Rom and Company Marvel Super Heroes Role-Playing Game Stats

The following infomation is summarized from "Dire Invasion" by Williams Tracy which appeared in Dragon #112 (1986). Quite frankly, I had forgotten about it until Nick Evanko asked for it for his Marvel Super Heroes RPG Page. Since I went to the trouble to type it up for him, I thought I'd HTMLize it for my page. If your browser doesn't support tables, I have also provided a plain text version.

Special Attack

Barbed tongue with acid could instantly penetrate human skull. Excellent damage to armor each turn. Monstrous or better material could not be penetrated. Range of one area. Must completely surprise victim or grapple with hold result. Referee should allow dodge or escape roll since hit means instant death. Right after hit, victim turns to dust and Wraith can become perfect duplicate of victim, including memories and voice. Physical abilities become those of new form and lose all abilities except shape-shifting. If more damage taken than new form can take, revert to original form and retain damage.
