I read a Perry Mason book recently that told all about this new amazing chemical called "detergent" and how it worked to remove oil and grease.  It all had to start somewhere and show up for the first time, we just take it all for granted now.
 
That was one of my favorite bits from Pulp Hero: the timeline list of products that existed in that era, and the  ones that did not.  I liked it so much I did an adapted version for Western Hero.  Its kind of surprising the stuff that was around that far back in time.  But most snack foods we recognize and eat now were 20th century inventions.

One of my long-term gaming buddies was an absolute master at making jerky, with a backyard smokehouse and a whole circle of people he'd send the occasional batch to in exchange for donations of basic materials - especially venison.  He died unexpectedly of a heart attack last winter, and this has been a sad reminder of better times that will never come again.
 
That said, I'm partial to nuts myself, even plain old peanuts.  You might need to be careful of allergies around strangers (nut allergies are no joke and can be deadly) but for home games with people you know are safe they're a go-to for me.  They were better with some home-made jerky though.  Sigh. 

Flip the concept with a team of aquatic/amphibious/Atlantean supers called the Coast Guard.  They keep an eye on the land/sea interface from the ocean side of things, and they've had it up to here with land-dwellers ruining their territory.  Noteworthy for having dumped a trash barge in NYC Central Park and heaving a leaking supertanker into a Texan oil field well clear of the coastline.  When they say "You aren't dumping that here any more" they mean it.  On less terrifying note, they've also done more to deal with invasive aquatic species than the rest of the planet combined, and have a track record for rescues at sea that tops even their US namesake.
 
Seen as villains by some, heroes by others.

Thanks to everyone for their entries. The winner is @Michael Struck

Grenadier sold an "invisible stalker figure" that was a lead base with clawed footprints sculpted in, although IIRC it was part of a set of comedy figures like a dead wererat in giant mousetrap and a "half elf" that had been bisected vertically, leaving just one side of the poor guy standing there on his one remaining leg. 
 
Many years later GW cribbed the same trick for Frodo with the Ring on, although they also did him as a clear resin fig.

This member of the group can be a show stopper as he stops fights before they even start by saying 'No'. 'Just no'. 'Are you even thinking about what you are doing ? It's wrong. We are not doing this'
It is a form of mind control or transformation in that it stops people in their tracks as they do not want to fight for no good reason. (if, for example, someone is trying to commit murder then that is a good reason to fight).
Allegedly he got his superpowers during a debate when someone was trying to sway the masses present (and was succeeding) in following a horrible course of action. Common sense would seem to say that you should have just said 'No' to the proposition and shut it down before it started to take root. And that is just what happened.

In some settings, a FTL drive would be about the ultimate prize.

Who do you think created and have the bomb planted? Part of the "for short" profile does contain Mr. Glass from Unbreakable/Split/Glass trinity of movies. Mr. Glass of course is obsessed with finding superbeings in real life by creating 'accidents' and 'disasters'. Sounds familiar? The Chief from the Doom Patrol is a heroic-ish version of the idea.
 
As for him running a Dating Service, he could be finding a woman or somebody who would understand his theory about misery and evolution and power gain. He must of rented a resteraunt for a huge speed dating event (perfect place to get lots of victims together for the bomb to target).
Well, his power profile includes Variable Special Effects and Variable Advantages. But not Variable Power Pool.
 
Eskimo Nell? Have to look that up. Is the character SFW?
 
Just looked it up. The character is defently NSFW.

Shameless repost ->
 
 

Discharge is the team energy blaster who can shoot various blasts from his, ahem, neather reagen. Discharge gained his powers when an energy bomb exploded during a date.
 
Discharge must wear a special codpiece to contain the various energies within his...nether reagents. He still dates, trying to find a woman who could survive sex with him (as he can't actually produce um...let's not go forward with this thought...)
 
This is basically Codpiece. 

I wonder what one would use for Elemental miniatures? Earth is easiest. Water might require some sort of gelatin base. Air is tricky, but it has got nothing on Fire.

I have heard of crafters using dental stone for crafting. It's supposed to be lighter and stronger than Plaster of Paris.

Yeah, a lot of minis gamers tend to spend time at stores considering whether they could make something interesting enough out of the packaging to justify the purchase of something they don't really need/want.  I must have seen a hundred Bubble Tape containers repurposed as Hoth shield generators over the years.  Hoarding can be a bit of an issue with that branch of the hobby.     

It is beyond obvious at this point that Hasbro is desperately trying to bring microtransactions to D&D and will do whatever it takes to make that happen.  (It's almost hard to blame them when you see that a single sparkly horse in WoW made tens of millions of dollars.)  The only question is whether they'll destroy the fanbase first or not.

The Masquerade:  Typical "five-man band" super team with a mix of power sets and distinctly different looks, but they have an ace in the hole.  All of them have secondary powers (illusions, limited shapeshifting, etc.) that let them easily imitate each other and/or their current enemies at the drop of a hat, plus a telepathic link that keeps their impersonations coordinated to avoid friendly fire.  If you figure out who's who they'll be at a bit of a disadvantage in terms of raw power, but they've practiced their tricks enough that it isn't easy keep track for long.  

"Play it where it lies" also has some added complications there. 

In all probability, The Pit has been walled off from the golf course.  Of course, a stray golf ball might land in it.

Another idea for terrain crafters
 
 

"Games Workshop subsidized our base.  It'd be a pretty good deal if we weren't contractually obliged to use 'Blood For the Blood God, Skulls For the Skull Throne!' as our battle cry."

That’s three minutes of being at full fighting response time with the ability to take recoveries. SPD can be dropped if not doing anything, so that could be quite a long time holding a breath.
