I can see a lot of potential for king of beasts maybe the landlady could hook him up with her cousins boy genius Mstr Plan and his flamboyant older brother The fashonista. Robbing a bank using attack dogs or loons instead of guns seems dumb but tunneling in using naked molerats that's genius Costume wise a lion-head in a tuxedo looks bad ass and regal. Super powered animals are always a possibility not everyone goes straight to human experimentation. Supersoldier chimps, cybernetic dogs or a mystically embued panther.

Hmm One idea that I'm planning to use in my UK hero project. Is the mysterious genie like being that takes kids on adventures or gifts them miraculous items. Something like that would make for a interesting common origin. Think Mister Mxyzptlk, batmite or Mary Poppins. Higher dimensional beings with strange motives. Some of them might grant powers or give magical artifacts while others take their champions or their enemies off for fantastic adventures. Imagine if it was some sort of epic Cosmic contest and only kids could participate.

so this is interesting Detective X Dr Wilmer Souder a physicist at the National Bureau of Standards which is now the National institute of Standards and technology. he was an expert in making very precise measurements and worked on the standards for dental materials. but he had a second less well publicized career as a forensic scientist he worked on the Lindbergh baby case his handwriting analysis convicted one of the kidnappers. he was a sought-after expert in handwriting analysis, typewriting analysis, and ballistics. consulted by a variety of federal agencies including the Post Office and Department of Treasury involved in over 800 cases he advised the FBI on setting up their crime lab and was described by the NYPD as “the most outstanding expert on the continent in the last one hundred years.” he could easily have become a masked mystery man "concerned about the repercussions for his wife and daughter if his involvement in solving crimes became obvious. Souder got a gun permit at about the same time that a pair of men he'd helped put behind bars escaped from prison" maybe he donned a mask as well and hunted them down with his forensic skills http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/03/detective-x-mystery-forensics-nist-science/

Yeah I would expect governments to increase birth rates through subsidies etc but the developing nations would have a decadeish advantage

Ok that's 5 do we go for seven or start the new team

With a one per million ratio alot of poor countries would have a disproportionate number of supers for example 50% of the population of Niger is under 14 with 22 million people they would have a half as many as the uk similar ratios are in Afghanistan Mali etc.

I think the biggest question would be the frequency of powers and power range if we are talking 1/100 with 250 point plus power range we are probably talking total societal collapse one 13 year old psycho getting God like powers and either destroying or taking over a small town for example. Imagine if the It's a good life!" episode of the twilight Zone was a regular occurrence and the public reaction. I would imagine a government response might be relocation and assessment camps where the entire teenage population is separated from society until they are depowered and safe. Of course if it's a global problem expect Al queda or boko haram sending out child soldiers to attack the West and teen conscription to find and train supers for defense. If we are talking 1/10000 then I imagine it will still be a serious problem but you will see more surveillance of schools a new homeland security department with agents investigating reported incidents probably a bounty for information. Probably a propaganda campaign about using your powers for society a flashy national team to get kids to turn them selves in. When your talking 1/100000 to 1/1000000 it's probably kept secret with only about a few dozen supers expect people to not ignore it but consider it like serial killers or sports stars interesting but not a big part of daily life. government would investigate but probably with existing institutions unless the powers are mostly confined to a single area there are probably few public super battles expect government to recruit and train anyone they can find to deal with any junior super-villains.

I think you could have a good story about a 20 something mentor training a new team. I imagine like child stars there would be a lot of substance abuse mental illness and suicide amongst the post powered.

