Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

I'm going for the character I think the heroes will most enjoy attacking...

 

- - - - - - -

 

One of the posters was of the latest installment in the Twilight series. When the smoke cleared from the battle between Dr. Oddity and Montos, a young man was standing in the theater lobby, looking confused. "Where is my Bella?" he asked.

 

One of the teenage girls, trapped in the lobby and unable to escape during the battle, swooned and then rushed forward. She had, after all, dressed the part for her absolutely-OMG-favorite-of-all-time movie. "It's me, Edward! I'm Bella!!!"

 

At first, the sparkling vampire lad was fooled and took her into his arms. But after he looked at her face closer, he threw her aside (breaking many of her bones when she struck the wall) and shouted, "No! You have actual facial expressions! You cannot be Bella!"

 

Since his appearance, he tried to be known by his actual name, but unfortunately for him Frank N Furter mind-controlling some reporters to call him Sparkles instead, and the name stuck.

 

He has all the powers of the fictional Edward Cullen -- superhuman strength and speed, telepathy, etc. -- and is only with the Images so he can better search for his Bella. Thus far, Ms. Stewart has managed to avoid Sparkles.

One of the posters was for a kids showing of UP. IN the middle of the magical battle, Alpha and his biplane flew out of its poster. Trapped in the real world with a squeaky voice, and a predilection for chasing squirrels, he is the Images air support.

You knew it had to be coming.......

 

Return of the Jedi was showing. And the poster contained the picture of Carrie Fisher in the metal bikini. Yes, you knew it had to come to life. Going by Rebel Princess she seems to have a knack for mind-controlling geeks, nerds, and other sci-fi "freaks".

That is five Badger so what is the new team ?

[Badger]

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

Dead Man Talkin' !

 

Who says the undead can't talk ? Or for that matter tell jokes ? or Sing or Dance ? Not Dead Man Talkin' ! And don't forget the exclamation mark. It is part of his schtick. Dead Man Talkin' ! is an annoyance at best and a royal pain at worst. That he is dead is not in dispute but what sort of undead is. Certainly not a ghost or wraith. But he could be a ghoul, zombie or a revenant. He has faked being a vampire and gone into paroxysms when faced with an exorcist reying to get rid of the spirit possessing a body. He has also lied about who he is or was. Of the group he is generally the most unlethal preferring to freak people out rather than kill. As he has quipped 'Ever try talking to a zombie ? They are so boring ! If it's not UUUUUUUHHHHH, it's brains ! I mean really. Bury my mother, PLEASE !'

He can take an awful amount of punishment without permanently dying. Much to the chagrin of at least one of his team mates and most law enforcement who have come across him.

Juust be careful if you smell something that smells like death and a voice asks 'Can I give you a hand ?' Because it might be him and he will. Although not both.....

Jonnie Rot

 

Jonnie Rot is a revenant, and proud of it. Halling from the doomed southern town of Plesent Vally, Jonnie played the revenge game for a while (killing northerns with 'games' to revenge themselves on Sherman's March and such), but grew board with it all. So, takeing some of Grannie Boon's lip smacking BBQ Jerky and a Southern Solder outfit, Jonnie left Plesent Vally to see how the world has changed since The War Of Northen Agression.

 

Jonnie is in heart a good old boy, more likely to drink beer and moonshine than to kill you. And there is a good deal of rotting going on with him (since he can't get back to Plesent Vally to rest between Jubilies). He is only a little bit raceist (which makes him an outcast in the eyes of Plesent Vally..."There dead anyways, why not free Crow and let him chose?"). Sometimes one of the proud citisens of Plesent Vally comes to visit him (usaly Hucklebarry), sometimes to convince him to come home and be one of the 2001 ("Is it still that? I lost count after 2007.")

 

As for powers, Jonnie Rot is hard to kill (since he is already dead), and is realy good with makeshift weapions and (surpisenly enougth) guns. He is not above eating human 'Yankies', but thay must be cooked and smothered with barbeque sause or rub first.

 

 

Based loosly on Two Thousand Maniacs, and it's remake/sequals 2001 Maniacs and 2001 Maniacs: Field Of Screams. I'm still waiting on 2001 Maniacs: The Beverly Hellbillys myself.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

The Mortician is not really a mortician. He just took the name because dead people seem to look for him for some reason. he can't walk down the block without talking with some ghost with a problem, a vampire out for blood, or a confused zombie.

