SuperFriends the RPG

[Law Dog]

Okay, here's the scenario. You're at your local con and signed up for the SuperFriends RPG. Unfortunately, the Sailor Moon RPG ran overtime and by the time you get to the game, everybody else grabbed up all the good characters. You have these choices.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

[Agent Escafarc]

I choose Gleek after all he has a real superpower his tail

[misterdeath]

El Dorado. Because nobody knew what powers he had, not even he did.

"I'll swirl my cape thingy and use my Mind Control Powers."

(My wife is convinced that it's because All Poorly Drawn Mexicans look alike. This week Jose is out with back strain, so Jesus comes in. Now, they look alike, thanks to crappy Superfriends artwork, so nobody knows the difference. And this time El Dorado uses his fire vision powers. Next time Enrique is in the costume, and he's got mental powers. Next time, Jose's back, and he's pretty good in a fight, but has no real powers.)

Well, with my luck, I'd show up and have the GM foist Zan upon me and neither he nor anybody else would be running Jayna.

I went with Apache Chief. Growing bricks are neat.

However any of the others would be okay...
except Gleek.
I would play any of the other characters with the express goal of killing that monkey. I hated Gleek.
If I were playing:
Apache Chief : "Ooops.. I seem to have a blue smear on the bottom of my moccasin."
Samuraii: "Nee Haikuu... my whirl wind seems to have sent Gleek back into space. Good, he will be happier there."
Black Vulcan: (Look left, look right, then barbecue him) "He must have stuck his tail in an outlet."
El Dorado: (run cape over him and banish him forever)"Now for my next magical trick."
Aquaman: "Go on Gleek, play with the jelly fish.... go ahead. They don't bite."

I hate Gleek.

Dude. Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.

Hermit, did you have a bad childhood exsperience with one of those mechanical monkeys with the cymbols

[Hermit]

Did I mention I hate Gleek?

(Not too fond of the Wonder Twins either.)

[Bartman]

I chose Samurai because none of the writers seemed to remember from week to week what his powers were. He could turn into living flame, go invisable, turn into a hurricane, fly, and lots of other cute one shot power tricks. So either he had a VPP or several thousand points worth of every power in the book.

Besides at least he is not Gleek.

Yeah, I had fantasies as a child of Marvin, Wendy, Kairo, the Twins, Wonderdog, and Gleek all tied together and thrown into a volcano. I always wanted to scream at the TV, "If I wanted to see children acting stupid, I'll hang out with my friends." I wasn't watching SFs to see the sidekicks, so why did they waste so much screen time on them.

Amen!

Actually Bartman, I felt about the same way as a kid. I know it is part of a marketing scheme to get kids to 'relate', but at the time I found it insulting to my intelligence (Not that Super Friends was high theatre *S*).

[TheEmerged]

El Dorado: Teleportation. Cape. Illusions. Yep, that's about the best power set on the list

Even at 8, I can remember the whole thing being insulting. I always wondered why Superman just didn't use his heat vision to burn the villains head off. It's so much more expediant.
