[QUOTE="Chaldfont, post: 2693377, member: 1472"] We have a 1st ed M&M side game going. We call it "The Secondhand Heroes". Its kind of a Mystery Men-like lighthearted satire of superhero comics. The premise is that the Freedom League left to fight The War on Terror leaving Freedom City helpless against their supervillain foes. So a bunch of second-rate superheroes step up to fill the void. We have: MASS: A nuclear physicist with the power to alter his own density or that of anything he touches after a cyclotron accident. He becomes less intelligent as his density increases. He drives the team around in a nuclear-powered schoolbus after destroying SOCKET's Chevette on a mission. SOCKET: A teenage comic-book geek who lives in his mother's basement, SOCKET gained the capability to mimic others' super powers after accidently sticking his finger in a light socket. SOCKET frequently uses his limitless comic knowledge to come up with new ways to defeat his enemies. This player frequently gains hero points for coming up with all kinds of crazy comic book titles. EL CONQUISTADOR: After discovering a sentient alien powersuit in a Mayan temple, EL CONQUISTADOR turned to fighting crime. The only problem--he doesn't know how to use the suit. The player came up with a random table for his powers and rolls every time he wants to use a power. The concept of EC was inspired by "The Greatest American Hero". The powersuit usually looks like a Mexican wrestler's costume. The Secondhand Heroes have defeated Player 2 (from that excellent book Crooks!) who was trying to steal the first shipment of XStation 3's to sell them early on Ebay. When they met up with him at the warehouse, he beat them soundly with Donkey Kong and Pacman ghosts. They were able to capture him later after going to a comic shop and reading all the video game strategy guides they could get their hands on. They've also battled really crappy ninjas (EC drove the schoolbus over their leader after MASS incorporealized the car the ninja had jumped on) and a Giant Robot sent to retrieve EC's super suit (which used a junk yard to assemble a jury-rigged mech around itself).