The Ghoulfriend

 

Amanda Hazell would be remembered as one of lifes wannabes if it had not been for her death and then rebirth. Particularly as her rebirth came on national TV. During coverage of a press conference gunfire broke out and the cameras caught Amanda being cut down by a hail of bullets. It then showed her spring to her feet again, look at the bullet holes and remark "Well I certainly did not sign up for this !". She then proceeded to attack the man who shot her and rip out his throat with her teeth. The blood re-energised her and she drank deeply. Then she had to run before the police and others got hold of her. She vanished for a while and the reappeared as a walking Vampire cliche. Dressed to the nines with pale skin and red lips, she spouts such cliches as 'I do not drink....... wine.'. Nicknamed the Daylight Vampire by the press, as she can operate quite happily in the light of the sun but mostly operates at night as it fits her schtick. She became the Ghoulfriend after running into Dead Man Talkin' ! and he made rotting eyes at her and said plaintively 'Won't you be my Ghoulfriend ?' The fact that it was Halloween and the press were out in force meant the name stuck much to her chagrin. She vowed to have nothing to do with him but ran into the Mortician several times. She gave up trying to fight fate at that juncture.

She is quite strong but needs blood as sustenance. She prefers human but will drain anything if she has to. Like Jonnie and Dead Man, she can take an awful amount of damage. She can be knocked out and also can be taken down by drugged blood although diseased blood she spits out and it has no effect on her. She is also not a carrier of blood diseases which annoyed some people who wished to use her as such.

Religous symbols have no effect on her although she will often play up as if they do. This bizarrely includes religous works like the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, the Scientology guides, the Necronomicon and other works like Lord of the Rings, the Communist manifesto, a signed copy of Stalin's Five Year plan, Playboy and the NFL yearbook.

She is also protective of The Mortician although she won't say why and even argues with anyone who says she is.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

Buster Knowlton was addicted to gambling, and his luck (whether at betting on horses, card games, casinos, etc.) would swing wildly from incredibly good to incredibly bad and back again constantly. It was during a particularly persistent bad-luck time that Buster walked out of his house and was hit by a meteorite. He was killed instantly, but to his surprise he didn't go on to the afterlife. He was a ghost, doomed to wander the world. (He isn't sure why this is so -- Buster doesn't feel he has any particularly important "unfinished business" but he suspects that some mystery element in the meteorite is responsible for trapping him between worlds.)

 

He was rather put-off by this turn of events, until he learned that his ghostly touch seemed to alter probabilites. He could touch a deck of poker cards and one player would start getting impossibly good hands (as in, all 4 aces six times in a row). Passing his hands over a brand new car could cause it to throw a tie rod. He began to experiment and had fun with his newfound ability, though he can't always control whether his target gets good or bad luck.

 

Eventually, Buster started to get bored. Most other ghosts he met were either dreadfully dull or disturbingly scary, and being unable to speak to the living (in most cases) made him feel quite alone. He was wandering the city one day when he ran across the Mortician, and was shocked to learn that the man could actually see and hear him. Mortician invited Buster back to meet some of his friends, and in a way has adopted the wandering spirit.

 

Buster joined the Walking Dead after discovering that the other undead members of the team could also see and hear him. Taking the name Ghost Buster, he serves as the team's recon person as well as their wild card in battle. (This has become amusingly literal -- Buster has discovered how to manifest a deck of ghostly playing cards, and can fling them at nearby targets, altering the probability of whatever they hit.)

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

The Lady of the Manor is a 2nd ghost of the group. From a prominent, and outrageously rich family of the Northeast in the late 19th century. She married a man of a lower class, who she tended to nag incessantly until he had enough and fled to the West to never be heard from again. The fact that he was gone bothered less than the fact for once someone had dared to spurned her. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view) she died from epidemic shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, dying in bitterness, kept her behind where she haunted the family mansion. This eventually led to the family abandoning their home, and eventually selling in the 1940s. Currently, it is uninhabited. Except, for an occasional TV Ghosthunter show, where she had some "fun". Recently, she met up with the Mortician when he visited the area. And has joined The Walking Dead to kill some time. (pun intended). And for her own ends.

