I believe somewhere in one of the Champions supplements (possibly an old
Adventurer's Club or one of their modules) exists a bunch of tables for
creating a random Champions character.  The character that came out could
be pretty wierd.  The basic way it worked was that you chose from a list
of classes like Energy projector, Martial Artist, Brick, etc.. and then 
rolled on a bunch of tables to find their powers, skills and disads.

Does anyone out there remeber where this thing was?
