Enforcer84 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Rejected Superhero Names Pogo-Stick. A character with an insane amount of leaping and has Clinging. Wait, I actually played this character once in V&V. 20 years later, I still wonder what the hell I was thinking. "Why does Batroc get all the girls?"

His father was 1/16th Mongolian (according to Wikipedia anyway.) So I've adjusted my signature. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Frisbee Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Re: Rejected Superhero Names I had a campaign with some goof-ball heroes. Among them: Piledriver -- a brick with incredible move-thru powers. No problems with the name until he missed one move-thru in the railyards and cracked open a tanker car full of liquified manure... Phallon -- I don't think I need to go into details about the round of giggles that started when our resident "player who takes the game way too seriously" proudly stated his character's name for the group. I made some crack about him taking matters "in hand" and he stormed out of the room, our hysterical laughter nipping at his heels... Rebound -- everyone's favorite shapechanger with the ability to bounce ran afoul of my sledgehammer wit after coming off second best to a fire-based villain. Quote -- "You should change his name to Vulcanized rubber now." From another player -- "Does that mean he can do it only every seven years?"

Among them: Rebound Thats really funny, I have a character in a game who is also called Rebound, but with completely different powers. The character has the power to reflect, absorb, and discharge energy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimble Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Re: Rejected Superhero Names The Defenestrator! He throws people thru windows! I wrote up The Defenestrator as a villain in a long ago game. He had extra STR just for pushing. He could also open gates behind people that led to some of the highest windows in the city.
