When I was 8 years old, there was a Saturday-morning program that I really enjoyed called

Super 6

. It was about a superhero employment agency and featured their six top agents. Here are my favorites but not, of course, in their original style:

Super-Bwoing, Granite-Man and Elevator Man

half a dozen bolts of power...and a BOLT who is a NUT

[Legatus]

From my Tagar Chronicles:
Morning Star: one of the rebels, he lives on Earth now, married a terrestrial woman; he should be armed with ball & chain though
Count Demarian: leader of the Tagarian forces my players met first, a very evil man
Grefton: a hunter for Demarian
Draylon: captain of Demarian's palace guards

Captain Zammo and Private Hammo, Magnet-o Man, Super Scuba, and Scortch

This is Magnet-o Man. He cannot be seen.

How the hell are you guys able to do these? Every time I try I'm stymied by the language barrier.

Just play around with it for a start and soon you'll figure it out.
I don't speak Portuguese (although my Spanish is a bit of help), and all I did was trial and error.
It's a fun toy, so go and play.

it does take practice and patience.
Baloo don't speak Portugese, and look at him...

Here are a couple of the badguys from Gatchaman:
Berg Katse and a Galactor agent

Let me just reinforce what the others have said. I started out with the trial and error method too, but after a while, it became a lot easier. You get to the point where you just know, "Okay, this word means pants, that button on the right does the mouth, etc." It'll come with time and practice, and before long, you won't be able to tear yourself away. Look at me, for instance....

Of course, I did have some Spanish, too, but that was over 20 years ago.

Okay, two more pics today. These are pics of a character I wish I got to play more often: Onyx, Sentinel of the Stones!

Onyx has the ability to project stones at his target for a number of different effects. That's right, his superpower is throwing rocks.

If he gets into a really tough fight, he has one other really helpful ability: he can turn his entire body to stone. This makes him a formidable hand-to-hand fighter, with exceptional strength and defenses.

The pictures below show him in his normal human form and in his stone form, respectively.

I am currently in a re-read of Champions of the North (4E). Basically I was searching for interesting characters to change and play around with. And I just realized how well suited a lot of characters from the book are to be presented in Animated style. Here are the heroines from the Sentinels :

And here are Ambrosia and her villainous twin sister Aura.

You're building outward, so the first tab is skin coloration and physical features (tail, horns, animal head, etc.) The second tab is spandexy-tight clothing, the third is bulky stuff and ornaments IIRC. You are always building outward so if there are multiple options for one feature you can overlay the features (my guy's football helmet is actually two items, a half-helmet and a seperate chinguard.) You have to get in the habit of coloring in selections as you go because it is a PITA to go back and color features in later.

I think Rosetta Stone is missing out on a killer idea. Make a sweet game in whatever language the customer wants to learn and they will if they want to play badly enough.
