Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I did this one more than eight years ago, but I just found it again on one of my oldest websites: Super Baloo! Baloo (of Tale Spin) as a super hero. (It's been a long while since I've watched Tale Spin or Id've had a long-winded description of the character here.)

Re: Super Transportation Even in the '30s, superguys needed super transportation... The Multi-Car In 1936, Doctor "Mad" Maddington designed a fantastic vehicle capable of travelling along the ground, in the air, under the sea, and even through space. After the Justice Team of America brought Dr. Maddington to justice, they confiscated this engine of destruction and began using it (only) for good. Eventually, Dr. Maddington graduated from Professor Fate's academy for the Criminally Insane and now works to assist the JTA in their neverending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way (with apologies to George Reeves ). The Multi-Car is equipped with pulse-jet (rocket) tubes just behind the main cabin for propulsion in air and space. The rear wheel steers and the front wheels provide propulsion in ground mode, while an electrically-driven pump propels the Multicar underwater at remarkable speeds. The Multi-Car is armed with a 75mm cannon which can fire signal flares or other ordnance when required. Flash Gordon would be jealous.

Re: Handling day and night on infinite plane? Perhaps the infinite plane is sort of an infinite version of an Alderson disk* with stars bobbing up and down through holes spaced at regular (or irregular) intervals on its surface? *I've always wanted to use an Alderson Disk in a Science-Fiction or Fantasy setting ever since I heard about it.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I don't like Fabrique du Herois' mustaches, and wasn't doing a portrait of Nietzsche anyhow. Nothing against mustaches (I wear one) but Fabrique du Herois' 'staches obscure the character's mouth in nearly every case. A Nazi Superhero would have to embody the ideal of the "master race" being fit to rule over the weak (and would have to be fanatically loyal to the Nazi leadership not to be considered a threat). DC Comics' Superman character was sort of an opposite to the Ubermann, a champion of the weak and oppressed rather than a lord and master over all. The Nazis would have viewed (approvingly) their superman as a dire wolf among wolves, preying upon the sheep that lesser men are, at least in their philosophy). Besides, Nietzsche had dark hair and Nazi Germany's main superhero would have to be bonde and blue-eyed. If not, then Nietzschemann would have to wear a hood and goggles to protect his identity and hide his dark hair and possibly-not-blue eyes.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine the Axis superteam: Nietzschemann (Kal-L landed in Bavaria in this universe), Die Fledermaus (Batman), La Furia (Wonder Woman, Italian-style), 隼 (Hayabusa-San, or Japanese Hawkman), and 精神の孤 (Spirit-fox or Kitsune, a semi-human sorceress).* *You see? I said I'd do these guys later and guess what? It's later!

Re: A Thread for Random Videos Yet another cheerful ditty by Tom Lehrer:

