Hero and Villain Idea

[Armitage]

Sentinel, a third-generation legacy hero. He's the grandson of one of the world's first costumed super-heroes.

 

Renegade, a third-generation legacy villain. She's the granddaughter of one of the world's first costumed super-villains.

 

Their grandfathers were arch-enemies.

Their fathers were arch-enemies.

They...fell in love.

 

She never really wanted to be a villain. She was perfectly happy doing graduate work at the university, but her father and grandfather insisted she enter the "family business".

So it was fortunate when Sentinel arrived to deal with her first criminal endeavor and quickly realized her heart wasn't in it. They stopped fighting and started talking, and things continued from there.

Now, whenever her family plans a crime for her, she makes a phone call and Sentinel is waiting to stop her. As a result, she's only wanted for a string of Disturbing the Peace charges, having never gotten a chance to commit an actual crime.

Her family is becoming convinced that she's the unluckiest villain in history, or that the latest Sentinel has added psychic powers to his repertoire.

Neither one has found the right way to tell their family, and they are both all too familiar with the Montagues and Capulets. Something has to give, and soon.

And of course they could have a child. Centigrade master of temperature control!

 

I actually really like this idea (your original idea above not my feeble attempt at humor), it would be great in a group of die hard RPers.

It has some interesting roleplaying possibilities. Maybe she'll even "go rogue" and officially join the good guys.

 

The story reminded me of this comic panel, though:
