50 state initiative

[Zoken]

not a problem. I was trying to find things that Arkansas would be proud of... you have no idea how hard that is. This state SUCKS!

 

[3dman27]

isn't arkansas ehere the marvel hero RAZORBACK hails from?

 

[Zoken]

There's a hero called Razorback? I didn't know that. That's what I was going for with Hawg (They go by a number of nicknames down here, Hawgs, Pig-sooey, Arkansas, Razorbacks, Tiger Food (now I'm just being mean))

 

[3dman27]

he first appeared in SPIDER -MAN

 

[Zoken]

I had no idea. on this team though, Hawg, wasn't going to actually LOOK like a warthog, just be enhanced and give off that kinda... thing you know?

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.

This actually makes me feel better about living in Oklahoma.

Orange Crush - Former college football player for the fictional Miami team called the Crush (team colors orange and black), would be pro, until he blew out his knee, but is excited to become a famous superhero. Ability to manipulate his size and mass, his knee is his weakness since it is a very big weak spot when he is in his increased size. Powers derived from a glass of pym particle radiated orange juice, unkown how the OJ got radiated.

The name Orange Crush is a play on the hero YellowJacket, YellowJacket is one of Crush's favorite superheroes.

Yeah Arkansas did suck when I lived there for those few months. I'm from Texas, so i'd be pretty funny to have some kind of left wing liberal hippie duo or something like that policing the state.

Hemp and Herb lol

All of a sudden I got a sneaking suspicion that the GLA will not be the SHIELD sanctioned team for Wisconson.... That wouldn't be there luck.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Somebody had a cool idea to have a weekly book come out that showed off the superteam of each state

 

[Lt. Figgnuts]

I live in Ohio... and the only hero that makes me think "Ohio" is Squirrel Girl, since we have tons of Squirrels around here. And being that I doubt they'd separate them, I'll say bring the GLA to Ohio!

Without even jumping into the conversation...

<3 that avatar.

Seriously.

Best. Game. Ever.

Team Strike-Back

Major Pain: wearing army fatigues this former drill seargent come super heroe has the power of invulnerabilty and great leadership skills. He cultivated his nickname while training soldiers in bootcamp. he is known as a Hardass with a heart of gold.

The Mechanic: a super-genius with several inventions at his disposal. he's a flirt, despite being in a semi-commited relationship. he's desperate to prove that he's "As smart as all those other super-geniuses". Somewhat of a Narcissist

Cast-Iron: wearing a Stark-Tech knock off, this guy is a hard drinking, woman chasing, chain smoking play boy. he has money, and guts and is willing to use both to protect those around him.

Straight-Arrow: an archer with an attitude he is proud of his native american heritage and shows it off in his costume. he is also an excellent hand to hand fighter.

Calico: a mutant girl with feline DNA, she is a flirtatious hottie who likes to show off her new body, which wasn't this good before her mutation kicked in. she has the ability to turn back into her other self, but refuses to out of insecurity

Buzz: after being injected with irradiated humming bird blood, this momma's boy became a heroe, like his mother wanted. only she still doesn't think he's good enough.

Magistress: a practicing sorceress, she uses her powers as a hero to look out for her twin brother, Buzz. She is more grounded and self assured than her brother, and tries to keep him out of depression.

Synthetic Synthia: based on LMD technology she is a wholly different type of simulacrum. she is able to mimic the appearance of any humanoid she comes in contact with. she also posses strength and invulnerability. She was built by The Mechanic to prove his skills. while she has free will and the ability to tell he's probably going to (if he hasn't already) cheat on her, she has loyalty to him hard wired into her circutry... which is depressing because she's madly in love... with the Magistress, who loves her back.

Well, apparently we're getting the Rangers instead.

 

[Zoken]

bonus points for those who can figure out who I based my team on? they are an intentional rip off.

 

[Red Mask]

I wonder if the heroes will be traded up in the same way cops and government workers get transfered around?

 

[Zoken]

more like the way pro-athletes get traded i would imagine

Only if they're willing to change their sweats to fit the state.

i have to say i like the idea of spreading the super powers around to other states its probably the only GOOD IDEA out of this civl war crap i still wonder who's coming to florida

 

[Tropico]

It's so embarrassing how they stereotyped the heroes for the Texas team. They only needed to do a crossover with the Final Fantasy games and stick a Cactuar on the team to make the whole "Wild West/Cowboy motif" thing even more obvious. They should recruit a Kymellian or one of the High Evolutionary's Man-Beasts evolved from a horse also.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oooh, it should be a Kymellian who says "varmint" a lot, too.

I wonder how many members of the Florida team will be over 60 and/or Cuban...

 

[Memphis Slim]

For Indiana????


TONY DUNGY t:

Maybe that guy from the Young Allies in Counter-Earth, I forget his name. He even has chaps with spots like cows have.

I really, really wanna see what the Hawaii and Alsaka team are gonna be like. I figure they'll stick Volcana on Hawaii and maybe revive Javelin and stick him on Alaska since he's an Innuit.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'd love to see who's reppin my state...Delaware. As crappy as the team'll be, I bet they'd kick the Rhode Island team's ass

Not the AVENGERS... but a branch.
