The Alphabet Squad

[death tribble]

That would be pushing it. But they can fake it.

We can't have Quake so we will have Quack !

Yes, the man or woman who can change into a human sized Duck.

This can cause confusion to an opponent. But they can also deliver an awesome peck attack and they can fly so they are good for reconnaissance

Just as long as his real name isn't Howard. Or Mouse.

[Hugh Neilson]

Quill is an option, I suppose.  A Damage Shield and RKA build.

 

Although I note the theory that not all the squad would be super-powered has not materialized.

[Werehawk]

May I suggest Quatrefoil. A young British girl who controls the Ancient Elements earth, wind, fire, and water.

 

R for Renard. A French amphibian with shark-like abilities.

[Quackhell]

This is going so quickly. If only we had other similar threads so we could all have more fun coming up with theme heroes and villains. 🤔😆

S stands for--Saturn

 

The teenage son of the arch-villain Kronos--a scientific genius with a suit of superpowered armor.  In his alternate reality, Kronos was the greatest enemy of freedom and justice, determined to impose his will upon the entire world by any means necessary.  When the heroes of that world finally caught up with him, he had an escape plan ready--a gateway to an alternate dimension, our dimension.  What Kronos didn't count on was his son taking the path through the gateway for himself--and rigging it to self-destruct so that his father or anyone else could not follow.

 

With a scientific intellect rivalling his father's, Saturn is determined to make his own way in this new world and help its people, not impose his will upon them with brute force.  With his weapons and combat training he can hold his own in a fight with agents or low-level supers, but prefers not to fight at all, using his intellect to solve any problem and defeat any criminal.  Life is going well for him so far--but there is always the possibility that his father will come looking for him.  It's not something he cares to think about.

[Sundog]

T is for Turbulance. A weather controller, and one of the heavy hitters of the squad. An Argentine native, the child of Antarctic researchers. Rarely seen without full snow gear.

[Mr. R]

Angel (blaster)

Belle (Investigator/ Gadgeteer)

Luna (Geokinetic?)

 

I would be willing to go with Moonstruck IF someone can give a replacement for "L"

Nobody (Invisible Scout)

Optic (Enhanced Vision)

Psion (Mentalist)

Quatrefoil (Elemental Controller)

 

We need an "R" sorry Renard is French for fox, not shark

Saturn (Gadgeteer / Investigator / Scientist)   HMMM How is he with Belle?

Turbulence (Weather Control)

 

OK!  Nice!  But we need a few more Power Armour and at least one more Brick.

 

PS I plan on stating all these up when we have a complete list!

 

Remember all these people will have Until basic training and some gear (  So Optic will have a Blaster and minimum Until armour)

 

[archer]

L is for Locust.

 

Locust is a six-armed insectoid martial artist. 

 

Humanoid martial artists find it unnerving to fight him. And he knows it. (Bought as additional PRE only against those who have Martial Arts maneuvers).

[Sundog]

U is for Upscale. Just your basic guy who gets big and hits things. Occasionally also useful for the paperwork, as he used to be an office worker.

Upscale (Growth Brick)

 

 

Now we get to some of the ...... more difficult ones to fill!

[dmjalund]

did you consider Renard?

[wcw43921]

V stands for--Valoress

 

Standing six feet two inches, possessing the strength of hundreds and resilience and fighting ability to match, she thinks nothing of charging into battle against any foe, no matter how great the odds against her or powerful the enemy.  She is perhaps the most "militant" of the team, insisting on rigorous and regular combat training, and strict codes of conduct for its members.

[Werehawk]

R stands for Requin.  

 

Same  description, correct French moniker.

[Mr. R]

Requin fits MUCH better!

[Werehawk]

W is for Whalesong. A Norwegian oil magnate who was a victim of a oil platform accident who was "adopted" by whales and learned to live like them as well as being able to control them.  Think of him as an aquatic Tarzan.

 

 

X is for X-Factor.  A Scot able to wield both chaos and order magic depending on what needs to be used in order to maintain balance at that moment. He takes the "One Who Knows" stance way too seriously.

 

I have Y and Z but I want to see others ideas.

W   has some interesting ideas and he is another aquatic team mate

 

X    What is meant by Order magic and Chaos magic?  I find terms like that SOOOOO nebulous that they aren't really descriptors at all!   

I love the idea, and a mage type is needed for the team.

[wcw43921]

Y stands for--Yankee Lightning

 

The descendant of the World War II era superpatriot U.S. Jones, Amanda Addams (USMC) volunteered to represent the United States in the Alphabet Squad.  No superpowers, but an exceptionally able hand-to-hand combatant and weapons expert, able to use any weapon better than the soldier or agent from whom it was taken.  Many of the other members are suspicious of her pro-USA mindset, but she is determined to prove that American patriotism is not synonymous with bigotry or aggression.

So basically the "Shining Hill" America and not the "Ugly American" America.  And the team can use another 'Normal' that has no powers to mess with.

 

I will expect she gets on real well with Valoress!

[BoloOfEarth]

Z is for Zero.  He has zero powers.  None.  Nada.  Zilch.  Zipareeno.  However, he is extremely well-trained, well-equipped, very skilled, and in excellent shape.

OK.  Another super normal.  Well the team needed a couple!

 

So done.  Now to stat them!

[Mr. R]

Final squad make up

Whalesong (Aquatic expert/ Brick)

X-Factor (Mage) Would love to see the discussions with Psion

Yankee Lightning (Super Agent)

Zero (Super Agent)

 

Anyone thinks we should do any substitutions?  Speak up now!

[Mr. R]

Code name:  Angel

 

Country of origin: ?

 

Background:  Basic agent training, Tech squad, Flying squad,  found schematics if a flying suit and so started developing it on his own time.  Likes working with the flying agents.

 

 

Code name: Belle

 

Country of origin: I am thinking France or would that be TOO obvious?

 

Background:  Highly intelligent (Int 25) with a lot of KS, AK, CK.  Also trained detective.  Basic Training and Investigator Pkg along with C&S computer.  

 

Any other suggestions for both before I put it into Hero Designer?

[Sundog]

With Belle, while the French language aspect is great, why not use somewhere else it's spoken? She could be Angolan, Haitian or New Caledonian. Or Vietnamese.

(Come to that, I like Vietnamese. Good reason for her to have other languages and not perhaps what would be expected by someone being pursued by a P.I.)
