Big Man - Paul Bunyan

Hammer - John Henry

Twister - Pecos Bill

Seed - Johnny Appleseed

Widow - Annie Oakley (though she was real, so not sure)

 

So were John Henry and Jonny Appleseed.

 

Lucius Alexander

 

The palindromedary notes that contrary to some people's beliefs Lucius Alexander is a real person too

Re: Guess the inspiration behind this superteam!

 

Here is another team my players faced awhile back. They are actually Golden Age heroes the characters threw down with during a time travel story arc. I think this will be easy so I will leave the descriptions very brief.

 

(Deadly) Nightshade - wood and plant manipulation and control

Wildfire - fire generation

Landslide - travel through earth and stone

Mettle - transformation into steel

Torrent - water absorbtion (and release)

Looks like they're based on the five Chinese elements.

Well, yes and no. There were real people that inspired the tall tales, but those superhuman legends were well beyond the real people. Annie Oakley, on the other hand, was a genuine sharpshooter that created shooting feats modern marksmen still use as a benchmark.

 

The palindromedary is too super to be believed.

He-Man's supporting cast comes to mind but don't ask me to name them.

Well, Shield and Scarlet Swift sound like Captain America and Quicksilver, so I tried various combinations of the Avengers; but none worked out.

Wanna give a hint?

My guess is the Great Grappler is the key : because there are not so many four armed characters in comics...

Beside that, I don't know comics enough to give it a try .

 

A carrot as a gift to te palindromedary would help ? :P

Only group I can think of with 4 arms is a guy named fourarm from the MLf' date=' but don't think that is it[/quote']

I'm pretty sure we need to think outside comics.

 

I also think The Great Grappler is the key, unfortunately I keep getting stuck on Dr. Jumba Jookiba's four armed experiments.
