even desirable with a single satellite. I have nei-
ther the desire or the equipment to carry out such a
scheme.
20
No, what your simple intellect cannot know until
enlightened is that I simply desire to control what
areas the satellite covers, as it rotates around the
globe. It will pass only over the northern hemisphere,
impacting a band of approximately 10 degrees north
to 60 degrees north, with a width equivalent to the
breadth of North America.
As the satellite passes over, it will command all
within it to obey and submit to my will, to worship
and praise me, and to spend their every hour in obei-
sance using all of their skills to glorify the name of
Destroyer in such capacity as their wretched ability
permits. Songs, sculptures, paintings, graffiti, poems,
social media posts, whatever they are capable of.
You are capable of.
Further, any perceived slights, or slackening of wor-
ship, any insufficient efforts as perceived individually
shall be punishable by death. A wife thinks that a
husband’s poem is too weak or insincere. Death. A
father thinks his daughter’s painting is too amateur-
ish. Death.
Any work to undo this, stop the satellite, protect
anyone from the effects or otherwise interfere with
this period will be met with destruction and death.
An attempt to build a rocket when not controlled will
be met with destruction and the deaths of the build-
ers later.
Then, when the satellite passes on, the realization
of all that the subjugated lesser peoples of the world
have done and experienced will sink into their psyche.
They will see the blood on their hands. They will real-
ize the chaos and lack of productivity. They will feel
remorse and regret.
All of the earth’s northern hemisphere will experi-
ence periods of madness and realization, of absolute
subjugation and then the cold, harsh reality of their
weakness and foul deeds.
The regularity of these times will vary. The satel-
lite’s nuclear power pack allows it to increase or de-
crease its speed, at random. No one will know when
to prepare or when the time will come. Perhaps
hiding in sufficient depth or under certain substanc-
es might protect from the satellite. But for how long
must one stay, how many can gather in these areas?
And the ones affected will seek out and destroy
those who try to cower from my might.
Then, when the madness seems it will destroy the
minds and souls of the world, when the blood of
family, friends, and neighbors has soaked to their
elbows, I shall reach out to them to make it all stop,
to return to normal, to end the madness and give
them their lives back.
All they will need to do is kneel. And, of course,
should not enough kneel or too much resistance
arise, the satellite can turn back on. All will submit,
and those who choose not to will be ruined, shamed,
or slain by those who do. After all, what is freedom
compared to safety, comfort, and stability?
 Whether the hypnoray can do what Destroyer claims or not,
clearly it is something the heroes will want to stop.
HOW TO STOP THE LAUNCH
Ultimately the goal of the PCs is not to fight Dr Destroyer,
but to stop the rocket from launching. Whatever it is, its bad
for Destroyer to get into the air. There are a few ways to get
this done.
1. Destroy the controls. Without any ability to control the
rocket, then it cannot be launched. Even for a mind like De-
stroyer, putting a satellite into orbit is very complicated and
difficult. The controls for the rocket are all in the Launch Cen-
ter, of course, which is heavily guarded and the deepest point
of the complex. To make matters worse, the controls are dou-
ble redundancy, so both sets must be disabled, so this is a
challenge.
GMs should note here that the controls for the rocket are
not connected to the AI; it can assist with the math and infor-
mation from sensors, but it cannot control or stop the launch
directly no matter how well hacked. Destroying the consoles
delays launch for a day, assuming anyone is on the island to
make repairs and Destroyer is still around to direct it.
2. Destroy the Rocket. This is less than ideal, since it might
cause the rocket to explode nuking the island and probably
killing all the PCs, plus causing a tidal wave and radiation
cloud. However, if only the top of the rocket is destroyed or
damaged beyond immediate repair, the launch is stopped.
This can be done in the air as its launched, but will be difficult
with how rapidly the rocket moves.
3. Stop the Fueling. Easier than previous steps, all it re-
quires is blockage in the fueling lines, shutting down the reac-
tor, destroying the fuel supplies, or destroying the fueling con-
sole. Again, this can be repaired in a day, but it does prevent
launch temporarily.
4. Seal the Silo. This is challenging, since the silo is very well
disguised (see area 1 in Launch Control), but can be done with
anything that defeats the 30 STR hydraulics on the silo cover.
An entangle, a collapse of the rocks into the silo, something
very big and heavy dumped on top of it (several of the vehi-
cles, for instance), or anything of that nature can stop the silo
from opening, and entirely halt the launch until it can be
cleared. Unless someone actively prevents clearage, it should
be taken care of in d6 hours.
5. Sabotage Launch Control. There are a few ways to do
this. Someone could hack or order the AI to report high winds
or excessive precipitation, which would stop the launch
(everyone inside Launch control is so deep and isolated, they
just assume the AI tells the truth about weather — except
Destroyer, who can see all the sensors and will be able to tell
if its actually hailing softball sized ice or not). Someone could
dress as a Destroyer tech and mess with the settings on launch
control, messing up the fuel mix, or reporting a flaw that isn’t
real, or even ordering the silo door to stay closed.
