Enforcer84 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Here is a potentially fun game; a team of superbeings (Hero 0r Villains) whose names are all derrived from song titles from the same band. Minimum 4 per team. For Example: Renegade - AWOL Supersoldier Superstar - Space Faring Energy Projector Witch Wolf - Lycanthropic Supermage Man of Miracles - Stage Magician/Escape Artist Martial Arts Genius Band: Styx Get it? Here's your first test: Starrider - Flying Brick with "Cosmic" engergy Controll Headknocker - Streetfighter with legendary physical gifts (High stats) Cousin to DWB Dirty White Boy: Pheremone Casanova, also a good brawler. Juke Box Hero: Sonic EP who makes with background music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdamnhero Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Re: Name That Band Hero! Springsteen? Right. (Okay, I cheated a little with War, but he did record a scorching cover of it.) Coronach . . . Sonic-based energy projector Cross-Eyed Mary . . . Mentalist specializing in illusions Jack-In-The-Green . . . A nature spirit - plant-based powers Quizz Kid . . . Very young genius Salamander . . . Fire-based energy projector Slipstream . . . Flying speedster Steel Monkey . . . Martial artist with a monkey motif Warchild . . . Near-brick with anacronistic weapons Jethro Tull. Trying to move us out of the 80s, here's a villain group: Extraordinary Girl – superstrong martial artist Letter Bomb – a gadgeteer/weaponeer, who throws various letter-shaped grenades St. Jimmy – Dresses like some kind of hallucinogenic Pope, “divine fire†energy projection Outsider & Scumbag - twin bricks Basketcase – a psychic, who causes people’s own fears and insecurities to atack them Fashion Victim – can cause people’s clothes to attack them, causing entangles, choke holds, etc. Castaway – telekinetic (Get it? She casts things away…) Redundant – Duplication American Idiot – Big. Dumb. Brick. (Actually, I may have to use these guys someday!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
