50 state initiative

[SLVRSR4]

I haven't read any of civil war but i would like to have Runaways protect Wisconsin even though i think they aren't involved in this. Or the Young Avengers but remember i haven't read anything but that is what i would do if i had the choice.

I can't wait to see what "heroes" Tennessee gets stuck with. I live in the Volunteer State, so I'll make up my own.

1. Inbred Jed: A lovable Solomon Grudy hillbilly dude. Not too bright, so just point him in a direction and he'll smash somethin'. Trouble with doors. Likes UT football, and has a way with hound dogs. Wears a lot of orange football jersey like clothes.

2. Rhinestone: Big-haired Dolly Parton like heroine with a sonic twang that blasts things.

3. Bluesman: Empath/telepath from Beale Street in Memphis - The leader of the team.

4. The 'Possumm: Think of the Man Thing/Wild Child in Bib Overalls. Scary sharp teeth with an affinity for cat food left outside

5. Convoy: A mutant with metal-moving powers. Can make your V8 engine hum like a honeybee stuck in jam. Likes badass robots and big trucks. Dresses like Elvis on weekends at the drive in theater he owns and for performances at the local nursing home every third Saturday.

6. The Mullet: Pyrokinetic dude with a "business-up-front, party-in-the-back" hair-do. Used to clean chemical tanks. Controls flame emitted from a cigarette lighter with a pic of a Ford pick-up on it. Likes to yell "Freebird" as his battle cry. Has a healing factor. Gets his teeth knocked out a lot, but they grow back. Creates a great distance attack--achieved by lighting his own farts.

LOL!

This both offensive and funny at the same time, I dig it.

 

[Zoken]

The Bluesman and Convoy sound really cool

 

[Nasty-B]

I think "Hell Billy" would be a better name for Inbred Jed.

wouldn't the runaways have been forced to register by now ar join caps group?
considering what richocetys been trying to teache them to live normally maybe he having them block registration via restraining orders

I can go with that.

The scary thing is that Convoy is based on a real guy that is an Elvis impersonator and runs a drive-in theater (no control of metal that I know of though). I about wet myself the first time I went into the concession stand to get a corn dog and saw THE KING behind the popcorn machine wearing a Hawaiian shirt and his signature gold rimmed sunglasses.

Also, somewhat inspired by Jesco....

[2112ad]

The Bluesman was inspired by Robert Johnson, of course - but if he wasn't a telepath/empath - he could be a demon fighter type of character (bring in the selling your soul at the crossroads themes). The only serious character out of the bunch.

Also inspired by The Bone Man in the paperback Ghost Road Blues

 

[Zoken]

Convoy could be a serious character. Okay, so he has a couple of day jobs to pay the bills. who says a mutant can't have day jobs he enjoys?

Hell Billy... raised from the swamps as a witches servant, she makes an error in giving the zombie free-will. he is now an unstoppable engine of power, with an IQ of 50

 

[Doc Destruction]

And now to figure out how to get US 1 out of my head!

Those are really funny.

 

[2112ad]

Those are really funny.

Not quite as funny as some of the sorry-ass supervillians that are stuck in Tennessee.

1. Moon-Pie: An angry single-mom worker in the Chattanooga Moon Pie bakery reacts to the marshmallow treat in an superhuman way. Think of a cross between Mr. Fantastic and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man that is female, and has finally found a chance to get ahead in life with her newfound powers. "Better than playin' the lottery," she says.

2. Skidmark: A bitter tobacco farmer transformed into a evil being by mixture of TVA provided fertilizer mixed with maneur from genetically altered livestock. Like Clayface, but smells a lot worse. Easy to track down, leaves smelly skidmarks behind. Hates it when he's called Mr. Hanky.

A kick ass villian would be a version of the Bell Witch. That would be cool.

Another set of baddies could be vampires. A local author wrote a book about Butler, TN that was flooded when the TVA dammed the area and created lakes for hydroelectric power. In the book, the town was supposedly full of vampires, and that was why it was flooded.

