 INTRODUCTION
This expansion to the Super Villain Handbook All that being said, there are some similarities in
Deluxe Edition is intended to give Savage the two systems and a foundation upon which
Worlds players and game masters everything conversion can begin. Both systems have very
they need to use the archetypes, villains, and broad skills and attributes, for example, so that
heroes of the SVHDE in their SW games. This all hand-to-hand combat ability is embraced by
expansion is not, however, a substitute for the a single stat (Prowess or Fighting).
Super Villain Handbook Deluxe Edition. Most
of the text of that book is not reproduced here. ATTRIBUTES AND DICE
Instead, this expansion provides Savage Use Table 1 to convert an ICONS level into a
Worlds statistics for all the heroes and villains, Savage Worlds die type, and Table 2 to
an explanation of that conversion and how it convert attributes from ICONS to Savage
was done, and — when appropriate — specific Worlds. Note that ICONS uses a Stamina stat
Savage World advice on the way the villain which is the sum of Strength and Willpower;
archetypes interact with the Savage World assign your Savage Worlds version a Vigor
rules. which seems appropriate, using Strength and
Willpower/Spirit as a guide. Two of the
CONVERTING ICONS attributes in ICONS — Prowess and Awareness
— are covered by skills in Savage Worlds
TO SAVAGE WORLDS (Fighting and Notice).
ICONS is a genre-specific RPG designed to
describe superheroes of every power level. Table 1: Level Conversion
Savage Worlds is a “generic” system for
gaming in virtually any setting or genre, and its SW
ICONS Level Savage Die
superhero rules focus on heroes of middle-to- Power Level
low power level. Savage Worlds is very much
a system of numbers, though every effort is 1 d4-2
made to keep the math simple and fast. ICONS 2 d4
characters, in contrast, are partly described by
qualities, a narrative tool without numeric value, 3 d6
and they are often generated randomly with 4 d8
results of very different power level. ICONS
encourages players to create their own special 5 d10
tricks and maneuvers through the use of knacks 6 d12
and stunts, while Savage Worlds provides a
more “crunchy” ruleset with a long list of edges. 7 d12+2 Pulp
All of this means that any conversion from one
8 d12+4 Street Fighter
game to another is going to be more true in the
spirit than the letter. There is no one way to 9 d12+6 Four Color
convert a character from ICONS to Savage
10 d12+8 Heavy Hitter
Worlds and, in fact, it may be a fool’s game
even to try. Instead, take the concept of the 12 d12+12 Cosmic
character as it is presented in ICONS and then
use Savage Worlds to make an alternate 15 d12+18
version of that character (the “Earth-Savage” 20 d12+28
version, if you will).

