**deb2world** , **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor** , and **Polish Sausage** still don’t have powers. With the League Of Really Nasty Super-Villains on the way, we’re going to need all the help we can get.

[sub]Especially with my particle-straining power. What the hell will that do for me in a fight?[/sub]

**Fierra** is a good addition to a superhero squad because one never runs out of materials when Fierra is around. Everything can be used a little _further_ than before.

Super Helicopter running low on gas? Don’t worry, Fierra’s on board, we’ll make it.  
Low on ammo? Fierra, get over here!

“Sir, the mortar’s couldn’t possibly hit that target! It’s over 200 yards beyond approved range! We’re doomed!”  
“Is that Fierra manning it? By jove, it is! Charge!”

**unixrat** … able to tunnel into the most closely guarded computer banks of the world’s most rogue nations, and then force them to perform amazing tasks using a language it takes mere mortals years to master.

**Stock plug-ugly henchman solider type.**  
“Sir! Someone’s broken into the Weapons-of-Hideous-Mass-Destruction command center and listed all our missile bases in reverse alphabetical order!”

**Stock Third World Middle Eastern/Latin American dictator type.**  
“Curses! My plans are ruined! There’s only one man who could have pulled off this insidious stunt…”

well, you get the idea.

**Polish Sausage** has the uncanny ability to cause such bad gas in the enemies that they are rendered useless and fall over while their bowels scream in agony!

Master of the Dark Side of the Force? Who excels at telekinetic strangulation? Most feared throughout the galaxy? Why, it’s **Dark Lord Davidson**!!

**Olentzero:** the only superhero with a Christian holiday in the middle of his name and the astounding ability to inspire guilt in all who stand before him. With his choir boy innocence and a little help from PopeMan, he stands to face down the forces of evil.

**deb2world:** Strange visitor from Dallas, this former cheerleader has decided to move up. Ready for the world, deb2 has the kung fu grip that just won’t stop. Watch out evildoers!

**Dark Lord Davidson:** an awe-inspiring site in black body armor, horn rim glasses and a heavy breather from birth, this awesome crime-fighting machine travels the world finding the lack of things disturbing.

**Skerri:** Combining the awesome skat vocalizations of Mel Torme and the wherry-boating skills of a champion rower, Skerri stands ready to bebop those bad guys into oblivions. Villains and crooks alike have learn the fear the sight of Skerri, skimming to the scene of the crime in his “light, swift rowboat built for one person and often used in racing.”

</div>

(trumpets fanfare in the background: mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh mrrrrrrrrhhhhhh

trumbones take over quietly: mrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhh)

**Dark Lord Davidson** suveys his domain. The latest rebellion has been crushed. It’s getting too easy - this time they didn’t even make it past the Dread Portal[sup]TM[/sup]. The Girl[sup]TM[/sup] is with all the others.

He yawns. Surely there is another challenge to be faced. A fist in a black leather glove clenches as he surveys the sunset. For he knows that **jarbabyj** is out there, bottling villains, and that true domination will not be complete as long as she lives.

A lackey brings **Dark Lord Davidson** his evening glass of milk. With Superhuman Strength[sup]TM[/sup] gleaned from draining the **Bo Diddly** from the once great **SPOOFE** , he raises the lackey from the floor one-handed and sends him tumbling into the Abyss[sup]TM[/sup].

He retreats to his Inner Sanctum[sup]TM[/sup] and powers up the Super Laser[sup]TM[/sup]. Who will win this epic battle between Good and Evil? Stay tuned to find out…

**Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor** , the greatmage, bearing dark powers, weilding the weft and warp of the world [sub](and lots of alliteration)[/sub]. **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor** is an unknown force, with no known ties to good or evil, only that of fighting wrongs as he sees them. hailing from prehistory, **Bosda** arrived in our time through a temporal gate, one torn open from the ancient magecity Tricor as the magical floating island carring it fell to earth.

do not anger this paragon of power and possibility, for perhaps someone might find you after he has completed his magyics…

and then kill thenselves at the horrible, horrible sight.

Bitten by a radioactive octopus, **inky** now has the ability to squirt ink into his (?) opponent’s eyes!

A German taxi-driver with the ability to multilocate, **kabbes** can easily run the taxi service of a whole city!

The result of generations of interbreeding in Hell, **Beezelbubba** can do all of the things you’d expect a demonic redneck to be able to do!

And then there’s **Ethilrist** and **RickJay**. Well, I have to leave something for the next poster, don’t I? [sub]Let them deal with the hard names…\*\*

A strange being from another dimension **Ethlirist** is able to convert the blood of evildoers into ethyl, causing them to quickly become drunk. Which not only allows **Ethlirist** to subdue them, but adds another charge onto their arrest record!

**RickJay**

Dressed in blue with wings spread out behind him (kind of annoying when trapped in a small enclosed space) is able to argue with bird like sounds! Instantaneous headaches! (And very useful against the in-laws…)

**plasticbryon**  
When heated to high temperatures, able to streeeeeeeeetch to incredable lenths! Will sheild lovely lady Janice Jemini in bubble when she, a mere mortal is at risk!

[sub]Gosh, my name’s probably going to be so easy…[/sub]

**Balance** : Able to supernaturally bring any two objects or locations into balance, on any level or by any definition, the archangel Zdorakel wanders the lesser planes. Big guy beating up a little guy? They become the same size! Co-worker complaining about your bad gas? He gets half of it! etc. etc.

**furryman** : Ahhh!! He’s furry! He’s–so–furry! (strong, too!)

**rayniday** : Able to manipulate the weather to a limited degree, she can make the day sunny or rainy by force of will! Also resents the implication that she’s the love child of [Storm](http://www.geocities.com/Area51/2871/storm.html) and [the Ray](http://home.att.net/~priest-comics/the_ray.htm). Don’t even start that with her!

**FairyChatMom** With her sparkly crown and magic wand, she can converse with the wee folk and advise them why it’s really necessary to wear those warm sweaters and why any more back talk will get them yet _another_ time out.
