Did anyone ever see Powerless? Its bad so dont worry if you didnt, but its about an insurance company in the DC universe trying to keep normal people protected against superhero collateral damage

pulling his eight hairy legs in close to his body Kahru the spider tucked himself into a cozy fold on Donnells shoulder and enjoyed the ride as the young lordling climbed, his eight dark eyes gleaming as he scanned the cliff, the sky, and the Colonel floating above. He had already asked the...

Same reason noone recognises Clark Kent without his glasses? but even more so since he's blind but moves like a man fully aware of his surroundings - plausible deniability causes brains to shut down!

I want a Claire Temple Night Nurse show - a medical drama set in post-blip NYC teetering between rebuilding and collapse. Crime is rampant, new vigilantes are rising and Claire is the only one they can turn to for help - that makes her a target

Defenders is rubbish, skip it

Even if we just stick with Doc Savage (Clark Savage Jrn) as our Pulp archetype then it isnt just typical 1930s scenery. He might start off in New York but he very soon goes off to some exotic locales or lost world for the adventure. He fights would be world conquerors, dinosaurs, mad scientist...

Dwarven Rune Forger - engraving runes and glyphs into stone and steel Halfling Scrapper - dirty tricks and luck to fight larger opoonents Gnome Thicket Trickster - using wits, stealth and illusory camouflage Gnome Mushroom Druid - with a cute mushroom familiar and a wide mycellium network

There is no meaningful distinction between superheroes and pulp heroes - the Shadow has powers, Doc Savage is the Man of Bronze and Indy fights the same Nazis as Captain America. Tarzan and Conan have both appeared in contemporary Marvel comics - the tropes are identical

Superman (1978) - Christopher Reeves got the character right and the movie still stands as an outstanding exemplar of the genre Upgrade (2018) - Tom Hardy gets an AI chip in his spine, a better version of Venom, with a darker twist Toxic Avenger (Troma) - one of the best superhero parodies...

In my first teenage homebrew I called the Great Britain analogue "Cruithne" and based it on a mix of Hen Ogledd, the Ulster Cycle and The Book of Invasions of Erenn

In my first homebrew I did a Great Britain analogue called "Cruithne" and based it on a mix of Dal Riata, Hen Ogledd, the Ulster Cycle and The Book of Invasions of Erenn.

I thought the Bot answer was fine and aligned with what Greenwood was saying too. Ed focussed on Lolth considering transition to be a blessing whereas the bot focussed on the opinions of some Matriarchs "if the transition is not seen as advantageous to the House..." thats exactly how a Matriarch...
