I guess sits a bit obvious but then so is wearing variation of your murdered families circus costume to fight crime.

Magpie seems like a perfect name for a junior crime fighter

Magpie

Pica pica

AKA: Black-billed magpie (N America)

Magpies seem to be jacks-of-all-trades – scavengers, predators and pest-destroyers; their challenging, almost arrogant attitude has won them few friends. With its noisy chattering, black-and-white plumage and long tail, there is nothing else quite like the magpie in the UK. When seen close-up its black plumage takes on an altogether more colorful hue with a purplish-blue iridescent sheen to the wing feathers, and a green gloss to the tail. Non-breeding birds will gather together in flocks.

I’m really tempted to give her kleptomaniac tendencies, which tend to work out for the best with her stealing the key component for the death ray or the key card for the cell some has locked nighthawk in.

The more I think about it some minor luck powers would be useful

I’m seeing low level clinging, as never falls and an uncontrollable jinx to shut down video cameras or alarms guess the combination on keypads or just have that blaster rifle fail to discharge.

I also think increased DCV or decreased for her opponents who have a tendency to trip and fall would make her more of a challenge as a sidekick

Combined with a gadget pool armored costume and a mask with vision assistance and flash defense.

Costume: I’m thinking black and white body suit mostly white on the chest mostly black on arms and legs worn with a black hooded cape with white segments in the interior closing the cape will hide all of the white. Maggie also adds white stripes to her short black hair before going out she wears large goggles (think current Cat woman) like a mask the feature a bird beak that covers her nose and features a filter system as long as she breaths through her nose. A small gadget pool including various grenades and throwing discs. The most famous being her magpie call a sonic grenade designed to distract and confuse her enemies hearing she likes to take out the lights and then throw in one of these whilst she strikes with impunity. She fights using a collapsible staff.

Description Maggie is 5’6†wiry and lithe she always seems to be in motion but when she wants to be she can be as still and silent as the grave. Her features can only be described as cute with her short spiky black hair and challenging, almost arrogant attitude. She’s a bit of a wild child tending to get in trouble at school especially because things tend to go missing around her they always turn up again but people get suspicious. Maggie has a problem with bright shiny things and buttons she just has to push them for some reason this always seems to result in the destruction of some super geniuses doomsday weapon or the microwave. She has a tendency to become distracted by bright flashy powers and in particular cute boys with that sort of power.

strictly speaking mapies are back and white which should stand out though obviously not as much as red green and yellow.

fun future events magpies dad turns up as the latest nest recruit.

alternativly dad gets out of jail and tries to claim her.

magpie discovers she has some previosuly unknown luck based powers

I have to say I see Magpie as a girl

Lets see Margaret Pie or Maggie was a street kid, mother was an alcoholic dad was in jail she grew up with no supervision she was a natural climber with no fear of heights by the time she was 14 she was working with a young street punks who wanted to be professional thieves. She was there cat burglar climbing through tiny windows and vents to disable alarms. She might have stayed a thief.

If she hadn’t got involved with the wrong heist it went great Maggie clamed in the roof of the ware house disabled the alarm system and then the boys came in took out the guard and loaded up the truck with what was supposed to be high priced consumer electronics.

Unfortunately the warehouse was a cover for viper and the electronics where part of one of there grand schemes. The gang dumped the gear off with their fence and went off to celebrate. Maggie went home the next day the paper was full of a series of grisly murders the victims had been tortured and killed in disgusting ways and Maggie recognized everyone they where her gang. Maggie skipped town.

She would have stayed away but viper unable to find her killed her mother in another grisly ritualistic attack.

That was the last straw Maggie came back changing her identity she hit the streets she was always stealthy and no one really noticed street kids. She started gathering data on viper taking photos gathering evidence she assembled a dossier on the local nest she handed the file over to the FBI signed simply Magpie.

The viper nest was ruined the higher members got wind and fled Maggie discovered the leader hand moved top the millennium city nest and followed and that where she met Nighthawk sneaking up on him as he watched the viper nest. Nighthawk was impressed by her stealth and her climbing and acrobatic skills she had the beginnings of a brilliant detective as well he took her under his wing taking the young orphan as his ward and teaching her his skills together they fight viper to avenge the suffering the serpent has wrought.

oh like in wildcats where the superhuman task force is based out of the national parks service or the invisible man where the super secret agency is the beaueru of fishing and game

oh they will have a name but it wont be anytghing exciting they just have it for use in official documents and approriations reports. something like

alternate water supply group

or special theater survey team or even

mineral and soil observation division

lord laiden I think teh villains will be calling them

hickey and ....job

anyway another suggestion

PIA short for Personal Intelligence Augmenter( I assume thats what husky needs it for) or what husky think it stands for

"Pain In the Ass"

hmm I like bob.

i also like george as in i will call him george and i will hug him and pet him like the abominable snow man in bugs bunny cartoons.

or for teh really geeky amongst you how about BIT a sin that floating shape chsinaging thing that hooked up with the jeff dabials in tron when he crashed the tank.

i think the trick here isnt so much making the speedster very powerful but giving him a distinct advanatage the location scoudl beas important as the actual stats for this a complex labyrinth would be particularly good.

with the spedsters superhuman speed he can run rings around the players keeping them seperated and disoriented and it also easily removes advanatges from there powers energy blast are no good if there are no clean lines of fire.

making the complex subteranean would limit both bricks and flyers no air space to use cant just smash through walls in case you cause a collapse.

then you can use your speed to lead them into traps and individual arenas designed specifically to take that team member out all on live pay per view to the world.

speedrazor think quicksilver crossed with the shredder from teenage mutant ninja turtles.even bricks shoudl be intyimidated by run through with adamantium blades moving at the speed of sound add throwing knives and a various limpet mines say emp for dealing with power armour etc.

hmm how about a flame kept in a spherical cage as the symbol the idea of imprisoning a force for destruction for the better ment of mankind or something and red and black as the uniform just because it looks scary.

well my prefered source says eagle also vulture quite frankly i think having your liver eaten by any bird of prey would be not much fun

scarily enough theseem to have thought of this and you can pretty much just pull powers straight from the SPDB size alteration powers 'im not sure what the limitation only via urinery track would be worth though.

lets see powers

shrinking

swimming

maybe leaping

life support breath pressure and posion and disease

and then an attack to those sensative parts.

then you'd need skills anatomy, sewer navigation not sure what else?

