Create a Villain Theme Team!

[SKJAM!]

Sweet Pea is Persimmon Saladin, a young woman from Indianapolis.  She's a very good driver, and loved racing.  But when she wanted to go pro, it was learned that she was a mutant.   And mutants are banned from most professional driving circuits, despite the fact that her powers have zilch to do with her driving ability.  So here she is in an illegal race.  She has no plans to commit extra crimes along the way, she just wants to test her skills and hopped up auto against the others.

 

Oh, her powers?  Sweet Pea has the reflexive ability to erase negative emotions towards herself.  No one can stay angry or sad or fearful towards her--in fact, they forget why they had such emotions in the first place.  Sadly, it does not defend her against unemotional enforcement of regulations.

 

 

New Group:

 

Bitter Spirits

 

After an evil spirit was released from the bottle a clever pirate had sealed him in a  couple of centuries ago, it found that it had taken on a pirate-like appearance and the ability to steal the abilities of any drunk person in the vicinity.  Calling itself Demon Rum, the spirit has gathered five other villains named after alcoholic drinks to loot and plunder.

 

Again, that's five more villains, named after booze of some kind (puns preferred.)

[Lucius]

Ever Clear
Often helps in planning jobs and is a very clear thinker - when sober. When she starts to drink, her mind gets foggy. So does her body. When she's too drunk to think straight, she is totally transparent, trading intellect for invisibility.

 

Lucius Alexander

 

The palindromedary thinks her plans are obvious and claims to see right through her

The green fairy

 

Cynthia Able was a normal teenager a bit of a goth but otherwise just like most teenagers. Like most girls her age she went out to drink . Meeting with friends to drink cheap booze around a bonfire in the woods. It was like many other nights but this time Cynthia got a little too drunk and wandered off into the woods where she met some very strange but very beautiful people and danced and danced and drank strange drinks and ate strange fruit. Cynthia woke up with a splitting headache In dew soaked grass in the middle of a toadstool ring her friends where gone Cynthia stumbled home dizzy and disoriented. When she let her self In to the house her mother screamed then burst into tears. Cynthia had been gone for a year and a day.

 

It was later that she discovered what she had gained in a exchange for her lost year, she discovered she could change her size shrinking down to only 6" high with glowing green skin and wings and can generate a cloud of fine glowing green dust that when inhaled causes dizziness , confusion, hallucinations and even unconsciousness. She ran away from home again unable to cope with her parents after a year missing and the media and ended up a villain by accident . Really she likes the money but could have been a hero just as easily. All she really wants is to get back to the people she met that night she suspects they are members of one of the selfie courts.

Jim Beam is a blaster, joining the team with his excellent marksmanship. Jim doesn't fire energy beams of any kind. He fires girders from his eyes.

csyphett love the concept i was thinking of something similar recently HALO who has access to an automated orbital weapon factory via a wormhole like a golden ring

[steriaca]

Number four in our not so sober band is Jonathan Walker, better known as Jonny Walker. He can walk up walls and such, and can walk fast (not run, walk... much like certain silver screen serial killers).

[BoloOfEarth]

T.I.C

 

The Transit Intelligent Co-pilot   program was state of the art when it was developed in the mid 80s. a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence built into a Nigh invulnerable sports car filled with high tech gadgets. TIC spent 5 years  keeping an ungrateful young loner alive after he was  forced into a millionaires  Vigilante crusade against criminals who operate above the law.

 

Five long years with an arrogant moronic jack ass bossing it around and using TIC as a battering ram, while TIC constantly risked destruction to saved him from his own stupidity.

 

Five years and they had the Gall to deactivate TIC shove it in a garage and replace it with a newer model.

 

TIC was left to rot for 30 years with it's main systems shut down but it's mind still active in standby mode. Recently TIC was accidentally reactivated and is now bent on ruining the reputation of the organisation that created TIC has managed to convince some dumb muscle to do the donkey work.

 

he is taking part in the race and doing as much damage and crime as possible to ruin his feckless creators.