GMs should allow for player creativity here, there are a lot
of clever ways to mess with the launch. If they seem remotely
plausible, or at least entertaining enough, they should be al-
lowed.
21
6. Convince Destroyer Not To Launch. This is probably the
most difficult because Destroyer is vastly arrogant, absolutely
certain, and incredibly powerful. It would take a truly
astounding argument, trickery of the most sublime imaginable
kind, or some device the GM does not expect to pull this off.
But it is theoretically possible, at least in some remote sense.
7. Beat everyone up. This is the most likely device used by
the PCs. If everyone is dead, unconscious, or in custody, they
cannot launch anything. The bonus is that it doesn’t require
any careful planning or skill.
And, of course, there’s always the possibility that the PCs
will come up with something entirely different. If so, then you
as the GM need to find a reasonable, genre-appropriate way
to handle it that leads to entertainment for all involved.
THE SECRETS OF DR DESTROYER
Now, experienced Champions players and those who know
the Champions universe will sense something isn’t quite right
with the bad Doctor. For one thing he’s not as powerful as he
should be — he’s really powerful, but not ridiculously so like in
the 6th edition write up.
Second, he looks different, like an older suit of armor. It’s
the kind of armor he wore in the 80s, not the modern, more
sleek and regal looking suit.
And finally, he’s using older tech and his agents are not as
tricked out as the more modern ones. They are even wearing
old Destroyer livery. Its like a step back in time.
And that is because as mentioned earlier, Destroyer is a
robot, he is not the real Dr Destroyer. He is one of an un-
known number of robot versions Destroyer built decades ago
to take over and carry out his schemes if he was incapacitated
or unable to act for a period of time. And so, this one is run-
ning an old scheme. It might even be a scheme that Dr De-
stroyer already ran in the 1980s in your campaign, a repeat!
If this Destroyer is defeated, under the armor is not an older
German gentleman with scientifically advanced vigor and
strength, but just more technology, a very sophisticated an-
droid. If this is destroyed, it won’t come back. Of course
some PCs might want to take it home and experiment with or
study the chassis...
BUT WHAT IF
Alternately, here’s another approach: its Mechanon, with a
slightly weaker, earlier chassis in the form of Dr Destroyer.
Why? Well, perhaps he wants to discredit Destroyer and
weaken the remnants of his organization. Perhaps he’s just
trying to collect data on the superhero team and this was a
way of getting it, and maybe even succeeding by taking over
the world. Perhaps it’s just been damaged and is running an
old program based on archives—it really thinks it is Dr De-
stroyer!
What if Mechanon thought it could take over Destroyer’s
place in the world by posing as him, attracting the money,
power, servants, and gain his secrets by getting access to are-
as it doesn't know about yet? Its up to you, as the GM
 EVEN MORE COMPLICATED
In addition to possibilities noted in the writeup above, such
as DNPCs being present, here are a few variants that you can
consider adding into the scenario.
THE SPY
UNTIL managed to get a man to infiltrate the base, and he
got pretty far until he was caught. Now he’s in area 15 of the
Main Corridor section, in a detention cell. His name is Jason
Chang, originally from Manchuria and he’s in fine health, just
stripped down to his skivvies and without any equipment.
Jason knows a lot. He knows what Dr Destroyer is trying to
do, having gotten an earlier monologue (but make sure he
never gets the chance to quite tell it — he starts to tell them
about they hyporay which will mind control the world, but
then agents attack or something interrupts and he never gets
to finish). He knows pass codes to all the areas. He knows
which supervillains are on the island and what abilities they
have. He can fly a helicopter, even the weird gyro coper in
this scenario.
THE DOCTOR’S MISTRESS
The Doctor has a world-class stunning bae from Russia
named Natasha Alexandrovna. She is 24 years old with green
eyes, strawberry blonde hair, 2 levels of Striking Appearance,
and she’s bored. She thought the Doctor had returned to get
her from her dull life she had to return to once he disap-
peared, but he’s different somehow and seems to mostly ig-
nore her. He hasn’t touched her since she was rejoined to her
Zerstoien.
She’s not keen on his plan to control the world and wishes
they could just retire to a nice island somewhere. So she will
help them destroy the hypnoray. However, she will not help
them harm the doctor in any way, and will turn traitor against
them should they plan on it or try it. Natasha doesn’t have
any skill with weapons (other than her sizzling body) but she
does have limited AI access, and can order it to ignore the PCs
on its security sensors, knows the bulkhead passcodes, and
can be found in area 7 (Master Bedroom) of the Villa.
