Thor? I had not yet thought of Mythic that way. I'd thought of Percy Jackson, Hercules, Perseus, and a score of other god-mortal offspring, but not Thor. Now I have to expand my cache of story ideas!
If memory serves, the flavor text associated with the Mythic Origin mentions something along the lines of a tall blonde godling. Additionally, the expert power deals electric damage so to a Thor fan it just screams THOR!!!.
One player in my group is playing Morgan Freeman as his Mythic character.
That is bloody awesome. What is his other origin?

It does describe that, but its among other examples. But the reference is VERY obvious.
'You might be. . . . a blonde-haired Nordic with a lantern jaw and a big hammer'

I like the combination of radioactive and felinoid.
I shoot radioactive hairballs and curl up at the bottom of radioactive pits for a nice nap like a kitten in a sunbeam.
I've based the character upon the personality traits of my kitten, Taters. All id.
D&D & Boardgames
If I have everything I need to run great games for many years without repeating stuff, why do I need to buy anything right now?

While I've never actually played as one, Mythic seems the most interesting as it basically takes one origins and turns it into a legendary/god charcater.
Felinoid - Bast or another Egyptian Cat-god
Yeti - The Wendigo
Demon - Satan
Android - Um...Memnarch?
Electrokinetic - Hoo boy, Thor, Zeus, really any thunder god...
Gelatinous - The Blob
Octopoid - Cthulhu

I've got a player who rolled a gelatinous android. He's a T-1000. Awesome.

Love it! And this will be the BBEG in the next encounter series for my every-other-Tuesday-night game.
Here are the PHB essentia, in my opinion: - Three Basic Rules (p 11)
- Power Types and Usage (p 54)
- Skills (p178-179)
- Feats (p 192)
- Rest and Recovery (p 263)
- All of Chapter 9 [Combat] (p 264-295)
A player needs to read the sections for building his or her character -- race, class, powers, feats, equipment, etc. But those are PC-specific. The above list is for everyone, regardless of the race or class or build or concept they are playing.

The Shapeshifter has to be the coolest for any campaign that is more than a "dungeon" crawl. On a slap-stick note, redux Yeti origin as Honey Badger. If you aren't familiar (a lot of profanity, be warned): www.youtube.com/watch?v=c81bcjyfn6U

Don't thank me. Thank James Cameron.
