  1. "Curse you! And your foul use of tactics!"
  2. Perhaps it is the opening to the hollow earth!
  3. If I was a super vill, that is exactly where I would be located.
  4. Depends on how it is done. Are the Avengers a government branch? an NGO? Something else? What governance is in place? I am sure that the "money" people would Want to control opperations, but each super has non replacable skills. Having a self run super team is far better than Not having a super team....in a world where world, and galaxy threatening enemies pop up without warning. (We are lucky they seem to choose NY to appear instead of sentinel island....)
  5. But even in the comics the Avengers had a salary, and were "full time" heroes. Sure Tony paid them, but the Government would surely be happy to cover costs. (Late T'Chala took over expenses) If Tony took them as a "write off" on his taxes, then the government is de facto paying their salaries...:)
  6. But the software existed for the cgi, because of other projects. Didn't Hulk also push out bullets, then heal?
  7. Use a softer metal jacket, with an Adamantium core? Or if you want fancy, a discarding sabot?
  8. "My name is Rage In! of the Murder beast clan!"
  9. Personally...I strongly suspect that Spin is why the Time Arrow, only points one way.
  10. Super glad you are running this one! It looks tre-cool when it came out.
  11. Not sure where to post this. But this is a fun video about Spin. The fundimental force we don't understand!

    Sensors

    Mass scanner, using the Higgs field?
  13. That would be the eugenics part, though it might be a family of orphans, that came together while in the program...?
  14. The same applies to Cartels and Monopolies, once apon a time, That was legal, but it caused "problems" so society took action. After all a Cartel restricts free trade.....etc. The only open cartel/monopoly that seems to operate openly is Diamonds, and they have to use moralistic advertising to prevent people from buying "blood diamonds".
  15. But market forces apply. Bumpy Johnson could supply better Heroin than others, so he created a "brand" and took control of most of the market (in New York anyways) Sub par grade goods require a captive market. And that requires monopolies, or cartels. That happens After somebody "wins" the market, and can close out competitors. Through diplomacy, or other means. Even purity laws are a barrier to free trade, we use them because they benefit society as a whole. There was a time when they did not exist. After it became a problem, government stepped in.
  16. My take from my own reading was they want "Ethical gangsterism" more or less. If the Black swallow mob sells bad meat, the "Blue Dahlia" Mob can make a move....
  17. The only "plus" is that it is supposed to be a cast of all nations, so other than some possible "gender swaps" it should be "OK". Also they hate, and fight Nazis! So "on brand!"
  18. I was a house wreker, I tore down buildings and took scrap to be resold.
  19. It's...Florida, do I need to explain?
  20. I May be a Jester...but I am No FOOL!....
