Poll: Batman RPG

[snakevin]

Hey guys, I am currently making a batman rpg, where the characters will play as henchmen of the villains and will gain powers similar to theirs, I have everything worked out, I have even used tips from "Check For Traps". The only problem is, I am trying to make up powers for some of the guys, that will be balanced with the others. I am going to be running a first level campign on my birthday, and I need help with it. here are the villians who henchmen need tweaking:
Black Mask http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080528022433/Batman/images/9/94/200px-Black_Mask_1.jpg
Clayface (late Basil Karlo) http://xce.xanga.com/d94c6a3a18531220022178/z172484046.jpg
Firefly http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090306215640/Batman/images/1/1a/200px-Firefly_1.jpg
Hugo Strange http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080528010427/Batman/images/4/42/Hugo_Strange_1.jpg
The Joker http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090721072605/Batman/images/d/da/TheJoker_01.jpg
Man-Bat http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080525161425/Batman/images/7/73/ManBat.jpg
Mr. Freeze http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081007164719/Batman/images/2/23/MFnB.jpg
The Penguin http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080530171803/Batman/images/7/74/500px-Penguin_003.jpg
Poison Ivy http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080228205733/Batman/images/0/0d/PoisonIvy.jpg
The Riddler http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090721070117/Batman/images/c/ce/Riddler_02.jpg
The Scarecrow http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080215005509/Batman/images/9/98/Scarecrow.jpg
Twoface http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080527234022/Batman/images/f/f9/Animated_Two-Face_2.jpg
The Ventriloquist http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090604002741/Batman/images/6/6c/Ventriloquist_03.jpg

That are all the villains the players can work for, so now, I just need your guys help to figure out some level 1 powers for them, if you don't mind.

EDIT: i am also going to allow some guys to be vigilantes, to show the other side of the story, so yeah

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Clayface. Mainly because he has one of my favorite villain powers.

What powers should a level one henchman get for working with him?

I'd go for maybe a morphing limb. Or maybe a hand or foot.

Hmmm, I was having an idea like they could fully morph their body, but that sounds better to me

 

[snakevin]

Any more suggestions?

 

[snakevin]

Should I include Mad Hatter by any chance, or would mind control seem a little un balanced?

 

[snakevin]

Who ever polled that they wanted to work for someone, can you please specify?

I like the riddler, would be fun helping him set up his riddles and challenges.

Do you have any idea how I could put a henchmen of his in the game and give them a fairly good power, by any chance? If you do, would you kindly please tell me?

hmmm off the top of my head I can only think of a device that increases your brain power or some sort of cane that has a special function, like knockout gas or an electric shock and the riddler could always use an assistant to help set up the complex brain teasers he`s known for.

Hmm, maybe, but I am looking for something more extravagant.

For the penguin, mabye control over birds? It was the power of my old charecter in a superhero RP I once did.

Well, control over birds seems sort of out of place, maybe a bird companion

How's about an umbrella that gets better and better upgrades when you level up? Like, a hidden rifle for level one, then more complex weapons, like tazers and freeze rays?

 

[Stone Wera]

I think it could work if...

He was weak and relied on stealth, if they saw him they could resist, lowering the chances of a successful mind control. And also if he could only control one person at a time, this would mean after his mind slave was through he would have a harder time taking control of the next one, making the slave they have all the more important.

That actually sounds like a good idea, sort of like a warforged and components.

This also sounds like a good idea, but i still think that complete mind control seems a little OP

That's why there's so many limitations. If you need another, inability to use anything other than small caliber pistols is up there... But it's all the way on the top shelf... Might want to get a step ladder.

Hmm, that actually sounds ok, but what kind of mind control, like the card mind control or the hats?