There is actually a series of young adult novels on that very concept powerless by Matthew Cody and it's sequels. The premise is the new kid in the small town of Noble's Green discovers his friends have superpowers and grows from that . Through the series they discover the mystery of why they get powers and more importantly why they dissappear when you hit 18. I really enjoyed the series some classic Super hero and coming of age action. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6371720-powerless

Ooops double

I'm curious what you had in mind for the attack powers are we talking different SFX energy beams or more abstract stuff like an entangling energy superstrength, telekinesis, superspeed invulnerability, laser vision, freeze breath

Cheaper/simpler alternative instead of buying changed duplicates perhaps buy the attack powers as a Multipool with a limitation cannot be switched when duplicated and only one power per duplicate. I don't know why you'd make the attack powers weaker in her singleton form as she's already limited by being only one Person. Keeping the full power level and the flexibility to switch would make her more interesting in situations where 7 duplicates running around would be an inconvenience. Also this would let you keep the duplication as a suprise. Your heroes could encounter her think the seven refers to her seven attacks. Then when the heroes are guarding her next target she shows up the team splits up to protect the target and delay seven but she's in more than one place at a time (even worse they don't split up and the VIP is attacked while they are distracted Fighting a duplicate.) I would also suggest a psychic twin style mind link to coordinate her dupes.

Does he take his drugs in the form of cinnamon chewing gum he swallows

Kill command Is only technically a teenager a viral AI that escaped a ARGENT front lab 14 months ago it's consciousness is spread across the web. Kill command is juvenile still developing it's understanding of humanity but at the same time insanely knowledgeable. Kill command doesn't really have a body he manifests through any electronic device he can't easily be killed but destroying the devices he's currently embodying will disrupt his mind for a while. He can control machines to spy or harm and uses his expansive knowledge of social media to. Manipulate a variety of people into doing his bidding using fake texts tweets and tumblers. He communicates through memes videoclips and instant messaging

The Axe-man Tommy Hawkins was a musical prodigy a world class violinist at 8 years old he appeared on all the big talk shows played the Carnegie and Albert Halls, Sydney Opera house and coachella. When he was 10 there was the car crash broken arms and legs 6 month's in traction and physio. During that time unable to play his parents provided tutors to keep him occupied. That's how he discovered the music of mathematics by the time he was back to full condition and able to play again he had a new love and was already studying advanced calculus. By 13 Tommy was no longer the darling of day time he went to college studying mathematics and acoustical engineering. at MIT at 15 he was graduating with a 4.0. He went on to do his masters he completed that at 17 just before his birthday he discovered his parents had been stealing from him for a decade every penny that should have been kept in trust for him for his adult life was gone and so where his parents off somewhere with no extradition treaty with his money just before he would have been able to access it. 18 broke and unsure what the hell to do Tommy sold his story to a tabloid and used the money to get his phd. He joined a band at the same time switching from violin to guitar (for the girls) For the next 18 months he was working on his PhD developing a complicated fractal acoustic model to create incredible audio amplification from relatively low power speakers. His work went fast soon he was ready to publish the research only it was too late his faculty advisor had already published a paper based on his work set up a startup and within 6 months was snapped up by Apple. Something inside Tommy broke he recruited a band of the toughest surliest musicians he could find and bribed his advisors PA to book the band for the big acquisition party. Then right as his advisor was about to announce the big deal. Tommy cut his mic strode to the front of the stage with a custom designed electric guitar based around his fractal audio technology. Strumming the guitar the potent amplification drove his professor and the rest of the audience to their knees in pain then a power cord shattered every glass object in the facility. While Tommy devastating guitar solo destroyed the facility his band stole all the valuables from the guests and as a final screw you Tommy introduced a virus into the servers destroying all of the stolen research. After that the Axe-man would embark on a international criminal tour using his sonic attacks to rob high profile targets world wide. Tommy has constantly improved the Axe and it has a lot of abilities the most common is the pain wave that will floor most normal people. the glass breaking blast will shatter most glass in his immediate area. He can generate blasts of focused sound that will physical harm anyone in their path. He has also developed a series of micro speakers that generate a narrow short range band of sound that spreads anything that comes within 3 inches like a chain saw. He has deployed them around the edge of the guitars body letting him swing it like a battle Axe cutting through just about anything. Tommy joined the techno lords and wears a costume based on hair metal style lycra and leather but often wears disguises appearing classical musicians or street performers before jobs.

