Superlative Hero Perry Rhodan Superlative Villain Mechanon Support Positronic Brains Yes, I'm moving away from obscure, a little, but it's all tieing together so well!

Q: Who would have thought you could eat a dozen chimichangas in under five minutes? A: He flies with flatulence, has the weight and strength of four normal men, and has halitosis that overcomes any humanoid within five feet.

Superlative Hero Michael Mauser Superlative Villain The Saint of Killers Support The Time Machine I'm determined to avoid the snipe, because every time I went hunting him he avoided me.

Q: Did you hear what Alpha Centauri said about Pluto? A: I don't care what they said, Mickey's mutt stays off the bed or he's sleeping in the yard!

OK, then. Superlative Hero E-Man Superlative Villain Ra's Al Ghul Support Capsule Corporation

Unless the character has some specific movement ability (running, flying, whatever), every character I build gets a swingline. Why? Because every character I build gets a swingline. As a gm, I try so hard to shoehorn the PC's into a team with a pre-built generic base and communications system that I have broken MY OWN GAME by telling the players "you'll have to split up, three of you don't have clearance to enter the base." It's not my fault the dipsticks couldn't take a hint and drop the five freaking points for the team setup!

Ok, I admit to watching Ghosted. It was this season's People of Earth (which I'm still unhappy about).

I understand that 'Mace' has been used as branding to the point that most people do not understand what it is, but 'Mace' is not 'Chemical Mace'. The latter is the brand name of an early type of aerosol self-defense spray invented by Allan Lee Litman in 1965 which included phenacyl chloride (CN) tear gas dissolved in hydrocarbon solvents. Phenacyl chloride is NOT legal and can't be sold to civilians.

Journeyquest. I'm trying to catch up so I can watch the new episodes without constantly spluttering WTF.

Actually, I did mean one villain per movie. If there's more than one, it doubles the amount of time required to establish the antagonist and therefore reduces the number of explosions. Oh, and I kinda liked The Lone Ranger (yes, even Depp). Escapist is escapist, I don't require much from it.

I think I'll try this, mostly to see how obscure I can be. And never the mane shall tweet.

Himalayan griffin vulture bait. No, I don't know what you do with Himalayan griffon vultures.

Perhaps the 'one villain per movie' and 'always in costume' ideas are motivated by neither style nor tone, but by format. We're talking about movies, which are expected to stand alone. In other words, they make movies aiming at the 'lowest common denominator', essentially as if the audience has no memory. Every social or cultural assumption taken by a filmmaker is a risk; Hollywood hates risks, preferring to recycle what worked in the past rather than try something new. As the MCU has gained content, the risk associated with those assumptions has diminished. That's why the amount of context exposition has withered, and why the villain can be allowed to survive and inhabit multiple movies. This may also be what is driving the lack of 'secret identities'. Not because the characters have no civilian identities, but because those civilian identities aren't part of the story. Not using any scenes that focus on the heroes out of costume can save a lot of time, which can be exploited to expand the action. That's what the masses are going to see, anyway. Supposedly, movies only need to do three things to be hits: Defy authority Blow things up Remove clothing I guess the MCU has to pad the first two because without the third we wouldn't be able to tell the good guys from the bad guys.

Q: But, Mina, why wouldn't you want to live forever by my side? A: Dracula's 120th anniversary was last year, besides, it's too late to suck the life blood from American democracy.

Besides, the commode was full. I dare you to say that wasn't a multi-level fail.

If they wanted to start a limited series, but have the potential of continuing the series without having to keep the cast on the books, it would be best to center the series on a location. Project Pegasus would work, and would allow them to pull in characters from other works when it was feasible without requiring them to do so. Besides, they'd get to use Wundarr the Aquarian and who doesn't love THAT character.

Q: I read about it but didn't see it, so tell me, how does a wardrobe malfunction involve a diaper? A: The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained liberation from the self.

Chihuahuas. With proper training and a large enough pack their effect could be something like Land Piranhas.

The ending would change from tears to cheers: Old Yeller NT: Discontinued toiletries that are still VITAL to a subset of humanity.

This sounds like an OTG opportunity. Build the most powerful form of the character possible with SPD that is one more than you want it to be, let's call it Form Z, then slap as many remaining points as possible into Multiform (can only transform to Form Y, -1/2). Build Form Y with one step lower on the power scale and give this form a Multiform (can only transform into Form X and Form Z, -1/4). Build Form V, Form W, and Form X similar to Form Y, but stepping down power wise and only able to transform into one weaker and one stronger form. Build Form U as the weakest variant only able to transform into Form V. Now when the fighting starts, you transform as necessary to maintain the "gets stronger as the battle progresses" motif. Then when the fighting is over, how quickly the reverse transformation happens will depend on the phases you use to walk down the transformation ladder. Now, has my use of the word 'transform' while discussing the power 'multiform' confused everyone else as much as it has me, or are we good? Huh? Oh, it means Overload The Gm.

Since when do indians use Federation sidearms?

You might think me windy, but you could call him The Breeze and have his theme song all sewn up... ...and... I'll just move on down the road.

It depends on how the GM is running the game. If the GM uses hit locations for every attack, there should be specific disadvantages for 'only covers location X'. Otherwise, you may need some sort of 'activation' type roll to indicate whether or not the armore on the left 'pilk' is struck by the bad guys 'frammis gun'. Alternately, each piece could contribute X armor to the whole and when the GM has the big bad smash the left 'pilk' with his self-targeting, homing, frammis blasts (coming from the baddy's eyes and performing angular cork-screw motions to track the target) the total defense drops by the amount provided by the left 'pilk'. So, there are various methods to build this, but the appropriate one is dependent on the GM.

Unfortunately, the ubiquitous use of the terms 'pepper spray' and 'mace' has rendered this statement moot. The original formulation (chemical mace, 1965) could be either weaker or stronger than formulations termed 'pepper spray', dependent on the concentration used in the latter. It is currently nigh impossible to find a formulation under either term that does not contain capsaicin, and most countries regulate the CN gas component of chemical mace so that it isn't available outside the military.

So, every time I close my eyes I see this greenish, pointy-eared guy holding a tankard and a road flare saying, "Hey, Chokuhk, hold my ale" and proceeding to accidentally set fire to his shoulder drape.
