Rosie McCoy was blessed with a perfect figure but a face that only a mother might love.  She ended up as a stand-in for Hollywood starlets (from the neck down) in any scenes that required nudity.  Uncredited, unknown, seeing the careers of dozens of young women career skyrocket on her fleshy foundation, and knowing that as her physical attributes faded so would her prospects, Rosie McCoy sought out radical plastic surgery to give her the 'perfect' face.  

Emerging from the stormy night of the operation, a power outage, and an overdose of anesthetics, Rosie got her face.  But it wouldn't move - a blank, impassive expressionless mask looked back at her from the mirror.  She cracked and frantically clawed at it, hoping her natural-born homely features were still there, underneath.  But always, the mannikin-like visage would return.  One day, after watching an old movie, she realized her face had changed - to resemble Ingrid Bertmann, the famous actress!  She practiced until she could copy the features of anyone she observed - onscreen or remotely.  Over time, she realized she could also alter height, weight, voice, even gender.  She began offing the starlets she despised to take their place and live the lifestyle she dreamed of.   Eventually she joined the Scene Stealers as a master of disguise, able to perfectly impersonate politicians, generals, executives or anyone else to advance their nefarious schemes; reverting to Ingrid or other film noir actresses otherwise.

She is Body Double.

I have a soft spot for Space Pulp and will definitely check this out!  The Savage Worlds Slipstream setting might also be worth a look.

I believe Star Hero spends some pages on this kind of setting, but it would be excellent to have an actual, full-length genre guide.

[groan], that's a bad one!

True to their rep, many of the European Enemies are cheesy and kitschy.  Thing is, I like cheesy and kitschy so I may track down a copy!

Gordon Summoner is the King of Pain.  Anyone within a hundred foot radius is susceptible to his nerve induction power - the simulation of burning, freezing, contusions, lacerations or any other torture the King can devise; the victim's agony is, however, only illusory and his or her body is not in fact harmed.  Gordon, originally a humble English schoolteacher, was one faculty member the students desperately hoped they wouldn't get! 

Porko, an evil porcine being from Orko's dimension, is rotund, gluttonous and not very mobile; his true power is the ability to convince Eternia's domestic animals that they are an oppressed underclass and inspire them to revolt.   Even Cringer/Battlecat begins to find himself swayed by the charismatic oinker.   Of course, when the two-legged beings are run out of town, he crowns himself Emperor Porko and starves his followers to pad his larder.  Beastman meets Orwell!

Wow, a real-life Ankylosaurus!  Who needs Jurassic World?

Man-Thing has already had several matches in Okefenokee.  Doesn't that count as mud wrestling?

(why is okefenokee so fun to say??)

I was trying to remember, does the CU have a Nick Fury type?  A skilled (nominal) 'normal' that can serve as the liaison? 

Liam McIntyre as Seeker. 

You can never go wrong with playing card themed characters!

There's also the DC character Rose/Thorn.  Hard to come up with a name some writer hasn't somewhere in comics history, but we have a lot of good contenders in this thread!

Tell me she's a weathergirl in her civilian ID (but always has to make sure her predictions are wrong lest she tip people off ).

She does sound like the Oracle of Delphi, whose real name was Pythia.

Ruby Sibyl or Scarlet Sibyl

Mindswipe (sounds villainy, though).

Carmina (feminine and refers to her costume, sounds vaguely Gypsy)

I admit I haven't seen any fan-edits, but gathered that Organa is representative of a number of Senators who secretly kickstart the Rebel Alliance - Mon Mothma being another one but her scenes were deleted (they can be seen in the special features). 

In the end, Palpatine decides to do away with Organa's whole planet as an object lesson. . .fear will keep the local systems in line.

I don't think you can say everything went to Palpatine's plan - he was cultivating a young apprentice but in the end said apprentice was reduced to a sauteed, half-dead wreck incapable of fully embracing the dark side.

I can see that. . . uh, fancily!

While we wait - and because you demanded it! - a few more Grooisms.  In the end, the match I was hoping for, Black Adam vs. Groo, turned out to be against Ms. Martian.  But imho, it would have been even more hilarious the other way and some of the reasons I came up with to vote for our favorite cheese dip gourmand are below.

• You have to admit, a lot more men look like Groo than Black Adam.  He’s a Groo of the people!
•  Black Adam rules a small, fictional country.  Groo has single-handedly destroyed several.
• Despite all the steroids and nutritional supplements Black Adam is obviously taking, Groo still has bigger biceps.
• The Rock is preparing to play Black Adam.  To date, no actor has been found worthy to play Groo.
• Khandaq is literally full of mendicants.
• Black Adam’s hairline -– receding.  Groo’s hairline – advancing!

In honor of the upcoming finals, here are the relevant BBB and LAUGH team members from my chess collection:

This would make a great tag-team match, methinks!

GA and Hawkeye are pawns, Thor a Bishop, and Aquaman a Rook; chesswise, LAUGH has the advantage.

May the evil D12 look kindly upon you both!

That would work, too - don't watch much rugby but it seems even more brutal!

Surprised we didn't have a European Football themed member with the big FIFA scandal (and Blatter sounds like an evil mastermind name if I've ever heard one).

DeWayne Johnson,  the 12th Man, former American Football player, drummed out of the league for continual use of illegal and experimental drugs to enhance his performance.  Later, the chemical cocktails activated a natural mutation, allowing him to produce 11 duplicates at will.  Each formidable - stronger and faster than normal human standards - together the 'dirty dozen' are able to blitz, bloody and bruise nearly anyone into the turf.  DeWayne has often hired himself out as 'minion muscle' to wealthy supervillains, but is now looking to be a major player himself.

The CU has the right approach - a few paragraphs giving some possible reasons for the demographics.   A laborious, continent by continent slog is just too much.  

Liaden probably hit the nail in that supervillains are going to gravitate to the 1st world - that's where the money, hi-tech, power, prestige and fame they crave is concentrated.   Their egos won't allow them to prey on 'backwater nations', even if that would make more sense. 

Not to mention China and India would absolutely dominate in sheer number of supers.    I was flipping through the Halt, Evil Doer! sourcebook the other day and it spends a whole chapter on this issue, coming up with in-game explanations for the imbalance such as cosmic rays that hit N. America, shadowy experiments in the US, and brutal anti-meta hysteria in Asia.  

Struck me as a little OCD; sometimes you just have to shrug and say 'genre convention'.    Since many superpowered persons may not know of/keep their capabilities secret, it's not like we'd ever have an accurate census anyway!

I've been reading through the Hero System 6th ed. Basic Rulebook to get back into the system and it's another option to consider.  Relatively cheap if you go with print on demand at RPGnow, 160 pages.  The core of the system is there, but it only describes the most commonly used powers/skills/etc.

Georgy Orlov, aka the Russian Steamroller enjoys crushing anyone and anything weaker than him.  His refurbished Soviet-era semi-cylindrical armored suit rotates with such power that he can grind through any substance - or person! - that gets in his way.  At heart, however, he is a bit of a coward and when up against someone able to outfight/outsmart him, he typically beats a hasty retreat. 

Although we all know Groo deserves it for his bravery and can-do attitude, boring things such as wins and kills ensures that Black Bolt is KOAN's pick.

Is there going to be a special arena for this bout?

Definitely seems influenced by the Spidey villain Scorpion.   As suggested, could be a good adversary for a new group - The Return of Dr. Draconis has a nice ring to it as an adventure title!

See, now I want actual write-ups of these, esp. The Smelltacular Skunkape!
