Recently I've become interested in Wild Talents 2e, an incredibly versatile Superhero TTRPG that uses the One-Roll Engine (ORE) in order to allow the player a great deal of freedom when it comes to character creation. Since I also like trying to represent fictional characters in games and seeing how close I can get, I decided to create this thread to do exactly that, as well as to get other people involved in the process.
If you want to get Wild Talents yourself, there is an Essential Edition that is only $5 which provides the basic rules. You can also get the full book for $20, which provides some additional worldbuilding information and example characters.
Some ground rules:
-In most games, there is a 250 point limit for creating characters. While there is no such restriction here, it is recommended if you are attempting to make a character which is generally allowable in a standard Wild Talents game.
-There is no limitations for creating characters in terms of whether or not they are canonical. However, on grounds of common decency, if it's something that would go against forum rules, then it isn't allowed. Otherwise, feel free to make whatever you want!
-If there is something you are unfamiliar with or a rule you need to ask more about, I've provide some information below to help out. You may also ask someone who is more familiar with the rules.
There also is some articles which provide tips and tricks for how to play which can be found here. Here are some I recommended looking at:
Happy creating!

- How to Play Wild Talents: Gives an overview of the basic rules for Wild Talents, which can help if you don't want to pay upfront.
- A 'One Roll Engine' Tutorial: Gives an overview for how to use the One Roll Engine.
- The Guide to Ultimate Power (1, 2, 3, 4, 5): Shows how versatile powers can be, as well as shows just how strong you can make a character within the standard 250 point limit. It even gives examples of how to replicate abilities from various superheroes, if you want to create a version of a character that most game masters will allow for.
- Powerset (Speedster, Brick, Super Genius, Shapeshifter, Super Vehicles): Provides a blueprint for building common power sets that are featured in Super Hero settings.
