Balabanto

The Boondocks (Saints)

The answer is simple. He needs scapegoats. All this takes is a clever guy with a video camera and the right guys on Youtube to give whatever screwups the PC's make 20000000 hits. It's not hard to do this. And if he makes the heroes look like the bad guys while the bad guys look like the good guys, it will be much harder for the heroes to win.

Night of the Living Leapus

What you probably want to do here is if you go this route, you buy the base vehicle as a vehicle. Then you give the vehicle a gadget pool that can only be changed in a garage to have multiple versions of itself.

Often, the villains were of mixed race, with names like Vijay Gunther Woo, Klaus Ito, and Ryan Nejev.

So after fifteen years, I finally ran a sequel to "Throwing Stars and Bars", in which the Yatsomoto Corporation schemed to bring Yatsomoto back to life by using DNA samples and a variant of the original ninja goo that turned helpless victims (homeless people) into DNA programmed ninjas. 

Unfortunately, Yatsomoto was the ninja of "The South Shall Rise Again." So his student, Mr. Shinji, who was running the corporation in his absence. was using the goo on people to see if it was powerful enough to ressurrect Yatsomoto. 

I now give you the list of agent level ninjas

Beauregard Yamasaki 

Hiroshi Cletus       

Enos Yojimbo 

Tanaka Wallace Sudbury III 

Lucius Hamato 

Okata Sundersby

Elijah Yamamoto 

Hibiki Jethro

Jesse Gozen 

Kojima Jackson 

Montgomery Kobiko 

Ozuna Graham 

Yatsomoto also had a pet alligator, who Mr. Shinji cloned multiple times, and then gave them advanced cybernetics. The cybernetics had fang injectors with the ninja goo, and one of the PC's got bitten TWICE.  

So at the end of the session, after the PC's decided it was okay for Yatsomoto to be ressurrected, (Not the greatest decision, but it does eliminate Mr. Shinji as a threat to the group...if only one of the PC's hadn't destroyed the sword of his ancestors in the goo....) here comes the quote of the week, as the PC was transformed.

"Goodbye Vassily Cerenko...hello Billy-Bob Kurosawa!"

Okay. Today we finished Laser Phantom's sheet. On to her background. 4 backgrounds, 3 sheets, and a couple of vehicles. We are closing in! What we are NOT closing in on is having art for all the characters. I won't have money until next month, and I can't start payments until then. After the sheets are done I have to begin mapwork, though it doesn't look like this will have as many maps as Journey did. 

If people want more vehicles, say so now. I can still add a couple to the list, it just means everything will take more time.

I've got a superheroine who wears a costume based on the Burkini. It's got the classic super costume stuff, except for not being skintight.

I played a female arabic superhero. She wore a Burqa. That's right. A full burqa. It conceals your face, she had desert/sand themed powers, and was comfortable when standing in a large cloud of sand. 

My Life with Master (Roshi)

Hmm, the Stargate movie except replace Ra with Mumm-Ra

This is the same movie.

Impro-Visor! 

Hayseed Overalls!

Hoggone Wild!

Pokemon is it's own genre, as is Balls of Fury.

I find artists that are industry recommended and pay them. I also use people I know. All of my maps get professionally redone by layout. Note: Art is expensive. I did not make my money back right away on Journey to the Center of the Earth, and I don't expect to make my money back right away on this one, either. 

World War Dragonball Z

In some episodes, which consist solely of powering up, there might not be much difference.

Okay, so Dr. Neopolis's Variable Power Pool is done. Four characters left, and a few vehicles. 

Is there anything else you guys want in this book?

Under the Rainbow Brite

Debbie Does Witch Mountain

Who's Afraid of the Brotherhood of Virginia Woolf?

This would have been more interesting than what they actually did.

Dr. Neopolis's background is finally complete. I wasn't sure if it was weird enough or strange enough, but it's on to his VPP.  Four sheets to go. Laser Phantom, Generic Agents, the Secret Master, and People's Dragon. (A late addition. A player asked me for a hunted, and it would be foolish not to include him)

Samurai Jumping Jack Flash

Hope Solo is the Goalie from UNCLE.

The Wild Wild Primeval Secret agents James West and Artamus Gordon hunt down time traveling dinosaurs

How is this a nightmare in ANY way?

At least he didn't buy taste.

Sometimes, change does happen. How hard did Ed Brubaker have to fight to bring back Bucky? And that worked.

 

How long did replacing Steve Rogers with Bucky (and then Sam Wilson) work?

 

When Kyle Baker replaced Hal Jordon, many long-time fans were disgusted. When Hal Jordan came back, many fans of Kyle Rayner were disgusted. Now, DC can have them each headline a book, and fans of one over the other buy one, while fans of both are buying two books a month. Still can't figure out why the replaced Alan Scott, though

 

The fact is that change is dangerous - it may attract a new fanbase, and it may alienate the old one. The smaller the existing fanbase* is, the lower the risk.

 

*NOTE: Not the ones online who love the character but have not bought comics for X years - the ones that are buying the comics today. It doesn't cost DC or Marvel any money to have someone who isn't buying Superman or Spiderman now, hasn't for the past 5 years and does not intend to in the future if that guy is alienated and bad mouths them online. If anything, that may be good publicity when someone who might be interested in the new version reads about it in some old dude's rant about "the good old days".

Alan Scott is still my favorite Green Lantern.
