What power ideas/concepts do you get from these code names?

[phoenix240]

I'm working on a villain team from an unusual inspiration and I hoped to get some suggestions for possible powers and concepts from their future codenames.

 

 

Code Red

Pitch Black

Livewire

Throwback

White Out

Voltage

Supernova

Revolution

Ultraviolet

[Old Man]

Re: What power ideas/concepts do you get from these code names?

 

Ultra Violet would be a female EP of course. She'd wear a skintight outfit of deep indigo, and her energy blast would be invisible and AVLD.

 

Revolution is an automotive themed speedster/gadgeteer with move-through and autofire melee attacks.

 

Both would be dependent on caffeine and have the phys lim: diabetic.

Firstly, they're a team sponsored by Mountain Dew.

 

Code Red: Someone with enhanced senses, including danger sense.

Pitch Black: Darkness powers

Livewire: Electrical Powers

Throwback: The ability to become super-strong, but at a cost of his intellect

White Out: Light powers

Voltage: Electrical powers again

Supernova: Flying brick

Revolution: Telepathic 'inspiration'; the ability to give battlecries that boost CVs, recover Stun, and the like; alternately, a spinning speedster

Ultraviolet: Light powers; alternately, a martial artist with superhuman attributes, either named violet or wearing a violet costume.

I was wondering how long it would be before some got the gag. Those names just struck me as strangely asppropriate for a group of superhumans. I have a few ideas myself but it seemed like it might be a fun thread to start.

Code Red - paranoid, always ready for an attack that will probably never come, but when it does they know exactly what to do

Livewire - hyperactive, can't sit still, speedster, leaves electrical pulses and sparks behind as sfx

Throwback - intelligent ape or caveman, has anger mgmt issues, brick

White Out - blizzard/frost/storm powers or time manipulator that can redo recent actions

Supernova - energy projector, emits intense radiation and heat

Revolution - conspiracy theory nut and anarchist, ultra-libertarian, intensely private, but willing to help anyone that asks

Re: What power ideas/concepts do you get from these code names?

 

Code: Red - Cold War veteran super soldier. Weathered look, gray hair, pistols and a wealth knowledge making him extremely dangerous even despite his age.

Pitch Black - Blind super agent, lots of tricks and enhanced senses, namely an advanced Spatial Awareness. Gadgets and martial arts, along with "blackout" bombs to give her an edge.

Livewire - Reserved gentleman type, he uses carbon nano-fiber tubes as whips and garrotes along with other rope tricks. The appearance is a disguise when needed he's capable of moving extremely quickly.

Throwback - Telekinetic but she can only pull things towards her. She uses this to humorous effect by flinging targets past herself as she dodges them.

White Out - A young computer hacker with machine control. Able to create static fields she can jam virtually any signal or transmission as well as short circuit electronics.

Voltage - Energy absorber and living battery. Voltage can consume any type of energy converting it to electricity which they ca ndischarge as a blast or create a field around them.

Supernova - Rock star super hero, it's unclear if her powers come from her raw presence or some form of actual mind control.

Revolution - Mentalist with the ability to spread doubt and distrust. .

Ultraviolet- Powerful Psychokinetic about to manipulate her surroundings at a molecular level. Favorite trick, bending light around herself or others.

Re: What power ideas/concepts do you get from these code names?

 

The group (team might be too generous) will be called The Transhumanists, a collection of metahumans with a shared ideology of human advancement.

 

By any means nessecary.

Code Red

White Out

Voltage

Supernova

Revolution

Ultraviolet

 

Code Red: Highly-trained almost-normal, former special forces, lots of weapons. Danger sense.

Pitch Black: Slightly elastic demi-brick with a sticky tar-like body.

Livewire: Datacenter technician who in an accident during an electrical storm was fused to the massive bundles of wires. Computo/electrokinetic with a body made of wires.

Throwback: Similar to Beast, an agile bestial demi-brick. Genetic researcher whose body ( but not mind, of course ) 'devolved' during an experiment-gone-wrong.

White Out: Ice and snow powers, can create great blizzards.

Voltage: While Livewire can control electronics and, through them manifest some electrical powers, Voltage can manifest pure electricity from nothing. Powerful EB.

Supernova: Brick with explosive hand attacks.

Revolution: Spinning speedster.

Ultraviolet: Solid-light energy projector, similar to Green Lantern.

Re: What power ideas/concepts do you get from these code names?

 

Where White Out's suggested powers are concerned, so far I've only seen light powers

or weather-control abilities of some form listed. I'd like to suggest a third possible

power: the ability to neutralize a target's sensory perceptions -- hearing, sight, smell,

taste, and touch. This power would also work on senses of a mechanical nature -- for

example, security cameras would show only static, acoustic sensors would detect no

sound whatsoever, et cetera.

 

EDIT: Somehow, I missed seeing Certified's idea for White Out's powers; that would

make my idea a fourth set.

Hay one of us came up with something different thank you.

Villian ---> Secret ID

Code Red == fireman

Pitch Black == Does roofing

Livewire == Messenger delivery person

Throwback == Catcher/baseball

White Out == Office supply clerk

Voltage == Electrician

Supernova == Hosts documentary on PBS

Revolution == Fixes clocks

Ultraviolet == Painter

Supernova

Revolution

Ultraviolet

I don't have much (non native speaker, so i might miss the references a little bit), but some unusual:

Code Red: Asuming the same Code Red as in "A Few Good Men", he is a sort of Punisher for Marines(or generally military guys) that comitted crimes/"acted unpropper". Highly important code of honor, based on military tradition. All those who violate that code are fair game for him.

