Down on his luck, he sold everything but his last guitar. He decided to rebuild himself into the best guitar player in the world. That led to secret techniques to enhance his playing. Kurt joined the nine to search for more songs and stories. He doesn't even mind he's more famous as the Guitar Man than as his real name.

csyphrett Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! I like the wandering theme. Let's go farther afield. Seven heroes were caught in a teleportation accident and blasted across the universe to a strange planet. They have no way of getting home and have decided to help the natives as much as possible. They are the Shooting Stars, the best humanity has to offer. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! And lastly there is Hope. Judy Phillips embodies the hope of a new life and of forgiveness and new civilisations and of boldly going where no one has gone before. she is a Trekkie and dresses in a quasi Star Fleet medical uniform. Her power allows her a degree of empathy and of changing others minds through empathy. She helps Pure and the Priestess with their attempts to aid the Green Ghost. New Team: Before the name was lost to a boy band Hot Young Teens were a 80s-90s super hero group. Detail six members of the team during its lifetime, one member for each poster, and what happened to them. They were like an 80s-90s comic team so drag in any sensibilities you wish. NOTE: There were more than six members during the life of the team but what we want here is just a flavour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! If there was ever a hero who was a rip off of the X-Man Wolverine it was Kid Claw. However the Kid lacked Wolverine's restraint and consequently in his career got into a lot of trouble. What really led to his downfall was his casual use of claws on unarmed and relatively unarmoured targets despite what his team mates, the police, the team's handlers or realy anyone else said. This is the guy who after all put Ren the Space Weasel out of commission for a good 18 months during a clash between Hot Young Teens and the Wild Feral Battalion. But hey! Kid Claw was cool, man ! So he often brazened it out and got away with it. Other heroes tried talking to him as the villains were getting upset and putting a price on his head which could lead to innocent deaths or the death of team mates. Did he listen ? No. Until in 1994 he went up against Miss Kitty and out came the claws. Her dodging skills infuriated him but he did get a scratch in that drew blood. 'You'll pay for that' she told him before she escaped but villains always say stuff like that, am I right ? Only this time his luck ran out. See Miss Kitty had been out of the game awhile as she had been pregnant and had given birth. So when her husband heard what had happened, all hell broke loose. See Miss Kitty was a martial artist type. Her husband was not. He was a brick. His name ? Visgoth. The team got scrambled to fight a bunch of villains causing havoc downtown but realised too late that almost all of them had some sort of grudge against the team and were keeping the rest of the team away from Kid Claw. That's when Visgoth turned up. The beating gets put up on Youtube every now and again. It's pretty brutal stuff. A guy with claws versus a guy in armour. And the latter is all business. He broke Kid Claws wrists, his kneecaps, his arms, his legs, his ribs. He smashed his face in and knocked his teeth out. He broke his pelvis. Then the villains disengaged. Visgoth faced the heroes and told them. 'You did not deal with this, so I had to. If one of you tries for revenge on this we will kill all of you'. With that the villains walked away while the heroes took their mangled comrade to hospital. The media gave him little sympathy. The doctors managed to save him but he went into a coma which outlasted the team. And although his body repaired itself he was never the same. The story goes he could not live with that and committed suicide. The other story is that Miss Kitty dropped him off a bridge as an anniversary present to her husband.

Christopher Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Re: Create a Hero Theme Team! Unity During the catastrophe of Chernobyl released massive amount of radioactivity, but you hardly ever hear about people getting superpowers from that event. The East-German going by the name Unity alegedly has them from that event. But they only surfaced two years later and he used them to escape the GDR. Since the GDR had the tendency to make examples of citicens, he choose to use a code name and go beyond the otehr country. But his heart never left the home. So when the cold war ended and the Berlin Wall fell, he made his way back to a unified germany (like always has been his dream). He had energy projection powers.
