[Logan D. Hurricanes]

For my villainous mooks, the ultra-violent Droogs! 

 

[Bazza]

The Archenemy: Brunnhilde the Valkyrie.

[Psybolt]

Option #1:  The Conductor (Polar express)

 

[csyphrett]

I'm picking the super apes as my mooks/minions

CES

[Old Man]

The Lieutenant: Darth Sidious (Star Wars)

The mooks for the Red Skull will be Cybermen

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberman

 

Specifically these will be the Cybermen from the Classic stories starting with Invasion in the Second Doctor's time. They are the ones pictured in front of St Paul's Cathedral in the Wikipedia link. In the selection of heads you see in the link, the fourth and fifth heads are the correct ones (going from left to right).

 

I have included pictures relating to the story at the attached google link

We're on a rotor ship, sailing among islands, one of which is our source of nitrates.  Since we're committed to a nautical lifestyle ... and there are much worse in a post-apocalyptic world ... we need a nautical leader.  So, arguably the greatest naval captain in fictional literature, we again reach back a ways and pick the man who became Admiral of the Fleet (but we pick him as a captain), Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, Baron of Smallbridge, and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, Horatio Hornblower.

[Hermit]

Ironically enough, I wasn't sniped, but I found it funny how close some other picks came to it.

 

Unique Mode of Travel: The Wanderer (The Train from the Wild Wild West TV show)

 

 

 

[death tribble]

Would a furnace count as one option with the material for it as another choice ?

[Logan D. Hurricanes]

Option: The super drug in trade, how Ma-Man holds such power in the wasted world, Red Eye! (Cowboy Bebop)

 

Spoiled for disturbing imagery. 

Spoiler

 

 

Red Eye is an illegal performance-enhancing drug applied directly to one's eyes in order to gain enhanced sensory perception and reflexes for a short duration.

 

Red Eye is stored in glass vials and administered using a specially designed device. The vial snapped into the device, which applied the liquid substance by spraying it directly into the user's eyes. They immediately flared up with redness and irritation, giving the drug its name. Red Eye is similar to a very powerful steroid and stimulant combined into one. It made the user extremely hyper and aware, perceiving time faster which caused everything around the user to appear to move in slow motion. The user gained significant physical strength as well. Continued usage of Red Eye could lead to addiction and injuries to bodily organs.

Option #2:  The firemen (Fahrenheit 451)

 

[Cancer]

Last entry, I think, for Love and Rockets and Rotors.

 

Option #3: a second Diplomat.  This one is a specialist, but a highly valuable one, and perhaps the reason Dr Moreau hates us.  We draft Dr. Dolittle, the human who talks to animals, as a second Diplomat.  You can never have too many allies.

[Old Man]

Option: The Arch Enemy's Soldier: Snake Plissken (Escape From New York)

 

 

(He hates his job.)

 

 

Option: The Arch Enemy's Diplomat: Kilgrave (Jessica Jones)

 

 

 

 

Title: Scavenging Souls in the Cinders of Civilization

[csyphrett]

I need two options to finish out my draft.

 

I think I am going to option the Rainmaker from PS238 for his ability to create rain and boost/lower other powers, and the Powerpuff Girl factory.

 

I think I am going to title this Flight across the Americas

I think you could do that as a single Option.

Many Thanks

 

Option 2: Furnace to make steel

[Logan D. Hurricanes]

Option the third: A Friend in the Black-Market former prison smuggler Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding! 

 

He's a provider of goods... playing both sides. 

 

"I understand you're a man who knows how to get things."
"Red: I'm known to locate certain things from time to time."

Title Can Scotty Escape from Wundagore Mountain?

[Hermit]

Option #2: Another resource, knowledge of which railways remain intact enough to ride and rail making tech!

 

*****

 

As the Wanderer started up, closing on their goal, a man on the top of the train smoked a cigarette and looked as if staring at an invisible audiance, his features somehow shadowy with more than the smoke, but his voice clear.

 

"Suspended in time and space for a moment, your introduction to a world full of those who entertained on silver and technicolor tapestries, who lived only in our in the imaginations of their creators and those who beheld the created ,  now in a universe whose dimensions are the size of a lost republic, and  weight of hope in the ruins of despair.  Decent beings, with no script to protect them, finally in a place where the stakes are high and the odds do not favor them. Farcical heroism at it's best, and yet, the only heroism left.  In a moment, we'll move forward in the story that no one can predict, and also in a moment, we'll see if the damsels will  have freed themselves from distress, or at indeed of need of even less than ideal rescuers to keep them from shackles are more insidious than steel. A railroad adventure with questionable brakes and no assurance you'll end up where you want awaits both would be rescuers, and those who may or may not need rescuing. I'll be watching the story, finally free of the Twilight Zone. Unless, of course" the man took another drag, "We never escaped it all"

"