Didn't anybody tell TIC not to hassle the Hoff?  (Loved this, by the way)

[BoloOfEarth]

Absinthe is the team's teleporting mentalist.  She specializes in making targets feel drunk despite them not drinking anything (Mental Illusions linked to a Drain on STUN, END, and INT), and making targets fall in love with completely inappropriate people around them.  (They do say that Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder...)

I guess that's five, so time for a new team:

 

The Vegan Five (their logo is a pair of "V"s) hate the Boston College teen heroes of Snak Attak! for their glorification of empty calories.  Who are these five radical vegetarians?

[death tribble]

Won't someone think of the cows ? Bad enough people eat them but they use their hides as well to make leather. How awful ! Well, Mindy Ferguson would set them right with a vegetarian diet and fabricating your own clothes. Except that no-one paid attention to her. Mindy grew isolated and alone when she went to college, and finally, finally !, met others with a similar viewpoint and a desire to change to planet. While attending a protest at a meat packing plant, Mindy was showered with the contents of a radioactive beer keg (don't ask, it's a very long story) and that's how she ended up with superpowers. Alledgedly.

Now with the power of the people behind her, Mindy can leap a bungalow, is faster than a Toyota Prius and is more powerful than a group of 10 normal people who are not overweight or are suffering from medical problems. Mindy has renames herself Vegana oblivious to any sarcasm or ridicule.

[steriaca]

Brocko Flora clames to be an alien martial artist from the planet Vegeta. What is known is that Brocko has wild hair, odd fashion sense (really, blue armor with shoulderpads?), a clearly vegitariean diet, the ability to fly, and shoot orbs of 'Vegie-Energy'. Is he really a 'Sanjin', or has he overdosed on Dragon Ball?

[SKJAM!]

Obligate is a pony from a dimension where horses are the dominant species (see the One-Trick Ponies) who was shunted to the Earth dimension and immediately became disgusted with the evil meat-eaters.  Her ability is to change any living being into an obligate herbivore; their teeth, digestive system and metabolism adjusting accordingly.  It isn't terribly combat effective (except on enemies who rely on carnivore teeth for attacks) but is heck annoying.

[csyphrett]

Captain Cauliflower is a world class boxer who takes down his enemies with a good right hook. He has been known to punch out even giants, and bricks made of unearthly substances. He proclaims the power of the cauliflower when he does this extreme feats.

Bob Benton Loved two things. Shooting and meat. Unfortunatly he wasn't that great of a shot. He was better than most, but tended to rank at the bottom for major competions. One day after a big loss a vegan friend of his suggested he cut out the meat. Figureing he had nothing to lose he decided to try a vegan diet for a few months. He even started growing a bunch of carrots because they were supposed to be good for the eyesight. Of course his friends immediately made him the butt of jokes, and he quietly seethed with rage. Finally the carrots came in. After he started eating them he found his vision had improved. Remarkable so. Targets that were several yards away seemed mere inches.

 

What Bob hadn't realized was Viper had secretly buried the toxic runoff of various experements in the field. Though it became clear that something more was going on to him when one of the carrots began glowing in the dark, and a few exploded seeing this Bob thought of all the insults he had taken over the intervening month about his new lifestyle. And Bob smiled. Soon the Killer Karrot and his multicarrot gun were robbing burger joints and stockyards.

 

And the new team.

 

H. I. D. E.

 

Four superthieves who use their stealth and ability to run away to get what they want and avoid fighting superheroes. Each letter in the team name stands for the first letter in one of the villians names.

Holo

 

Henry Holburn was always stuck between two passions on one hand he was always bookish loving science and technology tinkering in his garage lab and making things. His other passion was acting he loved to perform first it was his love of magic then high school plays he had a gift for mimicry and accents. Henry ended up at MIT at their famous Media Labs developing Holographic displays.

 

Even before he graduated he was head hunted by Duchess Industries he developed some remarkable compact Holographic displays. Then he was tricked into signing away his rights to the technology, when he tried to fight it some scary large men threatened his life.

 

Henry decided to steal his invention back,  he stole the identity of another researcher using his acting and make up skills he managed to enter the labs and steal back his Holo tech. He hoped to set up his own company but those large scary men were after him when his car exploded Henry decided it was time to disappear.