 

White Out: has a sort of Darkness Power. But instead of trapping the enemy in a Area of "Impenetrable Darkness/Blackness", he traps enemys in a Area of "Impenetrable White" or the Sensory equivalent. Being trapped in an Area of total Whiteness can potentially drive you crazy (even more than beign trapped in an area of black darkness).

Alternatively works by sensory overload (Flashes).

 

Ultraviolet: Maybe Aid/Drain/IPE-UOO for EP's. Ultraviolett light has more Energy than Visible light (the general rules is: the shorter the Wavelenght, the more energy), so perhaps she can produce a UV-Shift in allies powers.

She could also make her self invisible to normal sight, but obvious to UV-sight by shifting all the Light passing her to the UV-Area.

Possible a Inpercieveable Flash/Blinding Transform based on bombarind enemy eyes with UV-light.

Good idea on White Out. But, to carry it further. Combining White Out and vision neutralizing makes me think bright lights. So, the "neutralizing effect" may in fact be some form of sensory overload.

That's pretty cool. Thanks!

Re: What power ideas/concepts do you get from these code names?

 

I just noticed that ther could be uneven Teams/two side of a medal combinations:

Pitch Black / White Out: Differently themed applications of darkness, flash and other sensory affecting powers

 

Livewire and Voltage: Both some kind of electricity themed, but different power sets.

 

Supernova/Ulltraviolett: Supernovas (as most energy intensive reactions) are often acompanied by Ultraviolett Outbursts. Sometimes Ultraviolett Light is the only sign of something going on (where there is UV, Supernova can't be far. even if we don't see him, jet).

 

Code Red/Revolution: Just take some Comunist/Russian Background behind Code "Red" (I wonder nonbody had that so far). Maybe a supersoldier experiment?

And Revolution is the stereotypical Russian/Red Army Soldier with AK-47, Molotov Cocktail and the other stuff (http://images.wikia.com/communpedia/images/b/b1/RA3_Soviet_Conscript2sm_%281%29.jpg http://www.filrobb.com/ArtWork/RedAlert2/ra09_boris.jpg)

 

Pitch Black: Once had the idea for an Darkness EP, that somehow is able to produce "Dark Energy/Dark Matter" effects. Darkness Energy that works as an protection, because it's density is so high/it absorbs energy at a high rate.

A Black Colored Blast that (after the hit) let's some of the Darkness energy "Cling" to it's targets for some time, applying massive amounts of weight on it.

Perhaps even a "Dark Matter Sphere": a really small point in Space (no bigger than a coin to the eye), but with high density/gravity pull in a fist sized area around it. A RKA, AVAD, Does Body. Maybe even NND.

Re: What power ideas/concepts do you get from these code names?

 

I noticed a lot character whose names could be conneted with Stellar Phenomenons. Both as a single Team with only the fitting Members, or perhaps as a ruse team. (We always thought "The Universals" where our enemys, but they are only part of a even bigger team):

Code Red - Red Sun Themed Fire EP

Pitch Black - Darkness, like the Black Sea it self

White Out - ever looked into a Supernova? Or a Glactic Core? These things are really Bright.

Supernova - Obvious

Ultraviolet - you may not see it, but it's always there. Perhaps a sort of Infiltration Specialist for the team. Of course, like before with Invisibillity.

[phoenix240]

Re: What power ideas/concepts do you get from these code names?

 

Some really good ideas so far. I think I might have to split the characters between two groups though. There are two different themes that don't mesh very well. And I think Code Red might make a good vigilante/Anti Hero.

Re: What power ideas/concepts do you get from these code names?

 

villians with a twist there crimes are part of something bigger

 

Code Red former special forces operative expert tacticians skilled combatant suffering from nightmarish hallucinations and night terrors following a botched operation in Afghanistan that have turned him into a dangerous psychopath and leader of a team of super villains at least that's the official line. code red believes that during the operation he came into contact with a mystic artifact that gave him prophetic visions of a coming apocalypse and only he can prevent it by performing certain task and anything goes assasination, robbery kidnapping or for that matter rescuing hostages saving people from assasination and returning stolen property.

 

Pitch Black master of the book of shadows mystic master of darkness and summoner of entities from the shadow realms

 

Livewire speedster with hyperactive combat style and the ability to generate short range bolts of static electricity

 

Throwback multiform acrobatic brick turns into proto-human Apeman(just for fun power coem from ancient bone club that he hurls in combat and he has a tendency to hum

)

 

White Out the cosmic editor a reality warper with the ability to temporaily remove objects or people from reality(actually i really like the idea of someone with psychic blindness inducing powers but thought i should offer another suggestion)

 

Voltage A gadgeteer with electrical powers that act as a generator that charges his gear

 

Supernova the teams power house flying energy blaster with a devestating last resort explosive blast(leaves him totally powerless for several minutes)

 

Revolution super charismatic speaker able to sway a crowd or individuals to his side with well chosen words

 

Ultraviolet martial artist with the ability(maybe a suit) that lets her change light reflected from her skin up into ultra violet range making her invisible to normal sight.

Pitch Black: Sounds like this guy's secret ID's last name should be Riddick.

 

Throwback: Channels his inner Kubrick a lot, does he?

Re: What power ideas/concepts do you get from these code names?

 

Don't have the whole set here.

 

Code Red: An adrenal booster. Can boost his strength and speed up to phenomenal levels but only for very short periods of time before burning out.

 

Throwback: And absorbing brick. The more you hit her, the stronger she gets.

 

Pitch Black: Dark clad stalker of the night. I picture him as being invisible to electronic/ mechanical surveilance