SPECIALTIES AND SKILLS
ICONS specialties are easy to convert to
Savage Worlds. An ICONS character with a
specialty treats his attribute as higher in level,
so in Savage Worlds the corresponding skill
also has a higher die type. In ICONS a
character effectively has every skill at the level
of his relevant attribute; this is not true in
Savage Worlds. As you run through the list of
skills in Savage Worlds, give the character you
are converting appropriate skills up to the limit
of the character’s attribute, but not higher
unless the ICONS version of the character has
the appropriate specialty. Don’t feel obliged to
give the character every skill, though, just
because he or she is automatically good at
everything in ICONS!
In ICONS, Coordination covers ranged attacks,
so Savage Worlds characters with ranged
powers will need Shooting or Throwing, usually
equal to their Agility attribute but possibly higher
if the character has specialties like Power or
Weapons. Along the same lines, Willpower is
used for all social interactions in ICONS, so
your Savage Worlds version may need
Persuasion, Intimidation, or Taunt (which has
specific game mechanics in Savage Worlds
that are entirely absent in ICONS). Some
Savage Worlds characters will need particular
skills as a requirement for certain edges or
powers; for example, the Invent power requires
Knowledge (Engineering), Super Sorcery
requires Spellcasting, and the Tactician edge
requires Knowledge (Battle); you will need to go
back and add these skills.
4
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
Note that some skills, despite a similarity of
names, are quite different in each system. In
particular, Investigation in Savage Worlds is
specifically the use of written materials to
research a question or problem, while
Streetwise governs face-to-face information
gathering. An ICONS character with
Investigation is trained in “being a detective,” a
combination of skills which includes gathering
information, analyzing crime scenes, and even
tailing a suspect (Stealth). Some ICONS
specialties (like Power) are better represented
with Savage Worlds edges (like Mastery). This
is a good reminder not to get too strict when
converting one version of a character to
another. Give the character a “best guess”
based on his or her description, qualities, and
knacks.
EDGES AND HINDRANCES
ICONS players create unique narrative qualities
for their characters, and these qualities act as
tags which can be invoked by the player or the
GM for game or story effect. Most of the
characters in this book also have knacks, the
equivalent of “special moves” which give the
character a reliable advantage in a very narrow
application. Savage Worlds, in contrast,
provides a list of Edges and Hindrances from
which players choose. This provides for
consistency and helps regulate balance, but it
means that it is essentially impossible to create
a clear conversion from ICONS qualities and
knacks to Savage edges and hindrances.
Instead, run through the list of edges and
hindrances and assign to the NPC whatever
seems appropriate. Knacks and qualities can
suggest particular edges or hindrances, but a
Savage Worlds character will probably have
several hindrances and many edges, not limited
by his or her qualities and knacks. In this
expansion, edges and hindrances have been
taken only from the Deluxe Explorer’s Edition
and the Super Powers Companion. If you have
additional books and see an edge or hindrance
which seems appropriate to a character, add it
or substitute it for an edge or hindrance already
listed.
 Some characters in this book do not have super
powers at all. Such characters usually have the
Out Of My League hindrance to reflect the fact
that they are outmatched by pretty much any
PC in a superhero game.
Minions and fighting companions are a large
part of many Savage Worlds games, and the
system has been designed to make them easy
to use. While heroes will not usually go around
with a gang of minions, many villains do so. But
in ICONS, the Leadership specialty applies only
to player characters; NPCs cannot benefit from
it, and so it has not been included in ICONS
versions of bad guys even when it might be
appropriate. When you are converting ICONS
characters to Savage Worlds, add Leadership
edges like Command to represent a bad guy
who is ably assisted by a gang of mooks.
GEAR
As a rule, ICONS characters have utility belts,
body armor, and weapons like guns listed on
their sheet as powers. In Savage Worlds,
however, such items cost money, not power
points or XP. In fact, the Super Powers
Companion expands the list of gear to include
science fiction equipment like energy blasters,
rocket packs, and power nullifiers. Nothing
prevents most heroes in a Savage Worlds
game from carrying such equipment, provided
they can find someone willing to sell it. As a
result, many ICONS characters, converted to
Savage Worlds, have no powers whatsoever.
Their “powers” are now simply gear.
POWERS
Broadly speaking, converting powers from
ICONS to Savage Worlds is easy. Both games
have comprehensive lists of super powers seen
in comics, film, and other superhero media, and
a character with Flight, Duplication, or Mind
Control in ICONS has Flight, Duplication, or
Mind Control in Savage Worlds.
However, the specifics of how these powers
function is very different in each system. Many
powers in Savage Worlds cannot really be
improved at all; Mind Control is always based
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
on Smarts, for example, and a character with
Absorption can spend points to absorb more
diverse forms of energy but not to make his
Absorption more effective or efficient. In
addition, Savage Worlds caps the effect of
many powers at a level far lower, in
comparison, than ICONS. The Savage Worlds
power “Attack, ranged”, for example, can inflict
a maximum of 6d10 damage at a cost of 14
power points. This is appropriate for a Four
Color campaign, where characters have 45
power points and can spend up to 15 of those
points on a single power (22 with the
appropriate edge). But characters in the Heavy
Hitter or Cosmic category still cannot exceed
this 6d10 limit; they cannot buy more damage,
only additional effects (such as Armor Piercing
or Area Effect). In contrast, a character as low
as Street Fighter can have +20 Armor and +10
Toughness, the highest level allowed for both
these powers, and stack them for a Toughness
bonus of +30! The limits set by Savage Worlds
power level means that no power can cost more
than 37 points, and while that’s an awful lot of
Telekinesis, Invent, or Super Sorcery, it pales in
comparison to the upper limit of ICONS
characters. A character like Stardust the Super-
Wizard, who can move Mars with a gesture, is
certainly rare in ICONS, but he’s impossible in
Savage Worlds without GM fiat or house rules.
All of this serves a specific purpose, however.
In Savage Worlds, powers max out at a level
that ensures low-level heroes can still threaten
high-level villains. The players may be Street
Fighters or Four Color characters fighting a
single Cosmic menace, but that Cosmic bad
guy can’t attack the heroes with overwhelming
damage, and the heroes have enough
Toughness to take it anyway. In short, Savage
Worlds is aimed at what its players might call
“grittier” superheroics, and it plays best with
Street Fighter characters. (If more evidence of
any of this is required, compare the villains in
the Super Powers Companion and Super Villain
Update: 15 Pulp, 44 Street Fighter, 34 Four
Color, 11 Heavy Hitter and 4 Cosmic.)
Finally, unless your campaign is using the
“Rising Stars” rule (Super Powers Companion
p4), power levels and points are inviolate. Every
5
 Savage Worlds superhuman, hero or villain,
PC or NPC, follows these rules:
• The character has precisely 15, 30, 45, 60 or
75 points in powers.
• With one exception, no more than 1/3 of
those points can be spent on any individual
power.
• The edge The Best There Is allows 1/2 of a
character’s points (rounded up) to be spent on
a single power.
• Powers, once chosen, never change without
house rules or GM fiat.
All of this means that many of the characters in
this book convert somewhat awkwardly into
Savage Worlds. Heroes and villains of low
power level, who rely on gear for their utility
belts, body armor, and weapons, can be
described with less than 15 power points; for
these characters, the excess power points can
be spent on Super Attribute, Super Edge, and
Super Skill, even though the character has no
attribute or skill above d12. Conversely,
characters of high power level will simply be too
many points — sometimes far too many! This is
especially common when a character is derived
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
from source material; it is easy to make a
character from scratch who conforms to the
Savage Worlds rules, but when replicating
characters like Dracula, Amazing Man, or
Stardust the Super-Wizard, these characters
simply have too many powers to fit within the
allotted budget of points.
Converting a character from ICONS to Savage
Worlds is a bit like translating poetry from one
language to another. A translator can choose
the most accurate word and keep the literal
meaning, but such a poem loses the original
rhyme and meter. Or he can try to preserve the
form and rules of the poem and pick words
which, while perhaps not the same in meaning,
nevertheless preserve the overall sense. In
Savage Worlds, the limitations of 15
points/power level and 1/3 of your points/power
are the form of the poem, and the conversions
here preserve that form. That means that the
super villains in this book do not have exactly
the same powers and abilities as their original
ICONS versions; in most cases, that means
they are considerably less super, but this is
consistent with the Savage Worlds ruleset,
which encourages that style of play.
 VILLAINS BY ARCHETYPE
ASSASSIN
Savage Worlds has a few especially useful
tools for the Assassin, including the Assassin
edge and Trademark Weapon. The No Mercy
edge, normally prohibited in super powers
games, is a good way to distinguish the
Assassin from other antagonists. The Assassin
is usually Wanted and Ruthless, but he may
obey a Code of Honor.
.50-.50 is a Four Color character whose Best
There Is edge allows his ranged attack to
exceed normal power limits. Many heroes,
however, have enough Toughness that his
bullets simply will not harm them, so check to
make sure Danny is a credible threat before
using him as an antagonist. Remember, his
preferred mission is one in which he
assassinates a victim from afar and then slips
away.

Assassin, Servitor
Attributes: Agility d12, Smarts d6, Spirit d8,
Strength d8 (d12), Vigor d8 (d10).

