OK just watched a very interesting instalment of forgotten weapons on the Pancor Jack Hammer a weapon well known in video games and a lot of role-playing games I didn't realise that they never entered production. so you get to see the only example and the iconic look is of a early machining prototype not a  finished article.

Bouclier/maginot

Simon écran is a mutant able to generate an incredibly potent force wall unfortunately he was only able to create it in one plane at a time a single flat unbreakable shield.

He developed his powers when he was 16 and decided to become a superhero. His early success saving people from a fire and rescuing a small child from a lake.

These acts of heroism where unfortunately overshadowed by his first foray into crime fighting when attempting to stop a bank robbery he managed to pin the robbers against the side of the bank with a force wall only for the getaway driver to sneak up behind him and cold cock him the robbers escaped and the whole incident was caught on camera.

Some pundit on national tv compared him to France's failed defences in WW2 and the name stuck no matter how much he tries to get people to use his official name "Bouclier" the shield he is still called maginot. villains often take advantage of his anger in the hopes it will make him sloppy.

Bouclair is kind of a one trick pony he can still only create a single rectangular force wall of considerable toughness but only in one direction at a time since developing his power he has developed a number of tricks to compensate.

His favorite tricks in combat are the wall smash where he quickly move the force wall forward or tilt it down onto opponents to slam them, the compactor where he presses enemies against a wall or other suitable surface applying pressure of needed(since the first failure he is much more aware of his flanks when using the attack) and the plow angling his force field 45 degrees and then charging does to send them head over heels.

Out side of combat Simon uses the wall to protect innocents and his team mates but also laying it flat to make bridges at an angle as a rescue slide or using the plow trick to move obstacles as he can generate the wall at and position he has learned to use it as transport too laying it flat and using it like a magic carpet he is the team's short range transport specialist he can fly them longer distances but as the field offers no protection from the elements they will usually travel in a vehicle carried on the wall.

This is only done in extremis as the field is not the fastest method of travel.

I've idea for a team, but can't figure out where everyone is on the last one.

Mother Dearest
 
the one who keeps the others inline (well she stops them from running off and playing in traffic... mostly) Mother is a sturdy woman of the kind popular on seaside postcards she is dressed in her sunday best and carries a large hand bag. Mother has several powers.
 
the first is an impenetrable forcefield no matter how disgusting and vile the rest of the family gets no dirt slime or filth will mar her perfect outfit this includes bullets bombs and fists she still suffers knockback and some stunning damage but nothing can actually harm her.
 
her second ability is her hand bag which seems to open into a extra dimensional storage space mostly she just uses it to produce a variety of melee weapons usually rolling pins frying pans and umbrellas but occasionally banana skins custard pies or novelty dog poop etc which she uses both on enemies and to keep the rest of the family in line.
 
finally she has her big red and white polka dot hanky when another member of the family is injured or completely covered in filth she will spit on it and magically wipe away the dirt and damage. she is the least objectionable but also the most dangerous and focused member of the family she keeps the on track so they can actually complete their goals rather than splitting up and causing mischief on a much smaller scale.

Reminds me of the anime grenedier for some reason!

I can think of two reasons. Or would it be four?
 

Wallflower
 
Ivy Castillo was a successful botanist in the millennium city botanical gardens when the champions found some unusual seeds at a crime scene.
 
While ivy was analyzing the sample the seeds sprouted developing at an alarming rate the creeper vines entwined around ivy's arms burrowing into her skin she passed out from the pain and when she awoke she was something new her whole body was enveloped in vines tendrels penetrating her skin and fusing with her nervous system she discovered that the seeds where part of an alien planets ecosystem a world where all of the plant life was one huge mind and the tiny fragment that had enveloped her wanted to go home. Ivy is now a criminal stealing both to fund her research (firstly to send the seeds home and secondly to remove them without killing her) and also to acquire materials both for her experiments and to support the plant colony that needs some exotic nutrients.
 
The plants have enhanced her her whole body is entwined with vines that give her enhanced strength and speed .the conection to her nervous system has improved her reflexes. The vines can also extend at will to entangle or swing. The small creeper vines also allow ivy to cling to surfaces effortlessly. Finally the plants grow blue flowers that release sopporific pollen which will knock most normal people out for hours.
 
As wallflower ivy doesn't really have a costume she is covered all over in a thick mesh of vines when trying to be incognito she wears baggy cloathing to hide the vines with long hair and a hoodie to hide the tendrels that enter her brain.

WARCHEST
 
formally. Gunnery sargent Wanda "chesty" Pullman USMC. Wanda had to work very very hard to gain respect in the Corp. a statuessue and busty blonde her nickname started out as an insult commenting on her bust and disparaging her in comparison to usmc legend chesty puller.
 
