"Polymer upgrade" for Sentinel's sig?For countering Magneto...
Hi,
It has always bugged me that Sentinels, designed specifically for hunting mutants INCLUDING MAGNETO, are powerless against both Magnetos.
This would be fine if it weren't for the fact that there is precedent in both the comics and the movies of Sentinels that were fabricated with high tech polymers specifically for being able to counter Magneto.
Also, Sentinels signature, as it is right now, is underwhelming in the sense that all you need is literally one sig level on it. No motivation at all to ramp it up as the power drain/gain counter has such a limited use and utility.
So here's an idea:
Right of the bat, I am not asking for removing the Magnetize effect altogether from the get go , as it would make it too overpowering.
What you can do is include in Sentinels signature a "polymer upgrade" condition, that would work something like this:
This Sentinel has been retrofitted with a high tech polymer casing and internal electronics that reduce the effectiveness of the "Magnetize" effect as follows:
- Health and attack class advantage has been restored by X% when fighting Magneto and Magneto ( House of X)
- Ability Accuracy has been restored to an 'X' %
- Regeneration rate has been restored to an 'X'% ( When fighting Red Magneto)
- 'X'% chance that Red Magneto's [Magnet] bonuses will not activate at the start of the fight.
- Power rate has been restored to an 'X'% ( when fighting White Magneto)
With 1 signature level , I would say that those 'X' percentages would be say 20%
With 200 sig it would be say 80%.
Why wouldn't the polymer remove the magnetize effect altogether? Because FYI Magneto doesn't have control over metal per se, he has control over magnetic fields. Being a Robot, he would still generate magnetic fields. But since there is no longer any metal in its body, then Magneto's control over its magnetic fields would be greatly diminished.
This way you give a motivation for people to ramp up the signature ability, while at the same time not making Magneto's advantage completely worthless.
Deal?
