WHY PUNY HOLIDAY DELAY HULK?

[Clockpunk]

That is some funky mechanics wrangling worked into the datafile. Spiffy job, Cam.

I wonder if you could use a Complication of some sort to lock out Rampaging Hulk (Can you target a limit?). I imagine you could cetainly use one to stop Banner from becoming Hulk at all (D8 "Adrenal Inhibition Dart" stunt?)

And while I'm writing, bemused to see Banner is basically an Overspecialised footnote on Hulk's file. :p

EDIT: Posting this post delayed by distraction due to Mock The Week. Ooops.

Question: My heroes are the first responders to an "Angry Hulk" scenario. The three heroes scramble to try to contain the Jade Giant as he rampages through downtown Chicago. Captain America radios the heroes that reinforcements are on the way and that they just need to contain him and prevent excessive loss of life and property damage.

1. Hulk smashes a tall building (D12 effect) and creates a Scene Distinction of "Falling Building D12", what is a good way to integrate this into actually being used?

Scene distinctions are just like any other distinction, use as either a d4 and a PP, or a d8. After that is created, you can convert it into a complication.

2. Hulk picks up a car and tosses it at the ABC News 7 helicoptor and it begins to fall. How would I do this mechanically? D12 Falling Helicoptor that needs to be overcome?

Depends. What are you trying to do with smashing the helicopter? It could be emotional stress on the heroes, it could just be grandstanding, or physical stress as the helicopter falls on a hero. Or, really, anything you want it to be.

3. Hulk is really angry and grabs a character and tosses him into the air. On a D12 effect, I would imagine that Hero X now has a D12 Complication "Thrown into Orbit by the Hulk" that they need to use their travel power to overcome.

Again, depends. It could be physical stress as the hero falls to the ground, it could be emotional stress, as the hero is afraid for what Hulk might do next, or just a complication. If it was a complication, then it would take some time to remove it, and a travel power would be a great way to overcome a distance-related complication.

4. It looks like the most effective way to affect the Hulk is Mental Damage. Would trying to "talk him down" count as Mental Stress/Complication, or Emotional Stress/Complication? If it is E, then it seems that it would only fuel his anger.

Talking him down sounds like mental stress to me. However, don't forget that a simple PP or doom die can change that to emotional stress as he gets pissed that he's being treated as a child.

5. Hulk's handclasping Shockwave is Stress, or is it a "Stunned" complication that needs to be worked down?

Either way. It all depends on what you want to accomplish with the clap.
