4 Tasty feast-smelling steamy vapours attract victims usually into a trap perhaps built by, some target specific species. Some like faeries use man bait to trap slaves

Marvel 1950 - d100 Weird Investigations & Mysteries

In my Marvel 1949 game we advanced to 1950 - thinking each real-world month would be a game year. As the 50s roll in there are more aliens, monsters, weird creepy killers and fighting communism features than prior eras/ This table includes more occult and storage stuff for heroes to investigate. As im simulating an era of hero comics in decline vs romance, horror and true crime I will probably try to use my romance tables. Possible remaining sidekicks and child gangs might hijack their heroes in the comics as goofy kid gangs and teen romantic comedies. This table should cover more weird non supr hero adventures of 1950s pulp and cinema.

Marvel 1950 + More Crime & Problems

Had a game and decided to advance year to 1950

Featuring
Stetcho a public hero but also a lady agent dealing in the paranormal 
Blackjack a mysterious trenchcoated figure who fights crime like a shadow
Ace of Aces famous war hero and air adventurer with own island airbase
Digger a aussie war hero starting to have some alien flashbacks

While waiting for everyone Ace of Aces and Stretch battled one of city gangs robbing a payroll with a robot in a truck as backup. Once Digger arrived on field and helped finish they went to their mission to a secret nazi clone lab where all the staff were hitler clones and Ace got stunned and shot by a hitler gardener while rest of team destroyed a lab as some scientists had the DrStrong mk1 formula so a few super adolfs to smash also. Digger threw a grenaide at the scientist responsible and ace when he got rid of the hitlers shooting him stopped the scientist's escape, All the hitlers were rounded up and sent to a secret internment camp. None were killed and they were all less old than 2 years.

Later they went after some more gangs and were joined by blackjack. They saw the gang before who use robots raid a rival butcher gang who all were jacked up on DrStrong formula. While heroes busy with temporarily strong muscles. Even boss one who stuck many syringes into themselves and kept growing muscles. Blackjack cleaned up all the normal gangsters easily.  

Was an incident transporting the clone scientist to Europe and a enemy clone of a nazi villain dressed as an American hero tried to intercept them but they got away by going to sonic speeds.

As it's now heading into the 50s more monsters, aliens and communists will feature, Sir Reginald Styles of the Department of Superhuman Affairs is gone. Now they will have Australian Paranormal Intelligence Service which doesn't want to chase nazis to bring them to justice but recruits them to fight Russia. Odds are now industrial or millitary espionage is Russia or aliens or some of the new secret societies emerging.

The superhuman test treaty bans will be signed by the world
The Superhero code of conduct is being prepared
Trials for unheroic activities have destroyed the reputations of many heroes and will probe every hero.
Most heroes are millitary agents and some quit over this.


------------------------------------------------------------

More encounters with less crime but the possibility to insert contacts, meet people, earn karma or popularity. 

Replace any innocents with a hero's contacts for extra excitement to make it personal.

Yes this is utterly cynical awful pulp city stuff.
