    I have one word for anime fans that want to use the IHA ....

     

     

    Boomers!

    OMG! How could I have forgotten about them! They can go anywhere (until they lose their skiin). Fun for the whole family.

     

    Rep for you when I can rep again!

  16. Two that make one

    Re: Two that make one

     

    There have been some examples of this in comics before. But there are several different types.

     

    Firestorm (DC): IIRC, two people merge to form one super, with one personality retaining primary control of the body, but able to communicate with the other personality

     

    Psi-Force (Marvel New Universe): Multiple characters with powers of their own, unite their powers to summon a more powerful being (The Psihawk) that can use all their powers. They all had to touch a special medallion at the same time to summon the Psihawk. I believe the kids stayed conscious while the Psihawk was around, and could still use their own powers. The Psihawk had a personality of his own, and was not under the control of the kids.

     

    Captain Planet (?): IIRC, had some normal kids with magic rings that, when used together, allowed them to summon Captain Planet. Once summoned, Captain Planet operated independently from the kids, who I believe could use the rings powers on their own also. See Psi-Force above.

     

    Babe (Dark Horse): A John Byrne creation. The limited series starts out with an amnesiac woman with super strength, durabilty, etc. It is later discovered that she is actually five different women who were absorbed into the Babe form, and that Babe was powerful because she basically had 5 times human strength, durability, etc. When it was discovered where Babe came from, the women went their separate ways. However, there was a teaser at the end of the second limited series that in time of trouble, the women could be summoned from wherever they were to be absorbed back into the Babe persona. It appears their disappearance and summons was done without notice to or the consent of the women. They were just "taken" from wherever they were.

     

    I can't think of an example of the one you described, though. Sorry about that. Hope these can jumpstart something.

    Since then they have cloned him multiple times so that their entire Ruling Council is now called the Council of Hitler.

    As big a control-freak megalomaniac that Hitler was, I would hate to be in one of these council meetings. Can you imagine if these guys ever got into a heated disagreement?

    Hitler hired Johnny Cochrane as his lawyer' date=' whose defense was that Hitler's brain was not in control of his body when the crimes were committed...and was thus innocent.[/quote']

    Did he use the Chewbacca defense?

    Re: Hitler in a jar

     

    There was a B-movie about this, They Saved Hitler's Brain.

     

    With any brain-in-a-jar, to make them viable characters, you will either have to (a) implant them into a suitable body, or (B) turn them into an evil mastermind. I think part (a) has been handled pretty well in the previous posts.

     

    Part (B) would basically require that the brain have a form of communication with the outside world, and a cadre of people loyal to doing whatever the brain suggested. These could be scientists working on genetic manipulation, scientists continuing with the depraved medical experiments of the Third Reich, or scientists involved in creating a body to implant the brain in (or all three, depending on resources). These could be loyal Nazi's willing to wait until the time is right to bring about the return of their glorious leader, or even new agents that don't realize the person giving them orders is just a puppet for the real Hitler.

     

    I did like the idea of what if they cloned the brain. Where are the others, and why was this one not used?
