SUMMER

 

Summer Knight is an African American woman over 6 feet tall and powerfully built she would have been a successful athlete of not for routine tests that showed she had a meta gene. Summers power is pretty straight forward she's a brick able to super charge her strength and toughness using a solar energy she absorbs through her skin.. Summer loves gold and wears a lot of gold jewellery her hair is kept in long braids threaded with gold beads. While using her powers summers eyes glow with golden light when she ramps up her toughness she is surrounded by a golden aura.

Continuing the all female theme:

 

WINTER LaGrange is a petite French woman with albino skin and hair.   Her meta gene is the opposite of Summer's: the less ambient light in her environment, the stronger and more durable she gets.  With concentration, she is able to physically slow opponents down at the molecular level as their subatomic structure approaches Absolute Zero.  At peak power in pitch blackness, even light and sound stop functioning in her vicinity!  Her catchphrase: "L'Hiver est arrivant!"

If I get to pick the next theme?  Then:

 

New Team: The Microoks

 

A group of five pint-sized reprobates who are able to infiltrate even the most heavily guarded facility. (animate toys, interdimensional imps, intelligent animals and traditional shrinkers are thematic examples).

Meastro

 

The maestro was once a world reknowned concert pianist. That was until the unfortunate day when the slurred drunken wish of a venal idiot (god knows how he found the djinn) shrunk him to a foot in size and enslaved him to the self same idiot.

 

the next three years where a living hell as he was paraded around cheap dive bars as a means to free booze. Finally the sit wrapped his car around a tree.

 

Released at last but still only a foot high he took to crime at first just to survive and then as his skills grew as a freelance criminal.

 

Soon he was pulling bigger and bigger heists in the hopes of obtaining enough money to restore his height. The meastro is now an expert thief using skilled fingers that once wowed audiences now pick locks and crack safes he uses his metronomic precision to execute his crimes.

 

Such is the life of a 12 inch pianist.

Grant Tinkerton was once known as Gigantor, for he could grow to 25 times his normal height.  His size and strength went to his head, and he went on a crime spree that, not surprisingly, ended in his capture.  Unfortunately, the authorities don't have prison cells 150 feet tall, and Grant refused to shrink down to go into a normal cell.  Finally, a gadgeteer hero built a shrinking ray to force him back down to size.  Trying to avoid getting hit, Grant began to reduce his height at the same moment that the shrinking ray hit him.  And shrink he did, all the way down to 3 inches high. 

 

This allowed him to escape, but he's mad as heck about his new height.  Oh, he can still grow -- allowing him to become about 6 feet tall, with the strength of a moderate-level brick.  But his normal height makes him a midget even to Maestro.    Worse yet, a TV news reporter called him Tiny Giant, and despite his efforts to be known by practically any other name, that moniker has stuck.

Macron

 

The nonintuitively named Macron, self-proclaimed leader of the Microoks.   In his native micro-verse however, he held ultimate power as an inter-galactic warlord over trillions of tiny sentients.  His megalomania knew no bounds, and bored with his existence, he constructed a Cosmic Sieve that drained every last iota of energy from his universe and allowed him to break through to our reality, albeit only six inches in height.

 

So, by his standards, he is the largest being ever to exist, with an ego to match.  His physical body is frail and pink, but within his encounter suit Macron can siphon energy from any source, allowing him to create blasts, force shields and grow to prodigous heights; however the power costs are exponentially enormous and he eventually is forced to return to his default size.  His ultimate, unspoken goal is to recreate the Sieve and destroy yet another universe, leaving it a burnt cinder as he ascends to the macro-level and true godhood.

 

One more (perhaps a gal or robot?) and then time for the next theme!

Why not both?

 

Despite being only 12 years old, Anna Gold is a brilliant mechanical and electrical engineer (though rather lacking in ethics and social skills).  She builds incredible little remote-controlled toys that she uses to perform various crimes.  (They often also serve as "vehicles" for the other Microoks.)  Fearful that the others wouldn't accept her, she communicates with them solely through a Transformers robot that refers to itself as Animatron.

I'll plant the next seed and expect people tulip into action and, when all is said and done, know that you rose to the challenge.

 

The Floral Theft Directive (FTD) all are either named after, have powers related to, commit crimes involving, or are otherwise thematically related to flowers.

Patrick Cakes, known as Baker Man, got his start supplying things like super sticky cream pies to villains like Foxbat and Clown, then came muffins that could be used as throwing weapons and finally exploding baked goods. He showed up at the first FTD organizational meeting because he though they were looking for people with flour powers.

The palindromedary says that stuff may be baked but isn't good.

Wallflower

 

Ivy Castillo was a successful botanist in the millennium city botanical gardens when the champions found some unusual seeds at a crime scene.

 

While ivy was analyzing the sample the seeds sprouted developing at an alarming rate the creeper vines entwined around ivy's arms burrowing into her skin she passed out from the pain and when she awoke she was something new her whole body was enveloped in vines tendrels penetrating her skin and fusing with her nervous system she discovered that the seeds where part of an alien planets ecosystem a world where all of the plant life was one huge mind and the tiny fragment that had enveloped her wanted to go home. Ivy is now a criminal stealing both to fund her research (firstly to send the seeds home and secondly to remove them without killing her) and also to acquire materials both for her experiments and to support the plant colony that needs some exotic nutrients.

