dsatow Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 OK, here's a topic/game. Come up with silly supervillains. Rules: 1) The villain must be of a caliber that the police will have a hard time handling. (so Statue Boy is out) 2) The villain must be something that would make a respectable superhero groan if the villain were their arch nemesis.

dsatow Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 My entry would be the sentient ear of corn. Born in the cornfields near a leaking nuclear power plant, the corn cob became sentient and super intelligent (28 INT). He has been killed twice but always reappears reborn in some nearby corn plant. He is the only corn cob like himself. He is the Uni-Corn. His faithful lacky and protector, Mister Scarecrow, and his legions of Strawmen plot each night to take over the corn belt of the United States. Vulnerability to Microwaves. Hunted by Crows 8-.

In addition to an a maize ing intellect, the Uni-Corn has exceptional hearing and an uncanny ability to get people to confide in him. He's all ears! Lucius Alexander The palindromedary thinks this must be the corniest villain ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Lucius did that villain pop into your mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 My entry is Tenpin. A bowler who gained TK powers. As a result, his Force Field looks like a bowling pin and his Blast looks like a bowling ball! He’ll bowl you right over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidume Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 I had a whole team of these. Beware the menace of - the Herd! The Herd was a group of ladies with mostly mediocre super powers, (though the did have one brick who was pretty tough). The dressed up like cows that were auditioning for a Chik-Filet commercial. Mad Cow - the tough one, classic brick/tank with damage reduction. About as smart as a cow. Rage Issues. Cow Patty - threw exploding stinkbombs (exploding flashes to sights and smells, with a small NND blast) Holy Cow - A martial artist who could attack while desolid. You shoot/punch her and a hole forms, the attack goes through. Then she hits you. Cow Gummy - She came from Germany ? . A fighter with some stretching and contortionist abilities. There were one or two more, depending on the size of the group they were fighting, The prided themselves on robbing Dairy Queens and being "non-lethal cereal killers" when they burned down a Kellogg's facility. They would milk the puns for all they were worth. dsatow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmOz Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 The Flasher: Long trench coat, etc....Big flash power (by opening his trench). No real "punch" to his attacks, but big enough flash to let him steal what he wants and get away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Backpack Jack is, well, a nerd with a backpack. He can pull out practically anything from it, except the object which would be useful at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they aren't blinded by the flash, they begin laughing uncontrollably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clnicholsusa Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Does it sound better if I've used the villain? Beware the Dolphinator! In Florida, a mutant is born with the ability to hold his breath a long time. As soon as he could toddle he would sneak off to the beach, often spending hours playing in the riptide and turning up miles from home. His father, in an attempt to understand and bond with his son, builds a set of strap on fins and streamlined face mask. They work well, and as Alloyishus (just go with it) uses them he comes up with many ideas for improvements. Eventually, he leaves home decrying the plodding landlubbers and takes to the ocean full-time. Usually, the Dolphinator doesn't bother anyone (although he has been known to engage in aggressive herding with other dolphins). His occasional forays ashore (usually to repair his fin prosthetics or have some film developed at the camera kiosk) invariably involve theft of some sort and he is wanted for several of these acts. His primary attack form involves a full move through with his (now almost unbreakable) pointy face mask. It looks silly on land, but in the water he is quite formidable.

But not content to leave well-enough alone, he decided to branch out into lightly armored suits and acid-based weaponry. Not being as good with chemicals as he thought he was...well, let's just say there was an accident. And a lot of vomit. Then a lot more vomit. Then it started really getting gross when Mr. Stanley couldn't stop...for days. When he finally got himself under control, he'd found a good use for his newly patented Slides-Right-Off fabric coating. The money from his patents and sales are well-separated legally (and internationally) from his criminal activities so that the US justice system can't stop or seize his businesses or money. And Stanley has taken to challenging random superheroes who have a code vs killing so he can use their battles as infomercials for whichever gadgets he is field-testing that week (notifying the media in advance of the confrontation and prominently mentioning his products by name during the fight) . He's even done the same thing to a couple of supervillains, who have taken the experience of battling The Regurgitating Man with just as much grace and aplomb as you might expect. dsatow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Madame Patissier Her power is to create, en masse, the pastry of your dreams...be it a simple glazed or fancy maple bacon donut, eclair, or even an elaborate napoleon or torte. And the Mind Control that locks your attention on the savory, luscious delight, so you can do nothing but savor its taste, its texture...you always want just that one more bite, and it's always there....... All while she clears out the jewelry cases and cash register, lifts a wallet or two, and saunters off completely undisturbed. The cops particularly dislike her because her donuts, of course, trigger their fundamental Psych Lim. dsatow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
