Re: Avengers Characters as D&D Characters
You could also do the Hulk as a Goliath combine with a Warhulk. When he is not large size or greater he lose the abilities of the Hulk and thus regain his intelligence. When in the hulk form he suffers from no time to think.

Re: Avengers Characters as D&D Characters
There is a build floating around on the net somewhere, actually, for a guy who starts out medium size strength 10 but grows to gargantuan superstrong when raging. I think it's is actually called Hulk, so there's that.
Thor could also be a Warblade with the right homebrew disciplines. I've seen a few like that.Resident Vancian Apologist

Re: Avengers Characters as D&D Characters
Wouldn't you just use one of the superhero/modern based D20 versions than shoehorning them into a fantasy setting?

Re: Avengers Characters as D&D Characters
That's too simple for the internetz. We thrive on complexity and cramming fleshed out people into tiny boxes called "Classes" and "builds"
Hulk would be a Bear Warrior or a Frenzied berserker and some form of Contingent healing activated when he stops Raging
Iron man is obviously either a Warlock or Artificier
Thor is an Outsider Crusader
Captain America is a Bard with Perform: Badassery gestalt with a Swordsage or a Shieldbash build
Hawkeye is an Elf with a cheesy Archery build and a ton of homebrew ammo
Black Widow is a Rogue with Acrobatic Skill Tricks
Wolverine is a Tempated (claw attack and regen) Unarmed Swordsage<-- Give the zombie a hug. You know you want too. It's so lonely.

Re: Avengers Characters as D&D Characters
Order of the Stick (Start of Darkness) did some X-men flavoured D&D characters, and I thought it worked pretty well.
Similar ideas could be used for the Avengers.Marut-2 Avatar by Serpentine

Re: Avengers Characters as D&D Characters
I think Cap has had a history of seemingly chaotic actions, but its his own personal moral code that he follows which is why to me he is indeed Lawful Good.
In my mind Cap is the greatest example of Good, and Lawful with the stipulation that its to his own personal code.

Re: Avengers Characters as D&D Characters
Oh my, yeah that is certainly a mistake with Black Widow.
But I selected Paladin of Freedom as I felt its code of conduct fit Cap a lot more than your standard Paladin.
I didn't pick Paladin of Freedom based on such a decision.
I just compared the two classes and their code of conducts.
A paladin must be of lawful good alignment and loses all class abilities if she ever willingly commits an evil act.
Additionally, a paladins code requires that she respect legitimate authority, act with honor (not lying, not cheating, not using poison, and so forth), help those in need (provided they do not use the help for evil or chaotic ends), and punish those who harm or threaten innocents.A paladin of freedom must be of chaotic good alignment and loses all class abilities if he ever willingly commits an evil act. Additionally, a paladin of freedom's code requires that he respect individual liberty, help those in need (provided they do not use the help for lawful or evil ends), and punish those who threaten or curtail personal liberty.
While he may adventure with characters of any good or neutral alignment, a paladin of freedom will never knowingly associate with evil characters (except on some sort of undercover mission), nor will he continue an association with someone who consistently offends his moral code. A paladin of freedom may accept only henchmen, followers, or cohorts who are chaotic good.
I mean I can understand the arguement for Cap being Lawful Good (he's sort of the moral paragon in Marvel) but if we set-up Lawful Good & Chaotic next to each other:
A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished.A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but hes kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.My Works:

Re: Avengers Characters as D&D Characters
How would you make Mjolnir? A Returning Distance Thundering Seeking Shocking Burst Light Hammer +4 with unlimited uses of the Lightning Bolt spell (CL 10th) and the ability to knock enemies prone on a successful hit?

Re: Avengers Characters as D&D Characters
Hulk is a brawling Fighter with spiked gauntlets.
SpoilerThis is the thief who likes to hoard,
That loves the bard with the puppet Lord
That admires the fighter with the green-hilted sword,
That employs the Wizard, whose bird is ignored,
That has the gender unexplored
That intrigues the Halfling, usually bored,
That slew a mountain of the goblin horde,
That follows the cleric,
That serves the lich,
That seeks the gate,
That guards the snarl,
That lives in the prison the gods built.
guess what I was gone but now I'm back

Re: Avengers Characters as D&D Characters
Said this in the Thanos thread over in the roleplaying forum:
Once you get to Mid-Herald tier or higher, you can't effectively stat comic book characters, they're simply too powerful in certain regards and not in others.
Thor for example can conjure winds that literally can rip planets apart and his physical strength can bust planets into bite sized pieces. And that's before any of his other exotic powers and before you factor in if he has the Odin-Force or not.
Now, you can stat up the Streel Level, low Meta guys like Spider-man or Captain America or Batman or even the weaker Hulks, but the best thing to do is to aim for making character inspired builds and not attempted direct translations.
Like how do you stat up The Hulk punching through a Time Storm with brute strength alone (an old feat, but the point stands)?