Members of the Serpent Society could end up stuck in TN. Southerners hate snakes...and lightning.

Hell Billy could have been created by the Bell Witch .... from An American Haunting

Are you intending to insinuate something here?

 

[2112ad]

Ooooops! I'm not referring to a mod.


It was an incomplete thought about info from a focus group I helped with. The top two fears of the southerners we interviewed actually were copperhead snakes and lightning.

Electro's car may break down on I-40 near Nashville or somethin'

 

[3dman27]

could we get some serious adeas for a team to balance out the gag ones please/

 

[Zoken]

Not my team, but what can I say, I saw potential. this is supposed to be serious for you 3D

1. Inbred Jed: Supposed to be the ultimate man, a mad scientist used eugenics to create what he believed to be the super-man. what he recieved instead was a enormous being with strength on par with the Hulk, and intelligence that wasn't much better.

2. Rhinestone: Lounge singer who was kidnapped by Hydra soldiers. they subjected her to various experiments and the ultimate result was the ability to transmute her self into living Diamond. their experiments had an unexpected effect of protecting her mind from any and all forms of mind control (except mystical). she broke free.

3. Bluesman: Empath/telepath from Beale Street in Memphis - The leader of the team. fairly mysterious. his origins are unknown, but it is known that his powers are mystical in nature and may have something to do with his trumpet.

4. The 'Possumm: Think of the Man Thing/Wild Child. His origins are unknown as is his level of intelligence. the shape of his mouth and jaw prevent human speach and his fingers aren't very adept at holding writing impliments. it is believed he is a being that just rose out of the back woods one day. so far he is devoted to Rhinestone.

5. Convoy: A mutant with metal-moving powers. Can make your V8 engine hum like a honeybee stuck in jam. Likes badass robots and big trucks. Dresses like Elvis on weekends at the drive in theater he owns and for performances at the local nursing home every third Saturday.

6. The Mullet: Pyrokinetic dude with a "business-up-front, party-in-the-back" hair-do. Used to clean chemical tanks. Controls flame emitted from a cigarette lighter with a pic of a Ford pick-up on it. Likes to yell "Freebird" as his battle cry. Has a healing factor. Gets his teeth knocked out a lot, but they grow back.

 

[3dman27]

thanks any more serious heroe for the initiative/

 

[Zoken]

I live in Arkansas, so Believe me when I tell you this is the best they can hope for... and I am being serious.

The Hawg: A kid who tried out every year for the AR state team, but failed. he subjected himself to power-treatments and came out looking like a burly wolverine. Lot's of heart, not the sharpest tool in the box.

Breaker: a Mutant descended from one of the Central high 9. she has the ability to create barriers that form in the middle of solid objects instantly breaking them without too much effort. even adamantium is subject to her powers. She's very proactive and very self assured.

Bill Clinton: no, that's no codename. Arkansans took a vote and decided they wanted Bill Clinton to continue representing the state to the country, but this time as a super-hero. he was given a facsimile of Iron Man Armor but in red and white and black.

braker sounds good but whats the central high 9?

 

[supermarvelman]

Evergreen - Park Ranger out of Montana, plant manipulation, wood-transformation, all wood is weightless to him.

 

[Nasty-B]

I better warn you, some people around here will want to give you a hard time because you said "wood-transformation" and "all wood is weightless to him." They'll try to turn it into a crack about impotence or something; but not me, I'm too mature for that.

 

[Zoken]

The first 9 black students to attend Central High in Little Rock, AR. big victory for civil rights back in the day. Hell, the Governor even tried to prevent those students from going, but they made it anyway.

 

[supermarvelman]

They interpret it however they want.

Wood Transformation - Think Colossus, but wood.
I think it would just be cool if anything with wood in it would be weightless to him.

I'm sure there are tons of impotent jokes and gay jokes that can be made, I dont care.
