To be fair, pseudo is the name of the game in pulp science, surely?

Alternatively, just spend a couple of points on having a tiny base with no features, the use of which being just as a closet, then an Extradimensional Movement power with all of the disadvantages you mentioned. Put it in a ring (a Focus) and allow only a person wearing the ring, plus belongings, into that closet space (so the ringbearer cannot use it as a safe place to let the rest of the team hide when they want to, etc).

I am honestly quite curious what a Skor is. What words used in the name of any brand of chocolate look at all like Skor when upside down or something?

(The) New Mutants
 
Edit: Damn it! Distracted for five minutes (checking that it wasn't, technically, "X-Men: (The) New Mutants" - which it isn't by the way - in case that mattered. Ah, well, O it is...
 
Oblivion 

Did you know, thanks to a very old law that is still in place nobody living in London is allowed to be buried there? 
 
Apparently, you need to be dead first.

Oh, my god, yes! Tilda Swinton, *as* Tilda Swinton, turning out to be the secret leader of all vampires in the council of elders!? Such an amazing choice.

There are 10 kinds of people. Some can understand binary, and some don't get this joke.

There are 2 kinds of people. Some of them can extrapolate from incomplete data. 

Wait, did Ragnarok start already!? Dang it! I'll get my boots.

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica So close no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know So close no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are And nothing else matters Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never cared for what they say Never cared for games they play Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know And I know So close no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trusting who we are No, nothing else matters

Currently watching a handful of my favourites of Tilda Swinton. 
Only Lovers Left Alive - A slow paced emotional drama with John Hurt, Anton Yelchin, Tom Hiddleston, and Tilda Swinton. Tom Hiddleston is a vampire with depression. He's currently going through a small period of suicidal thoughts so his old friend, and fellow vampire, Tilda Swinton, travels from her home in Tangier to visit him at his house in Detroit and keep him company, hopefully dissuading him from acting on it.
 
Orlando - The life of a person born a man in the 1600s, quite androgynous and a skilled poet, as he becomes Queen Elizabeth's confidante, ceases aging because she told him to, romances a Russian Princess and an American rebel (who may or may not be the spirit of freedom and adventure), and one day wakes as a woman, still being very androgynous, because the masculine world was no longer suiting her.
 
Constantine - A DC action film that totally butchers the DC trickster wizard and his world, not even pronouncing his name in the right way. But, at least it makes good use of Tilda Swinton as the appropriately agendered archangel Gabriel, who advises Constantine on the will of God as he tries saving the world from Satan's rebelling son.
 
The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe - Tilda Swinton plays Jadis, the White Queen. She's an immortal, albino, giant, who created Narnia after destroying her last world in order to have somewhere new to conquer and currently reigns over it as the Queen of an endless winter without a christmas. (Yeah. Fun fact: when Aslan said "Don't quote the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written!", what he's carefully not mentioning is that, though he was there, it was *her* who wrote and cast the deep magic. She actually *is* Queen of Narnia, rightfully, and the Humans from our world are colonial invaders.) 

Pretty much any of Lindsey Stirling's songs on youtube as inspiration for a game.

In any campaign, I like to check if there is a form of in-universe "official" *Evil*, like hell and demons. If so, then "Evil" is merely any connection to a hell or a demon, which is a potentially still moral person/place. You are theoretically capable of finding nice, moral demons, who sense as "Evil" because they are demons. You could also find nasty and immoral angels, who sense as "Good" from their angelic divinity. You mostly find those who are neither "Evil" nor "Good" whether or not they are moral, immoral, neutral or anything else.
 
Often, however, there is no such thing as a "Detect Alignment" spell or any such thing, and the only form of evil is the regular kind with people being selfish or immoral. For a quick judgement, generally speaking, any who cause pain, sorrow, stress, and things like that, either intentionally or, to a lesser extent by simply not bothering to consider other people, is said to be an evil person.
 
People who either restrict other's freedom or their free will, and those who deny that which others need while they could give it relatively simply, are the worst sort of evil. Slavers, tyrants, merchants who're making money from droughts, plagues, and wars. 
 
Bigots, such as racists, sexists, and terfs, are not even brought up in the games I'm playing in. If they were, they'd be killed by everybody on any side, good or evil, very quickly. Which is part of why we don't use bigots as villains. They don't last long to become major plot elements, and they're unpleasant to be around while they remain.
 
If you want a pithy saying, maybe:
 
Good Guy: There is no such thing as "Evil". There is only freedom, and those who would oppose it.
 
Bad Guy: There is no such thing as "Evil". There is only power, and those too weak to take it.

A playlist mix of the heavy rock from the Iron Man films, the mixtapes from the Guardians Of The Galaxy, and the jukebox music of Captain Marvel. Oh, and the one Jazz hit with the flügelhorn from the start of Doctor Strange.

Happy, yes, but over way too fast. Who's up for making July into Pride Month 2: Electric Boogaloo, this year?

How did I miss that one? Literally the scene that it shows up in, he says that! Gah!

Maybe that's the secret. The successful super-villains who you hear from, because they keep cropping up to do villainry, are the crazy obsessed types. There are plenty of the previously lower level but then got a power up or some training or just a sack full of treasure, who you simply stop hearing of and you tend to assume that they finally died off after Punisher found them, or got sent to the Suicide Squad, or whatever. You know, basically the word on the street is that they finally got big enough to draw too much attention for their power level/smarts and got killed. But what actually happened was that they got all they ever wanted.
 