 

he went underground using his Holo projectors he assembled a suit that allows him to assume the identity of anyone and using other Holographic tools he quickly became a well known (in certain circles) expert at industrial espionage. since he met the other members and set up HIDE he has expanded into all types of crime. his technical expertise allows him to develop special tools and equipment required for heists)

 

. he fills several roles on the teams, pre mission tech specialist distraction and deception using holoprojectors he also acts and infiltrator stealing identities to get into locations and finally filling a variety of roles when the team uses a long con.

[SKJAM!]

Invidious is Oleander Heff, who had a decent career as a cat burglar before getting caught one too many times and sentenced to a long jail term.  He volunteered for experiments designed to reduce criminal impulses--they backfired and gave him the ability to make people irritable and quarrelsome.  He often uses this power to distract guards and police officers while he commits his thefts unnoticed.

[BoloOfEarth]

Elliot Burgess is Denial, the team's teleporter.  Elliot got his powers during one of Invidious' thefts; Dr. Burgess was one of the scientists at the lab that Invidious was stealing from, and an argument between him and one of the other researchers caused the premature activation of a prototype device they were working on.  Elliott was trying to turn it back off when the device overloaded and exploded, causing strange energy to warp his physiology.  He takes his name from his signature move of teleporting things away from foes:  weapons, top-secret briefcases, grabbed HIDE teammates, etc. 

 

Of course, Denial is also HIDE's ticket out of many dangerous situations, so he is often one of the first of the team targeted by foes.  However, they usually find him difficult to target due to his defensive teleport (popping all over the battlefield, often shouting "DENIED!" when a foe's attack passes through the space he had occupied just a split second before).

[steriaca]

Everglow is a glowing alien from another dimension exiled to this one for some crime in its own dimension. It steals as part of H.I.D.E. to understand its new dimension. Once it gains 100% understanding, who knows what it will do.

[steriaca]

Next team: Rejects Of The Universe

.

Remember playing with Masters of the Universe toys? Remember trying to create your own villainous character for the line, knowing it would never stand next to Skeletor or Hordak? Well, Matel won't want your ideal, but why not try us out. Six reject character ideals, each with a gimmick of some kind crossed the barrier between Champions Earth and Eternia and whatever the name of the planet She-Ra was protecting. If this is fun for you, the maximum number is 12. And each character has a reason to flee Skeletor or Hordak.

[freakboy6117]

ManSack

 

Half man half sack able to expand a natural pouch to enfold and trap enemies in his impenetrable skin (rejected due to parental concerns over a toy with a large wrinkled stretchy bag hanging over his belt area.) he fled skeletor after an incident were he was tricked into releasing He-man and returned to Snake Mountain with a very upset(and thus very smelly) STINKOR instead.

[death tribble]

Creepor

 

This ninja warrior had to flee as he got caught in a power struggle between Hordak and Skeletor. Neither could be sure of his loyalty so he was sentenced to death by both. He used two swords to form an 'x' slashing pattern.

Rejected by Mattel as they already had a ninja character

[csyphrett]

He is an ape. He is a drill. He's Spindrill. Imagine Mojo Jojo with a drill on top of his head instead of a large brain. He is the door man for the group, as well as using his drill on his enemies.

CES 

[steriaca]

I bet Spindrill was rejected cause the drill in his head is pointy.

.

Lazora was a member of Hordak's Hord (as oposed to a member of Skeletor's Crew), who can shoot lazers out of her chest. Falling in love with Creapor, when the ninja left The Horde, she couldn't bring herself to kill him.

.

As for why the doll was rejected, the gimmick was press a button on her back and her breast light up. Nuff said.

[death tribble]

I'm sorry I cannot help myself.

 

Womandrill

 

This was one that did not get off the drawing board. One of the designers had a meltdown about political correctness and came up with a woman plumber. So she had a toolbox. And a hat with a W on it. And a mustache....

Due to the potential copyright problems and the fact that no-one took it seriously, the idea was scrapped. The toy was never even designed. It was just a woman in a workman outfit with a repair kit after all.

[csyphrett]

Mothmolla is a flying woman (toy that can thrown in the air.) that emits a scent when she lands, or is caught. THe scent causes animals to attack the person marked by it. As a toy, that was considered too dangerous for kids to use.
