I'm recruiting a team of superheroes from the DU Lounge. Whatcha got?
Tell me you name, your powers, what you do in your mild mannered alter ego (if such applies), and please reveal any pertinent knowledge we need to have regarding teen sidekicks in your past--we don't need to repeat the PR disaster that was Commander Golden Shower.

Also, we're entertaining new names for our superhero group. Apparently "Team Pro-Family-but-Still-Pro-Choice" didn't test very well in the focus group and made several of our past member fear we were a front for the DLC. All suggestions welcomed.

8. Fine, but then we can't team you up with PheroMona, the Odor Lady
You would obviously be useless once she used her powers in an enclosed space.

3. The Droopinater
I'm able to drink three cokes and eat an entire pepperoni and sausage pizza in one sitting. I also smoke a pack and a half a day, but can still walk 2 times around the block.

My mild mannered alter ego drives trucks for a living and is a vegetarian.

9. You'd be perfect when we next go up against the Three Pizzateers
Suggested superhero combat banter: "I'm going to send you to jail in 30 minutes, punk, or it's free."

There are people for whom eating lots of chocolate and getting the runs is a real issue.

7. Dubya, the deaf, dumb and blind global cop ...
Edited on Sun Apr-16-06 10:45 AM by TheBaldyMan
Powers : can plough whole companies into the ground. My mysterious falling approval figures can resist all attempts to revive them from a coma. I can fly using nothing but 400 metric tonnes of 'Air Force One'

Alter Ego: A dry-drunk, ex-fratboy cheerleader and trust-fund moocher that allows me to mingle unnoticed amongst the great and the good in the liberal power elite in Washington DC.

teenage side kick: Pickles, a talking dog!


call the group the "Rejects for a New American Century".

14. You sound like one of our villains. Weren't you The Dick Chain's henchman?
Edited on Sun Apr-16-06 11:06 AM by Bucky
That is one slugfest I am not eager to repeat.

13. I am UNIVERSAL-MAN!
I have the power to change channels and adjust the volume on ANY nearby T.V. using only the eerie power of my MIND.

Not the BEST power out there, I know, but it comes in handy when they are tuned in to FOX news at the bar.

Just so long as you can change it to any station, and not just to UPN as your name implies.

23. A. Nony Mouse
I'm small and inconspicuous. I'm able to inflitrate the hideouts of RW evil doers and discover their plans for world domination without them being aware of my presence.
And as a bonus, I can chew through wiring causing havoc with evil doers communication systems.

Let's just say if someone gets between me and the bathroom, it ain't pretty.

Alter ego: mild mannered guy who does smarmy commercials for Imodium.

25. I am Teh Incredible Herk!


I am an expert code maker and breaker, using the Secret Power of Herk to further the complexity of my designs. I also get drunk and seduce evil yet attractive female members of the opposition powers to gain valuable information...:think:...yeah, that's right...information. And I can untangle a mean slinky.

However, first and foremost, I am a herktriot (). If my Secret Power of Herk is threatened, I do whatever it takes to preserve it, no matter what...so don't herk with Herk!

28. The Unwashed Mass
My power is to summon up a bunch of really stinky people...or the odor of of said stinky people anyway.

Trust me, put me on the team and super-villiany will go into immediate and rapid decline.

I'm weak to water though, and soap is my kryptonite. I might also prove to be something of a team cancer so don't put me on the roster with a bunch of brooding, surly do-gooder types please. Oh, and Olfactorman and I aren't a good idea either.

30. I'm the Amazing Threadkiller
I can kill any thread instantly simply by posting in it. My not-so-mild-mannered alter ego is Boozegirl, who sells wine and spirits to the booze-drinking public.

35. I can ruin everyone else's good time.
Or, an expert at raining on parades.

I am uncertain about sidekicks, perhaps one that constantly complains? :shrug:

36. Green Rage
When confronted with animal abusers, environment destroyers, Bushbots, bigoted religious right preachers, or just jackasses in general, I flip out and go into a screaming berserker rage. Just point me at the enemy, and I'll tear them apart-with my teeth, if necessary.

My mild-mannered alter ego is a college student.
