  1. I would watch the original cartoon series on occasion--Team Rocket were perhaps the most hilariously incapable villains since Boris and Natasha.
  2. Amazing Heroes Wave 2 There may be three modern-age heroes in this wave, but the rest are pure Golden Age.
  3. Trump Strongly Considering Retired US General For Running Mate
  4. In the immortal words of Jeremy Clarkson--"What could possibly go wrong?"
  5. Begging your pardon Tasha, but Southern Knights is already taken--and I, for one, would prefer it remain taken. Here's an idea I had for a CSA-themed super--Swift Sword, who wears a tabard patterned after the Confederate Battle Flag over medieval-style armor (which may or may not be high-tech). He carries a sword that discharges lightning upon command ("Try, if you dare, the lightning of this swift sword!") and can cut through nearly anything--although he makes a point of not killing his enemies unless he absolutely has no choice. After all, the first time someone gets killed, public sympathy for their cause goes out the door. Hope that helps.
  6. Mississippi Ban On Adoption By Same Sex Couples Struck Down
  7. Fast And The Furious: The Next Generation
  8. Impressive--but I wonder how many calls to 911 this display generated. Not to mention how many fender-benders. https://www.facebook.com/TheVomitorium/videos/1071097756315247/
  9. Presenting--Jon Juan, The Immortal Superlover! Created in 1950 by Jerry "Superman" Siegel--who must have seen Errol Flynn's "The Adventures Of Don Juan" several times, at least--Jon Juan is a scion of Atlantis, who while being pursued by a horde of jealous Atlantean men, gets frozen in ice and exposed to a rare "sea-weed" granting him immortality. He becomes the greatest lover of all time, romancing women everywhere, leaving an adoring string of conquests in his wake. Whatta guy! I'm thinking at least three levels of Striking Appearance, a PRE of 30, a Seduction Roll of 25-, and a player with no shame whatsoever. Any other thoughts?
  10. Women To Take On Men In Medieval Jousts At English Heritage Sites
  11. What are the odds? Delta Airlines Passenger Gets 160-Seat Aircraft To Himself
  12. There were as many science-based origins and powers in the Golden Age as there were magic-based. My avatar, The American Crusader received his powers by being exposed to the energies of an atom smasher. Jay Garrick, The Golden Age Flash, became The Fastest Man Alive after prolonged exposure to the fumes of "hard water." (I didn't say it was good science.) Then there's the man himself--the one with the big red cape and the big red "S." A strange visitor from another world--doesn't get much more science-oriented that that. Hope that helps.
  13. Well--apart from Ralph Hinkley, no one wants their heroes to be incompetent. (And I was not a fan of Ralph Hinkley.)
  14. George Will Leaves GOP Over Trump, Changes Voter Registration To "Unaffiliated"
  15. Great Scott! You're right! I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!
  16. It is my understanding that some Scots are flying Mexican flags to annoy him. That's a start. You could always offer him Euros as a donation to his campaign, seeing as you won't be needing them anymore. Or maybe a couple of farthings. You still use those coins, right? Anyway, every little bit helps. You could also play bagpipes wherever he goes to drown him out. I saw a Facebook video where someone did that to some white supremacist jerk. Or you could point at him when he's looking at you, pretend to whisper something into a friend's ear, then giggle at him. That always drives people nuts. Hope that helps.
  17. I'd say this was the work of a supervillain--but which one? Texas Woman Claims Spiked Chick-fil-a Drink Caused Crime Spree
  18. Principal Powers Is Moving Up In The World
  19. I Was A Professional 911 Truther And I Gave It Up
  20. Live Tweeting From A June 14 Trump Rally In Greensboro
  21. All the more reason to do something like that. And I do think Routh is a good enough actor to pull it off.
  22. Not a problem. Glad to know we're on the same wavelength.
  23. Perhaps he could use his powers anonymously. Show up at a soup kitchen or a free clinic dressed as one of the locals, and just circulate among them, seeing who needs healing the most and providing it. Or slipping into a pediatric cancer ward at three in the morning and healing sick children while they sleep. He'd need Invisible Power Effects for this, but that's nothing a few unspent EPs can't fix. Also, check out Ellen Burstyn's movie Resurrection for another character dealing with healing abilities. Hope that helps.
  24. As I said before, I was hoping they'd cast Brandon Routh in the part, but this guy looks like he could work. Perhaps they could cast Routh as Batman, assuming they share the same universe--give the physical similarities between Superman and Batman, it's not that much of a stretch for me to imagine a Superman actor in the role of Batman. (That's how Ben Affleck got the role, doncha know. He played George Reeves, aka Superman, in Hollywoodland, and he did such a great job in the Superman suit that Snyder chose him to play Batman. It's a completely true story that I just made up. )
