POWERS & ABILITIES
(*=Linked)
Darkforce Black Mamba has the ability to project a cloud of extradimensional energy known as the Darkforce. After she has telepathically scanned the mind of an opponent for a single image of some trusted friend or companion, usually of the opposite sex. She then conceals an inky cloud of Darkness as a Mental Illusion of that friend or companion that attempts to embrace the target. The Mental Illusion is resolved normally with an AV/EV of 11/11 against an OV/RV equal to the target's INT/MIND. If RAPs are gained, it allows the Darkness to approach and embrace the character. The Darkness engages in a grappling attack with a Strength equal to the APs of power (typically 9) the Grapple is resolved with AV/EV of 9/9 with the opponents DEX/BODY as the OV/RV. Positive RAPs are applied to the opponent as Lethal Bashing damage. The Darkforce continues to crush the opponent each round.
Feedback Bombardment of the Darkforce projection by energy attacks related to heat or light (such as flames, lasers, etc.) will disrupt the illusion, and RAPs gained by such attack are transferred to Black Mamba with the AV/EV equal to RAPs gained vs an OV/RV of Tanya's WILL/MIND.
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Black Mamba is a lover, not a fighter, but she can be ruthless and seems to enjoy watching her victims smother to death in the arms of a "trusted companion." If threatened or wounded, she will flee. In a group melee, she will pick a single opponent and attack him or her, leaving her companions to handle the rough stuff. She is romantically involved with Sidewinder and is completely loyal to him.

Exusiai's Notes I've had the OHOTMU for years now, and I always wondered how I would write this bio up. Thankfully the World At War sourcebook gives us Nacht a German Nazi character who is a good baseline for how Mamba works. Again, she is a bit more than the typical x1 Serpents, but still a good challenge for starting players.
