Badger Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 For some reason these 2 words came up in at work conversation today, and I thought they might be useful to create villains out of. Cataract and Pinworm. So what powers would these names inspire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Re: Villains to go with words that came into my head. Blurry eyesight for the first one, weird flash attacks and enhanced sense suppresses. Cloud of floating programmable nanobots for the second one.

Korvar Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Re: Villains to go with words that came into my head. Is not "Cataract" also some kind of flood? (Wikiwikiwiki) Apparently, it's a large waterfall. So, water deluge powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare you ask me from whom sprang Doctor Snail' date=' Ptera Don and United States Marine Corpse[/quote'] Why not? As you can see I get wierd ideas too. (cant believe I never thought of those last 2 you mentioned ) Note: I have to ask. Am I correct in assuming those last 2 were a mutant pteradactyl-like mafia don and an undead ex-military zombie, respectively? (or at similar to such, LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st barbara Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Re: Villains to go with words that came into my head. "Cataract" for me conjures up a water manipulating character. One of the definitions of the word is "A large waterfall, cascade or downpour". "Pinworm" i'm not so sure about; doesn't conjour any images for me.

Bloodstone Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Re: Villains to go with words that came into my head. Pinworm - a former pro wrestler horribly mutated by the Slug. His entire body is now segmented with a hydrostatic skeleton, granting him incredible strength and flexibility. His limbs have mutated into tendrils. He has no face, just a mouth full of hundreds of razor sharp teeth. He secretes mucous from his skin that allows him to cling to almost any surface or to slip out of the tightest bound and holds. He can tunnel quickly. He also has a suit of stretching powers, allowing him to grapple things from a distance (and even from underground!) or constrict with incredible power. He's sees the world by sensing vibrations transmitted through the ground. Alternately, if you don't like the pro wrestler background, you could always give him a damage shield that consists of needle thin spikes. It might be considered going overboard to combine the two...

Here is another offering from Death Tribble. His USMCorpse. This one was a lot of fun to do. Something about doing research and the difference in Viet Nam era uniforms to the current ones was sorta surprising... like I just kinda forgot what it looked like. It is Pterra Don!

Badger Posted August 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Re: Villains to go with words that came into my head. yep, death tribble not too far off from what I expected. Should that make me scared of my own mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
