Well, the Greek and Roman gods may not have followers, but they do have fans. Maybe Herakles would show up as Hercules, and resemble either Kevin Sorbo or Dwayne Johnson, or even the Disney animated version. Aphrodite would show up as Venus, and resemble perhaps Marilyn Monroe or Jayne Mansfield. Their powers might be somewhat diminished because no one really believes in them, but they'd still be capable of some of their former feats of glory. Hope that helps.

Here's a Supermobile concept inspired by the Batman V. Superman movie-- And in this World's Finest story Superman loses his powers so Batman fixes him up with his own Supermobile--just a car with an "S" emblem, not the later Supermobile which duplicates his powers. Hope that helps.

Dad Selling His Comic Collection To Fund His Daughter's College Education I don't know how much money he'll get for what he's got, but it's still a nifty thing to do.

"John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, says it’s time for the U.S. government to release any evidence it has about the existence of alien forms of life in outer space." The Article At USA Today Soooo--does anyone think this could snag Clinton a few more votes?

Myself, I was thinking two words--Kaiju Boars. Maybe not in this generation, but several generations down the line. . .

It could be. I had heard this was an attempt by Sanders to court Latino voters.

Never Underestimate The Force More cuteness here

An early rendition of The Human Torch Could they have made him more creepy? I don't think so. . .

Does that come with a small bottle of Listerine?

Periods For Pence

While I was hoping that Annette O'Toole would show up in this series, I was also hoping that she would have a role that didn't involve dimensional travel for her to make an appearance. I was thinking she could have been someone from Cat's past--or possibly even Lana Lang. (Hey, I liked her as Lana Lang--and just about every other role she's played.) The same goes for Allison Mack. Can't Earth-Supergirl have its own Chloe Sullivan? I think it could. I wouldn't mind if Carrie Fisher turned up on Supergirl, either. Her appearance as Pauline Kahn was one of Smallville's best moments, and I hope she could bring some of that magic to Supergirl--perhaps as Cat's old journalism professor, or something like that.

Here's an idea for your claw/blade guy--Swordfight. Start with El Muerto Obscuro then change his ninja costume to a skintight ninja costume with bare arms. He has two swords which he dual-wields; both with Armor Piercing, and he has--at the very least--a dozen skill levels so he can do things like slice off women's clothes without drawing a drop of blood He should also have Leaping so he jump right into the midst of the enemy mooks and slice through them like fruit in a blender set to "Liquefy." For the scantily clad female with porn star proportions, let me suggest Glory Start with Mind Slayer (CKC, pg. 97), give her some Martial Arts manuevers, at least three levels in Striking Appearance, and increase her Seduction roll. Change her Complications so that she's constantly flirting with every man she meets, especially her teammates--this is because she was part of a superhuman genetics program that intended that its subjects would mate with each other and produce an entire generation of superbeings. The program was broken up by the authorities--at least as far as everyone knows. Hope that helps.

If you have Enemies of San Angelo, the characters Salvo (mercenary with an energy rifle, pg. 82) and Eradicator (cyborg with a sonic energy weapon built into his arm, pg. 45) would make good Nineties-esque anti-heroes. I would bump up Salvo to SPD 5 and give him an energy pistol or two for backup weapons. Of Course, if you're looking for a walking arsenal, there's the CU's version of the Punisher, Thunderbird (CKC, pg. 207). You would need to play with his Psych Lims so he isn't a danger to any superpowered teammates, but as far as powers and skills, he's good to go. Except for the name--I'd call him Commando X. Then there's Lazer (CKC, pg. 166) who is perhaps the closest the CU has to Boba Fett. Change his name to Hunter-Killer ("Wait--he's one of the heroes?") change his Psych Lims so he's not so greedy, and you're all set. You'll need a strongman--start with Ogre (CKC, pg. 187) bump his INT to 15 ("Ya think 'cause I'm big I gotta be dumb?") then describe him as being twelve feet tall and goes around with a big, satisfied smirk all the time. Call him--Crush. You'll also need a super-archer. Start with Warpath (CKC, pg 47) change gender from female to male, change the Psych Lims so he's a super-patriot, and call him Straight Arrow. Or Volley Fire. Whichever you prefer. There is a female member of the team--Electrica, who can transform into a human-shaped lightning bolt. She can fly, shoot electric blasts, and is intangible--but mostly she's an excuse for the artist to draw a nude female figure without getting in trouble. Then there's the obligatory government liaison--some man or woman in a trenchcoat and dark glasses whose job is to stand in the background and snarl at them whenever they go too far. Which they always do. I hope that's what you're looking for.

The Specialists This might prove useful, if you weren't aware of it already.

Happy Easter Everyone!

I'm glad they had the two heroes hit it off so well. I especially like the look they came up with for Silver Banshee--very faithful to the comic version from what I could tell. (Although I do wish Supergirl would get her own villains, instead of borrowing from Superman's rogues gallery all the time.) Still, looks like a great episode. I look forward to it.

I believe he's referring to Skye, aka Daisy, who started out as a Hollywood hacker and became endowed with super-vibratory powers. For what it's worth, I still like the series, and I'm wondering how the Civil War movie is going to affect it, and whether they'll deal with that in part at the end of this season, or wait for the next season.

I did like the flashbacks in the most recent episode--it explained a great deal about Kara's early history on Earth, and why she chose to hide her powers and wear glasses. And as someone who remembers when Lucy Lane was a flight attendant, I found it nifty to see her back in uniform, albeit a very different sort of one.

Does he have to be spider-themed? I had the idea of a character with a raccoon motif called The Rascal. He has super strength, can cling to walls like a raccoon clings to trees, and can see in the dark. Instead of webbing he has smoke, flashbang and capturefoam bombs that he can either throw by hand or fire by slingshot--I haven't decided which. Hope that helps.

The Tragedy Of Darryl Hunt After being incarcerated for nearly two decades, Hunt spent the rest of his life helping others who were wrongly accused. Unfortunately the stress brought on by his cancer, coupled with the torments of his incarceration, brought him to an early end.

Quite frankly, I like the look on the right better. Why do people have such a problem with the trunks, anyway?

I don't have that much of a problem with it, myself. It's not unlike the saying in sports--"You're only as good as your last game," It doesn't matter if you won the championship the past three seasons running--open the next season with a three-game losing streak and the fans--many of whom don't have one-tenth the athletic talent and not one-hundredth the discipline to develop that talent--start calling for your head. It's not fair, and its not right--but it happens. With superheroes, the stakes are much greater than personal, civic or national pride. There are lives on the line, and if they fail, the city--if not the world--burns. That's what comes with possessing great power and using it for the greater good--people expect you to get it right all the time. And if you don't? Well, we saw what happened last night, didn't we? Supergirl has a hard time ahead of her. Apologies won't be enough; explanations won't be enough. She'll have to keep on doing good deeds, and keep on winning. Every time. Eventually, she'll be accepted again--after all, people finally accepted Spider-Man, even though J. Jonah Jameson kept portraying him as a menace. (At least that's how it went in the first three movies--I haev not been following the comics lately.) That would have been the way to go--except he was already on the scene, and there were too many witnesses. He should have done that at DEO headquarters--preferably away from the prying eyes of that one senator.
