Loosely speaking, the Vengeance Society is the largest team of supervillains on Meld, but really it's just the team with the most unstable roster as various members join, drop out, are imprisoned or disabled by injury. It is rife with internecine squabbles that sometimes make it seem that they spend more time fighting each other than the heroes and other targets of various quests for revenge. Essentially a new Vengeance Society forms every time a few solo villains manage to overcome their differences enough to team up for a common goal. Numbered among their constantly shifting roster are:
Captain Anarchy: Green Skull's previously mentioned arch-enemy and sometimes the leader of the society.
Scarlet Wizard: A sorcerous villain and also sometimes the leader when his shaky sanity isn't acting up. Brother to Silver Slash
Ymir: Empowered by a ancient Norse artifact Able to turn into a battle-axe swinging giant made out of regenerating ice, and able to control wind, ice and cold.
Solomon Fixit: Hulking grey skinned revenant mobster with enormous strength and the ability to return from death.
Shadow Panther: Boosted agility and strength, claws plus the ability to generate darkness and see in the dark.
Alexander Stark: Evil corporate robber baron. Inventive genius that allowed him to create a suit of powered armour. Sometimes leader of the society.
Mothman: Able to shrink to the size of a moth or grow into a moth-like kaiju known as Behemoth. Communicates with and controls lepidoptera.
Silver Slash: Scarlet Wizard's sister, able to run at superspeed and slash foes with her feline claws.
Binary Star: Given powers when she acquired a gem from outer space, Carol Danvers-Ferris was turned into a flying zapper with super strength and forcefields in her villainous form. Carol can not remember the misdeeds of her alternate self when in her human form.
Immorton: After accidentally throwing himself into the future, Immorton mastered futuristic technology and returned to the present to join the Society on an undercover mission to avert a catastrophe there, seeking to manipulate the villains of the society to save the mostly depopulated future.
And dozens more!

Funny freudian slip.
“Elected officials have to do what’s popular, and sometimes not what’s right, and that’s a problem. That’s I think why people get nervous about Trump. He doesn’t do what’s popular or what’s right— or or I should should say he only does what’s right, I should say,” Habba said.

I may have brought this up before, but... As a point of pedantry, the Antichrist does not appear in Revelations. In the RSV at least, the term only appears in the first letter of John:
"Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come; therefore we know that it is the last hour." (2:18)
"Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son." (2:22)
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already." (4:1-3)
IANAT* but Donald Trump probably qualifies as *an* antichrist, in that he gives onbly the most cursory statements of Christian faith while bragging constantly of his own divine power and gifts. He certainly qualifies as a false prophet.

Premillenialists equate the Anti-Christ with the un-named first horseman of the Apocalypse.

The Doom Foes consisted of:
The Director: A paraplegic scientist who gained the power to attract and repel objects, allowing him to glide around on a hovering wheelchair and engage in combat.
Negative X: A man who looks like a living X-Ray image of himself and can fly and shoot x-ray blasts.
Aqua: A woman who can liquify and solidify her body, stretching her limbs and growing to giant size
FMJ: A disembodied brain in a cyborg body built for him by Director.
They were an effective team of superheroes until they broke up after the other members discovered that the Director had planned their exposure to the same energies that created the Freakish Four.

Archer season 1 is the guy who investigated a derelict space vessel and discovered the crew were hooked to machines to suck out their cerebro-spinal fluid for the convenience of space vampires, decided to run away from the weird scariness, then decided to change his mind hours later and came back to a confrontation with the space vampires that he would have avoided if he hadn't vacillated.
He's the guy who on discovering a military secret of his allies because he wouldn't just go away when asked to and decided to expose this classified information, triggering an interstellar incident that nearly erupted into a massive war.
He's the guy who took his dog down to p== on a tree that was the centerpiece of a community he was trying to open diplomatic relations with.
He's the guy who first asked his science officer how her people would investigate a new planet, and on learning that they would be cautious and methodical decided instead to treat it like a campout in his parent's backyard.
He's the guy who, on discovering that human ships were being preyed upon by space pirates decided to do nothing except keep the civilians from trying to fight back.
He's the guy who had a cure for the disease that was going to render an entire species extinct and decided they didn't deserve it because not having exterminated their neanderthals made them unfit to live.
He's the guy who on discovering a crew member had been implanted with alien offspring decided that was funny and not something scary and life-endangering.
He's the guy whose plans when encountering hostiles always started with "OK, first I let myself get captured..."
Truly Jonathan Archer was the greatest commander in Starfleet's history. His brilliance dazzled all who beheld it

A wheel lift towtruck would have no real problem. It would damage the driver's side tires, but that's minor.

Give the objectification of the deadly sin of Pride to a species with a reputation for both figuratively and literally regarding themselves as above everything on Earth, leaving them so out of touch with what's going on that they always be relied upon to show after the nick of time to salvage a few people from the wreckage of the events they missed.

Very high, but remember to apply disadvantage, can burn in oxygen. Diamond is just carbon with some minor trace elements.
Flesh burns a lot easier.
4 hours ago, Tech said:Diamonds are superb conductors of heat and burns a little after 1600 degrees; it's not known for it's ability to burn. However, they are subject to being cut by a precise strike. Does anything think a DEF of 18 is too much?
Nah. Superheroes and villains are more about the concept of a thing than the thing itself. For example Spider-Man's powers are not actually those of a spider. They are just spider-themed even though they work totally differently. However Find Weakness should be really effective versus diamond armour because having breaking points is part of the the theme of diamonds.

Thanks; I already knew about the Musk thing (am I mis-remembering, or did he try to so the same rhing with PayPal?
More or less. He actually had his own money transfer program named "X.com" but it was less successful than Paypal for obvious reasons if you've ever searched for "X" online. But he merged X.com with Confinity and tried to fulfill his ambition for X.com to become an everything app like WeChat. The result was a shareholder revolt that booted him out. Now he's trying to do the same thing with Twitter and X.com still sounds like a porn site.

Thanks a lot.
All the times I ask for help, and there is always that one guy who whines that I didn't just Google it.
So I did, and I am going back to asking for help; I dont care who whines.
xvideos is a porn site.
Elon Musk in his latest dumbass move has chosen to try to change twitter's name to "X".
