Welcome to the Marvel Champions Universe UniverseL Resource Toolbox (MCU). Creating a new character can sometimes feel overwhelming—whether you’re starting fresh or deep into development. That’s why we’ve curated our Reference Library: a collection of pre-written, versatile descriptions for powers, abilities, and traits. It’s designed to help you seamlessly integrate common concepts into your character's profile without the mental overload of starting from scratch. Think of it as your creative shortcut.
    Need a concise description for a character with self-propelled/unassisted flight? We’ve got you covered. The Reference Library contains detailed, yet flexible, descriptions that outline general powers and abilities. You can copy and paste these directly into your character sheet, then tailor them to fit your character's unique style or origin. For example, the mechanics of unassisted flight are universal, but how it looks for each character can be wildly different. Let’s break that down:

General Description of Unassisted Flight: The character is capable of self-propelled flight without the need for external assistance. Their body manipulates forces around them, allowing them to lift off the ground, maneuver in three-dimensional space, and accelerate to high speeds.
    Now, let’s see how this basic description can be modified for different characters:
    Cannonball from the X-Men propels himself using the explosive force of his own body. His flight is erratic but powerful, with trails of energy blasting out from his feet, leaving him rocketing through the sky like a human missile.
Cannonball’s body generated concussive energy blasts, propelling him into the air with explosive bursts of power. His trajectory was often wild, but his speed made him nearly unstoppable in motion.
    Captain Marvel of the Avengers, on the other hand, glides effortlessly through the atmosphere with smooth, controlled precision. Her flight is powered by cosmic energy, allowing her to accelerate rapidly or hover with grace, appearing almost serene.
Captain Marvel’s cosmic powers enabled her to fly seamlessly through the air. She maneuvered with precise control, her body glowing faintly as she harnessed pure energy to propel herself at incredible speeds.
    Each description starts from the same place—unassisted flight—but evolves to fit the character’s identity and power set. That’s the beauty of our Reference Library: you get the foundation, but the creative control is yours.

How It Works

When you’re in the process of developing your character, simply browse our library, click on a description you like, and instantly add it to your character sheet. Afterward, you can tweak it directly from your character page, molding it to fit your character’s history, powers, and personality.
    Why do we do this? It’s simple. We want to show you how we like things written/described, and we want to make sure you have the tools to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or just need a little inspiration, our Reference Library is here to help.
    If you’re feeling blocked during the creation process, lean on these descriptions. Then, personalize them, turning a shared foundation into something wholly unique. Borrow liberally, adapt often, and make your character shine.
