Cheshire The Green Man Warp Razor Purity Persuasion Schrodinger's Cat If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? ??? Occam's Razor ??? ???

Cheshire The Green Man Warp Razor Purity Persuasion Schrodinger's Cat If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? ??? Occam's Razor ??? ??? By chance are they all paradoxes? We have a winner. But note that Occam's Razor is not paradoxical. That character was giving me a problem but I've finally figured out what was wrong with him. He needed another power, the power to create a duplicate of himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice9 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Re: Guess the inspiration behind this superteam! Warp would be Xeno's Paradox, then? Still not sure about Purity and Persuasion, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Re: Guess the inspiration behind this superteam! Purity It is unwise to attack Purity, the team's healer since her forcefield is apparently impenetrable and she can easily disable any opponent by teleporting them anywhere she wants (never anywhere harmful). She is by far the most powerful of them, but even though she verbally tries to persuade them not to commit crimes, she never stops them or leaves. Persuasion A silver-tongued compulsive liar, Persuasion can confuse and deceive anyone he talks to. Purity would be the classic God Paradox - how do you reconcile Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnibenevolence? Persuasion is the grandfather of all paradoxes, the Creten Paradox or Liar's Paradox. I am lying to you. And this sentence is false. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary thinks the one you missed is the Grandfather Paradox (not to be confused with the grandfather of paradoxes...) - Anilosenex, the gender bending dimension hopping time traveller who killed his own grandfather - several times...

Lucius Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Re: Guess the inspiration behind this superteam! Only three members, but I bet someone gets it: Phantom Horseman usually comes in from above. His usual tactic is to try to drive someone into the arms of his teammates. Firetrap is an everburning humanoid figure who likes to encircle people with a wall of flame. The One In The Blackness lurks in a perpetual Darkness field and has never been seen. Those dragged into the darkness are never seen again either. Lucius Alexander Trying to keep the palindromedary from giving it away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Samson Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Re: Guess the inspiration behind this superteam! I think this one is easy so I will keep the descriptions brief. Vital - life based powers (such as plant growth and healing) Shine - light and heat based powers Wither - death based powers (such as withering and life draining) Frost - weather and based powers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Samson Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: Guess the inspiration behind this superteam! it's the four seasons' date=' Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter respectively[/quote'] You got it. I think I should have used the Fantastic Four as a template to make it less obvious. Something like... Mr. Life - plant based metamorph with stretching powers The Human Sun - a flying energy projector with light and heat based powers The Heap - a heap of decaying vegetation with invulnerability and the ability to wither objects (that sometimes gives the appearance of super strength). Cold Girl (or Woman) - can generate ice and blinding storms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
input.jack Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Re: Guess the inspiration behind this superteam! Ill give it a go... Aphrodite: Beautiful redhead who uses her looks to get close enough to people to use her martial arts skills on them. Apollo: Leader of the group: a tall, athletic blond man. Brave, tough, and very strong, and a good all-around fighter. Smarter than most people give him credit for. Cerebus: Giant hunting dog with uncanny intelligence and unwavering loyalty to the group. Athena: Brilliant geek-girl who can expertly analyze people, places, and things. Inventor and gadgeteer. Mercury: A lean man who can run extremely quickly, but his speed comes at the cost of a voracious appetite. Inquisitive and lucky. Not a great tactician.

Onyx - A stony-skinned brick with a sense of superiority. Hunter - A ninja with a black sense of humour. Chaos - A former hood rat granted energy blasting powers.

dmjalund Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Re: Guess the inspiration behind this superteam! The first character's main power is to teleport others. He spends a lot of time in combat moving innocents out of harm's way. The second character is a super-soldier and interface between the party and their government patrons. The third character is an invulnerable survivalist type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His telekinesis isn't very powerful but it helps him assemble devices in a hurry Persuasion: An empath who can receive and project emotions.
