freakboy6117 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 just as long as the sky cycle is called tornado or something. i dont think the katana works you lose some of the swashbuckling vibe that way maybe she should be a mistress of all swords from Athame to Zaiotchi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Major Tom Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Originally posted by Mark Rand Major Tom, I like the idea of her using a katana. It was a certain beauty all its own. Since the campaign she's going to be in involves an Avengers branch office team, she'll probably use a skycycle, the kind of vehicle Hawkeye used in the comics. Oooo... I completely forgot about the possibilities of superhero technology with regards to her transportation. If she's going to be cruising around town from the air, then make real sure that her skycycle has one hell of a lot of ECM, IR and RADAR- suppression gear installed on it. Remember, it only takes one Stinger (or Sidearm) to completely ruin your day... Major Tom The Poster formerly known as Space Cadet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Cross Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 True enough.I wonder what sort of ECM gear Douglas Q. Sangnoir has on his jet cycle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Actually, she uses the sky cycle for short trips. For longer trips, she and her fellow Avengers use quinjets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengal Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Why would you want to put a drunk Scottish villain on the Avengers? And how big are her gazoombas? My wife is interested in knowing how much "justice" she's lugging around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd stick with something different. Every super with a sword's got a katana. Every Ninja's got a katana. Everyone everywhere's got a katana. I like the rapier wielding swashbuckler image, even if it is only slightly less cliche than katana wielding martial artist. Especially with the trick rapier/light sabre kind of thing.

Mark Rand Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Time to dig out my catalogs from companies that sell swords and other ancient weapons for decoration, stage and people who are in groups like the SCA and do some research. A cut and thrust broadsword might be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Paired English dueling blades are nice. Not quite in character, but they are purty. If it weren't for the whole name thing, I'd say go with a whip. You could have all of the nifty-wifty {tech} in the handle, allowing her to stun with her Tazer!Whip, or knock an opponent out with her Sleep!Gas!Release!Whip, or throttle with her, um, Whip!Whip. Then again, I like non-standard weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Since, as I recall, the original Queen of Swords did use a whip, the modern Queen of Swords could easily use a high-tech one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengal Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Then you could call her Lady Rawhide and make her a BDSM.... she wouldn't even need to fight crime! It could just be about beating old business men for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 But, but... she could beat on eeeevil old businessmen. Like the guys from Enron and Halliburton:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
