Looking around one could see many obscure heroes who have dusted off their spandex leotards. Among them one could vaguely remember some of those collected. Such as Tagak the Leopard Lord, Captain Ultra, the Tumbler, and Razorback, just to name a few. Figures milled about as old acquaintances reunited and new ones were made.D-ManDennis looked about, it was certainly an impressive turnout. He spied a hero that looked strangely familiar talking with two of the more ‘colorful’ characters,  a bit odd he seemed familiar since he was sure he hadn’t met him in person. He thought his name was Turbo or some-such. Mulling over approaching the man, Dennis was suddenly hoisted a foot off the ground, the victim of a full nelson.<OOC: reply D-Man, no rolls needed just describe your reaction and how you would escape>TorpedoWell it looked like Web-head was right. Unfortunately for Brock though many answered the call-to-arms that Spidey had so kindly told him about. Right now Brock was in the middle of reminiscing with two of the would-be applicants about how they had similarly tried to join the Defenders years ago. Brock was desperate to detach himself somehow from the two.<a href="http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/tagakleopard.htm" target="_blank">Tagak:</a> “—and even though Tagak is blind, Tagak could see the wisdom in Torpedo’s words. Tagak knew that Hulk was a menace that Tagak should help to defeat.”<a href="http://comicscentral.tripod.com/marvelheroes/c/captainultra.htm" target="_blank">Captain Ultra:</a> “Yeah you sure choked the chicken with that call, Torpey, even with all of us and my patented Ultra-Strength, we couldn’t take that mean green sucker down. Phew! The way Hulk tossed us into the Hudson….Y’know Hulk there reminds me of this villain of mine the ‘Demon-without-humor’. I had to tell him an ‘Ultra-Joke’ y’think that would work on ole Hulkster Torpy?”<OOC: reply Torpedo>EnchantressAmora sighed as she surveyed the riff-raff gathered in the room. Certainly there were a few finer specimens of the male persuasion here, but no one has so much as complimented her once. Surely she looked resplendent in her new attire. Perhaps they were too in awe of her radiance. Yes that must be it.“Say aren’t you the Enchantress?” Amora turned to see some sort of lumbering minotaur creature addressing her. Bison: “I’m the <a href="http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/bison.htm" target="_blank">Bison…</a>I used to be a bad-guy too…”<OOC: reply Enchantress>EchoMaya was wondering if she had made some sort of huge mistake. She probably was the only person in the room not wearing brightly colored spandex. She could almost feel the cacophony of sound the crowd was making. She started to head out, but was flagged down by a rather ordinary looking man wearing rather mundane clothes. <a href="http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/guyjoesm.htm" target="_blank"> Joe:</a> “Excuse ma’am aren’t you Maya Lopez?”<OOC: reply Echo>Blue StreakThere was electricity in the air. The man known as Blue Streak could feel the tingling of excitement through his cobalt blue armor. Man it was good to see some action again. Just being around all these capes started stirring up the old juices again. He just knew he was going to be a shoe-in for the team. How could they pass up such talent? Nothing was going to bring Blue Streak down today.“Well lookie what the cat drug in!” Blue Streak immediately recognized the southern drawl before spinning on his wheels to see who was addressing him. It was the Texas Twister his former team-mate when he was with SHIELD’s Super Agent program. He was a man Blue Streak had betrayed. <a href="http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/shdsa1.htm" target="_blank">Texas Twister:</a> “THUNDER-ation. We gots us a bonafide supervillain in our ranks boys. And it aint the first time he’s tried it neither!”<OOC: reply Blue Streak>PaladinFrom the control booth above the crowd of would be heroes. Paladin sometimes known as Paul Denning(though that was not his real name) stood side-by-side with Oracle’s Chief Operating Officer Jim Hammond, and Head of Security <a href="http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/g/guardsmanii.htm" target="_blank">O’Brien.</a>O’Brien “Well y’ surely have yuir hands full Mr. Denning. A motley bunch t’be sure.”Hammond: "This is why we have the interviewing process. I have complete confidence we will find some ‘Diamonds in the rough’ as it were."<OOC: reply Paladin></blockquote>
