    The Arc got a reaction from Hermit in Create a Hero Theme Team!   
    Re: Create a Hero Theme Team!
     
    "But Mom," Meg groaned in her best put upon teenage voice, "I don't want to go to the family reunion. It's so Boooring!! All we do is stand around with a bunch of people we never hear from."
     
    "Megan Ophelia Harding," Mom came back in that voice that sounded like I was stepping on her last nerve or something. "You will mind your manners and be on your best behavior and the reunion. Now get your brother Karl together. It's a three hour drive to the lake, don'tcha know, and Daddy wants to get a jump on the traffic."
     
    I only had one chance of escape left as I frantically looked around the kitchen. Karl, of course just sat in his high chair and burbled at me. Cute kid, but I wasn't having any of it. Flora and I were supposed to go to the mall today. Okay, sure, we go to the mall almost every day, but I really ddin't care. This was my free time we're talking about.
     
    "Daddy?" I called out in desperation.
     
    "Mind your Mother," a reply came from the living followed by the front door slamming shut.
     
    With sullen eyes I turned to look at Mom and had to groan inside. She had that look on her face. Yeah, you know the one. Sighing my best sigh I picked on the drooling machine and headed for the Explorer.
     
    You know a three hour drive can be almost like forever. Karl sat in his car seat making bubbles with his drool while Daddy drove like a man possessed. As for me, thank God I had my Ipod and my tunes. Sixteen towns, countless cows that Karl got so excited about seeing, and only one potty break, thank you Daddy so much, we were at the lake. A huge banner proclaimed "Harding Family Reunion."
     
    I slammed the door to the Explorer and stalking towards the lake furious that they made me come. I saw Grandpa H. sitting by himself in his chair, but I ignored him. Senioritlity, don'tcha know. I picked up a few rocked and skipped them across the still waters.
     
    "Hey you're pretty good at that," a male voice came from behind me. I casually looked over my shoulder to see a boy about my age with a wide grin on his face.
     
    "Thanks," I said, "I was thinking about trying out for it in the Olympics."
     
    We both had a laugh over my joke.
     
    "I'm Myles Harding," he said offering a hand, which I shook.
     
    "I guess we're cousins." I said lamely.
     
    Again came the laugh.
     
    "Want to get something to eat?" Myles asked. "Seeing how much food our mothers brought it would be a shame if we didn't eat some of it."
     
    I eyed Myles before shouting, "I'll race you!"
     
    I sprinted towards the picnic tables with Myles hot on my feet. However, we didn't get far. There was this streak of light over the park followed by an explosion on the lake. Myles and I were thrown to the ground. I thought I heard a dog barking or wimping nearby. And then we were soaked to skin as a tsunami of lake water rolled over us like a drunk in a mosh pit. I gagged on the foul tasting water.
     
    My clothes were ruined. I got to my feet suprised I wasn't hurt in anyway.
     
    "Myles!" I shouted seeing that he was still on the ground, looking out of it. In a blink I was next to him checking for a pulse. Oh no, Myles wasn't breathing. Immediately I bent over giving him mouth-to-mouth. It wasn't until later that I thought how weird it was. However, it only took one breathe to revive him.
     
    I leapted into the air in joy at saving him. The people in the plane looked almost as surprised as I was as I flew by their windows. Without thinking I waved at them and a few of them waved back. Scared out of my mind, but excited all the same I flew back to park.
     
    I felt so powerful. On impulse I want to the lake and picked up a boulder and skipped it across the water.
     
    "Myles" I said turning to look for my cousin. "Did you see that? Did you?"
     
    However, Myles wasn't there anymore. I later learned that he had ran over three states away before coming to a stop.
     
    My life has changed since that day at the lake. Several members of the Harding family have gained superpowers from getting drenched. My friends are so jealous. I even got a super hero costume that makes me look, oh so mature, and the coolest code name ever. People call me Omega, can you believe it. Maybe going to that lame family reunion wasn't so bad after all.

    Techamachus MNF (Mobile Nano-Fac) Unit
    The latest innovation to emerge from the laboratories of Lord Dark Matter's brilliant yet twisted cyborg genius,
    the Mobile Nano-Fac Unit is a compact and complete manufacturing and repair facility mounted on a tracked
    mobility chassis, enabling it to traverse nearly any terrain within limits ( mountainous, rugged terrain and under-
    water environments are thus far the only exceptions). A medium-range sensor located underneath the main
    body just above the forward treads provides advance warning of hazards in the MNF Unit's path, such as thin
    layers of rocky crust concealing hollow spaces that could break under the unit's weight.
     
    The MNF Unit is protected by light yet strong armor, which is capable of withstanding hits from such Earthly
    weapons as .50-caliber machine guns and LAAW rockets; a pair of shield generators within the main body
    provides additional protection from energy-based weaponry.
     
    The MNF Unit can be operated by one of two means: either by a "plug-in" computer module with limited A.I. cap-
    ability (which can both 'drive' the unit as well as operate the nano-fac systems), or by Techamachus himself.
     
    The MNF Unit makes use of both nanotech assemblers and disassemblers to both repair damaged LoI weapons,
    as well as to break down and analyze any technological devices or weapons which come into the Legion's possess-
    ion; the unit can also manufacture any device or weapon used by the Legion, due to the extensive on-board data-
    base stored in the unit. A towed trailer module carries a supply of the components necessary to build said devices
    and weapons; as for any raw materials that may be needed by the MNF Unit, such materials are stockpiled as part
    of the supplies of any LoI base or outpost.
     
    As far as is known, only a dozen of these units are in existence, and  are typically assigned to very important missions
    by Lord Dark Matter himself.

    Spartana
    The Immortal -- and his minions -- had no sooner started to attack Thermopylae and the tourists gathered there when
    there was a sudden, lightning-like flash of light which momentarily blinded everyone there, terrorists and intended vic-
    tims alike. When everyone could see again, there -- standing between the terrorists and their would-be victims -- was a
    young  woman wearing armor reminiscient of that once worn by ancient Greek warriors, and wielding a sword as well.
    Identifying herself as Spartana, the armored woman called upon the terrorists to either surrender or suffer the conse-
    uences. The Immortal's minions -- all twelve of them -- only laughed and prepared to resume their attack. What happened
    next was later described by witnesses as "like something from out of the 300 movies", as Spartana used her superior
    strength, speed, and fighting skills to either cripple or kill all twelve heavily-armed men in less than three minutes,
    before going blade-to-blade with the Immortal himself.
     
    Their fight, which lasted for several minutes during which time Spartana inflicted several wounds upon her enemy while
    avoiding injury herself, came to an end when Greek police and antiterrorist personnel arrived on the scene in response
    to the Immortal's attack. Recognizing that his attack had failed, and that he was now outnumbered, the Immortal fled
    the scene -- but not before swearing vengeance upon Spartana, and promising her that they would meet again one day.
