The Army has the Gung-Ho Commandoes.  The Navy has the USS Battlewagon.

“Sometimes standing against evil is more important than defeating it. The greatest heroes stand because it is right to do so, not because they believe they will walk away with their lives. Such selfless courage is a victory in itself.”--N.D. Wilson

"But they ignored me, and of course, Dungeons & Dragons did not sell, and no one has ever heard of it."

I could see villains using another villain's plot--they might think, "This is what that other villain did wrong, but if I do it right--I WILL SUCCEED!  BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!"

For a beginning superhero, Spider-Man was quite capable.  In Amazing Spider-Man #5 (Vol. 1) he holds his own against Doctor Doom, who first attempts to recruit him for his war with the Fantastic Four.  Spidey refuses, and Doom declares him an enemy.  Later, Doom mistakes Flash Thompson for Spider-Man, and Spidey has to go rescue him.  There's no clear winner, but anybody that can hold their own against Doom has got some serious stuff as a superhero as far as I'm concerned.

Hottest female First Officer.  I think Janeway would concur that Chakotay was thoroughly hot.

(I'm secure enough in my masculinity to say that.  Ladies--doesn't that turn you on?)

According to DC Canon, Superman celebrates his birthday today--

The original Captain Marvel has his birthday today as well--

Perhaps we should look more closely at the activities of the Boebert crime family.

I had no idea this existed.  None.

Did you stick it to him?

Get it?  It was a stick!  So you did stick it to him!

That's funny, right?  Right?

I don't think Edgin is a bard in the sense of the D&D character class, though. He never casts any spells. He's more of a rogue who sings and plays the lute pretty well. But he swings a lute even better.

KA-BONNNGGG!!!

The 4th Edition Champions Adventure Day Of The Destroyer had a particularly grandiose--and horrifying scheme in which Doctor Destroyer announced that he would kill nine out of every ten people, stating that with the population much reduced, there would be less damage to the ecosystem and more resources available for the survivors.  Not unlike the first Kingsmen movie, in which Samuel Jackson's tech genius character wanted to use a mass mind control system to make everyone in the world beat each other to death, thus saving the planet from humanity, and the James Bond movie Moonraker, in which Hugo Drax would wipe out all humanity with some sort of biological agent, enabling him to repopulate Earth with his own race of genetically superior beings.

I've always figured that a mass human extinction scheme would bring much more harm to the ecosystem than help.  First, you have all those billions of corpses and no way to completely dispose of them--and as they decay they become incubators for disease organisms, which would spread unchecked through the surviving humans.  Second, there would be an explosion in the vermin population as all the rats, mice, insects and scavenger beasts would suddenly have an overabundant food supply--and as they fed, they would breed all out of proportion of their predators' abilities to keep them in check.  And once the supply of dead bodies is consumed, those vermin would then turn to the living to survive--and that includes surviving humans.

Hope that helps
