GingerOfTheNorth! Charming Canadian conversationalist by day, mighty defender of caribou, esquimaux, and ice-fishing holes by night! Her smile could thaw the tundra itself, but her spinning back kick can flatten a sasquatch!

Tune in next week, when we hear GingerOfTheNorth ask the pressing question, “Why the heck can’t I go someplace warm and be a superhero? Damn these tights, anyway.”

MrVisible, can grow to sizes larger than mountains, making him able to be seen from everywhere at once! Of course, you’ll always want to call him ‘Mr.’ or else he’ll step on you. (Quite a mess, when you’re part of a large city…)

**Chocobo** , the superhero with the ability to turn your bowtie, bo stick or bow & arrow set into solid chocolate. Or, if you prefer, just give it a light chocolate glaze.

**Kat** has the ability to transform into any type of feline, real, or mythical. She has poisoned claws when transformed, and has feline senses even when in human form.

All in all, she’s a mighty fine piece of tail. 😉

**Amati** : he can make any stringed instrument, anywhere, into a veritable voice of the muses - adding two extra zeroes to its value! Remember that guitar you bought in high school? After Amati’s done with it, you’ll be able to sell it to pay for a semester of college!

Who’s that at the NASCAR Track, the Tractor Pull, and eating those pickled pigs feet? Why it is **Bubba Ray** the man with the ability to out redneck anyone!

Marvel as he becomes a one man line dance!

Gasp as he shoots three deer with a single shot!

Quiver as he turns that roadkill into the best BBQ you’ve ever had!

Be astonished at his ability to blend into any southern crowd.

Hmm… **MGibson**? Could that be _Mister_ Gibson, who has the rare ability to mix a faaaaabulous gin, vermouth, and pearl onion-based cocktail? Sure, it may not save the world, but it sure impresses the ladies…

Ooh, and I can’t resist… **Bubba Ray**? _The_ Bubba Ray? The man whose very presence causes mullets to spring forth from every man, woman, and redneck child, all across this great nation of ours (and some of Canada too, by the looks of it)? I’ve even heard him called “Bubba Mulletseed” down 'bama way…

A low hush falls over the crowd. Low, ominous, and yet, strangely heroic music pipes in from nowhere (and it sounds like it was composed by Danny Elfman).

Hark! What was that? No, it’s over there… no, THERE… oh, Good Lord, there it is! It’s…

It’s…

It’s…

It’s…

It’s…

It’s…

It’s…

It’s…

It’s…

It’s…

Who the hell is that?

Oh. It’s…

It’s…

It’s…

It’s…

**ColonelMoose**!!!

[sub]Who?

ColonolMoose, dummy.

Oh.[/sub]

Yes, **ColonelMoose** , the great and amazing superpowered dynamo, who has the tantalizingly astounding ability to withstand the stinging harshness of Britney Spears’ music!

Also, he’s Captain America’s lesser-known and less-popular contemporary from Canada… he wears tight, puce tights, a funny little head-piece with two antlers, and a shield that’s shaped like a lozenge.

Hail, ColonelMoose! May you live to uphold truth, justice, and the Canadian way! Except all that crap about the French…

Look there, in the sky…

Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

Hmmm… I’m not sure what it is…

\<GASP!\>

Then it MUST be…SPOOFE!

Ya know, that guy who gets the bad guys to believe something when it’s not really. He doesn’t really have any super powers or a cool cape or anything, but he talks reeeeeealy smoothly.  
Yeah, we here in Doperville are sure happy to have him about. Lotsa confused criminals left in his wake, you bet!

He was never supposed to survive…

After a horrific crash in a powder blue 1977 Ford Fierra it looked like curtains for our hero. But just when it seemed all hope was lost, the slightly bent genius Dr. Numbus Neutron stumbled upon the still-smoking remains. Working through the night (and well into breakfast) Dr. Neutron worked around the tangled mass of steel and flesh, forging the supercharged cybernetic crime fighter we know today as **Fierra!**

Featuring the wit and intellect of a human with the strength, speed, gas-milage and durability of a car made in the Philippines, **Fierra** is a fantastic front-wheel-drive force for justice!

**fierra** – SDMB poster by day, Autobot by night! Able to “Transform and roll out!” Transforms into a completely unremarkable model of Ford auto, standard in every way.

I didn’t say **fierra** was one of the _great_ Autobots, now did I ?

As the **Mighty Tiki God** roams the city in his costume of blue spandex, he is secure in the knowledge that whenever the bad guys begin to shoot at him, he may immediately transform into an Immobile Giant Polynesian Stone Head, impervious to all artillery.