Device -1.
• Super Edges (8): Improved Trademark
Weapon, No Mercy, The Best There Is
(Attack, ranged), Trademark Weapon.
• Super Skill (7): Shooting 5, Stealth 2.
BLUE COLLAR CRIMINAL
The Foreman is a Four Color antagonist. His
usefulness in a fight very much depends on his
Absorption. He should be all but impossible to
defeat by physical means, but comparatively
easy if his Absorption can be circumvented
through unusual attacks. If Absorption is not
potent enough to withstand a hero’s
overwhelming physical attacks, simply allow the
Foreman to convert two wounds for every
success instead of one.
THE FOREMAN
Blue Collar Criminal, Servitor
Attributes: Agility d8, Smarts d8, Spirit d8,
Strength d10, Vigor d12.
Skills: Climbing d8, Driving d6, Fighting d10,
Gambling d8, Intimidation d8, Notice d6, Repair
d6, Shooting d6, Stealth d10, Streetwise d10,
Swimming d6, Taunt d8, Throwing d8.
Cha: 0; Pace: 6; Parry: 7; Toughness: 8.
Gear: Usually none. If his Absorption isn’t
enough to protect him from melee and firearms
attacks, give him Body Armor.
Hindrances: Bad Luck, Wanted (Minor).
Edges: Arcane Background (Super Powers),
Brawler, Brawny.

 Super Powers:
• Absorption (9): Matter/Energy Master
(Foreman can absorb any attack that includes
physical force, including Kinetic energy, Force
or Solid Light, Wind, etc.). Transference.
• Attack, melee (14): +5d6. Focus, Heavy
Weapon, Stackable. Contingent (-2). Foreman
gains +1d6 damage for each step of increased
Strength or Vigor his Absorption has given
him.
• Super Attribute (4): Strength 1, Vigor 1.
• Super Edge (14): Brave, Command, Hard to
Kill, Level Headed, Nerves of Steel, Take the
Hit, Team Leader.
• Super Skill (4): Fighting 1, Intimidation 1,
Stealth 1, Streetwise 1.
CONQUEROR
Consider giving the Conqueror the Extra
Actions power, so that she can threaten groups
of heroes. Arrogant, Overconfident, and
Monologuer are all good hindrances for the
Conqueror. This is also one of the archetypes
that best takes advantage of the Savage
Worlds rules for minions and other allies on the
battlefield; give the Conqueror the Command
edge and additional edges that allow her to
capitalize on her Faceless Minions. The
Vehicles on p16 of the Super Powers
Companion are a good place to start when a
Conqueror is trying to take over the city.
Jupiter Queen is a Cosmic antagonist. To better
represent her cosmic storm powers, waive the
restrictions on storms summoned in areas
which are not prone to them.
HER MAJESTY TANITH III, THE
QUEEN OF JUPITER
Conqueror, Cosmic Menace, Supremacist
Attributes: Agility d10, Smarts d10, Spirit
d12+4, Strength d12 (d12+2), Vigor d12+4.
Skills: Fighting d10, Intimidation d12,
Knowledge (Battle) d12, Notice d10,
Persuasion d12, Shooting d10, Taunt d12,
Throwing d8.
Cha: +4; Pace: 6 or flight 48; Parry: 7;
8
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
Toughness: 24 (14).
Gear: Jupiter Queen wears Battle Frame Juno,
which amplifies her strength, makes her nearly
impervious to harm, and regenerates her
wounds via sustainocircuits. Its built-in
quarkommunicator allows her to keep in contact
with Galileans anywhere in the solar system.
She can arm herself with any other weapon or
device her legion of scientists devise for her.
Hindrances: Arrogant, Monologuer, Ruthless
(Minor), Stubborn.
Edges: Arcane Background (Super Powers),
Attractive, Command, Counterattack, Filthy
Rich, Killer Instinct, Martial Artist, Mastery
(Storm), Noble, Strong Willed.
Super Powers:
• Ageless (2): Very Old.
• Armor +14 (13): Hardy, Heavy Armor. Device
(armor).
• Attack, melee (17): +5d6. Focus, Heavy
Weapon, Stackable. Switchable (Storm, Gale
Force, Lightning Strike). Device (-1 armor).
• Doesn’t Breathe (1): Device (-1 armor).
• Flight (10): Pace 48.
• Regeneration (9): Natural healing roll every
round. Device (-1 armor).
• Resistance (4): Space.
• Super Attribute (3): Strength 2, Device (-1
armor).
• Super Attributes (16): Spirit 4, Vitality 4.
COSMIC MENACE
Antagonists like Galactus and the Anti-Monitor
are really “off the charts” when it comes to
Savage Worlds. The game is simply not
intended to model such beings, at least not with
numbers. If you want to throw a Cosmic
Menace at your Savage protagonists, it’s
probably best to handle it with GM fiat rather
than dice.
The Maw is a good example: an elemental
force, not a super villain, and not the sort of
entity Savage Worlds is intended to
mechanically describe. The powers and
 attributes included here describe those aspects
of the Maw which are merely superhuman in
scale, but it is larger than a star, invulnerable to
anything up to an exploding sun, and can use
its psychic powers across interstellar distances.
It eats planets and leaves genocidal madness
in its wake. This is not the sort of thing heroes
should be trying to punch. Use the rules for fear
and terror from the Horror Companion to
simulate the worldwide panic the Maw creates.
THE OMNIVORACIOUS MAW

CRIME BOSS
If his gang is especially well organized, or if he
has a military background, the Crime Boss is
another likely candidate for the Command
edge, Charisma, and a small cadre of
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
especially loyal Minions. He may use a
Trademark Weapon to distinguish himself from
other petty criminals. He is probably Wanted,
Greedy, and Rich (or Filthy Rich). He could
have Connections in the criminal underworld or
the legal system, including corrupt cops,
lawyers and judges. Many Crime Bosses who
rule by fear are also Mean.
Professor Peril is a Heavy Hitter, but that’s
mostly in order to keep his school under control.
He is easily reduced in power level; in fact, his
powers may have faded completely!
PROFESSOR PERIL
Crime Boss, Mastermind, Psychic Villain
Attributes: Agility d8, Smarts d12, Spirit d10,
Strength d6, Vigor d8.
Skills: Fighting d8, Intimidation d12,

CULT LEADER
The Savage Worlds Horror Companion has
resources for your Cult Leader, including stats
for cultists and priests, monsters the cult might
summon or control, and occult treasures which
the cult seeks out or uses against heroes.
Super heroes being what they are, ordinary
cultists will be no match for them without the
advantage of numbers or the benefit of
surprise.
As written, Cardinal Sin is a Four Color Villain.
He is, however, easily adjusted downward for
Street Fighter or Pulp games; simply remove
his Attack and Damage Field powers. Use the
Dark Brood for the Cardinal’s demonic minions,
supplemented when necessary with villains like
Ghoul, Brimstone, Hell’s Angel, Nocturne or
Dark Angel as Servitor lieutenants (all of these
are detailed in the Super Powers Companion).
HIS EMINENCE GREGORY,
THE THIRD CARDINAL SIN

