Superheroes of the Trust OOC Thread II

[Elric]

Pharaoh -- M

Pharoah is based on The Mummy. OK, that's my one correct answer. Good thing I got it in by posting first

Hmm. Leopard seems like a combination of Giganta with the cat name of Cheetah - I'm really only familar with these characters from the Justice League cartoon though. I could guess that Leopard is the national animal mascot for Libya, but it's a just a guess.

Ah, Deus Ex for our backup squad! I just now realized. Jock was the helicopter pilot, Alex the hacker guy, Carter the good general and supply guy, Reyes the doctor, and I'm blanking on Harriman.

Stone Guy could be the Thing, since he's Jewish and thus a fitting Israeli super. OTOH, he didn't have elemental control type powers, just the rocky exterior, strength and toughness.

Would Geldarans be the Klingons from Star Trek or the BORG? I am bad at this, obviously...

Hmm, Control Freak and Warmind... Cable and Deadpool had the sometime telepath Cable against this Black Box guy who had some kind of massive datalink ability. I think. Reading only one part of a series that makes numerous references to characters developed in other series tends to result in some confusion, which is probably why I read about comics much more than I read comics.

Indeed.

She is in fact a combination of the two aforementioned members of the League of Doom, so 2 points for that. But she was inspired by the still-outstanding RWT point.

Correct on Deus Ex. The Trust does of course have a bit of a UNATCO feel to it. Jock is actually a double reference, and Harriman is based on another you haven't guessed yet. 1.5 points so far for that.

And another point.

Nope. The Geldarans, btw, are EASILY the most obscure non-RWT reference, if not the most obscure reference period.

Control Freak sounds very similar to the guy on Teen Titans, in fact, they share the same name.
