Maccabe Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I've been reading through this book called STUPERPOWERS and was thinking of creating a game based on the main idea. That being superheroes with ; trivial powers, useless powers, or plain disgusting special effects. Right now I need a team name, hopefully one with a strange acryonym or pun related name. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Re: Help name that superhero group Well, there's the Super Trivial Useless Power Effects Reserve, or STUPER. (Just kidding) How about the B-String? (That's the "second string" on a guitar, and I could see these heroes as second-stringers to the "real heroes.") I loved reading through Stuperpowers, but my players refused to play a game of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Samson Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Re: Help name that superhero group In the vein of awesome groups like the Legion of Substitute Heroes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_of_Substitute_Heroes) and the Great Lakes Avengers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes_Avengers), here are a few (bad ideas). Some may be taken but are not well known or "mainstream".

Pól Ruadh Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Re: Help name that superhero group Heroic Endeavours at Lower Prices. I can imagine a late-night TV ad: "Are you in trouble? Need assistance? Have you go nowhere to go and no-one to call? Then call US! We're not like those OTHER Super-Teams where they don't get out of bed for less than an alien invasion or a stolen atomic bomb! We're here for you - no job too big, or too small! So remember, when you're in trouble, Call for HELP!" Another idea is to use the concept from GURPS: Supertemps, where the characters' powers really aren't up for full-time law-enforcement duties, but some jobs just call for a guy who can shrink down to 6" in height, stretch his arms like taffy, or talk to pigeons. By day, he's a mild-mannered accountant, but when the mission calls for it, the clarion call (or at least a pager signal) goes out for The Fantastic Mister Pigeon!

I have a solo NPC hero in my campaign world, a 19 year old male who somehow ended up with a battlesuit that could fly, increase his strength and speed, and generate force fields. His first name is Max, and he's into extreme sports, so he calls himself Max Xtreme! *He* would have taken that 13 year-old as his sidekick any day.

Each member could insist that it stands for something different. The bloodthirsty ninja guy might think it stands for "Fist of Death Dojo of Extreme Revenge". The celebrity obsessed would-be starlet thinks it stands for "Famous Objects of Desire Demand Extreme Renumeration". The square jawed whitebread type guy thinks it stands for "Force Of Derring-Do and Extreme Righteousness". The cocky rogue might think it stands for "Facing Overwhelming Death and Destruction and Emerging Regardless". There's lots of options. It could be a running gag between the members.