Somebody with the small pocket dimension powers that let them smuggle weapons and cash and stuff as a mercenary, retires once they figure out how to make a whole extra pocket universe, because instead of smuggling *an army*, they'd rather make a lot less money much more safely by simply letting supervillains retire to a pocket world mansion. 
 
Some sort of immortal who only became a supervillain from boredom finally reaches the end of the century that they promised themselves they'd spend as a supervillain, and disappears, with nobody realising their connection to the new superhero who rises on the other side of the world, being a hero for the next hundred years.
 
 The evil wizard that everyone was so worried about finally kills their good guy archnemesis... and promptly resurrects them, joins the their team and is revealed to have been that hero's mentor all along, not having turned evil but merely trying to test the hero's worth and having found it wanting, but with potential.
 
Basically, in a comic, heroes and villains tend to keep coming back the same as they ever have been, with any changes (even good, well-written, famously popular changes) being retconned or simply ignored by some later writers who either didn't do their research or just refuse to acknowledge the changes. 
 
But in the real world, with those heroes and villains added, there's much more scope for long-term redemptions, or a retirement for a super-villain, or just an illegal deal actually going well.

Honestly, since that's Alyson Tabbitha, it wouldn't surprise me if she was just actually Mystique IRL. I mean, have you seen her Jack Sparrow? Or her Lestat? Or... Well, you get the idea. Shapeshifting powers IRL don't seem unlikely.

It is not so much a single quote as a rough paraphrasing of a running joke that is not at all in character (at least, I don't think so) in canon, but we do jokingly say it in the voice of our characters, whenever a supervillain gets pushed off a high place and can't fly, or gets blasted unconscious with a beam:
 
Oh, no! NOT WILHELM!

This might sound strange, but what is actually in that folder? Because I am honestly loving the look of that character build lay-out. Is there a PDF copy of those write-ups that you could share with the forum? (Obviously not if that is an official product or what-have-you, but since that looks like a Batman image in there, I was inclined to think that it was a fan-made thing.)

Bruce Lee, of course, the master of the martial arts, as our heavy hitter. 
 
White Death (Simo Häyhä) brings his own super identity, is our weapons master.
 
Harry Houdini, the master debunker, is our expert investigator and escapologist.

You say fireball is not necessary, and I know that D&D has some very specific ideas about what a fireball spell is, but honestly, I tend to encounter a more apt form of what I would call a "fireball" spell generally featured in a *lot* of fantasy. That being the depiction of a mage who holds out a clenched fist or spreads out their fingers and suddenly those fists are wreathed in flame or their spread fingers are cupping a hovering ball of fire, then they either punch the air towards their target or vaguely flick their open hand towards their target, and the ball of fire is sent flying into the opponent.
 
Rather than exploding and taking out a room grenade flamethrower style, these common fireballs tend to simply "punch" the target, along with a little bit of damage from the fire itself, but only enough fire to cause a problem for extremely flammable targets. Otherwise, the main point of the spells is just to produce a very hard punch at a long range.
 
That seems like a fairly believable spell for all sorts of magic-users to learn and teach their apprentices as the most basic form of attack, even if only for self-defence. You're an academic who doesn't want to get into melee with your enemies, so you learn how casting an element at your enemies works, and of course everybody picks the element that is the most easy to learn how to cast.
 
Basically just a Blast with Energy Damage and No Endurance Cost.

I've done the inverse sometimes, when I was in a D&D campaign as a D&D character (a Human Fighter, specifically) and played them as a superhero (took the folk hero background, played the leader of a rebel village of nomadic refugees, fought with no weapons, using a luchadore style masked vigilante hero identity). 

Yeah, the Tick is actually a great example. Code of the Hero would mean that, like the Tick, you assume that authority figures are likely to be good guys, but you don't then have to automatically obey every authority you meet, especially not if you think you're doing something more important than the law currently requires of you (you wouldn't allow yourself to be arrested, if that meant that the villain is able to carry out an evil scheme right now, on the other side of the city, for example).

I would see this less as a dictate on what you do and don't do, but more as a simple fact about you. This is the ideal Distinctive Features description for any setting with a "Hell" that some beings are native to. This is basically just a sign that while you may never do anything immoral (and therefore evil), you still set off any demon detectors around you, glow red instead of blue when angel/demon vision is used on you, and so on and so on, because you are Evil (but in the setting specific, allied with hell variety) even if you save the world every day and heal sick puppies every night. 
 
Mortals who care about morality and kind deeds will want to know more about you, but Angels who will serve certain gods, clerics and paladins who have bought into those Gods and all of their "divine word", and even some of the mortals who simply don't know better than to judge you based on shiny magic spells that say "this is a thing of pure evil, kill it now", will all murder your current form on sight, but other demons and hell-oath mortal mages will not necessarily ally with you, because they know that simply being aligned with "Evil" together does not mean that you two have the same goals or moral codes. Hence why it is a disadvantage.

Yeah, Tenet seems to have been almost intentionally full of loud background noise over a lot of inaudible dialogue, so that the audience would ignore the vague, poorly explained scifi elements, in favour of just enjoying how the big, dumb, explosive action was made to work backwards and forwards. It was a sort of showcase for a few action set pieces with a cool gimmick, rather than any of Nolan's usual, plot-driven, playing with a timeline films, like the reverse story order (Memento) or the different rates that time flows in different dream levels (Inception).
