I never would have equated the laser eyes with the javelin, but a nice package overall :thumbup:

I never said "eyes." Maybe I should have made it plain the laser beams came from his hands.

 

Lucius Alexander

 

Palindromedary? What palindromedary?

Correct of course.

 

Here's another:

 

Cheshire

 

A mysterious stealthy person who switches between substantiality and insubstantiality. Nobody knows whether it's a living person who turns insubstantial, or a dead person who turns substantial.

 

The Green Man

 

The Green Man controls plants and also has the power of absolutely silent movement.

 

Warp

 

Warp has the power to drain movement speed from others.

 

Razor

 

A super-precise swordsman who makes a point out of shaving people's facial hair, he has the power to create duplicates of himself.

 

Purity

 

It is unwise to attack Purity, the team's healer since her forcefield is apparently impenetrable and she can easily disable any opponent by teleporting them anywhere she wants (never anywhere harmful). She is by far the most powerful of them, but even though she verbally tries to persuade them not to commit crimes, she never stops them or leaves.

 

Persuasion

 

A silver-tongued compulsive liar, Persuasion can confuse and deceive anyone he talks to.

Hmm, you may be on to something there.

Cheshire seems like he could have a quantum uncertainty thing going.

The Green Man could be light, specifically ultraviolet light.

Persuasion - Charm Quark?

 

Not sure how the rest fit into this, though.
