Greetings, and welcome to the latest issue of The Let us know if you like what we are doing here, or
New Marvel-Phile! It’s hard to believe we have if you want to see something different. Requests
released 26 issues! It’s been two years since we are also welcome, but please bear in mind, that we
released our first issue, and we feel that the fun cannot possibly accommodate all requests. Feel
we’ve had in making them matches the fun you get free to send requests, feedback, and submissions
in seeing these and in playing the classic Marvel (especially submissions!) to
Superheroes RPG! [email protected]!

This month, the various members of the Creative Please enjoy and feel free to give us feedback!
Team (not as exclusive as it sounds… it’s actually
quite a wretched hive of scum and villainy) decided
to celebrate our two years “in print” with a writer’s
choice – each author selected one or two profiles
of D-list characters that maybe, just maybe, could
be a fun addition to your campaign. These are
characters your players likely will never have
heard of, so they are perfect to spring on your
unsuspecting heroes!

This is also a perfect opportunity to remind


everyone about our VERY SPECIAL project! The
members at the MSH RPG Unofficial Canon
Project have completed Volume 1 of the new
Deluxe Edition of the Gamer’s Handbook of the
Marvel Universe, and are working on Volumes 2
and 3 as we speak! This series will follow the index
of characters found in the Deluxe Hardcover
Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe series
released in 2011. However, all the characters will
be updated to present time (in Marvel comics) with
relevant stats and artwork.

If you’re interested in supporting us through this


MAJOR project (yep, there will be 14 volumes),
then join us at the MSH RPG Unofficial Canon
Project Creative Team page, and volunteer to take
some of the upcoming profiles!

ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Pennypacker is still very new to the
superhero business. He can be a bit of
a fanboy when it comes to famous
people though.

HISTORY
J. Pennington Pennypacker was an
average certified public accountant until
he attended the Camp Runamuk self-
esteem camp. The camp was actually a
front for a crazed scientist who had
invented a device that gave anyone it
was used on superpowers. After the
device was used on Pennypacker it
apparently gave him the ability to "throw
money" at his problems.
Pennypacker used his newfound
powers to help his fellow campers and
SuperPro defeat their captors.

the activities of his society, with skip-

stuff".
They were contacted by the
Commander Kak, leader of the remains
of the Ongulian Defense Fleet, to kill Id,
the Selfish Moon, but even Macho
refused the job, judging it too
dangerous.
He was hired to assassinate the
family of Amalgamated Armament
C.E.O. Reginald Harris, but was tricked
into thinking that Deadpool had beat him
to the punch. Macho went after
Deadpool in order to be compensated
for his lost wages but was defeated. He
later tracked down Deadpool at the
home of Reginald Harris who had faked
his own death. After another fight with
Deadpool, Macho was pushed into an
escape pod and jettisoned into space,
while Wade took his spaceship and
replaced him at Funtzel, marrying
Orksa.
He stayed on earth, and contacted
Blind Al, Sluggo, Taskmaster, Weasel,
Big Bertha, and even Bob, who informed
them all when Deadpool came back to
earth and visited him. The whole band,
including Al's dog Deuce, but not Bob,
attacked Gomez at the same time.
Sluggo was killed in the battle, by a
misdirected shot of Weasel, and Macho
was constrained in the fight by Bob's
mutated corn, but the others managed
to kill Deadpool, for a time...
He later appeared in an
intergalactic, maximum security prison,
sharing a cell with Rocket Raccoon, who
turned himself in after being framed for
murder. In exchange for helping him
escape and promises of riches, Macho
agreed to help Rocket hunt down
whoever framed him. When the team
found the true culprit, Macho ceased
aiding Rocket when Blackjack agreed to
pay Macho and his gang off to leave the
two Halfworlders to fight among
themselves.

It's been theorized that due to the fact

some sort of android and the source of
power/control was actually the armored
hang glider.
Profile by Tony Cranfield

ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
The Night Flyer is irrationally focused on
the ideal of "perfection" and this might
be used to his disadvantage in combat
situations.

HISTORY
The Night Flyer's origins are
unknown, he first appeared when he
was contracted by the Corporation to
assassinate a defector within a SHIELD
hospital, fortunately SHIELD was
prepared for this eventuality and had an
ambush ready to stop the murder
attempt. During the ensuring combat
The Falcon ended up being captured by
the escaping Night Flyer.
During the battle The Night Flyer
used a variety of energy based attacks
and sophisticated fighting techniques
and weaponry.

Captain America and a squad of


SHIELD agents came to The Falcon's
rescue and during the battle The Night
Flyers glider was destroyed this caused
a power surge and electrical backlash
which caused Night Flyer's death.
The Night Flyer next appeared
under the control of the Corrupter, who
somehow brought him back from
"death".
The Corrupter ordered The Night
Flyer to capture The Hulk. The Corrupter
intended to use his mind control power
on the Hulk and make him his puppet.
During a long and involved battle, The
Night Flyer was a fairly effective
combatant until The Hulk destroyed The
Night Flyer's glider and the resulting
feedback fried The Night Flyer to a
crisp.
Another villain, Lou Dexter aka
Dead Ringer posed as The Night Flyer
to commit petty crimes but to very little
success.
The "real" Night Flyer has yet to
make any more appearances but other
"gliderless" Night Flyer styled
assassins have attacked The Heroes
For Hire.