PANOPTICON im not sure if this should be the name of the team or their command center i assume that would be away from the prisons that way you don't ahev to worry about some super villain brteaking into your comamnd center and disabling your whole tracking network or what have you.

you could just go with

The Prometheans or the Promethian guard.

sticking with the greek myth

firebringers

flame tenders

how about from prison terms

The Wardens

THE BULLS I think thats what they called the guards on alcatraz

for the gibraltan team

THE SCREWS what they called prison guards in the uk

i think I'd just have to order some of the more esoteric items if only to keep them out of the hands of evil plus for the return address

can soem oen explain why they used the theme tune for stargate sg1 as the backing music for the trailer?

just as a thought. The alien criminal for could be a psionic parasite that could posess people and ride around in there heads. fits nicely with the voodoo principle of being riden by spirits. new orleans woudl be a perfect place for a being like that, to set up shop it has lots of succeptable/weakend by drink minds, lots of tourist should it need to make a hasty escape and lots of wilderness surrounding for it to crash land in.

what i loved was teh fact they had teh woman who played lana in superman 3 as martha kent in smallville now thats confusing i wonder if they can get gene hackman in some how as lex's buisness manager or something.

Captain silver back

It was 1923 when captain William d'silver champion yacht racer was flung over board during a powerful storm off the coast of west Africa he awake days later still clinging to a hunk of drift wood and unable to tell where he was he spent days exploring the local area he found food and water and an ambdoned temple to rest in whilst exploring the temple in search a means of escape he came across a ancient treasure hoard amongst these was a golden amulet with the face of a shrieking gorilla in its mouth a huge ruby. Forgetting even escape he quickly plundered the treasure placing the amulet around his neck.

That night he slept but his dreams where invaded with terrible nightmare an ancient tribal shaman stood over him waving a golden staff embossed with the same ape head as the amulet "You have stolen the treasure of my people and for this you shall be cursed for the rest of your days to bear the mark of your theft.

his sleep was fitful and feverish racked with pain and strange visions he awoke the next day feeling groggy his body felt strange he couldn’t stand properly he dragged him self to a nearby pool of water and looking in he saw his face had changed he look incredulously at the ape like visage that looked back at him. He attempted to tear of the amulet that was around his neck but could not this was his curse it took him months to adjust to his new form

then something happened a boat arrived the where looking for him a plane had seen a stone message he had left on the sands before his transformation he watched from hiding as men searched the beach and trekked to his camp site finding his tattered clothes and his few possessions his would be rescuers talked amongst them selves about weather he had been carried off by animals they turned to leave and from his hiding d silver screamed and his voice was recognized by his first mate as he came lumbering from eth jungle his rescuers looked on in disbelief but they all recognized his voice and he knew them they where forced to believe and so William d silver was rescued and from that day on he has journeyed the earth searching for a cure to his bestial form.

He has been accumulating artifacts ever since most notiably in 1942 he bested nazi artifact hunters in south America to discover the legendary fountain of youth he now guards its where about but the flask of water from it he perpetually carries has kept him in his prime for the last 60 years he fighst crime in his off time with his collection of ancient artifacts always traveling in search of a cure

though secretly he knows he woudl miss his gorrilla form if he found one.

Count silverback

Its the age old story bored Transylvanian vampire noble has debauched party you know hot and cold running virgins the finest bloods from around the world and after they have all had a bit to much to drink some bright spark breaks into the traveling circus and kidnaps a silver back gorilla and then they turn it into a vampire just for kicks.

Of course it doesn’t work out well firstly a 500 pound gorilla is dangerous enough without vampirism strength and speed combined with suddenly gaining human level intellect and psychic powers.

silver back kills the previous count and takes over growing bored he returns to his native land of the Congo and founds a vampire ape blood line deep in the jungles and there our story would end if a group of poachers hadn’t come upon the sleeping count in his jungle fastness doped him up and shipped him off in a dark packing crate to new York of course the moment the count regained consciousness she started on a bloody reign of terror and mayhem.

.

teh hulk movie had it all bruce banner is gentically experimented on as a child then is exposed to nanotchnological anti radiation treatment and then bombarded with gamma rays.

mardis gras girl

her costume jeans, a loose tee shirt and a neck full of plastic beads she robs banks coinvinece stores and anywhere theres a lot of loose cash and preferably male staff.

her power is that the moment she lifts her shirt no one can look away from her chest and will instantly forget what her face looks like oh yes and anyone who is attracted to women obeys her every command as long as her chest is exposed.

as denver is the fastest growing city in america i wouldnt be suprised if it needed a super team plsu its a very nice place and the high altitude might make it a popular place for flyers.

hmmm yeah ist always good when you get captured and then spend sevral years being painfully experimented on to test out possible super soldier serums watching others arodun you turn into hideous blobs of protoplasm or just die in excruciating pain listening to there screams at night as you lie sobbing racked with pain at the latest invasive tests the latest wabe of radiation treatments the superpowers probably make up for the post traumatic stress disorder anbd the nightmares .
