  1. T.A.S.K. (Technically Augmented Super Killer) is the latest in the long line of military programs for the purpose in creating super soldiers. This particular project involved the blending of cutting edge cybernetics and nanotechnology. Amy Matthews was a former US army paratrooper who was facing a court martial for abandoning her post and going AWOL during a surprise attack on the base she was stationed in Guam by mercenaries led by Micronesia's most dangerous supervillain (the only one actually) Doctor Atoll. She had agreed to participate in the experiment in return for a full pardon.

     

    Of course the army didn't mention that roughly 49% of her body would be totally replaced by cybernetic implants. Nor did they told her about the previous eighteen test subjects... Err... volunteers who died horribly when their bodies rejected said implants...

     

    The AI in the nanites reacted badly to some of the components as predicted by the scientists. However instead of killing her, Amy's DNA somehow bonded with the nanites, giving her super strength and shapeshifting abilities.

     

    Changing the last word of the project's acronym to Knight in a attempt to redeem herself, T.A.S.K. escaped from the laboratory and pursuing a life of doing good deeds...with the entire US Army on her tail.

  2. Everyone needs time off, even villains

    This must've been a deleted scene from The Dark Knight Rises where Bane and Scarecrow are lounging around the Olympic sized pool of Wayne manor while Batman was still at that underground prison.

  3. To most people he is Kyle Lamont, horoscope editor for the Daily Standard supermarket tabloid but when evil forces threatens his beloved city, Kyle becomes the super strong Aries the Ram who can psionically generate energized ram horns on his head capable of stopping a army tank in it's tracks.

  4. If it was visceral with bleeding body parts all over the place then the cybernetic speedster Goldrush would heave his guts out. If the body was like a store manikin which was, according to witnesses, talking and walking minutes before then he'll look into it.

     

    Shadowwraith and Lightweight would act the same way though it's a little out of Lightweight's league and Shadowwraith is semi retired. Doctor Synthos would try to find out the suspect's secret so he can augment his own molecular transformation powers.

  5. Case in point: In the Dragonlance series of books the Kingpriest of Istar declared all evil inclined thoughts to be punishable by death, so he sent mages to randomly scan the minds of citizens of the city and enact "justice" accordingly. One mage read the mind of a small boy being slapped by his mother for a misdeed and the boy's mind was filled with anger toward his mother. The mage was taken aback by this and was debating whether or not he should act on this but stopped when he reread the child's again. The incident was forgotten and the boy was filled with love of his mother who had stuck him mere minutes before.

     

    Now the previous thought was enough to warrant a death sentence for the boy and according to his ruler's laws, the boy should die... Yet the 'mind crime' was easily dismissed as the whims of the heart, something the Kingpriest will ignore anyway as the intent which existed at the time was more important than the end result.

     

    The mage made an instant choice: he fled the city of Istar as fast as he can before the end.
