GCMorris Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 The group wants to play a team of pathetic 'super' heroes. Similar to the Inferior Five or Mystery Men. We found a GM who is willing to run it for us even though we have a lot of players. The group consists of several reject heroes who have banded together. Some of the names are a bit insensitive but the not overtly so. The theme is that all the real heroes have disappeared and we are all that is left to defend the universe. So far we have: Retired Man: An aging Batman who lives in a nursing home. Very irritable. Has very random items in his utility belt. Special Ed: An underwhelming average guy who is kind of good at dirty infighting but isn't fully sane. Thinks he is a professional wrestler. Dogface: A scrawny werewolf who is really good at taking a beating and gets better the longer the fight goes on. Two Tons of Fun: A fat guy with a little bit of strength and Density Increase. Very slow. Rampaging Redneck: A dumb hick who has combat skills and an axe handle. Will spit tobacco juice in your eyes. He was a MLB prospect but it went down the tubes and he became the town drunk/protector of sleepy old Bomont, West Virginia. Powder: A magical elfish girl who creates dust with varying properties. The magic powder isn't very powerful and its effects are quite random. Blue Man: Yep. A blue guy who duplicates into three blue guys. Mute. Peroxide Blonde: A really dumb pretty girl who has no abilities aside from dumb luck. Insane levels of dumb luck. Pretty good at stabbing with her nail file. Guy in Charge: the leader who has a really good ability to strategize. He is physically disabled but has the power of near total invulnerability. He also has Danger Sense.

GCMorris Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Maybe I should have mentioned the fact that we need a name. Kind of derogatory reflecting on the pathetic ability of the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy in Charge: the leader who has a really good ability to strategize. He is physically disabled but has the power of near total invulnerability. I'd try THE SCREW-UPS That would be a good name that fits them You may want to include a super bimbo type to the team, a real busty beauty but total airhead.

wcw43921 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Perhaps they could be called the High Emergency Replacement Operavtives--or HEROs. Assuming, of course, they don't want to be completely self-depreciating. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