• Fear (3): Use the regular mechanics for Fear,
but the Cardinal induces Greed instead.
Fearless provides no benefit against Greed.
• Super-Attributes (12): Smarts 2, Spirit 4.
• Super Skill (2): Persuasion 2.
DARK MIRROR
The Dark Mirror is probably an Enemy of the
hero whom she mirrors, and is Wanted because
of it. She is probably Bloodthirsty, Greedy,
Ruthless, Vengeful or Mean, all traits which the
hero avoids.
The Woman in Red is a Pulp Villain with a lot of
edges, some big pistols, and no real powers.
She needs to have a plan, and that plan will
include avoiding most super-heroes. Where she
excels is in her war on street criminals, whom
she executes with mirthless efficiency. Barbara
is bloodthirsty but not ruthless; she doesn’t
harm “civilians”, by which she means law-
abiding citizens. If she finds out someone has
committed a crime, however, she considers
their punishment to be her duty. Serious crimes
require serious, usually fatal, punishment.
THE WOMAN IN RED
Dark Mirror, Vigilante
Attributes: Agility d12, Smarts d10, Spirit d12,

DEVIL
See the Horror Companion for a lot more on the
subject of the Devil and demons. Indeed,
Savage Worlds grew out of horror gaming and
the Devil is one of the Archetypes that best fits
that system… even if the Devil himself is hard
to describe in the game. It’s no accident that the
single most powerful NPC in the Super Powers
Companion is an incarnation of the Devil
Archetype.
The Devil included here, Metaphisto, Demon
Prince of Super Villains, is a Cosmic entity
probably best left “off the scale.” However, the
game statistics above can describe him when
he is on Earth in his Count Urizen disguise. He
has the power to grant, boost, and strip super
powers; when heroes resist this, it is a test of
wills.

DOMINATOR
Mind Control in Savage Worlds is based on
Smarts, so it is difficult to model a villain like the
Purple Man who isn’t especially intelligent but
whose power to dominate is irresistible. You
may decide that the Dominator’s Mind Control
always works when used on NPCs, and just use
contested Smarts checks when heroes are the
11
 target. The Dominator may have Possession
instead of Mind Control. Because the
Dominator leaves many angry victims in his
wake, he may have Enemies on either side of
the law.
The Spinster doesn’t have Arcane Background
(Super Powers). She’s an extortionist with a
theme, but her edges have raised her
Investigation skill just about as high as it can
go. If a hero has a secret, Charlotte is liable to
know it.

Edges: Connections (Victims), Dodge, Expert

Professional (Investigation), Rich.
DOPPELGANGER
With his shapeshifting powers, the
Doppelganger is one of the archetypes most
likely to have an Alien Form. He relies on
Persuasion to convince others of his assumed
identity. The subtype of the Doppelganger
known as the Master of Disguise relies on high
Investigation and Streetwise to learn all he can
about his target; he may have the Investigator
edge and know many of the PC’s secrets.
Rakshasa is a Four Color villain who is
designed to face multiple Street Fighters at
once.

EVIL CEO
The Evil CEO is almost certainly Greedy and
Filthy Rich, and he has Connections to
scientists or security forces that allow him to
indirectly threaten super heroes. He may have a
 reliable Minion to take the fall and drive the
limo.
Timeshare is a Street Fighter, but in fact most
heroes will find him easy to defeat once they
figure out what is happening. One punch and
he’s down for the count; heroes with lethal
attacks may find themselves with a corpse on
their hands instead of a suspect.

EVIL TWIN
Like the Dark Mirror, the Evil Twin is a good
candidate for hindrances like Arrogant, Mean,
Bloodthirsty or Vengeful. Indeed, he is
especially easy to design because your player
has done most of the work for you; all you need
to do is swap out a few edges and hindrances
to accentuate the negative and downplay the
positive.
The Raptor is a Pulp Villain with no real powers,
just a whole lot of edges, gear, and a pair of
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
well-aimed automatics. As the head of a modest
(city-wide) criminal organization, he can
command the loyalty of minions and additional
resources. Against traditional super-heroes, his
best option is to flee, but he makes a great
enemy for vigilante heroes, dark avengers,
costumed adventurers, and even two-fisted
action stars who suddenly find themselves in a
superhero story.

 FACELESS MINIONS
Faceless Minions are a staple of Savage
Worlds gaming, and you will use a lot of them.
You can steal the stats for soldiers and warriors
found in various Savage Worlds books, like
Necessary Evil, for more versions of the
Faceless Minion. In fact, you may use minions
so often that the heroes decide they need some
of their own! While this is rare in comics, it’s not
unheard of for special situations (such as
Batman’s imposition of order on a darkened
Gotham in Dark Knight Returns) and Savage
Worlds is designed to handle it. So maybe, just
this once, your players rally a legion of fans or
superhero wannabes to take down the forces of
NEST.

FALLEN HERO
The Fallen Hero may have sworn a Vow, the
fulfilment of which led to his fall, and now he is
Bloodthirsty, Vengeful, or Mean. He may have a
Death Wish and his need to explain himself to
his former allies makes him a Monologuer.
Wolf Savage is a Street Fighter; his minions use
the stats for Dogs/Wolves on p157 of Savage
Worlds Deluxe Explorer’s Edition, but also
have the Team Player edge. If killed, they

FORCE OF NATURE
By definition, the Force of Nature is someone
you can’t fight, and that makes her a bit out of
genre for Savage Worlds. You can give a
Force of Nature Energy Control or Matter
Control, but as long as those powers are
capped in the same way they are for heroes,
you’re not really doing the archetype justice.
The Force of Nature does not make it rain, she
floods entire cities. This makes her Arrogant or
Overconfident. If you have given her stats, she
has Mastery and is The Best There Is.
The stats here are for Montana when she was
merely mortal and a Heavy Hitter. As a true
Force of Nature, her powers are off the chart. In
addition to Super Attributes and Constructs, she
would have Doesn’t Eat, Doesn’t Sleep,
Immune to Poison/Disease, and Regeneration.
Also, as a Force of Nature, add the Hindrances
Clueless, Monologuer, and Vengeful (Minor).

