Murders By The Death Battlition - Marvel Super Heroes Rpg The Golden Age Campaign - Session Report Three

 This session report picks up right from the last grit and gritty session here. We'd found the dead cop's corpse last session. And we waited on the medical examiner's report with every drop of liquid pulled from the corpse. 


We were on the trail of the asssasin who had been smuggled into the United States by the Circus of Death last session. What we didn't know was that the Death Battalion from the Public Domain Super Heroes Wiki  was on our case; 
"The Death Battalion was a team of criminals and fifth columnists dedicated to the destruction of the United States. It was founded by The Brain, and comprised of six deadly super criminals that The Brain helped free from "El Catraz" Penitentiary. In addition to The Brain, the team included The Horned Hood, The Black Thorn, The Black Clown, The Laughing SkullDr. Death (2) and Ghost (Fawcett). The team was ultimately defeated when The Brain and several other members were captured by Mr. Scarlet and Pinky. The team had been successful in assassinating several prominent American officials." As far as we knew the Death Battlion has been busted in 1941 and yet we found evidence last session that  The Black Thorn back in action?! 























The orginal Death Battlion was still incarcarated as far as we knew?! Now all of this centered around the original Brain. The brain's mask is actually a psionic power blocker centered around some pseudo Science gimmicky. The player's started breaking this down, a convienant group of super villains who appear outta of no where?! What's the angle?! 


What if these super villains are actually highly trained Nazi sabatours & fifth columnists with a set of rotating Nazi officiers and SS agents who are taking on the roles?! The American public blames the Death Battlion & the Nazi infiltrate deeper into America. The Brain's profile on Write up.org has a run down on these 'nobody villains'.These were the next incarnation of the villain identities & were to sew the most panic and fear that they can in the populice. 

  • The Thorn.
  • The Black Clown.
  • The Laughing Skull.
  • Doctor Death.
  • The Ghost.
  • The Horned Hood.
    Now for the Golden Age of Heroes campaign each of these guys would have SS officier's stats from MA7. They have the gimmicks of the villains but also access to Nazi equipment including guns, explosives, etc. everything that fifth columnist needs. 
    We know that the The Thorn has skirted the Gothem section of New York City and is on the outskirts having no motive to tangle with Batman or Robin. The Thorn is also too small fry for Captain America or any of his operatives. So we're on the case. We're busting a small nazi safehouse on the lower Eastside of the city. When we got to the small town house we discovered the corpses of three people the handy work of The Thorn. And there were Nazi agents waiting for us and it got brutal. We took out four of the agents and called in the cops. And then we ran into FBI agent Clemants whose a real prick and then it was lots of paperwork.