She was just a sergeant in the logistical warehouse not a front liner that was until the empress of a billion world's army started appearing though Dimensional portals world wide. soon she would be a legend.
 
Managing to pull together an effective defense against the aliens winning the human forces first victory against the enemy.
 
as the citation for the medal of honor said through sheer force of will and tactical acumen and in the heat of battle she put together an effective fighting force from a as hoc group of survivors from multiple services and courageously rescuing many survivors of the initial cowardly attack and initiated the first effective counter attack whilst acquiring essential intelligence that made effective counter attack possible.
 
The intelligence was a captured senior officer and samples of D Trooper weaponry.
 
The initial invasion was repelled and gunny Pullman was assigned to a special Darpa research team developing weapons based on the captured D Trooper gear.
 
They developed the War chest system a simple gun metal bracelet that allowed the wearer to open a pocket dimension filled with weaponry. Able to extract any thing from that extra dimensional store house a single round to a Abrams tank. The tests where very promising the weapon would have entered production if it wasn't for the second invasion.
 
the force that came through was much much greater superpowered d soldiers in numbers to blacken the sky millions of D troopers stormed every strategic location. Wanda fought hard pulling every last weapon bomb and grenade from her arsenal.
 
Yet nothing could stop the invasion it was just too much the government surrendered and Wanda was captured and taken to see the empress as the being that has foiled the first attempt.
 
Wanda stood before the empress knowing she would die here before she surrendered and with that she used the very last weapon in her arsenal. She dropped the tactical nuke at her feet.there was a brilliant flash ...
 
and Wanda waited for a death that never came she looked up seeing a brilliant ball of energy floating in front of the empress somehow the nuke had been contained Wanda could do nothing but scream. Overcome with rage she broke free from the guards and charged The Empress she almost made it arms out stretched to strangle the life for her. Then she struck the forcefield bouncing off and collapsing to the ground.
As she lay there crying with rage as the. Empress looked down on her with haughty disdane. Wanda was defeated and knew she would die now the guards where already raising their rifles when she felt a shock from the dimension bangle it throbbed coruscating with energy and Wanda was flung to another world. Now she is one of the refugees constantly adding to her arsenal seeking a weapon that will let her liberate her world from the empire.

Meastro
 
The maestro was once a world reknowned concert pianist. That was until the unfortunate day when the slurred drunken wish of a venal idiot (god knows how he found the djinn) shrunk him to a foot in size and enslaved him to the self same idiot.
 
the next three years where a living hell as he was paraded around cheap dive bars as a means to free booze. Finally the sit wrapped his car around a tree.
 
Released at last but still only a foot high he took to crime at first just to survive and then as his skills grew as a freelance criminal.
 
Soon he was pulling bigger and bigger heists in the hopes of obtaining enough money to restore his height. The meastro is now an expert thief using skilled fingers that once wowed audiences now pick locks and crack safes he uses his metronomic precision to execute his crimes.
 
Such is the life of a 12 inch pianist.

X-0

Wayne Hudson was first introduced to the public as "battery park man" a media sensation when the brutally mauled man washed up on the southern tip of Manhattan barely alive back broken limbs so damaged doctors described some of his fractures as like sand and hamburger.
 
No one thought he would live speculation was rife was he a victim of organised crime did he survive an impact with a truck a train a super tanker. No one could identify him he was in no government database world wide searches where conducted as he stubbornly clung to life. Eventually he was released a quadruple amputee with spinal paralysis and total amnesia.

Everybody thought he would just disappear into obscurity and live off the charitable foundation established for his care.

What no one expected that was within 6 months Mr Hudson would be signing his first multi million dollar licensing fee for the first of many world changing inventions.

fewer people still could imagine that 2 years later he would be walking again using advanced cybernetics and a supportive exo-frame. Soon the charitable foundation was providing thousands of mobility challenged people with subsidized simplified versions of the Hudson exo frame.

Wayne Hudson is the darling of the social world billionaire philanthropist and social crusader. Mr Hudson and the foundation are So beloved now that even the worst yellow journalists didn't blame him when for the super criminal X-0 appeared wearing a stolen advanced firefighting disaster relief exo frame sure the ferocious black armour Liberally tearing apart bank vaults and science labs alike with the refugees is his creation but what ever monster pilots it is a sick criminal .

Except the refugee villain piloting X-0 is Wayne Hudson and Wayne Hudson remembers everything.

5 years ago Wayne Hudson was someone else, somewhere else, he comes from a parallel universe. In his own world the man who would become Wayne Hudson had Used his genius level IQ and his talent for invention he was a PhD and multi millionaire by 20.
 
