Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I don't know whether that looks disgusting or delicious. Probably both. But if you want to eat any of these, you might want to check into a hospital to be evaluated for suicidal tendencies first.... I've always wondered what a deep-fried Milky Way tastes like, though.

Re: Superman on 350 points I've always wanted to build a Champions character around the three core Superman powers: faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound -- without so much of the power expansion that came later. How much Running and/or SPD do you need to outrun the fastest bullet? How strong do you need to be to be able to pull substantially moire than the most powerful railroad locomotive? How much Leaping would you need to clear the tallest building currently standing? Add some rather extreme toughness and you have a pretty good representation of the early Fleischer-era Superman, who didn't fly but could jump dozens of miles carrying two people and control his precise landing point.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Valentin Yosenko was a physicist seeking to understand the forces that hold the Universe together. When the particle accelerator in the Ukraine where he worked had a massive accident, he absorbed the energies released. Instead of dying, he found that he could manipulate the primal forces of the Universe: Magnetism, Gravity, the Strong and Weak atomic forces, magnetism and other powers he has yet to identify. Ostracized in his homeland and spurning the Mafiya who wanted to use his powers for their ends, he came to America seeking his place in the superhero community -- as much with his intellect as with his barely-understood powers. Here he is known simply as The Human Field.
