It's a Miniseries in which auditions were being held for five spots of a new superteam WildGuard. You're supposed to vote in which hero goes in the five spots for the team at http://www.wildguard.com. It's sort of a comic version of American Idol but with superheroes.

It's Called WILDGUARD:CASTING CALL it's created by Todd Nuack of "Young Justice " Fame. distributed by Image Comics. I should know I've got the first three issues.

Ye Gods! Can't we get back on the subject people? What about alien races? or super devices? or how about the infamous 'unstable molecues' for the supersuits? How are they supposed to explain them? Simple Answer: They Can't or Won't!

Yes a show about five kids exhibiting mental superpowers. Yeah that qualifies way up there with another Nick tv series called "Animorphs" the seires was based on a book series that recently ended on a high note and left me with a lot of questions. Oh yes, don't forget the live action version of the TICK.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You may have hit the nails on the head with this book. there was one thing worng with it: IT DID"NT COVER THE WOMEN HEROES!!! Let's face it they did not have room for superheroines like Wonder Women,Batgirl,Catwoman and countless others. They also didn't cover DareDevil,Captain America,The Human Fly, or DarkHawk for that matter. And they should at least try to explain the conditions of cosmic rays to us in terms of what happened to the Fantastic Four. What do you think? I like to know what's your opinion?

I've just checked out a book called THE SCIENCE OF SUPERHEROES It's got a lot of scientific explanations about how superpowered origins might [or might not ]work in the real world. it disects origins of all your fave comic heroes such as SpiderMan, Batman,The Hulk,The Flash,the Atom. Yes they even disected Carl Barks' Duck universe[Donald Duck,Uncle Scrooge,etc]. While I applaud thier efforts to break down the comic book universe, They've not given me any evidence of what their science says about superpowers or the evidence of comic book science and devices in that universe. If by any chance you see this book in a bookstore or a library,check it out, it might give you a laugh or couple of groans.

actually in my campaign she actually have a aprentice,a magic girl type by the name of Dreamstar. How they both got together? by the reccomendation of an older member of the Trimegistus Council, Anegla Warrick,who took the girl in after she was awakened from her coma. As for her origin story I'll post it here in the thread if you'll ask nicely.

Try Cardinal,it might have a good tone to it imagine:NIGHT HAWK AND CARDINAL,the Boy[Girl]Sensation!

Wrong answer! Not really, the show premered in '76 as part of the SHAZAM/ISIS HOUR on CBS on Saturday mornings. She later debut in aeight issue DC series and later returned [in animated form] as one of the FREEDOM FORCE on Tarzan and the SUPER 7.

Ahh excuse me? Am I hearing this right? J Edgar Hoover as The Sheild? UNTRUE!! The original Shield is Joe Higgins whose father was working on a formula when he was killed by enemy agents. He went after them when he learned of their identity and got beaten up and left for dead at another explosion site. Barely alive he crawled back to his lab and rubs the formula[whic BTW he completed with the help of his father's notes] into his body donning a special suit and injecting himself with fluroscopic rays for 12 hrs. He gains super strength, can leap incredible distances,and can withstan bullets and temperature up to 2000 degrees Farenheit. With an patriotic themed suit of armor he becomes the Shield his identity known only to J Edgar Hoover and longtime friend Henry Boyle ,joining the FBI as it's top agent. His career lasted through WWII even when he loses his powers in 1942 and his armor became his sole source of strength. He gets turned to iron while battling the Eraser and remained in suspended animation for 3 decades until he was revived by the Comet. During those 30 years his son Bill took over as the Shield using a spare costume of his father's and relying on his own brawn and the suits resistance to bullets and fire. publicly he seems to be the ideal hero image, but his private life's a total mess. He went into the Air Force when his father was revived years later.

Actually Captian Nice created a super formula which when drunk creates an explosion but gives him superpowers. Such as flight,invulnerability[he can crash through walls,more specifcally of the wrong building] superstrength[ crushes bullets into lumps and beans the wrong person with said lump] for all his bumbling he's forgiven because he comes through to save the day. Usually before he drinks the potion he's relunctant to do so until his mom encourages him to do it. The Series[which btw lasted only two seasons] starred William Daniels[of Knight Rider and Boy Meets World]. :cool:

[Do any of the Japanese heroes count - Ultraman, Space Giants, and Spectreman were standard tv fare of my youth. . [/b] Try these for size: Supergiant[starman] from the 60's space movies now out on DVD. Ultraman TIGA formerely of Fox Kids now in comics.

For some reason, I don't remember Captain Nice. I've heard the powers and origin were simular to Mr. Terriffic, but it could be I never watched it. I believe 13 episodes of each were made.

BTW you can get the data on any flagsuited hero in the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUPERHEROES By Jeff Rovin. Your best bet is to find it in the Library because it's out of print and very hard to find. Good Luck[you'll need it

you and me both bro,you and me both!

Re: Hero from the original Champions cover I would call him Magnoman, but his insignia reminds me of Icestar so it would be a early version of our fave ice slinging hero.

It's "The Secret World Of Alex Mack" Amigo, made it's debut waaaay back in the late 80's early 90's don't forget : The Journey of Allan Strange Team Knight Rider Animorphs The "Attack of the Mutant"episode from GOOSEBUMPS.

yikes! I almost forgot! The Nightman the Beastmaster

[with enhanced senses?} here's Some you might not remember, Captain Scarlet of S.P.E.C.T.R.U.M.[Captain Scarlet and the Mysterians] Ace Venture[The Magician] Princess Tenko[Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic] Tony Blake[The Magician]

BTW sometimes when a campaign recruitment reaches a certain number in the portal, it becomes a "lurkable world" that's why you didn't see it. but I've corrected that oversight and both worlds are accepting players and lurkers.

In that order-- In that order: No and NO! as I said my campiagn is based on the campaign being played out in Yahoo groups.

register as a citizen first,then you'll see the list. scroll down the list until you see "available Worlds" "NEW! Champions" should be the third on that list.

A New idea: WWII LXG How about setting an LXG rpg during the WWII with the Following characters: INDIANA JONES:adventurer and archeologist FRANK & JOE HARDY:young soldiers and amatuer detectives NANCY DREW:detective and socialite CLARK SAVAGE JR.:man of bronze and Ms Drew's mentor RICHARD WENTWORTH:The Spider and sponser to one: PFC TOM SWIFT JR.:Inventor and adventurer JEFFREY KING AKA ROCKETMAN:inventor and patriot LT TRIXIE BELDIN: student to millionare philantrophist LAMONT CRANSTON AKA "THE SHADOW":pulp hero LT GEORGIA FAYNE:best friend to Nancy Drew any one of these literaly 'heroes' [with the exception of DR JONES} can be inserted into the LXG campaign.

Enough awready! YE GODS! enough with the whinin' awready! just buy the blinkin' things and be done with ye!
