That's what I meant by my comment to Vitenka. I think Flechette should be white (she's motivated by duty and uses ranged weapons) and Foil should be red (she's motivated by love and has switched to using melee weapons).
We don't have to have the two different versions, naturally. But the set is more interesting with more cards in it, and a character name change (especially paired with an allegiance change) is a natural point to create a second card for the character.

Hmm. Do they need to be separated into different characters? Her personality doesn't change much, even though her name does. If anything, she's more white as Flechette.
I was assuming that either we'd leave type Legendary off the named parahumans, or we'd have legends at common. It's so natural to want to play with the dozens of named characters, I can't see the appeal to deciding that they all have to be uncommon or higher and making up a bunch of common cards that aren't parahumans. Some of our ideas seem fine for common, such as Foil and Legend.
I put less thought into her P/T than anything else, but she has less toughness because it's mentioned several times that she's the physically easiest to defeat out of the first three Endbringers.
Well... she is a huge flying angel of death. She feels like the most white-suited of the Endbringers to me. Though I guess I could see it for Khonsu or Tohu/Bohu.
My struggle with Leviathan is that he really wants to have double strike, even though everything else about him is blue.
My struggle with the Endbringers in general is that they all really want to be huge scary things with an anti-cheat ability, but the wordiness of my concepts and the general ideas there don't really lend themselves to that — see Khonsu, The Simurgh, and Behemoth.
Hmm. Indeed, the Simurgh is most certainly blue. It's bizarre to see you putting her in white, even if you've made the abilities make sense mechanically.

Not a perfect representation, but Dragon has a lot of facets.

And further away from the power in question.
However, if you remove the tap activation, and the creature said "at the beginning of your upkeep", we'd be firmly back in red town.
Hmm. This is generally a blue effect.

I don't see the green for him. His dynakinesis really says red to me.
Yeah, I would think so. The struggle here is that this "set" wants to contain a lot of legendary creatures, which puts them all at rare.
Nice take on her walking bomb ability. Why 4/2?
(Crosslinking the other for each of discussion: The Simurgh.)

I'm not sure it's worth bothering with a texty anti-cheat ability.
Behemoth is the other take we tried on Behemoth. I said over there I wasn't sure whether to put him in red, green or black.
True. Green works for his personality too, so changed.
That she does. I like this take. Rare, presumably?
Agreed. Foil is clearly red. What colour would you say for Flechette?

This is perhaps not quite as impressive as it should be.
I like this except for the fact that you've put it into the wrong color. It's green.

Both this and the character seem red to me.
Skitter is a blue character, not a white character. Color-shifted. Needs work, though I still like the concept as a representation of the character.
I got a bit carried away adding black effects. Regent's character is very black to me, but in Magic, his powers are blue.
