Missing attributes or abilities?

So as I was working on boosters, it occured to me that :ghostr: Ghost Rider doesn't have might in MUA. But he is one of the most powerful super heroes ever. And he is resistant to injury, so I'd imagine he'd also be damage resistant (takes less damage)... what do you think?

Another one was :blade: Blade, as he doesn't have might either. As a half-vampire, he does correctly have a healing factor, but he also has superhuman strength, which would also make sense. On the Marvel site, Blade's strength level is a 5 out of 7, which is high. Here's some pics of Blade's feats of strength such as lifting a giant monster above his head, and ripping a vampire's head clean off.

So should Blade have might?

The most shocking was of the :punisher_logo: Punisher. In the Thunderbolts annual, it showed that Punisher was immune to some forms of mind control. (Haven't read that yet.) And somebody at this forum (http://www.globalpunisherarmy.com/gpaboards/index.php?topic=5600.0) said that Punisher was once immune to Ghost Rider's penance stare. Is that true? For someone who is supposed to have no super powers at all, I find it strange that Punisher may be able to resist some mind control. Should he be immune to mind control in MUA, or have some resistance to mental damage?

How about :pman: Luke Cage - the man has bulletproof skin as strong and durable as steel. Should he have some kind of physical resistance?

I don't know - just some things I'm thinking about. Feel free to share your thoughts, or mention other characters who may be getting screwed out of certain attributes or abilities.



Off the top of my head, most of the telekinetics should be able to move the things that require might.

Punisher might be explained and as willpower or pure stubbornness

i think a lot of the characters that have mental resistance have it due to them being subjected to mind control effects in the past, so they have a built up resistance. or, like moon knight, he is so mentally unstable that he has resistance. punisher is a weird one. granted, he probably has nerves of steel and lots of courage, but so do many other heroes.

i would definitely give both blade and ghost rider the might ability. both are probably at least as strong as spiderman.

luke cage should probably have physical resistance 25 like colossus

I completely agree that Blade and Ghost Rider should have might. I sorta hijacked this thread over here: http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,8889.0.html with thoughts about better reflecting the characters in their skills and abilities. As I wrote there, I added a couple of entries to the shared talents such as 'strength' for lifting heavy objects but not smashing reïnforced structures, which is what Might does as well. Something like that might fit Blade as well. Note that I have no idea which features in the game actually count as reïnforced structures...

I'm also wondering what to do with Luke Cage, I was thinking of maybe making his defense upgrades allow for more defense. But some kind of natural starting ability might be better.
In similar vein, I just added a natural spider-sense dodge ability to Spider Man, set at 0.2, it only seemed right for Spidey. I'm curious to hear what you're going to do with Cage.

I wouldn't know about Punisher's mind resistance, but I think Spider-Man villain the Jackal used him as a pawn in the past, somewhat messing with his mind. So maybe it's even a combination of having experience with being a mind-control victim AND having a stubborn black & white focused mentality?
If some characters should gain a mind resistance, I think all of the X-Men are more likely canditates as they've all been trained by Prof X to defend themselves against telephatic attacks.
