    Q: Who was cheated of his Oscar THIS time?

     

    A: More powerful than a ulterior motive, faster than a speeding rumor, and able to leap to conclusions in a single bound!

    Q: What the heck do I do with FREd besides gaming?

     

    A: A screaming echo of despair and futility that chills a man down to the very bones of his soul.

  3. Welcome to the new Cold War

     

    Assuming some of the soldiers in this universe gained super powers and managed to hold on to their sanity?

     

    You'd have a method of making super soldiers in the hands of the US military R&D. They'd try to perfect it, and likely, put their guys through some tests.

     

    If the right big wig thought it would be a good way to earn public trust, they might indeed take a glance at the comic books and decide to appeal to the public by having these new supers adopt colorful costumes and names. Heck, the particular soldiers might even have their names and faces as "classified". Hello Secret Idenity.

     

    For a time, the United States (and maybe an ally or two if they felt like sharing) would have the edge. it might change historical events like the Korean War.

     

    The USSR and Red China would hardly be asleep during all this. They'd do what they could to find out just how it was done. Also, caring less for the lives lost- They'd soon catch up by cutting corners. If they showed any sense, they'll make sure they have some method of controling their men.

     

    While nukes would stay important, a new 'arms race' would really get going. Coupling both military might with propaganda oppurtunities, what country wouldn't want at least one 'super operative'?

     

    On both sides though, you'd end up with the occaisional rogue super.

     

    If their children somehow 'inheirited' a chance of becoming a super... it gets even more complicated.

    A: Grond smash!

     

    Q> "Mr. Grond, I'm with Superhype. Is there any truth to the rumor you maybe... impotent?"

     

    A. Mechanon, Sapphire, and an air freshener

    A. No, that was the other Lee Harvey Oswald. The tall one.

     

    Q. Who's running for California Governor THIS week?

     

    A. Like a pitbull on steroids with a hangover.

    Then, clearly, our ideal situation is to make the Evil Lord VonFu! Born of German Chinese Ancestry, he now plots the overthrow of the world by use of long lost nazi super tech, but he insists his killer robots and secret bases follow the oriental philosphies of correct energy in their shape and flow. His Shoa-Lin trianed cyborg stormtroopers are among the most feared on the planet and his Panzer 2000 tanks can, of course, morph into mechanical dinosaur shapes!
