Split Decision Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Re: 50 statessuper- villians It's no dumber than other reasons that supervillains get together, I suppose. I took ten minutes to brainstorm. Redcoat- Massachusetts- some sort of Communist. Often teams up with Ursa Major, the talking Communist bear from Alaska, to subvert some things and vandalize others. Or maybe he wants to "give back" Massachusetts to England? Gladhander- Mississippi- steals from the rich and gives to the government, but keeps a cut for himself. This would be fine for any of the states I guess. The Chicago Machine- Illinois- ditto. Probably a robot or powered armor. Boss Tweed- New York- a Mafia themed crime boss who employs supervillains as well as thugs. Wait, it's been done Bayounus- Lousiana. Amphibious brick. Toxica- altered human supervillainess, result of toxic waste accident. Radiation powers. Space Shifter- Washington state. Teleporter with bionics. Plans to steal the Space Needle about three times a year. Conquest- Florida- Conquistador themed armor. Maverick- Texas- subversive cowboy-themed villain The Waste- DC- the power to disintigrate people and equipment by sucking them into extradimensional portals he creates.

Cold Steel Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Re: 50 statessuper- villians While those in the hero theme were based on state flags, some of my picks are based on state birds. Alabama: Yellowhammer, a brick. Alaska: Snowblind, mutant similar to the Marauders' Harpoon. Arizona: Wren, hyper fast flier. Arkansas: Mockingbird; Sonic based villain. California: Gold Rush, another speedster type. Florida: El Conquistador, as a former member of Ponce De Leon's expedition, he once drank from the fabled fountain of youth and became immortal. Now he leads one of the biggest drug cartels in Miami. Georgia: Thrasher, violent brick with explosive energy blasts. More to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certified Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Re: 50 statessuper- villians Alabama: Vanguard Champion of the NSV (National Socialist Vanguard) he has been called the modern embodiment of the Übermensch. Near impervious to harm Vanguard's body exceeds the abilities of top athletes in every field. Although the source of his powers is unknown the NSV has promoted Vangard as the pinnacle result of selective breeding and the superiority of the white race. Vangard has been called upon to help undo the damage of the current Golden Hammer in Alabama. Helping local movements, defending them from the totalitarian Golden Hammer who has lost her way forgetting the heritage of her people. Selecting his targets carefully Vanguard fosters an image of being a savior of the people; namely whites living in economic areas. His activities often target institutions who staff primarily migrant workers or promote Affirmative Action and Diversification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dronf Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Re: 50 statessuper- villians Back in the mountain "hollars" of north Georgia, it seems time has stood still, or is running an ever-repeating loop. They live as they did 300 years ago. Few leave for the big outside world. Edna Sayum did. They called her a witch, they called her worse, and she fled for her life. Because what only seemed true of the hollars, is true of her. She can loop time, make things happen all over again. The ones she sends back, including her, are aware of what happened the first time through, and can change what they do. The big outside world was strange, but she's adapted. Very well, in fact. Once she learned that anyone can do whatever they can get away with, she was happy as a pig in slop---her power lets her keep trying till she gets it right. Emotionally abused back home, she's taking out her frustrations in Campaign City. And satisfying her hunger for The Good Things In Life . How do you catch a crook who's motto is "Practice makes perfect, and I can practice all I want"? Especially since she can send you back in time if that's to her advantage? Game Mech.: She has XDM, Time, Backwards Only, to limited group of times (1 second ago, 1 Phase ago, 1 Turn ago, 1 Minute ago, 1 Hour ago, only), AOE Radius, Selective, Mentality Only. IOW, she can send her mind back in time a limited number of distances, and/or anyone in her radius of effect. The "Mentality Only" means her body changes to the condition it was "back then" and there's no "two of me at once" effect. The same's true of anyone she sends back.
