Aphorisms for a Superhero Universe


Clonus

Recommended Posts

Wisdom from The Sphinx:

 

"You must be like the wolf pack... not like the six-pack."
"You must lash out with every limb, like the octopus who plays the drums."
"Learn to hide your strikes from your opponent and you'll more easily strike his hide."
"When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack."
"He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions."
"Do not go there, my son! When you doubt your powers, you give power to your doubts."
"We are number one! All others are number two, or lower."
"Sometimes, the true hero is the one with the courage to run away."

Be Valorous & Courageous in your pursuit of Righteousness at all times.

Show Benevolence & Selflessness in thy actions.

Conduct thyself Politely & Respectfully, to those deserving.

Thy word will speak nothing but truth.

Uphold thy Honor by being true to these edicts, at all times, even in secret.

Oppose Evil, in all its forms-Defend the innocent-Avenge victims of Evil.

 

"Reveal to us the metal of thy character; suffer the courage of thy convictions.”

Sir Robert The True

From the same film (Mystery Men), The Shoveller's one liner just before entering the climactic mission that will near certainly be a suicide mission to save the city (so it is a phrase to used about a very big, hero mission but one which will be very difficult to pull off and you might all die, or worse, fail to save the city):

 

We've got a date with destiny! And it looks like she's ordered the lobster!

Always know which walls are load-bearing.

 

 

 

Reversing the polarity on something always works but the team technologist will never think of nor reverse the polarity on something until someone suggest to him or her that they do it and someone else says "Hey that is just crazy enough to work!"

"How can I reverse the Polarity when everyone is Lithuanian?"

"I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone.  It's not because it's fun and God knows it's not because it's easy.  It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does.  I do what I do because it's right!  Because it's decent.  And above all--it's kind.  It's just that.  Just kind.

 

"If I run away today, good people will die.  If I stand and fight, some of them might live--maybe not many, maybe not for long.  Hey, maybe there's no point in any of this at all,
but it's the best I can do, and I will stand here doing it until it kills me."
--Doctor Who
