Trained Chicken

I'd like to build a character who has two heads, but is otherwise anatomically similar to a normal human (eg same size, two arms, two legs, etc). Since this would be his or her main "power", it can be quite expensive if you so choose. I'd also like to achieve maximum utility from it. I was thinking about some sort of full-feedback Duplication with appropriate limitations. What say you all?

Re: Sight supress Seems to fit a very special sort of Flash. Something to add to the "unusual powers I'll never use but really admire" file.

Re: A New Use For Hardened That's a great idea. Probably a little too weak too, since increased STUN multiplier is so uncommon. But in addition to it's other uses, a perfect addend to Hardened.

Re: Silver Age Villains? From the first few issues of Daredevil: Local crime boss and his thugs Electro Stilt-Man Purple Man The Plunderer (European aristocrat with a big ray gun) The Masked Marauder- criminal "mastermind" with an NND+Flash in his helmet The Gladiator- basically a third-rate hand-to-hand version of Iron Man

Re: Cosmic Threats It's tough to tell in DC, even more than Marvel, since they keep rebooting every 8 years or so.

Re: Cosmic Threats I'm pretty sure Batroc should be on the list somewhere.

Re: George Perez & Champions Saggy man-boobs and swords the size of battleships.... nope. Not working for me mental-image wise.

Re: George Perez & Champions During the beginning of Avengers Reborn, 1998 or so, I was in the FLCS, and I heard one youngster say to the other somethign about this new guy George Perez becoming the next Todd McFarlane... I nearly fell off the floor. Kids!

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Try DDO- neat engine, should get good sometime soon. Release date sometime in early March.

Re: Brain Hemorages This strikes me as a straight killing attack- those with super-armor should also have super-armored brains or some similar defense.

Re: Fleeing the Supers-Hunters hehe.... Tonight on Champions: If Pol Pot Ruled the Earth!!!

Re: Lex Luthor's armor As long as they don't delve into a lot of the inconsistencies between dimensions, I don't see what's wrong with having a number of viable Earths. I mean... as long as the adventures in one don't appear as comic books in another, or whatever. After all, I'll buy anything with Captain Carrot or 'Mazing Man in it.

Re: Best Books of the Silver Age The essential Daredevil Vol 1. Not in color, but still awesome. Also, check out the Mystery Men comic books (especially the Flaming Carrot) by Bob Burden. Although by today's standards it's delightfully deranged fun, it fits perfectly with silver age sensibilities.

Re: Creating the Silver Age Team I love this idea. Making a Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman homage in one!~

Re: Creating the Silver Age Team And don't forget Jack Kirby's The New Gods... wonderful stuff there melding science with a pantheon of gods. And the Eternals from Marvel, which is something similar.

Re: Creating the Silver Age Team I think you did a god job of covering some major archetypes. I love the name Doctor Atom- very Silver Agey, and not that bad for modern day either. Athena needs a new name. Perhaps think outside of the warrior box. Moondragon, Medusa, Dream Girl, lots of sort of interesting names out there for powerful women. Also, in the late 50's and early 60's, it was not generally accepted than female super-heroes were as good as the men. Giving your super-woman a "weaker" name would be OK genre-wise (without of course dampening her power level). Big Bang Comics used Thunder Girl in the 60's, and prior to that, Venus the Goddess of Love and Laughter as their main female characters. Both were nearly as powerful as Ultiman, their big gun, but were considered "softer" by writers and fans alike due to their femininity. (And yes, I know Big Bang never actually pubished in the 50's and 60s... but they've got a fine homage universe that I love to mine for new material for older genres.)

Re: Is Crimefighting Ethical? Kind of reminds me why I think Superman would have a stone-cold-lead-pipe-lock of a secret ID- nobody would think that someone with his kind of powers and responsibilities would take time out to pretend to be a normal schlub for some of the time.

Re: Is Crimefighting Ethical? Y'all thinking too hard. You fight crime so you can fight crime. You wear a costume because it's cool. Keep a secret ID or don't, there's drawbacks either way. Besides, morality is so stony-solid in the kinds of comics that spawn superheroes in longjohns with secret IDs, compared to the rich tonality in real life. Of course you couldn't maintain a secret ID for a long time in real life, it'd require you to lie to everyone you know about the very core of your being, all the time. But in comic books, you get to look cool, punch out the bad guy, save the day, and get the girl. What's not to like about that? It's not only ethical, it's cool. And that's what superheroes is. Not realistic, not ethical or not, just cool.