FOREIGNER
Foreigners may be Outsiders and Arrogant or
Stubborn concerning their political system,
religion, or race. He may have a Code of Honor,
but that Code is very different from that held by
western heroes. More progressive foreigners,
like the Modern Samurai or Minority Hero, are
his Enemy and he is probably Wanted.
Muezzin is a Four Color character with one
really big power and not much else. Heroes
who can avoid or resist his sonic voice will find
him an easy victory. However, he is usually
leading at least a squad of Saudi soldiers, and
might have many more.

GLADIATOR
The Gladiator will have a lot of combat edges,
especially ones like Counterattack or First
Strike which are helpful when fighting a single
enemy in a duel situation. She is motivated by a
Vow or by Arrogance and may lose fights only
because of Bad Luck. If she executes all she
defeats, she is Bloodthirsty, but she may have a
Code of Honor that allows valiant losers to
survive for a rematch. She is probably an
Enemy for one of the PCs and is Vengeful,
pursuing all those who have defeated her in
battle.
The Platinum Blonde is a Heavy Hitter. If that is
not strong enough to rival the strongest hero at

HEIR TO LOVECRAFT
The Heir to Lovecraft is an archetype which
really deserves a spot in your Savage Worlds
game, simply because there are so many great
resources for you to draw on. In particular, the
Horror Companion will provide you with
Lovecraftian threats, magic, and madness. The
Heir probably has a Mania and his propensity
for explaining who his masters are and how
much they will reward him makes him a
Monologuer. He will summon or be
accompanied by cyclopean entities beyond our
ken, but they don’t obey him, so he probably
doesn’t use Command or the rules for battlefield
allies. Indeed, he may be the first person such
creatures murder when they arrive on Earth.
Field Folio is a Four Color villain, but he can be
reduced in power for other games; as a Street
Fighter, he summons two minions with 11
points each, and in a Pulp game he has one
minion with 6 points.
Although Fiend Folio himself does not have the
Fear power or even Intimidation, the creatures
he summons are Lovecraftian Horrors and
should prompt Fear checks from all but the
most seasoned of monster-hunters. The
Minions power as listed in his entry is
something of a place holder; the Book of
Squamous Shadow can summon whatever
Cthulhu-inspired monstrosity you wish to use
and happen to have stats for.

HERO IN DISGUISE
If the Hero in Disguise is not Wanted, she is not
doing her job. If she is Heroic or has a Code of
Honor, she has to work very hard to hide it lest
her disguise be blown, but a criminal can get
away with Loyal. She’s more likely to have
hindrances like Vow, Stubborn, Cautious, or
minor versions of Ruthless or Vengeful. She
may be using her disguise to protect a
Dependent.

IMP
In Savage Worlds, the Imp is the province of
GM fiat. Some players may chafe at this, since
they expect bad guys to be described in the
same numbers that heroes are, but this is
exactly the challenge that the Imp represents.
What powers does Star Trek’s Q have in
Savage Worlds? All of them. That’s the Imp.
He is probably Clueless, Curious, or Delusional,
and may be Overconfident or a Monologuer;
this will give heroes a way to keep him busy
while they figure out how to remove his powers
or send him home. Despite his incredible
powers, he is often Yellow.
Coyote is a cosmic force of nature, and his
ability to do pretty much whatever he wants with
a snap of his fingers is not well modeled using
Savage World super powers. He is described
here as a Heavy Hitter, but can alter reality by
GM Fiat. Give the heroes bennies when Coyote
flagrantly breaks the rules, which he will do a
lot. In particular, Coyote can suffer pretty much
any amount of damage without ever being
 worse than Shaken. On his next turn, he can
recover from being Shaken and simultaneously
remove all injury from himself.

KID PLAYING WITH FIRE
Despite his name, the Kid is probably not young
enough for the Youth hindrance. He may,
however, be Small. He is probably Curious,
especially when it comes to opportunities to use
his powers, and he has Bad Luck. At first he is
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
Overconfident, but once events begin to spiral
out of control, he is also Stubborn in his refusal
to seek help or admit he did anything wrong.
His inexperience, and his desire to lecture his
victims and the heroes about their foolish
treatment of him when he was weak, mark him
as a Monologuer. To model his sudden and
dangerous power, make him The Best There Is.
Power Negation is common for Kids, and the
heroes need to figure that out to resolve the
story.
Sister Salem is a Street Fighter. If you want to
raise her power level, change the damage dice
on her Hellfire to d10 and add Heavy Weapon,
increase Super Sorcery to level 8 and give her
more Deflection.

 MASTERMIND
The Mastermind is one of the archetypes most
likely to have Command and use the rules for
battlefield allies, though he may have a Servitor
who actually leads the troops into battle while
the Mastermind runs for the escape vehicle. He
is likely to be Arrogant, Stubborn, Cautious, and
a Monologuer, in order to explain his complex
plan.
Robur the Conqueror is a Street Fighter.
Personally, he is not very dangerous. His
vehicles are his weapons, and he has vehicles
which combine all the best features of futuristic
air, ground, and water vehicles. A sample
vehicle might look like this:

MONSTROSITY
Give the Monstrosity Hard to Kill, so that it can
come back in later sessions like a slasher
villain. Indeed, the Horror Companion will give
you some additional ideas for Monstrosities of
the Weird Science or supernatural varieties. It is
probably an Outsider and Ugly. If not Hard to
Kill, it may be Terminally Ill, which solves the
dilemma of what to do with it once it is defeated.
Monstrosities often have a Weakness, and can
sometimes prompt Guts/Spirit checks for fear, if
you are using those rules.
The Demaniac is a Heavy Hitter, but that’s
because of his many powers rather than the
size of his attacks. This makes him a good
challenge for small groups of heroes. Players
will find him much easier to defeat if they are
able to bypass his limited armor, but even so
his regeneration will keep him coming back for
more. The easiest way to adjust him for heroes
of low power level is to reduce his Regeneration
to every minute or lower (which makes it
irrelevant in combat).

NAZI
Savage Worlds has a long association with
Nazi-punching, and this archetype is well
supported by the game line. In fact, Savage
Worlds may be the perfect system for a Golden
Age superhero game, since you already have
stats for all the weapons and vehicles, and
heroes of the early Golden Age were more
modest in power level (and thus easier
described by the Savage Worlds system). See
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
Weird War II for much, much more.
V is a Heavy Hitter.

NEMESIS
The Nemesis shares some characteristics with
the Dark Mirror and the Evil Twin; in particular,
he is defined by the fact that he is the Enemy of
a player character. He is probably Vengeful or
has a Vow to hunt the hero down.
21
 Like the rest of the Danner family, Leopold is a
Heavy Hitter. He’s especially likely to use gear.
LEOPOLD DANNER
Nemesis, Supremacist
Attributes: Agility d10, Smarts d12, Spirit d10,

Toughness: 30 (20).
Gear: Leopold usually carries a pistol; when in
public, that means a concealed automatic like
the Glock. However, when he doesn't have to
worry about drawing attention, it's probably a
pulse blaster SMG. Most anything else he
needs, he can build or buy.
Hindrances: Arrogant, Cautious, Monologuer,
Vengeful (Major).

Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
NIHILIST
The Nihilist is Ruthless or has other hindrances
which encourage taking life, like Major versions
of Vengeful or Bloodthirsty. His desire for death
may stem from a Mania or he could be
Delusional. Like the Assassin, the Nihilist is a
good candidate for the No Mercy edge, an edge
normally prohibited to heroes but appropriate
for a villain who is defined by killing.
Endgame is a Four Color enemy because of his
points, but in a fight he’s really a better
challenge for Street Fighter weapon masters,
martial artists, detectives and other vigilantes.
ENDGAME
Nihilist, Gladiator, Theme Villain, Assassin
Attributes: Agility d12+4, Smarts d10, Spirit
d12, Strength d10, Vigor d10.

Cha: 0; Pace: 8; Parry: 9; Toughness: 11 (4).
Gear: Endgame’s standard uniform is Body
Armor (+4 Armor, negates AP 4 from ballistic
attacks), but he can easily upgrade to Combat
Armor (+2 additional Armor). Besides his holo-
emitters, he is rich enough to afford any
weapon or tool he thinks useful.
Hindrances: Arrogant, Quirk: Never Cheats,
Ruthless (Minor), Vengeful (Major), Wanted
(Major).

NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE
Because of the threat of radiation
contamination, the Nightmare may prompt
Guts/Spirit checks in NPCs, if you are using the
rules for fear. Heroes, however, will treat him as
just another bad guy. This very same radiation
may have made the Nightmare Ugly and
Terminally Ill, Vengeful, or just sick enough that
he has a Death Wish. He may require radiation
or nuclear fuel, a serious Dependency. His high
power level makes it likely he is The Best There
Is.
WMD would be a Heavy Hitter, except that his
many immunities bring him up to Cosmic level.
Rather than reducing his power level in Four
Color, Street Fighter and Pulp games, it
becomes all the more important to prevent him
from being awoken. When he does get involved
in a fight, he must be outwitted and tricked.
Violence is no use.

PIRATE
Savage Worlds has a lot of support for pirate
characters across the game line; start with
Pirates of the Spanish Main. You will find stats
for pirates, their vessels, and weapons, all of
which can be upgraded to a superhero setting
easily with the addition of high tech or magic.
You don’t need to change much; pirate
characters seem quite happy to use archaic
weapons in the 21st century, simply out of style.
Pirates are distinguished by their Bloodthirsty
reputations (which may not be based in fact but
which prompt fear checks aboard opposing
vessels). They are Wanted and often have
physical hindrances like One Eye, One Arm, or
One Leg. They are Outsiders who keep to their
own kind. Good Pirates are Loyal, but bad ones
are Mean. A Pirate captain will have the
Command edge and use it to control a gang of
minions who may not pose much individual
threat to the heroes, but who can make off with
plunder while the heroes are busy elsewhere.
The Hook is a Street Fighter. It cannot move or
speak without a host, but can possess anyone
who touches it. A host uses his own attributes
and skills or those of the Hook, whichever are
higher. Notably, because the Hook is a
separate character, it can take one action every
23
 turn (including a melee attack with the arm it is
attached to) while its host also acts.
THE HOOK
Pirate, Psychopath, Dominator
Attributes: Agility d8, Smarts d10, Spirit

• Super Attribute (4): Spirit 2.
• Super Skill (3): Fighting 3.
• Toughness +4 (4).
POWER CORRUPTED
If Savage Worlds encourages heroes at the
low end of the power spectrum, the Power
Corrupted archetype illustrates what happens
when this guideline is broken. The Power
Corrupted is so mighty, she now lives beyond
what the rules of the game permit, and she’s
suffering for it. You don’t need to describe her
in game mechanics, but if you do, she is a
Cosmic level character with the Mastery edge,
and she’s The Best There Is. She is Wanted by
her former allies and the law, Ruthless, and
24
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
possibly Delusional. Her monologuing serves as
a way for the heroes to figure out what to do
when their powers prove useless.
Stardust once moved the planet Mars; his
power level is beyond that which Savage
Worlds is meant to represent. However, the
mechanics provided here will give GMs
something to work with; he is written up as a
Cosmic character, but his abilities in the source
material grossly outstrips what is listed here.
Any encounter with Stardust should not hinge
on the PCs defeating him in battle; this should
be functionally impossible. The way to defeat
him is to bring his feminine side to the surface;
once Stardust begins to empathize with other
people, her crime-fighting rampage will turn to
something more subtle and, presumably, more
just.

