Re: How Would You Make Green Lantern? Y'know, I like this Emerald Pharos writeup. I hate VPPs -- partially because of the paperwork involved, and partially because they're so freaking versatile.

Re: Death Race That's the very best kind! A vastly underrated and under-represented cinema experience.

Re: Mapping the galaxy Whoops. Meant to be supportive, not Orwellian. I can't wait to use the four-armed galaxy.

Re: Ten Best Superhero Martial Arts Wouldn't that be lovely. Thank you sir. But it was a long time ago, on the other side of children.

Re: Stay on topic.

Re: Ten Best Superhero Martial Arts Weeellll, there's Aikido and then there's Aikido. I assume that Japanese Riot Police are taught a different sort of Aikido than the kind I've run into. I've met black belts in Aikido who can barely tie their shoes. When I was a beginning Escrima student, we were working out in an Aikido dojo. The black belt who loaned us the space grabbed a jo and wanted to spar. I could disarm her -- my instructor, who was more politic, didn't spar. Around my current home town, there are a few Aikido dojos, but they've given up even trying to call themselves 'self-defense' schools. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OqMLzVKAJs I'd stick to Aikijutsu, or better yet, Jae's Sin Moo Hapkido. Oddly enough, though, usually when I play a martial artist, I make up a martial art for him, like Seven Dragon Thunder (my character's name, as well). My first character was a ninja -- he used ninjitsu. Don't judge me, this was the early eighties.

Re: ninja heroes from each state From San Francisco, California, comes The Mist: master of stealth and evasion. Almost impossible to see, much less hit, and fighting him is frustrating and winds up becoming very painful as you collide with walls and asphalt. He has been detained, with his assent, but can never be held . . . .

Re: Jedi hdp and lightsaber I don't think I've built a character without Combat Luck since I discovered it. I named it "The Spiderman Effect", but that was copywritten or something.
