OddHat Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Re: (worst ever)...reasons to be a supervillain I was looking at all those ripped supers, and thinking about my own weight problem, and I thought "You know, there's got to be something about that lifestyle." Now, if you're a Superhero, the people you're fighting are trying to kill you, but if you're a Supervillain, the good guys just want to lecture you about civic duty and stuff, so I said to myself, "Who would you rather fight?" Then the Bronze Age came and screwed it all up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they changed the test a few years back to take that option out." "We were playing 'Simon says', and Johnny, who was Simon, said 'Simon says be evil', so I killed him.

When his favorite cow and training partner, Be Tse, grew incredibly large and aggressive (for a cow), they thought he was a genius. After Be Tse killed a well known supervillain at the state fair, the consensus of opinion swung back to crazy. Hopalong disappeared, and Be Tse, growing curious about the world outside her pasture, set out to walk the Earth, protect the innocent, and promote vegetarianism. Personality/Motivation: Be Tse is pleasant, mellow, and deadly. She doesn't understand much about humans, but she will not abide cruelty, evil, or the consumption of beef. Be Tse is aware that she is mad by both human and cow standards, but doesn't let this get her down. Be Tse is proud of her martial arts skills, and makes a point of demonstrating to other martial artists the power of Gyu Do. Quote: Mooooooo! Powers/Tactics: Be Tse will generally use her No Cow technique to move behind the foe and find weakness, then hit them by surprise with a 26d6 move through (52d6 out of combat against an unsuspecting target). It's amazing how often that works. Be Tse is the absolute mistress of Gyu Do, with numerous chi powers augmenting her martial skills. Additionally, thanks to the special diet and training techniques of Hopalong Chow, Be Tse is a genius by cow standards, able to read and understand English and think at a level inconceivable to most cows. Despite her actual size, she takes no size limitation, as Be Tse is surprisingly adept at moving quietly and unimpeded through the human world. Campaign Use: Cow Avenger of the Night? Appearance: Be Tse is one very large cow. Copyright Robert Dorf, 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casualplayer Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Re: (worst ever)...reasons to be a supervillain "So me and some other guys on Varsity got a few beers in us and decided to go cow tipping. Dude, the way they flail! So anyway, we scope out this enormous heifer standing all alone in a paddock. Yeah, a paddock, that's what it's called, shut up. Brandon pusses out on us saying "Guys, that cow has powerful chi." All we can do is stare then bust on him for watching too much Jackie Chan. We get a running start, as quiet as we can, and charge the dumb beast like she's the O-line of North High. "Next thing I know I'm bandaged head to toe and the doctors think it'll take surgery to get the hoof print out of my skull. I'm gonna miss Homecoming! So when I heal, I'm gonna quit school and turn to evil, and every person I kill I'm going to pretend they're an ambush wushu cow." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