PSYCHO
Psychopaths can be scary; see the Horror
Companion for fear rules which you might
choose to use when the Psychopath appears.
He is defined by his Mania and by other
hindrances which encourage the taking of
innocent life like Ruthless or Bloodthirsty, and
he’s probably Wanted.
The Puzzler is a Pulp Villain, though he really
has almost no powers at all. Like most Puzzle
Master villains, he is really about challenging
the hero’s intelligence rather than their martial
skills. If they can find him, they can beat him up.
THE PUZZLER
Psychopath, Theme Villain, Nemesis
Attributes: Agility d8, Smarts d12+2, Spirit d8,

• Super Skills (7): Investigation 4, Repair 3.
SERVITOR
Savage Worlds heroes will face many Servitors
in infinite variety, and the system handles all of
them well. See other archetypes like the
Temptress and Twisted Genius for advice on
the various types of Servitor. Other Savage
Worlds books, like Necessary Evil or the Horror
Companion, will give you plenty of stat blocks.
You’ll need to decide if the Servitor is Loyal or
serving due to some other motivation (like
greed or a desire to test himself against the
heroes). Servitors often have Command and
lead minions into battle while their masters flee.
Rath isn’t superhuman; he can be dangerous to
Pulp Heroes and perhaps some Street Fighters
because he’s resilient, carries a big gun, and is
accompanied by followers, but anyone with real
super powers is going to find him little more
than a speed bump. To use him in games like
that, give him super-powers in the form of a
battle suit or super-soldier serum. Toughness
and Super Attributes (Strength and Vigor) ought
to get him where you need him to be but, to
make him more memorable, consider adding
one additional secret weapon or trick which he
can use before he is defeated.
RATH
Servitor, Nazi, Comic Relief

SUPERNATURAL HORROR
The Supernatural Horror is a key archetype in
Savage Worlds gaming because there’s so
much support for it and Savage players have so
much experience in the genre. Quite simply,
occult menaces like vampires, werewolves,
zombies and demons are par for the course in
Savage Worlds, and fit on gaming tables more
easily than they might in comics or the cinema
screen. See the Horror Companion for a whole
book on filled with occult adversaries, magic,
and treasures. Also, that book has rules for fear
and madness which can be appropriate for
supernatural villains.
All of Dracula’s canonical powers make him a
Cosmic adversary, but even a well-prepared
Street Fighter can take him on. Like all fights
with vampires, victory over Dracula is really
about exploiting his weaknesses, since he is
largely immune to other damage.

SUPREMACIST
The Supremacist is Arrogant, a Monologuer,
and suffers from a racist Delusion like,
“Machines are superior to human beings.” He
may have a Vow that motivates him to make the
world a safe place for his own kind, and he
obeys a twisted Code of Honor. The
Supremacist himself probably does not feel like
an Outsider, but the people he champions may.
As a leader of an army of minions or a squad of
superhuman followers, he has Command or
Team Player and may need Extra Actions for
the day when he fights the entire hero team by
himself.
The CALIPH is a Heavy Hitter. If you want to
reduce him to Four Color status, start by
lowering his Armor and Invent. He has an army
of robot minions, but they are not individually
very dangerous. They are armed with pulse
 rifles and grenades but only become a real
threat to super heroes when they can attack in
a group.

TEMPTRESS
If she doesn’t have Mind Control, the Temptress
is Attractive and Charismatic. Mind Control in
Savage Worlds requires Smarts contests, so
she is either very intelligent or only seduces
stupid people. Long-term mind control of the
sort the Temptress displays in comics is
probably best reserved to NPCs. The
Temptress may be Yellow, and that’s why she
relies on heroes to do the killing for her.
Scheherazade is a Pulp character without
powers; if a hero is able to find her, he will
almost certainly be able to punch her out. But if
he does that, he’ll never know the end of the
story. If you want to make her more dangerous,
give her actual Mind Control which she can use
through video cameras.

 TERRORIST
The Terrorist is an archetype likely to take full
advantage of the Savage Worlds rules for
gear, often to the extent that he has no powers
at all. Likewise, Command and related edges
give him an effective group of minions willing to
die if they can take a hero with them. Terrorists
are prone to be Delusional and they are
Ruthless and Bloodthirsty; they may seem
eager to take prisoners, but those prisoners are
actually slated for public execution.
Militissa has no powers, but takes maximum
advantage of the Savage Worlds rules for gear
and equipment. She's great when you want to
send a platoon of minions against the heroes,
and she illustrates the advantages of military
weapons and ranged tactics.

Militissa has access to all the equipment
described on p12-16 of the Super Powers
Companion. In particular, she will wear combat
armor in the field (+6 Armor, resists 4 AP from
ballistic attacks), carry a Glock 9mm pistol
loaded with meta-stoppers as a personal
sidearm, and use a pulse rifle. Her Posse will
include heavier weapons like pulse cannons
and nullifier guns.

THEME VILLAIN
The Theme Villain is distinguished by his Quirk.
He avoids the lethality common to other villains,
is more likely to be motivated by Greed or
Arrogance, and may even have a Code of
Honor that ensures he leaves the hero alive
(and his secret identity unrevealed).
Nevertheless, he is probably Wanted and he
may be an Enemy of a PC. He wields a
Trademark Weapon which is in keeping with his
theme, and has Command over a small number
of loyal minions dressed and armed
appropriately.
The Baron is a Pulp Villain who relies on gear
instead of powers; even a rocket pack is
relatively mundane in a superhero setting.
Whenever he is on a caper, he is accompanied
by the Flying Circus, minions armed and
equipped as he is but with only d8 Agility, d8+2
Piloting, and d8 Shooting.

(Armor +4, resists 4 AP from ballistic attacks).
He carries a Luger (Range 12/24/48, Damage

 with two machine guns (Range 50/100/200,

THIEF
A Thief begins with the Thief edge, but is also
Greedy and Wanted. She has Connections in
the criminal underworld or in the social group
which includes her targets (the Art World, for
instance, or Politicians) and avoids fighting,
suggesting she might be Yellow or even a
Pacifist. 21st century thieves need to be
technologically savvy as well as sneaky.
The 40 Thieves are not easily replicated in
Savage Worlds, where Maureen would require
over 120 points in the Duplication power. As
represented here, she has the highest
Duplication possible. This makes her a Cosmic
level character, even though she is otherwise
easily defeated by Street Fighters. You might
choose to ensure that there are never more
than a dozen of her in any one scene, while
allowing her additional duplicates to be
conducting operations “off camera” while the
heroes are busy.

Gear: The 40 Thieves acquire specialized

includes climbing and rappelling gear, vehicles,
portable computers and cellphones, gear to
defeat electronic security systems, non-lethal
weaponry such as tasers and gas, first aid kits,
and light body armor (Armor 4, resist 4 AP from
ballistic attacks). They do not, however, need
communication gear.

