Question about The Specials

Hmmm. There used to be a pretty good sized website for it, with all the characters, etc... can't find it now. I taped it last night, and probably will watch it later today.

Just checked the website; apparently down and bought up by that damn BuyDomains place.

Movie was very good, in my opinion.

I instantly liked the characters and wished to see them in a comic book, thus my query.

Some of the characters were pretty obviously based around characters that I knew.

There was a character who could transmute herself into substance she could touch that was a lot like a character I remembered from x-factor.

Rising Stars is a great series, but there is noone with the personality of Dead Girl in it. They're all pretty serious by the time you get to the later parts of the series.

The Characters I remember are:

Invulnerable woman - only her eyes can be damaged

The Almighty Strobe - lasers of some sort

Night Bird - a variety of bird related powers, like being able to lay eggs and hear really well

Alien Orphan - a less than profiecient shape shifter

Eight - my favorite powered character, eight bodies with one consciousness

Minuteman - can shrink

Weevil - weevil agility and strength and so forth, but more important he knows how to get people to like him

Dead Girl

Apok (?) - channels anti-matter all blue and what not

Smart Guy - smartest man in world, or so he bills himself, constantly building terrible inventions

U S Bill - strong guy
 

Just got through watching it. Man, was that funny. Very much like 'This is Spinal Tap', but with fourth-grade superheroics.

Oh, and Deadly Girl: power to teleport to the land of the dead and reappear anywhere else. Commands demons and dead things.
