    Re: Wow....that is a useless power for sure....

     

    How about:

    Infectious Lass:Power to make people sick

    Porcupine pete:Shoots quills in any direction[no aiming]

    color lad: power to change color on anything.

    Plant Lad: Power:growth[on plants only]

    That was the entire applicant line up from an early Adventure comics "Legion of Super Heroes" story. Plant lad made it into the Substitute Legion of Superheroes as Chlorophyl kid and the rest became the Substitute's Reserve I think.

    Clint Eastwood and the Smurfs collaborate on Paint my Smurf. A richly lit film filled with the wonderful music and great tunes. Papa Smurf singing "Wandering Star" deserved it's 'Gold' disc. Indeed it led directly to the papa Smurf vehicle "The Man with the Golden Smurf". A much under rated movie.

    If you have Foxbette with a rivalry, surely (stop calling me Shirley) Foxbat would also gain similar. After all, this is the only woman who REALLY understands him. And to have her being even slightly impressed by one of those muscle bound oiks like Golden Avenger would be... very bad.

    While I never saw the Coyote speak in any of the cartoons where his plans fell to pieces (He always held up a sign saying "Uh-Oh" or "Ouch!"), I presume he spoke while ordering his Acme kit. So make it a psycho limitation - "Cannot speak while in presence of road runners - Uncommon, total". rather than a physical limitation.

    Cranky?

    I'm currently living in a 20foot container remodelled as a bedroom with toilet & shower, in Siberia. We're 280kM from anything resembling a village in the middle of Taiga that, I think, first saw humans when our survey crew arrived. We get here by helicopter, stay for 2 weeks and then chopper out to where we can get a light aircraft to Tyumen and then a Tu154 to Moscow. We use the mobile satelite link to do all our work, communicate and stay in touch with families.

     

    Unfortunatley the water pump on our temporary well broke yesterday and my mechanical man won't be able to fix it till tomorrow when the supply chopper arrives. So showers, laundry etc, are not on our list of activities. We take water from the river, boil the heck out of it and drink that. We know we can drink it as it is, there's a village about 280kM down stream that does fine, but we can't take the 5 days of diarhea that would result as we change out stomach bacteria.

     

    So, cranky? I can do that!

    Back at Foxbette.

     

    Where are the dancing skills/knowledge? They have to stop and dance at some point in the combat / robbery / escape from justice. Preferably a tango, but a waltz would work.

     

     

    Golden Avenger lies trapped under a large cargo net, only able to move slightly. Foxbat hefts the duffel bag containing the $5 million in bearer bonds and smiles at his wife.

    FB - "Nice move, but that net isn't going to hold him for long darling..."

    Fb - "Long enough lover. I've brought music."

    FB - "Do you mean...?"

    Fb - "Yes! Shall we?"

    FB - "But of course!"

     

    Foxbat takes his wife in his arms. They strike the first pose and, as the music swells, begin the first steps of the Russian Tango.

     

    FB - "See ya' around big guy!"

    Fb ; "Bye! We must do this again some time!"

     

    And they dance away, while the Golden Avenger, held tightly by the cargo net that pins him down, just gazes in disbelief.

  25. Would you like your character?

    Re: Would you like your character?

     

    How would you deal with knowing his/her secret life as a hero if you found it out?
    I expected it all along. He's too physically fit and smart to explain his absences otherwise. All that "coming out" stuff was a waste of his time. I think that some of us in teh office have known about it for years, just never said anything. Honestly, he's 6' 4" and wieghs in at 150kg. There are not many of those people lying around.

     

    And fit? Don't tell me about that 'cold' he got last month when we had teh epidemic in teh office. Hah! I knew he was faking it. Where was the phlegm? The counghing fits that go on for minutes? An occassional "Achoo" doesn't work. It's not a sound you pronouce dammit!

     

    Still, now I understand why he's always looking out for me in the office. And how he always manages to jog my memory when I forget my wedding anniversary. He's a nice guy.