TWISTED GENIUS
The Twisted Genius is Arrogant and must prove
his intelligence to everyone. However, he may
be Yellow, be consumed by Mania, or suffer
from a Delusion that has forced him away from
mundane society. He’s likely to be a
Monologuer who brags about his brilliance
when he has the heroes on the ropes. Although
he has the Invent power and some Devices that
he is most famous for, he also has a stockpile
29
 of gear of his own invention. He may be served
by robots or genetic creations which act as
minions.
Doctor Radium is a Heavy Hitter whose Invent
power exceeds the normal limits thanks to his
Best There Is edge; to reduce him to a Four
Color character, reduce Invent to level 10 and
reduce his Super Skills to make up the rest. His
Invent power uses Knowledge (Weird Science)
instead of (Engineering); this skill covers
strange and bizarre technology from the
Victorian Era through the Pulps, including all
the imaginings of science fiction authors from
that period. It includes biological sciences as
well as mechanical ones. Tailor his arsenal to
include both useful devices the heroes will fear
and unusual machines which add memorable
color.

ULTIMATE VILLAIN
The Ultimate Villain needs to be powerful
enough to fight all the heroes at once; that
means she is at the upper end of the Savage
Worlds scale, but not so high that she goes “off
the charts” and can no longer be fought at all (in
contrast to the Cosmic Menace, Force of
Nature, or Imp). Consider giving her Extra
Actions so that she can threaten multiple
heroes on her turn. She may be a Team Leader
with additional villains serving beneath her, and
use Command to order around a large group of
minions. She is Overconfident or Arrogant,
possibly a Monologuer, but may have a Code of
Honor. The Best There Is may not be useful
because she has multiple powers at high level.
She is Vengeful, so that after the heroes send
her packing in their first session, she returns
again and again.
Apocrypha is a Cosmic level threat. Many of her
abilities — such as the power to observe and
steal city-sized chunks of reality from across the
dimensional barrier — are “off the scale” of
Savage Worlds heroes and become plot
devices in the hands of the Game Master.

VIGILANTE
The Vigilante is Bloodthirsty, Ruthless, and
Wanted. Traditional Vigilantes have no powers
at all, just a lot of edges, gear, and skills,
probably including a Trademark Weapon. The
Vigilante may have a Quirk to remind everyone
who did the killing (“Justice is served!”) and to
build his reputation. Combat edges are a must,
as the Vigilante has honed himself through
many battles into a lethal weapon. He is
probably Charismatic, which is part of the
reason why so many normal people sympathize
with him. These sympathizers may be
Connections.
The Black Terror is a Heavy Hitter. His lethal
poison gas can cause chaos at the game table,
so consider how the players will respond to it. If
they seek out gas masks or other equipment,
that will give them the edge. On the other hand,
if the Terror has done his homework and knows
the heroes are after him, he can use Invent to

prepare specialized attacks which exploit their
weaknesses, melt their gas masks, or enable
him to escape.

WARLOCK
Magic has a distinguished role in Savage
Worlds, and you have many resources for
making your Warlock interesting and
challenging. You might get ideas from books
like the Fantasy or Horror Companion, where
you will find magical monsters and minions who
can serve the Warlock and give her a fighting
chance when a team of heroes bursts down the
door to her sanctum. Many of the artifacts and
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
other occult objects described in those books
make perfectly good MacGuffins for the
Warlock to quest after, especially if you amplify
their power level to something more appropriate
to a super powers game. The Warlock may be
uncommon in superhero comics and very rare
in superhero film, but every gamer knows what
an evil wizard is, and they’re happy to fight one.
For this reason alone, the Warlock is a no-
brainer for your Savage Worlds campaign.
The Beetle is a Four Color villain, but her power
level should be adjusted to match your most
magically-oriented player character. In
particular, her Super Sorcery is as potent as her
power level permits, so that is where your
modifications should start. Give her plenty of
Minions and some Servitors to help keep other
heroes busy when the team catches her in her
lair. If you play up the transgressive horror of
her Victorian incarnation, she will prompt fear
and terror checks.

extremely resilient, resourceful, and dangerous
in a fight. Thanks to various edges and her high
Yann EECKHOUDT (Order #41231308)
Strength, she inflicts d12+18+d6 with an
unarmed attack (with a d8 on a raise instead of
a d6). In addition to the powers listed here, she
can perform a power stunt with Intangibility to fill
a Medium Burst Template, centered on herself,
with the green mist; this is very difficult to see
through, inflicting a -4 penalty to attacks and
perception. Her signature move, the
Jawbreaker in Twilight, is a martial arts attack
that uses the Automatic Fire rules with a RoF of
3. It is usually paired with her Intangibility stunt,
so that the defender does not see her attack
coming.

The Black Fury is a Pulp Hero. He doesn’t do a
lot of damage, nor is he especially difficult to
hurt. This makes him best suited for taking on
criminals and terrorists who have no super
powers of their own. His occasional use of
bizarre wonder-weapons like the Metal Menace
or the organic-dissolving fluid is best simulated
by spending bennies for one-shot uses of
whatever Weird Science the GM permits.

Aurelia, like the rest of the Danner family, is a
Heavy Hitter. Her leadership qualities, however,
often put her in charge of other heroes and, in a
story which unites all the heroes of the
YOUniverse, even heroes like Isis and the
Veteran look to her.

The Green Turtle is a Heavy Hitter, but because
he is an inventor constantly adding and
modifying the Shell, he is an especially good
candidate for the “Rising Stars” rule. He has a
solid set of attack, defense, and movement
powers, making him well rounded and a good
character for players who like to be good at
everything. He’s especially useful when it
comes to rescuing civilians, and his Force
Fields can be used in team situations to help an
ally hero absorb punishment. However, targets
with superhuman Toughness are a bit out of his
league.

one-woman war on militant extremism.
NIGHT BIRD
Dark Avenger, Gadget Guy, Master of the

• Super Edge (4): Improved Martial Artist,
Improved Nerves of Steel.
• Super Skill (5): Fighting 1, Intimidation 1,
Investigation 1, Notice 1, Stealth 1.
Night Bird has no true powers, just a whole lot
of edges, some gear, and a hard-hitting punch
(d12+1d6+2, and d8 on a raise). That means
that, when super-villains appear, he is relegated
to a support role. If you are using him as a
player character, choose a player who will be
comfortable with this role. He excels, however,
in out-of-combat scenes where his investigative
skills come to the fore. He's also great at taking
care of minions while the team's heavy-hitters
face down the Conqueror.