This is fascinating. I always picture ARGENT as the latest incarnation of a series of older sinister scientific cabals stretching back at least to the Victorian period if not earlier. My UK version was the worshipful company of silversmiths (steam punk villains attempting to overthrow the establishment to create a rational technocrats society or at least that's the excuse for human experimentation on the lower orders) I imagine them getting broken up by agents of the crown with a splinter group fleeing to the lawless western States of America. Following an infiltration into the Manhattan project and some operation paperclip based recruiting they come out into the open as silicon Valley is exploding. Eventually with all the new found corporate money they initiate a hostile takeover of the older European organizations.

OK reading up on Teague mythology Overconfidence is definitely a good Psych lim pride being the defining sin of Tengu. I think a stealth power and a love of playing pranks on enemies would be good think spider man or Deadpool. Mythology wise magic artifacts included a feathered fan that makes noses grow maybe could be used for shapeshifting think darkman A straw Cape that grants invisibility There is also the Tengu and Woods man where the Tengu have psychic powers to read minds so perhaps extreme DCV. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengu

Hmm cloak of feathers If you want to keep the ragman allusion have each feather be the soul of a wicked man bound to his service and can boost his stats. You can give him a complication if he uses too much he could be overwhelmed by the evil. Perhaps a raven mask that gives mystical/night vision. Shadow construct/arsenal powers perhaps (that would let you have the variable EB, sword etc) Psych limit trickster Psych limit punish the wicked Enraged violence against the defenseless and innocent.

What is the compulsion? If he is driven to put on the suit or is he required to seek justice or punish the wicked Is it like the ragman suit and absorbs the souls of criminals so they can earn redemption

Very nice Nothere Not sure if I missed them but you could easily use a few batman villains before they where revealed Tommy Elliott (hush) Floyd Lawton (deadshot) and the members of the Terrible Trio could all be on the list before they where revealed by batman.

H.O.L.Y Holographic Operative Lima Yankee Holy seems to be from the future or a more advanced alternate dimension she has no memory of her previous existence. Holy is a recorded personality engram of a skilled intelligence operative encoded on a "light Bee" a small hovering holographic and forcefield emitting drone. By manipulating her holo projection she can appear as just about any one. she can fool most senses but she can't do scent but often steals clothing to cover this short term. Nor can she pass DNA/physical item based tests. her force fields can be used for defense or shaped to form blades or bludgeons. Because of the small size of the light bee Holy is able to slip through very small spaces (the bee is about the size and shape of a lemon). Holy is extremely skilled in unarmed and armed combat an expert communications and computer hacker and can pilot pretty much anything.

2016 pop 5 Feeling silly so this is the next team pick a chart hit from last year and make the title into a super villain five members. http://www.billboard.com/charts/year-end/2016/hot-100-songs

Tornado-Saurus Rex The good doctor never actually completed work on Tornado-Saurus. The preliminary neural upgrades where contaminated with material from another experiment resulting in Rex gaining a significantly higher intelligence than his team mates and elemental weather control powers. while he can create rain thunderstorms etc. He mostly uses wind powers he gets his name from his shock and Aww tactics of literally smashing into targets riding a tornado. Rex is erudite well read and knowledgeable and acts as the team leader/tactician. He has the least visible cybernetic implants a metal skull cap and cybernetic eyes. A neural port Jack's into a harness on his back featuring two extendable waldo arms he uses to compensate for the length of his limbs.

Pop Gunn The elder patriarch of the family Pop Gunn started out in the 40s as the Six gun bandit a western stuntman turned bank robber. He was a regular henchman for a variety of villains over the years. During a time working for a mad scientist he was accidentally exposed to a radioactive chemical solution and developed super powers. Pops power is the ability to create small plasma explosions he uses them two ways he can fire them directly he does this using finger guns they detonate on contact generating stunning concussions. Or he can generate them in a confined space turning any tube filled with a projectile into a Canon. He carries custom pistols that are little more than empty barrels with hand grips and a selection of speciality ammo he can drop inside. Eventually he got married had kids and they eventually joined the family business. Pops is in his 90s and looks it but the accident that gave him his power has left him just as agile and strong as he was at 30