 

The plants have enhanced her her whole body is entwined with vines that give her enhanced strength and speed .the conection to her nervous system has improved her reflexes. The vines can also extend at will to entangle or swing. The small creeper vines also allow ivy to cling to surfaces effortlessly. Finally the plants grow blue flowers that release sopporific pollen which will knock most normal people out for hours.

 

As wallflower ivy doesn't really have a costume she is covered all over in a thick mesh of vines when trying to be incognito she wears baggy cloathing to hide the vines with long hair and a hoodie to hide the tendrels that enter her brain.

Holy camp are there some bad puns in this thread, Batman!

 

For FTD, I'll go with

 

Nectar

 

Dr. Evan Lytton, a geneticist, developed a technique to hyper-accelerate the evolution of plantlife, in pursuit of medicinal cures that would make him an extremely wealthy man.  What he got was the being known as Nectar.   Beautiful, fragrant, and seemingly human, Nectar's girlish form, vacant smile and unblinking eyes hide a cruel and callous disposition.    

 

Her skin continually emits irresistible aromas that can operate directly on the prefrontal cortex of human beings.  She can calm her enemies, or sow distrust among them.  Lust, fear, joy are all toys, and sentient beings her playthings.  Nectar herself is durable but relatively harmless; she possesses the strength of a normal woman and no obvious means of offense.   As always, however, appearances can be deceiving.   She is psychically linked with nectarivores of all kinds - bees, wasps, moths, butterflies, bats, even hummingbirds.  They serve as her servants and spies, but she can also drive them into a murderous frenzy, summoning veritable clouds of stinging, biting, blinding allies right out of Hitchcock's worst nightmare!

 

Needless to say, Dr. Lytton never cashed in on his discovery.  There are rumors he may still be alive, however, weeping, laughing and raging as he incoherently wanders the streets. . . .

 

(equal parts Poison Ivy and Swarm).

The Dwelling in Darkness

 

This sentient building is on the wanted list of Interpol and the FBI despite the fact that there is no clear description of it nor any photographs. The others use it as a way of traveling in the night but they are sure to remain outside. Going inside is a no-no. At least not if you want to remain sane or alive. Who created and why it is lost to history, myth, legend and lore.

ASH

 

 

Ash-Lynn steeple was the prettiest girl in school cheerleader homecoming queen.

 

well that was until she let the quarterback take her up to that old abandoned hunting cabin to fool around she didn't want to go all the way not when he didn't bring protection. she tried to walk out they struggled she fell smashed her head the muscle bound moron thought she was dead and so concerned about his scholarship and his NFL career he torched the cabin to hide the evidence complete moron .

 

Ash Lynn wasn't even dead yet. she awoke still stunned from the blow in the heart of the inferno she screamed and screamed till the fire burnt her lungs and that should have been the end.

 

except after the fire had cooled down what looked like a dust devil seemed to form in the ashes swirling them without disturbing the grass or trees around the remnants of the cabin. over a short time  more and more ashes condensed in the center of the miniature tempest until a beautiful female figure composed entirely of the dark grey ashes stood. No one is sure whether she is a poltergeist,  a mutant who developed her powers as she died or something else. what is known is that she avenged herself on the quarterback first haunting him from the shadows then entering his room and suffocating him in a swirling cloud of ash.

 

ash is basically a walking pile of ash she is very resilient to damage especially fire and heat she also has the ability to turn into a swirling cloud of ash that blocks sight and can suffocate those not protected against that sort of attack she can also project tendrils of ash to strike distant opponents and while in her ash cloud form can slip through any opening. she also has the ability to repair any damage to her "body" by absorbing an equivalent amount of  any suitable ash

 

Ash has joined the Shadow Seven as a way to get what her murder denied her she has acquired a glamoured bracelet that lets her appear normal and when not engaged in crimes she is a wealthy and popular student at a party school.

 

The tragic death of the leader of the most popular sorority on campus was ruled an accident all the ash in her lungs was obviously from when her car caught fire after running off the road.

Randall Cuthbert, former Canadian Ministry of Transportation worker, is Pitch Dark; with the ability to transform his body into a resinous, sticky mass, extend his limbs and squeeze through small places.  Perhaps his most feared ability is his tendency to physically throw a portion of his body at an opponent's head - within seconds the unfortunate is unable to see, hear or breathe.

The final member of the group is the mysterious Fell Shadow. Nobody knows exactly who or what it is. It is permanently desolid, but can manipulate shadows to attack people and to handle objects for it. Rumor has it that Fell Shadow is a demon from hell, only partially summoned to Earth, and is using the others to eather send it home to hell, or to fully manifest upon the Earth.

New Team: The Aristocrats

 

Members: Seven

 

Theme: Remember the joke all comedians tell only to other comedians, where the punch line is almost always "The Aristocrats"? Well, this is the super villain team equivalent. All of the members are fowl, and there take on crime is that of a performance artist. There is at least a "father" and "mother", and usually a "son" and/or "daughter", sometimes some sort of pet, and the rest of the group may include grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, and aunts and/or other children of the family. Remember, they are filthy, and will do anything, and the group is suppose to be FUNNY (so, stay more on the tossing weaponised excrement, and less on public displays of incest and murder). Enjoy.