But he wanted more he believed in justice and chose to become a superhero funneling his personal fortune into developing advanced crime fighting tools and training his body to perfection. he became the mysterious Mr X The Midnight Avenger. He would quickly become one of his world's greatest heroes his quick wits intelligence and inventions compensating for his lack of powers.
 
Eventually he was invited to join the Watch the world's most powerful and successful super team fighting along side the miraculous invincible Paragon. Then one day paragon snapped with no warning the most powerful being on the planet he started killing whole cities some times destroying whole blocks with a single blow others taking his time to dismember and mutilate every person individually. The world's heroes tried to stop him and where torn apart. Villains with whole armies threw every doomsday weapon and death ray they had at him. nukes orbital strikes and even several actual gods rose to oppose him and all fell.
 
Through the desolation of what had once been the great city of New Amsterdam strode Mr X in the huge suit of  powered armour he created for just this occasion. He had built it just in case a being as powerful as Paragon was mind controlled or possessed. He strode into the devastated remains of the cities great park and found the once great Paragon attempting to throw screaming civilians into orbit. His anger evident even through the distortion of the armours P.A. Mr X demanded paragon surrender demanded answers for why he had done this.

The answer chilled him "I was bored" . Paragon spoke with his level calm voice still using the resonant tones that had represented honor and heroism to the whole world; as he cast another screaming victim skywards.

"I didn't come here as a baby the sole survivor of a dying world!" "I wasn't sent back in time from a utopian future" "I am not a God decended to tend to the mortal flock".
 
"I am SO MUCH MORE! I am the single solitary unique being in all the multiverse; and all This.."
 
he waved his arm showing the desolate ruins the crying civilians and Mr X in his armour.
 
"This is a game I play hero enjoy the fighting the praise the women and when it stops being fun I do this and move on to another game. Somewhere else pick another parallel universe at random and start again after all there are infinite games and infinite versions of all of you worthless beings and just one of me."

Mr X had reached his limit disgusted by the contempt the arrogance the betrayal he bellowed his defiance and launched him self at the former paragon who stopped him with no more effort than if he was lifting a feather Mr X was hanging from his throat suspended above the ground as paragon snapped his left arm like a it was a twig crushing super tech armour and human bone with equal ease. X screamed screamed and paragon waited.
 
Mr X panting, his voice strained by the extraordinary pain said one thing. His voice catching between each word "I am sorry it had to come to this"
 
paragon just laughed.
As paragon laughed in his former allies face, Mr X s armoured right arm flexed a hidden compartment in his gauntleted fist popped open revealing a glowing crystal ring within. Then he struck, a powerful haymaker with all the augmented force of his suit and his fury behind it. The blow struck true straight into paragons chiseled heroic face. X's fist stopped cold a punch that would tear down buildings and shatter meteors stopped like a cotton ball hitting a tank. Mr X's fist shattered the glowing crystal becoming so much fine dust and did the bones within. And paragon laughed even harder.
 
" You fell for the Paragonite ring"
 
"I invented that so women would feel safe sleeping with me" you know the whole "man of steel woman of Kleenex thing"  he smirked making an obscene gesture.
 
with a self satisfied smirk on his face. He hurled X to the ground . X felt his spine shatter he could do nothing but watch helpless as Paragon floated over him.
 
"I wonder where you got it was it?"
 
"Was it that pretty feline villainess of yours?"
 
" She was so always a lot of fun but then her whole sorority of evil strumpets passed that thing around like a party favour."
 
"villain sex is the best nothing quite like a sex kitten in black leather on top of a few million in cash, not that  Thank you so much for saving my life sex isn't fun.." he said with a lascivious glance at some of the cowering female survivors.
 
"And who could forget all the just finished saving the world sex with the female members of the Watch that was fun too especially when Battle Babe and Magnifica were willing to share.."
 
Well you get the picture." He smirked down at Mr X  laying broken and  barely conscious beneath him.
 
"This was fun!" Paragon said barely containing his mirth.
 
"I tell you what I'm going to let you live! Won't that be nice?
 
"I mean I'm gonna destroy this world first.obviously."
 
"Charging my batteries so I'm at full power for the next universe will pretty much destroy all life for a few dozen light years but you get to go somewhere new before that and if you can find me again maybe you can actually kill next time!
"Won't that be fun?!"
 
and then without another word. He tore X from his suit mangling his legs in the process and hurled him through a rip in the universe.

The man who fell from that tear washed up in battery park and his stubborn refusal to quit until hi has avenged every universe that that monstrous evil has killed has driven him ever since joining his fellow refugees as he tries to acquire a dimensional transport and some weapon that can kill the unkillable.
