Nothing defines a team better than how well they handle a loss. At least, that's what I'm told.
(This was played as part of the Zodiac Conspiracy)
Superbowl Sunday! Our Heros have 50yd line seats (in civilian ID) when Mechanon comes streaking across the sky, bent on a course of destruction. My character, Cosmic Man, after finding a place to change, takes to the sky to battle the metal menace.
"Face the power of my photon blast!" I shout as I reconfigure my (not quite cosmic) power pool to give the aforementioned blast. 6-6-6 is the skill roll and *BOOM*, down plummets Cosmic Man, a victim of his barely controlled energy.
Right in front of the Super Bowl crowd... at halftime...
And then it gets worse.
The rest of the team held off Mechanon long enough for Cosmic Man to wake back up (and get his Photon Blast working), and take the metal menace down. That's when several members of the Zodiac show up.
Cosmic Man gets the old move-through from Aries, and spends the rest of the fight imprinted in a cement wall. The Mad Basher got driven into the ground like a nail. And our Green Lantern wannabe got left with the wonderful Mind Control command of "Macarena".
At least we didn't get dressed as mimes.
Needless to say, when we did get our revenge, it was SWEET!