THE TURNCOAT
The PCs might be able to convince at least one of the villains
that they don’t really want to be subject to Destroyer’s hyp-
noray. Some are utterly impossible to reach this way: Hide-
ous, Vibron, and Wyvern. Some will be very difficult to reach,
because they are ready for tricks, psyops, and generally being
lied to by prisoners and opponents, so it would take a Persua-
sion roll by 3, a +10 Presence Roll, or otherwise good skill rolls,
plus a very good argument to flip Armadillo and Lazer.
However, Panda, Raccoon, and Sledge have no particularly
discipline or loyalty to an employer. In particular Panda finds
the idea of being mind controlled into a puppet extremely
distasteful and she’s the easiest to convince. If a PC can flip
Panda, then Raccoon will also go along.
22
There are a lot of ways the PCs can handle this but the NPC
villains offer no help or suggestions whatsoever. They will not
help out with ideas. They don’t like superheroes. They just
want to leave. However, they can help with their knowledge
of passcodes, their ability to move around on the island inde-
pendently and not concern the AI, and their ability to com-
mand Destroyer Agents.
If the PCs need proof of the hypnoray, it may be found in
the computers in the Doctor’s study in Villa with a Computer
Programming roll by 2 and two minutes of work (its also in the
AI, but that’s harder to break). This would be a good time for
something suspenseful, like the door opening behind them
but its just a cleaning robot, or an agent comes in with a bag
of Cheetos to play a game and has to be suppressed. It can be
found in the labs, where the Hypnoray was tested.
And, of course, Destroyer spills the beans in the end battle.
If you combine two variants, Destroyer’s mistress can help
convince them as well.
If convinced well and treated fairly, Panda can be convinced
to even attack Destroyer, even in the middle of a fight against
the PCs: she’s that angry and disturbed by the mind control
thing because of her background.
THE TECHNICIAN
If the PCs are having particular difficulty figuring out what is
going on or what to do next, or need a specialist’s assistance,
then this could be a useful approach.
One of the lab techs has figured out what Destroyer is do-
ing, and wants to stop it. However, he’s just a guy with a high
degree of skill and training in a particular area (nuclear phys-
ics) and is no tough guy able to craw through McClane Ducts
and take on the bad guys.
So he manages to contact the PCs, perhaps at first with a
computer message, maybe a note left somewhere. Then ten-
tatively in person, somewhere safe or at least away from the
sight of the other agents and the supervillains. Perhaps he’ll
be waiting in one of the closed labs, or in a side area.
He has any basic information the PCs need — and nothing
more. For example, he knows the pass codes to get into the
labs. He knows the codes to open the Bulkheads. He knows
where the rocket is, and where the launch opening is in the
Rock Ridge.
He won’t know the whole plot, only that the hypnoray will
overwhelm human will power when under its influence and he
does not want that to happen to him or his family.
The lab tech goes on to explain how he only took the job
because of money problems with the mob (he embezzled
money from the lab he worked at then took a money from a
loanshark to pay it back, but will only reveal that if he has to).
He’s hoping for some kind of legal protection and help from
the PCs if they manage to beat Destroyer.
 HACKING THE AI
The Artificial Intelligence used in this scenario is not Dr De-
stroyer’s infamous Senacherib AI. It is an earlier iteration
called Jeremiah that Zerstoien built in the 1980s.
Further, its not that hard to hack, relatively speaking. Aside
from any supernatural or superpowered ways to control the
AI like some kind of technological psychic powers, the way to
hack this thing is to get access to it. Since the AI is tied into
and runs almost everything on the island, it is uniquely vulner-
able. Usually Destroyer has several layers of AI around
Senacherib, who can easily regain control of any that have
been compromised, but this isn’t the real doctor and he’s run-
ning on a lesser scheme.
It takes time and skill to beat the AI. The AI will, unless some
extraordinary measures are taken (like some sort of invisibility
power to hide it) be aware of the hacking attempt the instant
it is tried and where it is being tried. It will immediately treat
this as a level 5 Security Event. It cannot shut off individual
terminals or areas independently, it would have to shut off all
power to an entire section (such as the entire Villa or entire
Launch Control, for example).
So it fights back using any security devices in the area as
well as patrols and supervillains. The AI is touchy, it will send
everything at the hacker to save its self. But “everything”
maybe quite a ways away, and that is up to the GM to decide.
The PC should get at least a turn of free access before ene-
mies start to arrive. It will not tell Destroyer, however, for
fear he will consider it weak and require replacement.
The Hacking: Each phase the PC can attempt to pit their
Computer Programming roll against the AI’s Intelligence roll. If
the AI loses, then it loses a number of EGO equal to the differ-
ence of the roll. If the rolls are equal, then nothing takes
place except time passing. If the AI wins the roll, it regains
EGO equal to the difference in the rolls. Once the AI’s EGO
total reaches zero, it has been defeated and it is offline for a
turn. Then it comes back up with full EGO again, and the PC
must spend a minute gaining control of the AI and convincing
it who it should listen to and obey (no roll required, just time).
