**Umbriel** – can cause the thirteenth moon of Uranus to wobble unsteadily, thus throwing the Earth off its orbit and causing it to careen into the sun in, oh, about four billion years. He works slow. ---

From the darkest reaches of the solar system comes **Umbriel** , master of Uranus. Do not let the old, cratered skin of Umbriel fool you. With a swift stroke of the famous _Fluorescent Cheerio_ ring, the tide of any battle will be turned! ---

Against the five whirling blades of **MachV** , stubble cowers in fear. Every morning he fights the neverending battle against his rogue’s gallery of villians: Mustachio, Goatee-boy, and The Muttonchopper. They are defeated, yes… but they shall return… ---

Wearia Projects depression onto enemies until they are just a hopeless, sobbing mess crying on the floor. Wearia is little known to be the only superhero to beat Superman, Batman, and the Incredible Hulk (all through their withdrawal and eventual default) in a world-wide tag team wrestling tournanment in 1996. Wearia’s specialty is exploiting emotional weaknesses to disable other superheros and supervillians rather than defeating them physically. ---

Ogre: a large, green, catankerous being, with blackened teeth, leather clothing sewn to his skin, Ogre is able to chew through and digest any substance. Bathes in mud, prefers 500% proof moonshine, and has a spiffy gold monocle and a British accent. ---

**Ogre** - half man, half beast; the result of Science gone MAD! Stronger than five waterbuffalo and twice as polite, he’s a misunderstood creature, searching for clues to his own shrouded history! ---

I seem to remember folks last time going back to identify anyone missed due to simulposting. Here goes: Bryan Ekers – able to make enemies barren or feeble. Horseflesh – excellent running, carrying, and smelling abilities. Downfall is often being spooked by snakes and passing cars. Eggnog – Duos up with Anniexmas. Is able to infuse small amounts of rum into opponents bloodstream leaving them slightly tipsy and jolly. Can be identified by the aroma of nutmeg during strenuous activity. Zanshin – just LOVES to dance on the heads of fallen enemies. Due to an unfortunate dental mishap, his/her speech is impaired. Often heard exclaiming, “I’m zanshin! I’m zanshin!” John Carter of Mars – former President of the Federation of Little Green Men. Upon leaving office was given a nifty ray gun. photopat – Pat manages to get incriminating evidence of illegal activity. No one cares to ask how. Ino – knows everything and is sarcastic to boot. Often preceeded by Welduh. DirkGntly – able to fly as long as he is distracted while falling down. Sam Hell – eats LOTS of beans. Very handy with a match, too. ---

**Lightnin’** : Is able to make lightning fly fast and furious out of his fingers to zap any unsuspecting evildoer, and anybody who crosses him and/or his friends the wrong way. This power also works remotely, as he is able to just think of someone or something who needs zapping, and presto! They’re zapped, not knowing what hit them. The effects of the zap? It shocks them from their head right down to their toes, leaving the recipient (or victim, if you prefer) surely dazed and confused. F\_X ---

Lightnin’ - formerly mild-mannered harp player Harry Harpy, he was struck by lightning one day while playing his harp in the park. When he recovered, Harry found that he had the superhuman ability to transform himself into a bolt of lightning and travel at light speed. The accident, however, has had two sad side effects. The first is that his personality has become shocking in nature. The other is that he is no longer able to pronounce a ‘g’ sound at the end of a word. He hopes that this speech disability will not give away his secret identity. Zev Steinhardt ---

have fun with my handle, whoever is next! 😃 Flamsterette\_X was once a happy female flamster (flying hamster) until she drank Chemical X, the stuff responsible for (dun dun dun…) the Powerpuff Girls! With enormous eyes, she prowls the skies at night, stunning humans and monsters alike with her cuteness. ---

Flamsterette was a computer typist at work one day when an electrical discharge from her keyboard released her latent mutant powers. She is now able to type 10000 WPM and can comment on any subject at any time. Zev Steinhardt ---

**agentfroot** , at least you didn’t say “flaming hamster”! 😃 **zev\_steinhardt** , 1000 WPM? Hardly that. However, if you give me the chance, I will comment on a bunch of subjects at any time, despite maybe knowing little to nothing about them! 😃 F\_X ---

**agentfroot** - known for his killer ability with a children’s cereal (that lots of adults eat, too) his most potent attack is via detachable toucan bill.