Re: Mundane Superhheroes (and Villains!) Three before bedtime: Super Santa! The man who would be Santa was originally a nursing home patient with Alzheimer's. Late one Christmas Eve he was visited by another white-bearded old man who restored his mind (but not his memory) and gave him powers modeled along those reputed to be wielded by Santa Claus. Now this man without a name, who only speaks the words "Ho, ho, ho!" transports to wherever he is needed to oppose those with naughty intentions! If you're a bad-guy you really better watch out! Super Santa is coming to town (and man, is he ever pissed)! Super Santa Can leap to any rooftop without error, anywhere in the world. He can gain entry without alerting any security devices and has been known to beat up known criminals before depositing them on the front porch of an interested police station, wrapped up in a nice, big red cloth bag that always seems just strong enough to prevent escape. He has highly detailed intelligence on any target he decides to focus his attention upon and seems to acquire this knowledge out of thin air. Psuper Psychiatrist Eugene Levitz was a therapist with a small, but thriving practice. Shortly after the Event, he noticed that his patients seemed to be making incredible leaps of progress with every session. Soon, he was out of patients and considering a move to a larger town. While visiting Detroit, he took a wrong turn and found himself lost in what appeared to be a very dangerous neighborhood. Eugene stopped at an alleyway to ask a local citizen for directions. It turns out that the man was a lookout for a gang that was trying to break in to a pawn shop. Eugene talked with the young man, and gradually the gang members began wandering over, prepared to steal this bald white guy blind. That didn't happen. Before long every gang member was hanging on Eugene's every word, wanting to know how to improve his lot in life and become a self-actualizing person. Within an hour, the gang had decided to go straight and join the Guardian Angels. Four members threw away their drugs and drug paraphenalia, vowing to never abuse drugs again. And they didn't! Eugene marveled at how quickly he had been able to convince these thugs that life was good and they had the power to make it so for themselves. He decided to offer his services to the Detroit Police as a counsellor and negotiator. Psuper Psychiatrist is an incredibly optimistic and uplifting speaker, helping people to figure out why they are dissatisfied with life and discovering what they can realistically do to make their lives more fulfilling. Eugene seems to be tuned into some deep well of wisdom that helps people confront their fears, eliminate antisocial tendencies, and generally enjoy life and the company of others. Green Bugzapper Jean Le Drapeau Noir was backpacking in the wilds of southeastern Alaska during the height of the mosquito season. He had fallen down a hill, losing his backpack with all his insect repellants, mosquito netting, tents, etc. The mosquitos were very quickly driving Jean around the bend when the Event happened. Jean began emitting a greenish glow and giving off noisy little sparks, each one of which seemed to be the death knell of an individual mosquito. Jean cackled gleefully, and began shouting "Wooo-hooo! I am the Green Bugzapper! All vermin fear me, for I am zappy!" Green Bugzapper isn't much of a crime fighter, but has been known to zap violent criminals who prey upon individuals. He hasn't much of an attention span and hasn't been committed to a loony bin only because he's (mostly) harmless unless you're trying to beat someone up or if you happen to be a cloud of stinging or biting insects.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I just finished watching as much Justice League as I could find on the web and decided to do yet another analogue to the JLA. This time, the Freedom League of America was a response to the Axis superteam composed of Nietzsche-mann (Kal-L landed in Bavaria in this universe), Die Fledermaus (Batman), La Furia (Wonder Woman, Italian-style), 隼 (Hayabusa-San, or Japanese Hawkman), and 精神の孤 (Spirit-fox, a semi-human sorceress).* The Freedom League of America: Luthor: an American Scientist whose eexperiments with glowing green crystals endowed him with superpowers of his own, including super-strength, incredible durability and endurance, plust the ability to emit radiation from his eyes that can heat objects and seems to be poisonous to Nietzsche-mann. Siberian Tiger: An exotic beauty on loan from "Uncle Joe", she is almost as powerful as Luthor but has much quicker reflexes. Golden Dragon: Born in America to Chinese parents, Golden Dragon uses his brilliant mind, extraordinary martial training, and useful gadgets to wreak havoc on the criminal world. Eclipse: Half-shadow himself, he walks on the border between light and shadow, interposing himself between the creatures of darkness and those they seek to harm. Solomon G-man: An FBI agent who was killed in the line of duty and dumped into a mystical swamp. Brought to life on a Tuesday by magics unknown, He calls himself Solomon G-man. He is a terror to those who would harm the innocent. Sapphire: Sapphire came into possession of a mystical ring that gives her a variety of telekinetic powers. It must be charged periodically from a Sapphire Lantern that came with the ring. Girl-Rilla: Once only a nurse to a famous surgeon, Girl-Rilla has the ability to transform into an 8-foot-tall Gorilla, in which form she combats crime. Although she is supernaturally tough, agile and strong, she will usually try to talk evildoers into giving up in the hope she won't have to beat them senseless (again). * I'll do these other guys later. Can someone who reads Japanese please check Hayabusa and Kitsune to see if I have the right characters? Babelfish doesn't seem to be able to translate these characters into english so I have no idea whether these translations are quite correct.

Re: The "True" Origin of Mechanon Repped! Actually, the first general-purpose electronic computer was ENIAC. Another famous computer of the day (developed by the people who created ENIAC) was UNIVAC, so, especially by the late '50s and early '60s, any computer on TV or in the comics had a name that recalled that -iac or -ac ending (UNIBLAB, from the Jetsons, was an exception to this rule). Since Brainiac appeared in 1958 at the dawn (or at least sometime before lunch) of the Silver Age, it's logical that "Ultivac" was given a similar-sounding name.
