I always liked the idea of a single player character that could split into weaker multiple forms, but the idea of the team fusing into one mega-hero just seems too problematic to me. The real reason is, if you want to go with Captain Planet, or Voltron, or any other team-up-into-badass-form, it seems like nearly every situation they are in, the entire team throws themselves at the problem, are promptly swatted, and then call on their much more potent, and never beaten, super form. I remember as a kid saying, 'Why don't they just form into Voltron and whip out that blazing sword from the start? It ALWAYS works!' I think that kind of power option will not only cause the bickering over who gets to drive, but the GM has to either make the villians so tough they need the other form, or watch the PC's walk all over the adventure... or only let them use it once, and then have them forget it ever happened, or something goofy like that.

Our current group has been through a couple name changes, and now we are back to our original bickering namless status. We've been involved in all sorts of history altering plots, and we tend to favor rather brutal tactics (like when the 5 of us put down the entire 9 man villian team on seg 12!) So I still say we should be named Brute Destiny! 'There is a fine line between madness and genius.' NotMyIfurita
