The Gamera series had a great influence on Ikara Takimoto and as an expert chemist he attempted to develop a formula for making giant turtles. He was just about to test his newest version, when a radical environmental group burst in. Freeing his turtle subjects they injected him with several of his formulas. Hey if he was willing to inject his turtles with them... When he woke up he found he could transform into a giant turtle like creature, so carrying his chemical weapons he became Gartule

Although there are three characters please count this as one entry; otherwise it's cheating, especially as the whole thing is something I posted previously in another thread. I just thought they could fit in here.

 

 

Hokusai, Musashi, Hiroshige, and Sotatsu were misfits among Kappa. In all the ponds and rivers of Japan there were no four Kappa less magically adept, less interested in playing cruel and wicked tricks, or more lacking in the traditional Kappa grace and courtesy. Like all Kappa though they did love cucumbers.

 

Curiosity they had in abundance, and they were drawn to the strange folk called Americans, especially the warriors. Their garb tickled their fancy because it was a mottled green just like a Kappa's own shell and hide.

 

One day they were careless and were spotted by an old soldier who had retired. He won their trust by offering them pickles, and they were soon living in the fishpond in his garden. They used their knowledge and skill - for even the least Kappa-like of Kappas has some skill at healing - to ease the pains and incapacities of age, and in return he taught them much. He had been special forces, and such soldiers don't grow old unless they are very good indeed...

 

Now the four are masters of American commando style fighting, along with techniques of stealthy infiltration, escape and evasion, survival and navigation. Special helmets that look like GI issue but have a watertight fit protect their heads and obviate the Kappa's greatest weakness, for if the fluid filling the shallow depression in their skulls spills, they are helpless. "For honor and pickles!" is their battle cry, as they fight against petty criminals, Yakuza gangsters, and bizzarre villains, as

The palindromedary thinks I should have given them signature weapons too

You mean they are not "Adolescent Misfit Commando Kappas"?

I don't know if they care what you call them, as long as you call them when it's time for pickles.

If it has one hump call it a palindromedary, if it has two, call it a backandforthtrian.

 The Red Snapper is an armored hero working his way up and down the Mississippi. He tends to patrol the water and leave land crimefighting and rescues to other heroes. He has ranged as far north as St Louis and near the Gulf on the other end. He has a fairly good relationship with the Coast Guard.

The legal eagle on the team is Tom "Tort" Tuttle, whose power is to make people and things around him incredibly sssllllooooooowww...  He is a gifted ADA (assistant district attorney), who dons a turtle-based disguise to bring evildoers to justice.  In addition to his no-range slowness field (with personal immunity, naturally), he can project a speed-draining fields onto specific targets at range.

I believe that's six (or 9, depending on how you want to count the Kappas), so I'll spring for a new team.  Hmmm... it is that season, so why don't we do a spring-based team? 

 

Spring Renewal is a team seen as the hippies of the superhero community.   Based out of Olympia, Washington, they are all non-violent individuals who nonetheless use their powers to protect innocents, the environment, and freedom of all sorts.  Who are these five hippie heroes?

Jennifer Bryzinski is known as Gentle Breeze.  She uses her wind powers to fly, restrain foes, extinguish flames, catch falling innocents, and other such non-injurious means.  She can also calm the weather, turning a thunderstorm into a gentle rainfall.

 

 

Her powers are actually much stronger than she exhibits.  She can, if she chooses, generate wind blasts powerful enough to punch through walls or toss people around like tenpins.  She can also increase the intensity of storms, or generate one out of a clear day.  However, it would take quite a lot to rile her to the point where she would do any of that.  Normally, she keeps a tight rein on her powers.

Flower Power

 

Flora can grow flowers. Big flowers. She can thus create mazes which trap opponents or generate clouds of pollen which can take down almost anything. The flowers can also trip opponents up with their roots. Her negotiation technique is easy. Go away in peace and the flowers go. She can even generate anti-flame resistant pollen which dampens down flame throwers. And you know what giant flowers mean ? Giant insects like wasps and bees. Or swarms of them. Bee afraid.

 

New Team: They say that heroes are squares and that's really true for the heroes of The Quadrilateral. These are four heroes who are often mocked for their stout defence of the law and morals but otherwise they are perfectly normal.

They should not be all men or women but they can have any powers or skills. They are not comical but can be mocked as such.

Fair & Square

 

It's always a fair fight between Farris Courtney and anyone else his strange mutant power evens out his and their natural abilities.

 

So anyone he fights one on one is half as strong as usual while Farris gets the other half.

 

Farris has put a lot of time into training with other superheroes to master their abilities.

 

He has a deep rooted desire for fairness and is always a champion of the underdog the two easy ways to get on his bad side are attacking those weaker than you and unsportsmanlike behavior he will always try to punish those he considers underhanded.

Right Angle is a teleporting Aikido master.  In addition to teleporting himself (which he can do over quite long distance) he can also teleport foes but only for short ranges (usually changing their facing to set them up for his teammates' attacks).  In his secret ID, Angelo Rialto is an assistant DA with a reputation for having a very black-and-white view on crime.

Terri Ogden is known as Trapezoid for her ability to generate telekinetic bands of force that trap opponents, usually binding their hands and feet to nearby objects, though she can also do normal telekinetic feats like moving objects and deflecting attacks.  With her severely pulled-back hair and gray tweed pantsuit, she looks (and acts) like the stereotypical middle-aged librarian - not all that surprising, since she is one in her secret ID. 

 

(Terri has had her powers since she was a teen, but only really started using them when she discovered VIPER was running a Nest out of her library.  The nerve!  She donned a mask at her partner's urging and joined up with the other Quadrilaterals to put them down -- and discovered she rather liked the excitement of being a heroine.)

The large grotesque creature brandished four bludgeons, one in each hand, and grinned as he brought two of them together on either side of an unfortunate VIPER agent's head. "Hi. They call me Four of Clubs. Guess why."

The palindromedary wonders what other kinds of cards we can include...Greeting cards? Credit cards? Post cards?

The specialist in solving crimes within a building is Clue. She specialises in solving murders where the victim was killed or attacked with a gun, blade, bludgeon, a household object, a tool or anything that can be used to strangle or garotte someone. She can embody the best or worst excesses of an Agatha Christie or film of the week detective. She is very jubilant most of the time as she looks for clues annoying the authorities, her team mates and suspects in equal measure. However if anyone mentions the adult entertainment adaptation of the game Clue or any of the people in it she goes off the deep end snarling like an alley cat. The Tim Curry film is nothing to her at all.

Tucker Carlson never realized how different he was from normal humans until he left the protection of the family home. He painfully taught this lesson by a group of bullies beating him within an inch of his life. After he got out of the hospital, Tucker took classes in self defense and hunting. His attackers learned to fear him as the horrible Kobold.

 

He turned his attention on other bullies and bigots, earning a fearsome reputation for trapping an enemy in a humiliating situation for the police.

Steve Jack is the hero known as Munchkin.

 

Are you sure it wasn't Steve Jack's son?  :winkgrin:

He is the man who can solve many verbal; clues. He is the man who knows a dictionary by heart. He also knows foreign dictionaries, He can challenge people to a game of word play and interrogate you while he does it. He is Scrabble and he knows what words score, what they mean and how to correctly use them.
