Vulcan Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Re: Famous People Super Heros I would think The Rock would be more of a brick as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Re: Famous People Super Heros not even going to bother with the obvious martial artists, but heres a couple Sean Connery: rogue, not always a hero John Lithgow: Gadgeteer and or Mastermind Peter Weller: martial artist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DusterBoy Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Re: Famous People Super Heros I'd say Peter Weller would make a good powered armour hero as well. And if you're referencing Buckaroo Banzai - you should add in science-hero/gadgeteer as well. Summer Glau - definitely a martial artist, with maybe a side of mentalist as well (y'know - River Tam, but not so crazy). Desolid/invisibility powers would work as well. Or for really weird - River Tam crossed with Cameron Philips . (I have to mention Summer Glau - it's contractual, y'know ) Jason Flemyng - a science-hero/gadgeteer type ('cos he played Professor Quatermass in the BBC's live remake of The Quatermass Experiment and I reckon you could drop Prof Quatermass and the British Rocket Group wholesale into a Champions campaign.)

BobGreenwade Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Re: Famous People Super Heros "For Whom The Bell Tolls" was my favorite Joxer episode.Actually the title of that one was "For Him the Bell Tolls." It was this episode, along with "King of Assassins" and "Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire" that showed me that Ted would definitely have the acting chops for playing the Shadow Watcher (though SW's much different from any of these characters).
