  1. I love Bob Greenwade's concept of superhero sanction as a kind of professional accreditation system for metahumans and the fact that the system incentivises people to become sanctioned by providing them with so many advantages unavailable to non-sanctioned supers. I would definitely be using a modified version of it myself if I ran a Champions campaign.

  2. There's a scene in the New Avengers where Luke Cage tells a reporter that he joined up on the condition that the Avengers, instead of playing X-Box and watching TV between super-villains, got into uniform and just showed up in a particular neighbourhood to throw a scare into the local crims and make them take their business someplace else, then repeat the process, to make it too non-profitable for them to operate there. He called it IMPACT super-heroing, after a similar programme by the (I think) NYPD. He then points to where there's a crack house near a school and demands to know why no-one seems bothered by this. He then threatens to come back and tear it down unless it was dealt with by the authorities.

     

    That's the kind of stuff I can see super-teams doing in the "real world".

     

    I haven't got it exactly right, but that's certainly the gist of it.

  3. Pair a Quicksilver homage with a Hulk homage   .....   Fast and Furious

     

    Pair a druidic / plant control hero with a durable brick   .....   Laurel and Hardy

     

    Pair a holy man with a stone-like brick   .....   Abbot and Castello

     

    Pair a juggler throwing assorted high-tech grenades with a martial artist wielding a manrikigusari   .....   Ball and Chain

    (bonus points if they're married)

     

    Slap. Slapslapslapslapslapslap

    Those are awful.

     

     

    But funny, and imaginative. I think "Fast and Furious" is my favourite.
