Re: Top 10 List of the Lamest Superheroes of All Times

Re: Top 10 List of the Lamest Superheroes of All Times The effect otherwise known as screwing up the cache. Parking Lot is Full did used to be hotlinkable; you'd think a comic that ended in 2002 wouldn't be so touchy about it now. Edit: Sorry 'bout that.

Re: Top 10 List of the Lamest Superheroes of All Times

Re: Top 10 List of the Lamest Superheroes of All Times I don't know if this makes him lamer or cooler, but if Wikipedia's to be believed the two slugs are his digestive system, which crawl back into his body to replenish his energy. Think Matter-Eater Lad as conceived by Berni Wrightson...

Re: Top 10 List of the Lamest Superheroes of All Times He'd do that very well-- and if body language counts as a language Doug can decipher, he'd potentially have the fighting talents of Cassandra Claire (aka the recent Batgirl).

Re: A tip OIF the hat: How to remove Crowns That reminds me: one of the British slang names for Christmas is Crimbo. Seems like there's some cracktacular potential there...

Re: Top 10 List of the Lamest Superheroes of All Times It is kind of a pity Marvel killed him off just as cyberpunk concepts were becoming mainstream. Me, I'd've liked to see a major archaeological society ask him for help. Linear A and Mayan khipus (knotted string writing) are still waiting to be fully deciphered...

Re: The Powers of a Super-Butler Some kind of focused telepathy to anticipate what their boss wants (ie the Radar O'Reilly effect).

Re: Santa Claus is coming (and man, is he ever pissed!) As a woman I'd call it a Phys Lim disadvantage, and not just because he'd end up dehydrated after a particularly lively night.

Re: Batman's Utility Belt Yeah, it's in there. He uses it to send Two-Face's guys into catatonia before disarming the bomb on the helicopter.

Re: Good animated supers flicks? Is Ben 10 on DVD yet? I admit I find Ben an irritating personality, but the basic premise of the show is cool.

Re: The Ultimate WWYCD: Ninja or Pirate! Irving: He's a quarter-ton stone lion the size of a large horse. It DOESN'T MATTER 'cause he's not going to be very good at either career.

Re: The best retcons of all time True, but then again, so was The Watchmen and people seemed to be fine with counting that one.

Re: The best retcons of all time The DC Animated Universe doesn't count, does it?

Re: Best and Worst Costume/Appearance Changes Maybe. ETA: Admittedly, I realized I wasn't sure if you meant honorable mention: best or honorable mention: worst....

Re: What Would Your Character Wear? The Costume Party! Irving once went to a costume party as a giant stone lion in a fez ("Well, that gets my vote for most authentic"). One of the other team members spray-painted a small trashcan red and added a properly-sized tassel.

Re: What is Munchkin? Interestingly, the show never showed how the heroes themselves turned off the transformation, but the villain, after finding a piece of one hero's "civvies" and discovering that it in fact did turn into part of her uniform, came up with a device to forcibly transform them back! There was also an episode of the show where one member of the team lost his bracelet and didn't know it until he tried to transform. It sorta-kinda feels like OIHID since the transformation usually involves an verbal activation ("Bird Go!" or "Transmute!" for those of us who remember Battle of the Planets), and probably could be treated as such for most game situations.

Re: Bad Powers If Wikipedia's to be believed, the writers fully intend to have him show up in a later episode.

Re: What is Munchkin? Can you have an OIHID that somehow IS a focus? I was thinking of G-Force, where they need their bracelets to change into their Hero ID uniforms. And on the actual topic: I always figured a munchkin tended towards powergaming but made it more annoying by having a childish (in the bad way, ie temper tantrums) attitude and a propensity for having his own fun at the expense of everyone else's.

Re: Bad Powers Actually, Mythbusters couldn't get anything to happen when they tested such frequencies on their show, but you don't have to let that stop you.

Re: The things you pick up from Cartoon Network

Re: Show me the Water Powers If they're a kind of "weather witch" then snow and hail powers might be more appropriate (large hailstones would be a good one, actually: EB, Area of Effect, Indirect).

Re: Anyone know what happened to JLU?

Re: NAZI Villians Wasn't there a bizarre Nazi hero, or antihero? He felt that he could demonstrate Aryan superiority by helping to shepherd (through rescues and such) the lesser peoples.

Re: WWYCD for a klondike bar? (humorous please) Be very confused. How can a being that doesn't eat-- indeed, has no digestive system or taste buds-- tout food?
