Our MCUv2 "Ultimate Skills & Talents" List, the "U" standing for "ultimate" represents a base of possiblities from which to create your characters skill list. The purpose of the list is to assist you when creating a character by giving you a categorized list of possiblities to look at, from which you can draw inspiration from to flesh out your character. Everything here is a starting point, of which you are encouraged to borrow as deeply from as you like — This list exists for the sole purpose of helping you polish your character, nothing less, nothing more.
If you are logged in to MCu, you will notice that all the descriptions will personalize themselves based on your personal description of yourself. If you have a character which you are currently actively working on, the descriptions will then personalize themselves to reflect your character. If you like a particular skill, you can instantly add it to your character with a single button click, and then you can further tailer it to your character until it's just right; If you have more than one character in the works, Captain Example will be used as a placeholder, all pronouns will be listed in the third person neutral.
With the advent of phase three coming, we will be creating an inherent combat resolution system to help members when they are drafting fights by providing character results which members may use or discard as they see fit. The main purpose for this is so that when a member is writing a reply, they can see how the results are playing out and can adapt and adjust their character actions based on the current situation.
E.G. Captain Example is in the midst of battle unaware that General NoGautnix has drawn a bead on him and hurled a dagger directly at his back with lethal intent! Luckily for Captain Example, their partner Miss Ida Rupting saw this and hurled a stack of books into the air between Captain Example's back and the venomous blade of the NoGautnix. Imma Next, an ally of Captain Example saw the general throw his blade, and witnessed it successfully interrupted by Ida's action, this allows Imma Next to continue to push their two-fisted actions towards the general rather than wasting a round trying to protect Captain Example when someone else already has; It will allow us to eliminate huge "respond-to-all-my-god-this-is-confusing" replies and hopefully free up bottlenecking caused by waiting on such time consuming replies.
When we start to bring this system online you will see that the descriptions here will start to list skill mechanics, noting the kinds of bonuses a character might gain with any particular listed skill or talent.
If you are logged into the site, and have a character indevelopment, you will see a button with the that character's name on it. Click that button, and the skill and description will automatically be added to your character. You can then tailor the description to fit your character exactly.
the secret ID part of the characters, giving them realistic professions. In the old system it was taken that the character with Medicine talent was a podiatrist/surgeon/pediatrics/oncologist etc. Now, there are talent categories and these break down further into the specific talents. Taking multiple talents in one category can enhance and have positive effects in Reason FEAT bonuses or even resource bonuses. More on that later.
With detailed talents such as these, not only can the character's origin be given depth but it adds history to the player, allowing him to be unlike anyone else; i.e. Iron Man, Reed Richards, Dr. Doom and Box are all considered as having engineering talent in the old system. Booooring. Any avid reader knows that all four men use their talents in different ways. Using the Ultimate Talents List system allows your character to blast off into a specific science or skill, mastering that field much like Dr. Henry Pym, the discoverer and user of Pym Particles.
Of course, not all Marvel sciences or talents are covered since some are very secreted and known by few people like the aforementioned Doctor Pym (who has Physics-Pym Particle Physics) or the scientist who has Earth Sciences-Metallurgy-mastering the science of creating adamantium and first concocted that powerful substance. That's where your player's imagination comes in, the Ultimate Talents List just gives a better basis for growing.
Skills are divided into 25 categories: Agriculture, Alternative Sciences, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Crime, Cognitive Sciences, Computer Sciences, Earth Sciences, Engineering, Fighting, General, Humanities, Law, Liberal Arts, Medicine, Mental, Mystic, Research, Occult, Other, Physics, Piloting, & Weapons. Each category describes traits specific to one aspect of a character.
As noted above, a skill (or talent) represents a measureable area of chararacter expertise of an approved character. What this means is that if your character is a Grand Prix race car driver, then they would have the drive skill denoting they are a skilled driver, if they are not a Grand Prix race car driver, or the equivlant there too, don't bother listing the skill; Some characters may have no skills, and that's ok. Mechanics-wise, a skill provides a bump (column shift bonus) to any skill-based action.
All skils must be justified by the character's backstory, meaning that while the backstory might not specifically, if the character is a bio-chemist, we expect that character history will reflect this point. Perhaps they went to college, maybe they were a chemistry nerd in highschool who was really really intrigued by the ingredient discription on the back of the box of Wheaties. Whatever the reason and motivation for learning the skill or developing the talent must be present in the character history.
Below is a list of 234 descriptions (and counting) to drawn on to help flesh out your character(s). If you are currently logged into , the descriptions will be personalized to you based on your user profile. If you have a character currently in the works, the descriptions will customize themselves to your character and a button will appear with the name of your character(s), click the button and the description will automatically be added to that character, you can then tailer the final description to match your character perfectly ...
* We know that our ultimate list of skills is far from exhaustive, and if we are being honest, it's not very ultimate-ish yet, but we are working on it, check back, frequently!

