Biography
Identity, origin & background
Biography
Rank measures your training and power — it sets your ability score point budget, how many power sets/powers/traits you can pick, and it also equals your starting Karma.
Origin explains how your hero got their powers — it automatically grants a package of traits and tags tied to that origin (for example, Mutant, Weird Science, or Magic).
Occupation is your hero's civilian job or role — it grants its own package of traits and tags on top of the ones from your Origin, reflecting the skills of that career.
Background
📊 Rank Builds
Rank Builds is an optional tool (not part of the official rules): snapshot each rank's build under one character as you play from civilian to hero. Flip the toggle to enable it.
📏 Size Reference
Speed and Defense modifiers by size category — the same table the app uses for Growth/Shrinking and vehicle sizing.

from Sturdy / Flexible Bones / Reinforced Skeleton
Damage Reduction lowers an attacker's damage multiplier by this amount before a hit lands on you — if it drops their multiplier below 1, the attack does no damage at all. Bonuses don't stack; only the largest one applies.
0
from Uncanny
Works the same way as Health Damage Reduction, but against attacks and effects that drain your Focus instead of your Health — it lowers the attacker's multiplier before the hit lands.
+0
= Vigilance score
Initiative decides turn order in combat — everyone rolls a d616 at the start of a fight and adds this modifier, then acts from highest to lowest. It's equal to your Vigilance score.
Speed
spaces · 1 space = 5 ft. · Combat / Out of Combat
Speed sets how far you move on a movement action. Run Speed starts at 5 spaces, +1 for every full 5 points of Agility (and ±1 for Big/Small size); Climb, Jump, and Swim Speed are each half your Run Speed.
Damage
dMarvel × Rank + Ability Score · Power bonuses add to the multiplier
Damage on a hit is the Marvel die roll × your damage multiplier (usually equal to your Rank, though some powers raise it), plus the score of the ability you attacked with.
