The first is a villain from my d20 modern game, the other is a group of superheroes.Combest Peabody-- Combest Peabody may very well be my favourite villain of all time. The dangerously obssessed and mistreated lover of the vampiric BBEG, he was also aforesaid vampire's choice to rule over our world once he'd conquered it. Combest had no magical or combative ability whatsoever, though he was very organized, a good researcher, and a not-bad singer/songwriter/guitar player. His most potent expertise was child's psychology, which he put to good use. The PCs first encountered him running a preschool in an isolated town, having brainwashed and propogandized the little brats into pint-sized fanatics in favour of his vampiric lord. The PCs stopped the operation, of course, but Peabody got away. (The Children pulled out knives, and the Party Occultist cast web. Peabody pulled out a lighter, and informed them that web might be flammable) He went on to get his nose in their business a few more times (ratting out the only person in the BBEGs organization who was closer to the BBEG than he, giving them information on a villain whose wife he killed, and trying to keep them from evacuating a soon-to-be-nuked New York), and when they finally killed him via explosion, one of the characters that took a special disliking for him preserved his head as a trophy.The Triumverate of Mustachioed Inanity Years ago, they were a super hero team that had three things in common: They were all comedians, they were all super heroes, and they all had mustaches.The Roster was composed of Weird Al Yankovic, the Prince of Parody, their leader with the power to be very friendly to animals. There was also Gallagher, an eccentric power house who summoned the power of strength, flight, and invulnerability from his enchanted sledgehammer. He used his watermelon grenades when he got into a tight spot. The third and final member was Yakov Smirnof, a jovial russian sorceror with a portal to the bizarro world in his head through which he summoned the mighty magical powers of Bizarro Rasputin. The team disbanded when the portal in Yakov's head tremored, causing him to switch places with his Bizarro world counterpart. Vokay tried super-villany, but went into hiding out of bitterness when the people of our world didn't understand the humour of "In Bizarro Soviet Russia, You Drive Car!". In a fit of frustration and depression, Yankovic shaved his mustache and Gallagher opened a fruit stand.Edit: Forgot to state what made Combest so much fun to roleplay- the guy's overall demeanor was unsettlingly friendly and hokey, sort of midway between Mr. Rogers and Ned Flanders, he always wore tie-dye, jeans and a vest, and he had a balding afro ala Art Garfunkel.</blockquote>
