Heroes from All Fifty States

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

The deal with Rushmore was that he was "as adjective as 4 men".

Plus I wanted him to be reasonably immune to mental things, since he has the will power of 4 of the legendary statesmen...

 

Speed is pretty much the only offensive power he's got, so

Rushmore is the classic golden age speedster, plus its a pun on Rush.

 

Specifically, The Land told Rushmore "You will have the strength of will of George Washington, the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson, the vigor of Theodore Roosevelt, and the courage of Abraham Lincoln. You will be as strong and swift as four men."

 

I think that came across very well. Great job, Egyptoid! Rep to thee!

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

MISTER MICHIGAN becomes available for review

 

Teh Mich. Wolvirene will be the spelling I use. There are so many copywrited concepts relating to the wolverine animal its not even funny.

 

=========

 

MISS IOWA is also up for review IOWA HAWKEYE

 

but I've got no background for her....

anyone want to take a stab at her ?

• are her wings natural, a mutation, a device?
  
• how did she become a hero?
  
• why is she so good at crime solving?
  
• how does she affect the hero team ? romantically ? politically?
  
• is she young, mature, or a force of nature ?

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

Michigan Wolverine: Good, if kind of vanilla, character. Need a new name. It would be like calling your hero The New York Batman or something. Wolverine is one of the few transcendent characters in comics. Everyone knows Wolverine. So even though it's obvious to the point of being a near necessity, it needs to be something else.

 

Something like the Maize and Blue... I dunno. Or Big House.

Looks like something a University of Michigan fan would have.

 

Perhaps something in green and white called Michigan State Spartan insted...

Its kind of funny as Wolverines are not - and probably never were - indigenous to Michigan.

I would have mentioned the Spartan theme- I mean, can you imagine a better hand-to-hand combatant than a super-Spartan? But there was a Spartan from Michigan in the original version of the 50 Superheroes.

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

If you mean the pictures: they are HERE

 

If you mean the character sheets, they are not all done yet.

 

my main man Hermit just cranked out Mississippi...

 

so that leaves:

The Kansas Speedster Twins

Ohio and Pennsylvania,

OK Speedster,

and Georgia Mentalist.

Louisiana Martial Artist.

 

 

yep, that's definitely light at the end of ye tunnel...

Re: Heroes from All Fifty States

 

Hermit's MISSISSIPPI here

 

You have to ascend the mountain to talk to the Hermit,

but its worth the climb.

 

plus:

 

Egyptoid and the Craiginator did up Hermit's SILVER LINE of NEVADA here

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would have mentioned the Spartan theme- I mean' date=' can you imagine a better hand-to-hand combatant than a super-Spartan? But there was a Spartan from Michigan in the original version of the 50 Superheroes.[/quote']

Natural-born mutant sounds good to me. Being twinned is enough of an interesting origin.

 

This/these are well developed, both in terms of powers and in terms of characters. I like their many professional rivalries. My only negative criticism is that SPD 8 is probably unnessesary and would bog down a ftf or online game.
