Centurion TheQuestionMan, it is critical that you pay attention!

I definitely thought of Annihilation as a Nova event. I know a lot of other characters were involved (and my love for the Super-Skrull knows no limit), but to me, the meat of the event is Nova's story.

I think it's interesting to note that many of these "hero" datafiles are not actually heroes...
Unlike Breakout and Civil War, Annihilation allows us to play villainous characters from the get-go, without having to add milestones...
Will there be any new rules or discussions about playing villainous characters in the Annihilation Sourcebook?

Aside from the classic most mainstream of those characters, I'm interested most in Lyja (Johnny and Thing's ex) and Nebula (most famous from the Infinity Gauntlet event).

These two women for different reasons potentially bring alot to the rp table. I'm not a huge cosmic follower, so I don't know who I'll be playing in this event, but good to see a list for this Event up! :)

Galactus was in the first one, Annihilation. I'm not surprised that he's not a hero Datafile, though.

Yeah, no way we're putting Galactus into the hands of a player. Although, YOU might.

True, but after Annihilation itself, it quickly becomes the Guardians of the Galaxy's story.

I believe technically Galactus (and the rest of the Celestials) had a role in the Thanos Imperative as well.

I think I can make that even a worse idea by giving him Black Panther's A King Needs a Queen as one of his milestones.

The Avengers *do* have a history of reforming villains and letting them join. Galactus would make a good Newvenger. My one minor concern is that he might slightly overshadow Magnitude, what with him always being so tall.
