The Paragon: The Flash, Barry Allen, of whom Batman once said, "Barry is the kind of man that I would've hoped to become if my parents had not been murdered."
 
 

Yes, and it also is the D&D club.  Dopeheads and Dweebs.

Howdy!  C'mon over for a beer.

Holy forced spontaneity!  It's the Impromptu Superdraft II!
 
What: This is a supers draft. You'll be making one selection each weekday, starting tomorrow (Monday, March 4th) and running until Friday, March 15th. All selections are exclusive. 
 
Who: All the usual rules about different versions of the same character apply. In short, different characters with the same name are fine; different versions of the same character are out. (For example, if Ant-Man Hank Pym is drafted, you could still draft Ant-Man Scott Lang, but not Yellowjacket Hank Pym.)
 
When: You will make a pick each weekday, starting tomorrow, at noon Eastern Time. No, I don't know what time that is where you live. Google probably does. We will draft over the weekend. A poll will be posted on or around March 22nd; you are encouraged to use the intervening week to finish up picks, post fiction, etc.
NOTE: The United States moves to Daylight Savings Time on Sunday morning, March 10th. That means we set our clocks forward one hour. This will adjust when you get to draft halfway through. Sorry, not my idea.  
How: Each day you will make a selection (usually a character) to fit a certain archetype or role. Everyone will select the same type each day...but you won't know what that type is until a couple of hours before it's time to make the pick. The description of who or what you're choosing each day will be revealed no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the day in question. Picks that do not fit the daily theme will be disqualified. I will act as final arbiter of whether or not a pick fits the daily theme, but I am open to reasonable persuasion.
 
Why: Because we haven't done a Superdraft yet this year. Why not start this way?
 
I think that pretty well covers it. If you have questions along the way, feel free to ask. In keeping with long established tradition, your first pick (i.e., Monday's pick) is the location for your story. The theme for Tuesday's pick will be revealed Tuesday morning.
 
Enjoy, everyone!
 
 

SO, a location today, but no theme until Tomorrow
If I were a wise man, I would try to hold out until tomorrow for location as well, and thus be better braced for whatever theme comes!
 
But today, Wisdom is my proverbial dump stat!
 
Not knowing WHAT the hell is going on, I choose...The Windy City, Chi-Town itself, the City of Big Shoulders, aka Chicago, Illinois!
 
Location: Chicago

Hm.  It seems you can start a business ostensibly for "Biohazard cleanup" but not simply for "Biohazard".  How limiting.
 
EDIT: Similarly, you can have "Cosmetologist" but not "Cosmologist".
and "Debris Cleanup" but not "Debris Creation".
Not simply "Demolition".
You can have "Dog Food", but that probably is manufacturing or selling that, not being it.
You can have "Emu Raising" but not "Emo Raising".
"Escort Service" and "Exotic Dancer" are explicitly permitted.
Woo!  "Explosives User (Blaster)" is allowed!
"Liquidation" probably does not mean turning your enemies into a slurry.
"Mad Bomber" and "Mad Scientist" are not on the allowed list.
"Magician" is allowed, but "Mercenary" is not.  "Motor Vehicle Wrecker" is allowed.  "Necromancer" is nowhere to be found.
"Neighborhood Watch" is there but not "Neighborhood Witch".
Nothing starting with "Nuclear" is on the allowed list.
"Peep Show" is allowed, as is "Pest Inspector".  I wonder what the overlap is among those.
"Physicist" is not on the allowed list, but "Astronomer" is.  Fascinating.
You cannot have "Arsonist", but I suppose "Pyrotechnics Operator" (which is allowed) is an appropriate stand-in for that.
"Shatterer of Worlds" is not allowed.
I wonder what "Social Worker, Uncertified" is supposed to be.
Huh.  Had no idea there was enough demand for them to list "Tank Renovating".
"Telegram Stripper" is on the allowed list.
No "Torturemaster".
No "Wizard", but maybe they throw those in with "Magician".
 
 
 
 

Primordial Soup rounds out the trilogy.

Meh, I've had that cookbook for decades.

Late this day (Leap Day) in 1992, my wife proposed to me.
 
My response was to get up, go to my dresser drawer, and hand it to her: I had already bought the ring.
 
(In what women have always derided as a Dumb Guy Thing, I was waiting to ensure that I'd have funding -- i.e., a job -- for the next academic year.)

I knew there were reasons I liked crocodiles.
