Re: Villain Theme Teams
We ran into one themed on the seasons
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I can't recall what they all did but Spring was a duplicator.
The Pentacle was the Evil Magic using group but they had tech as well. The Warlock was the boss and had clashed with our group before hand. Warmaster was the head of the agents who had high tech. Basicallly he was created to pay for the agents. The Swampwitch/Mindwitch was a evil witch we ran into who later joined the group. Count Karnak was a Vampire. The Enchantress had a dark field within which lurked a demon (excessive killing attack). Necropolis was a brick. Master Spite was a man killed by the team who came back as the demonic being.
The Chemical Compound was probably the best received of the groups with various incarnations being done by the GMs. Members included Carbonate who could turn himself into various forms of Carbon or its compunds ie Diamond or Carbon Dioxide. Magnesium with the powerful flash attack, Uranium who coul neutralise others powers, Iron who was a brick, Arsenic who had a poison killing attack (he died and became Master Spite above). But Gold, Silver, Sulphur, Helium, Chlorine and Copper all were members.
The Psycho Circus. Based on the Circus of Crime from Marvel. The Clown was the boss. Big feet and trick nose. Rubberman was a stretcher. Fire Eater was an energy projector. Tumbler an acrobatic martial artist. The Conjuror had magic tricks. Strong Man had strength. Human Cannon Ball flew around like nobody's business. The Fat Lady another brick.
I am working on one based on the Chinese Years ie Rooster, Tiger, Sheep, Dog, Rat, Ox, Monkey, Dragon, Horse, Pig and two others.
