Loosely inspired by Art’s new Superhero team thread. If you were a super hero with powers and appearence based on your SDMB username, what could you do and what would you look like? If you’ve got a cool idea for a costume or an origin for your super powers, that’d be neat too.
tremorviolet - I’d be able to make things shake (obviously). I could knock down buildings and make the earth tremble with a touch. I’d have masses and masses of violet hair but I think my costume would be black clingy spandex (but, I’d have the perfect figure for it, of course, since I am a superhero). I can’t really think of a cool origin for my powers tho’…
Scumpup started as a pit-fighter in the fleshpots of Nessus. He earned his name because he was the undisputed master of eye-gouging, nut-crushing, bone-breaking dirty fighting. Now he roams the night, leaving the broken, mutilated bodies of slavers and other who traffic in human flesh to greet the dawn.
RealityChuck had to power to bend reality and create new realities to his liking. He will only use this power for good. At least, for the first hour or so.
**lizardling ** has a mystical power over all reptile and amphibian-kind. Beware the poisonous snakes that **lizardling ** calls up! Beware the attack Komodo dragons (if you can’t run fast enough)! Fear the droves of cane toads invading your secret lair and laying siege to all the roads! Fear the… you get the idea. **lizardling ** also wears slinky green togs that look like scales, in addition to combat boots designed to crush your insteps. (High heels? What high heels? I give them a hearty FEH!)
Where’s Stan Lee when you really need him?
Cal Meacham (with a space) is the disgustly good-looking super-brainy scientist/action hero from the book and movie This Island Earth, so he’s already a hero (if not super). Since I don’t have the space I must be a cheap imitation. Maybe my dimpled chin is fake, or something.
Mild mannered scientist working on extracting lemur serum to regrow lost toenails, LEMUR866 accidentally injected himself with his own experimental lemur serum. Now, the with proportionate size, strength, and ferocity of a lemur, LEMUR866 fights crime and vanquishes injustice, still searching for a way to cure toenail loss…his only chance to save his beloved daughter.

The Mighty Otto has the power to reverse time, but since the same things happen whether time is going backward or forward, no one really notices. So mostly he sits around and sulks in his secret headquarters, The PalinDome.
racer72 will win every automobile race and defeat a bad guy each time. The bad guys to beat include the evil German Red Shumacher that forces his sponsors evil cigarettes on innocent folks, the country boy Junior Earnhardt that is running illegal liquor and The Snake Pruhdomme, he drives cars at over 300 mph in 20 mph school zones.
The A.S.K.I.A. (Augmented Shapeshifting Kobold-Imagined Automaton) would be a human/machine hybrid intelligence with super-strength and morphing abilities, patterned in appearance after the evil demons of German folklore (thanks to my ingenious and demented Nazi designers).
First, he’d aim for RealityChuck, cleverly disgusing himself as a self-replicating nanite dust mote to disrupt his powers. The rest of you would be … too easy.
Papermache Prince, illegitimate son of Paste-pot Pete and an intoxicated supervillain groupie, was adopted by the royal family of Luxembourg. Learning of his biological father’s identity, he sought to avenge Paste-pot Pete’s humiliating defeats at the hands of the Human Torch. His own humiliating defeat at the hands of the Human Torch convinced him that paper mache constructs are poor vehicles and worse weapons against flame-powers. Deported to Luxembourg, he now runs a small gift shop near the Dicks-Lentz Monument (erected in 1903 to honor the national poets Dicks and Lentz).
