Re: Favorite Superhero Lines Superman is chewing out the Ultramarines after rescuing them from Grodd's mind control: "Your 'no nosense' solutions are insufficent in our complex world of time travel and jet powered apes."

Re: Looking for Spidery names ... sort of. Aracnaphobia -- Fear projecting mentalist Webspinner -- Either an entangle or communication specialist.

Re: One of my PCs wants to become a US law enforcement officer US Marshals are probably your best bet for action. Note their security, fugitive tracking, and court order serving duties. FBI is mostly into detective work, which might fit your PC better, depending on skills and such. Remember, every FBI agent is an attorny, accountant, or computer scientist. Well, except for Scully, she's a MD.

Re: WWYC Want for Christmas? Starhawk wants everybody to hear the good news of Lord Phoenix. Psike 3 wants to marry Phoenix and wishes his weirdo alien step-daughter wasn't a religious nut. But she's a good kid for all that. Eleven wants a pool of sharks with frickin' lasers... And a kitty with a frickin' laser. And her boyfriend Shillelagh to be happy and have a hit movie. And for her evil genetic doner FX to get a boyfriend. And OK, world peace for the uncloned or something christmas-y like that.

Re: Do you use the official Champions Universe? "Curse you Powerfist! VENGENCE SHALL BE MINE!!!!"

Re: Do you use the official Champions Universe? The PBEM game I GM uses a homebrew setting. I try to make homages to various comics and other appropriate source material. I incorperated material friends developed. The PCs are the big hero group in the setting, and run around Avenger level in power. There are three fictional nations: * Al A'Maraj (lifted from On the Edge/ Over the Edge) * Balistan, a second world nation working to develop an industrial base, located on islands in the Indian ocean. * Gilderham, a postage stamp European country best noted for heroic restance to the NAZI menace back in World War II, and for the weird science the Royal family has acess to. No SHIELD / UNCLE like international police or paramilitary agency. There is a US superagency, but they're not very effective due to interagency rivalries. Most every reasonably sized nation has a national government sponsered superteam. Some are just PR or maybe disaster relief types, others are super-thugs. A couple of more or less friendly alien fleets over head. One's a benevolent, noninterventionist, but occasionally bad tempered super-race of time travellers from the future who act as sponsors for the big PC superteam. Kind of like having the Guardians of the Galaxy move in with you. The other is a bunch of one PC's relatives who are refugees from the losing side of an ancient starwar. There was a thriving criminal traffic in clone slaves. This was suppressed by the PCs and other heroes. At least two demonic invasions have occured. The children of ancient mythical beings are trying to muscle into organized crime. Oh, and an immortal villain has spawned an eccentric family of covert superbeings. Something like Amberites meet the Adams Family meet the Wold Newton families. At least one PC is a relative that went public. - Robert Edwards