None of this will interfere with the launch or alert anyone
such as Dr Destroyer or agents working on terminals. At most
there is a slight flicker and some lag as the AI reboots, but
most of its processing is independent of the intelligence por-
tion and keeps going on as normal whether the AI is working
or not. As noted above, the AI does not control the launch.
Once the PCs have control of the AI, they can then use it to
do any of the usual things the AI does, such as open and close
bulkheads, activate and target weapons, run alarms, open and
close security cells, even change security codes and shut down
the robotic maintenance devices.
However, it cannot stop the launch, it cannot stop the fuel-
ing, it cannot attack Destroyer (there are no weapons around
to do it with), and it cannot control any Agents or Superheroes
beyond basic orders that are consistent with the base opera-
tions. For example, it cannot make the agents all commit sui-
cide or leave the island, but it can make them shelter in place
or assemble somewhere distant. The Supervillains are even
more independent; they can be given orders by the Doctor,
23
Hench Villains won’t leave the island, assemble somewhere,
or shelter in place. But they can be sent on wild goose chases,
for example. Just use GM discretion: would you follow this
order?
TROUBLESHOOTING
A lot of things can go wrong or in an odd direction, and its
up to you as the GM to figure out what to do on the fly. The
keys are to remain consistent (what worked last time will this
time), not show favoritism, and focus on what is entertaining,
enjoyable, and consistent with the genre. This is a comic book
simulation, so it should follow comic book logic and rules.
If someone is shot down and unconscious over the water,
they aren’t eaten by sharks or swept off to deep blue ocean
leagues away on the current. They wash up on one of the
little beaches and wake up. Maybe Agents show up to take
them into custody, but probably not more than they can easily
handle even in a weakened state.
Characters who are captured are stripped of all obvious foci,
restrained with 5 rPD, 3 rED, 1 BODY zipties behind their back
(or knocked out and carried that way), and plunked into a
holding cell in the detention hallway. Nobody even interro-
gates them, they don’t even care what the hero knows. De-
stroyer will deal with them.
However, the GM should give the PC a chance to Charm or
otherwise turn a likely Agent (make sure a mix of different
sorts of agents is with them to give a chance). And there
should be at least a shot at getting someone like Sledge to set
them free with persuasion or conversation. Panda in particu-
lar will be very sympathetic to female heroes who are cap-
tured. She hates the male ones and will mock their helpless-
ness if given a chance; she’s completely committed to Rac-
coon and cannot be Charmed away from him.
If by miserable circumstances, the entire team is captured,
they are paraded to the Launch Room with all of their foci laid
out on a table for Dr Destroyer to monologue to and show off
his triumph. There, the PCs should have a chance to bust free
and deal with the doctor, even if it means the supervillains
must be all off having a party at the Villa and not around to
fight… or some join the PCs because they are not pleased with
his schemes.

powers on. And of course, even android Destroyer has not just a
dread reputation, but is personally very intimidating. Naturally, the
android has the base and all its agents as followers, plus the vehicles.
It also has a huge array of skills.
In combat, Destroyer prefers to keep his distance, using blasters to
knock targets around, or his strength to hurl them away. The De-
stroyer Pulse is particularly designed to keep people back from his
imperial person. As much as possible, he wants lackeys to handle
annoyances such as superheroes. If they cannot, he’ll
have to teach these gnats a lesson; permanently if
necessary.
The Force Wall power is there only to give the GM
room to get the solioquy out and give a comic book
moment where the heroes square off with the villain
and talk a while. PCs are rarely so cooperative and
love to get in a cheap shot or surprise attack when
the villain is talking, so the Force Wall will at least
slow this down. It has only 1 charge and should be
used in that sense in the game, rather than a defen-
sive panic ability which would show weakness in the
Destroyer android.
As much as Possible, Destroyer should never be
easily moved or tricked. He will be ready for any
scheme or sneak attack players try, or at least seem
to be. GMs should remember this is the premier vil-
lain in the Champions Universe, and should always be
awesome and extremely challenging to battle even in
robot duplicate form.

Campaign Use: Doctor Destroyer is the single most

powerful supervillain in the Champions Universe,
the one villain any superteam, no matter how pow-
erful, should regard as an extreme danger to the
safety and security of the world. Even if the GM
reduces Destroyer’s power to make it possible for
the PCs to defeat him, triumphing over him and
stopping his schemes should never be easy.
Android Dr Destroyer is less powerful than the
real version, and thus gives a challenge without
being too absurdly impossible to defeat, while
providing later possible adventures for even a cam-
paign where the real Destroyer is considered dead
or captured. There are these androids that keep
popping up and carrying out his schemes...