Astrophysics:: Deals with the chemical and physical composition of celestial matter
Radio Astronomy:: Astronomy dealing with electromagnetic radiations of radio frequency received from outside earth's atmosphere
Stellar Cartography:: Mapping space; Celestial cartography, Uranography, Astrography, or Star cartography is the fringe of astronomy and branch of cartography concerned with mapping stars, galaxies, and other astronomical objects on the celestial sphere. Measuring the position and light of charted objects requires a variety of instruments and techniques. These techniques have developed from angle measurements with quadrants and the unaided eye, through sextants combined with lenses for light magnification, up to current methods which include computer-automated space telescopes. Uranographers have historically produced planetary position tables, star tables, and star maps for use by both amateur and professional astronomers. More recently, computerized star maps have been compiled, and automated positioning of telescopes uses databases of stars and of other astronomical objects.

Anatomy:: The branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts. Anatomy is a branch of natural science which deals with the structural organization of living things. It is an old science, having its beginnings in prehistoric times. Anatomy is inherently tied to developmental biology, embryology, comparative anatomy, evolutionary biology, and phylogeny, as these are the processes by which anatomy is generated, both over immediate and long-term timescales. Anatomy and physiology, which study the structure and function of organisms and their parts respectively, make a natural pair of related disciplines, and are often studied together. Human anatomy is one of the essential basic sciences that are applied in medicine.
Animal Behaviour:: The scientific study of animal behaviour, usually with a focus on behaviour under natural conditions, and viewing behaviour as an evolutionarily adaptive trait. Behaviourism as a term also describes the scientific and objective study of animal behaviour, usually referring to measured responses to stimuli or to trained behavioural responses in a laboratory context, without a particular emphasis on evolutionary adaptivity.[2] Throughout history, different naturalists have studied aspects of animal behaviour. Ethology has its scientific roots in the work of Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and of American and German ornithologists of the late 19th and early 20th century,[citation needed] including Charles O. Whitman, Oskar Heinroth (1871–1945), and Wallace Craig. The modern discipline of ethology is generally considered to have begun during the 1930s with the work of Dutch biologist Nikolaas Tinbergen (1907–1988) and of Austrian biologists Konrad Lorenz and Karl von Frisch (1886–1982), the three recipients of the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Ethology combines laboratory and field science, with a strong relation to some other disciplines such as neuroanatomy, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Ethologists typically show interest in a behavioural process rather than in a particular animal group, and often study one type of behaviour, such as aggression, in a number of unrelated species.
Bio-Physics:: The application of physical principles to biological problems.
Biology::
Biotechnology:: Application to biological and medical science of engineering principles or engineering equipment (as in the construction of artificial organs and bionics.
Botany:: The study of plant life.
Ecology:: The interrelationship of organisms and their environment.
Genetics:: A branch of biology dealing with hereditary and variation of organisms. Genetics allows the recognition of signs of genetic tampering, ability to note genetic abnormalities, and conduct genetic experiments or projects.
Immunology:: The science dealing with the phenomena and causes of immunity and immune responses.
Marine Biology:: The scientific study of the biology of marine life, organisms in the sea. Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy.
Micro Biology:: The study of microscopic forms of life.
Neurosciences:: Deals with nerves and nerve tissue and their relation to behavior and learning.
Parasitology:: The study of parasites on living creatures.
Pharmacology:: The science of drugs including materia medica, toxicology, and therapeutic.

Radiobiology:: Deals with the interaction of biological systems and radiant energy or radioactive materials.
Synthetic biology:: The multidisciplinary area of research that seeks to create new biological parts, devices, and systems, or to redesign systems that are already found in nature. It is a branch of science that encompasses a broad range of methodologies from various disciplines, such as biotechnology, genetic engineering, molecular biology, molecular engineering, systems biology, membrane science, biophysics, chemical and biological engineering, electrical and computer engineering, control engineering and evolutionary biology.
Xeno Biology:: A subfield of synthetic biology, the study of synthesizing and manipulating biological devices and systems.The name "xenobiology" derives from the Greek word xenos, which means "stranger, alien". Xenobiology is a form of biology that is not (yet) familiar to science and is not found in nature. In practice, it describes novel biological systems and biochemistries that differ from the canonical DNA–RNA-20 amino acid system (see central dogma of molecular biology). For example, instead of DNA or RNA, XB explores nucleic acid analogues, termed xeno nucleic acid (XNA) as information carriers.It also focuses on an expanded genetic code[4] and the incorporation of non-proteinogenic amino acids into proteins.
Zoology:: The branch of biology that studies the animal kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct, and how they interact with their ecosystems. The term is derived from Ancient Greek zoion ('animal'), and logos ('knowledge', 'study').