 

She has all the typical ghost powers. Though she prefers using teleportation (or maybe just portals) She loves using it to "collect" things. Even so far as once using it to "absorb a hero's energy blast and using it later in the fight on the hero. Her 2nd favorite power is posession. She loves possessing a hero to fight against their team.

 

She doesnt much care for the rest of Walking Dead. Except, maybe the Mortician, who she thinks of as a sort of trusted servant. She particularly dislikes Jonny (perhaps the whole 19th century North-South thing), and is easily annoyed the the Dead Man. She thought about possessing him and swimming to the bottom of the ocean to see if his body would get lost. But, she particularly loathes possessing dead bodies.

 

[spoiler/] Her ulterior motive is to buy (through the Mortician) her old mansion. As she learned through the years, that land is the source of her powers somehow. And wants to keep it "safe" from the living [spoiler/]

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

I had last team, someone else choose

[death tribble]

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

Well I had an idea.

 

New Team: A team of villains based on the environment and animals of Africa. The entire continent. So the Sahara and Kalahari deserts, the Drakensberg mountains, Table Mountain, Mount Kilamanjaro, the jungles, the Savanna, the Mountains of the Moon, the Agulhas Current, the Benguela current. You can look all of these up on Wikipedia at the links below.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agulhas_Current

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benguela_Current

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Basin

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalahari_Desert

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilamanjaro

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountains_of_the_Moon_(Africa)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahara

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savanna

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_Mountain

 

Minimum 5, maximum 12. Special rule. If you post a villain based on one of the major animals of Africa, Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, Zebra, Giraffe etc, then the next one has to be based on the environment. The opposite is not true.

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

Drakensberg

 

Jan Mutters can transform himself into a craggy brick called Drakensberg after the mountain range in Africa. He also grows a fair bit (around 20-30 feet). He provides much needed strength and resiliance to the group although he is not the leader. He is also not stupid. So he can't be conned or bluffed with any ease. Some of the others shelter behind him as he is slow moving when they need a break or during escape attempts.

[csyphrett]

Re: Create a Villain Theme Team!

 

The Savanna is a green man. If you look close you can see tiny animals moving across his body. Sometimes these animals arent tiny at all. Many of his signature moves involves animal attacks.

[Badger]

No one knows how or why. But The Honey Badger, is a honey badger who has somehow gotten superpowered. He tends to prefer hand-to-hand combat. I mean he really seems to like hand-to-combat. And he will pick a fight with pretty much anything, no matter how much bigger. And somehow win, too (or at least come out none the worse for wear)

 

 

Oh, and dont get between him and honey. Trust me, dont.

 

 

Note: You knew I had to do the Honey badger for an African-based team.

 

[Cygnia]

Kgala is the word where the Kalahari desert got its name from, meaning "the great thirst". And this invisible entity can cause dehydration in mere seconds. No one knows who or what it could be or what its motivation is for working with this team but the others are savvy enough to not get Kgala mad at them. Its temper is as dangerously heated as its powers and it can strike suddenly. Those able to see the infra-red spectrum can detect the heat shimmer -- and that it's NOT in a humanoid shape.

[steriaca]

Kilamanjaro

 

Kilamanjaro is the group's other brick. As strong and almost as big as the mountian which makes up his name. His body is made up of rocks and grasses, and he can talk to the wildlife native of the Kilamanjaro area. He has a frendly rivaly with Drakensberg. It should also be noted that much like Savana and Kgala, Kilamanjaro may be more of a nature spirit than a true 'human transformed into something' being.

[BoloOfEarth]

death tribble: Does this team have a name? Something like Darkest Africa? Africana?

[death tribble]

I just went for Africa but those are good ideas.

[steriaca]

Well, that's five. Any more comming down the pike, or should I put my thinking cap on?

[steriaca]

Um...is there a way to deleat duplicate posts?

[Badger]

Be nice to see a couple more animals included in the group. I'll try to put one more of them out.

[Zen Archer]

I don't think so.

 

If it's not a new option with the "Edit" function, then definitely not.
