I aim to misbehave
I had a question and an idea. First the question.
For a Hero level, the skill points are 0, however, would you still get the skill points from intelligence or being human for that level?
How About ACEs for the team name? Anaheim City Eight or the Anaheim City Elite? This gives some homage to the Wildcards books and, since our base is under Space Mountain, we could also refer to ourselves as Space Aces.

Hmmm... that's a good question about the Hero level and skill points. The PC I made was an orc with 10 Int, so I hadn't thought of that.
Reaper, what do you think? I lean towards yes, but I don't want to unbalance things too much.
As for the name, I'm fine with ACE if that's what the group wants.

I kind of like the Suburban Seven, even if we do have eight people. Perhaps it's just one of those quirky things, where we've got someone who's an 'unofficial' member. Or it could be that we added someone new but of course we can't change the name after the merchandizing has been started
Oh, and I've got a couple character concepts I'm thinking of. Should put them up here shortly.

True, there is that store on Main Street, USA at Disneyland full of S7 stuff... and the mall retail chain... and the Happy Meal promotion...
My "Party of Seven Strangers" group, of which my superorc Bruk is a part, has about 8 or 9 PC's plus 3 or so Cohorts, so there is precedent for a math challenged name.

ok, my ideas so far (don't have 4CtF yet, going to try and get it tomorrow):
Mantis
A ninja connected to a Japanese tech firm, he goes around dressed in black (think the vampire commando squad from Blade II; that kind of uniform) he uses swords, guns, James Bond type gadgets, and a pair of rectractable blades on his forearms that are parallel to the plane of the back of his hand (these are tech/gauntlet pieces, not Wolverine implants). Seeks revenge on the enemy who killed his father, the previous Mantis. This enemy is one of seven other 'heroes,' all named for a different animal (think kung fu forms here, Dragon, Tiger, etc.).
Blue Sentinel
An Iron Man type armor suit hero. A rich businessman/thrill-seeker who had tried everything else and decided to fight supervillians for kicks and more death-defying thrills. His suit is lithe and quick, optimized for speed, with strength secondary and an energy blast third.
The Supreme Intellect
A scientist who developed extreme use of memory and speed of calculations, and through some immense stress (he won't reveal the exact process) broke through into a higher plane of ability. His powers are all driven by pure thought alone (not telepathy or telekinesis). For example, he might have a 'teleportation' power that works by him being able to recognize and conceive of higher dimensions (with the same ease that we see three or less dimensions), calculate their mathematics, and 'step through' them. Teleportation is one thing I thought of for him, some kind of 'thought shield' that deflects attacks was another. Mostly I want him to have powers like being able to calculate faster than computers, and other consequences of having super-powered intelligence. I see him as a Smart/FieldScientist/Hero.
I'm trying to think of at least one more possibility, but I'm strongly leaning towards the Intellect right now. Note that the names are changeable - I just threw something in there (aside from Mantis, who's an old character). I'm thinking more about the character concepts right now.
