Essentially, the great cliches of good old-fashioned comic book heroes, done in a moderately skewed style.  I'm planning this campaign as a one-or-two-shot to give my D&D players a taste of d20 Modern.The Game:HERO-Force!HERO stands for "Honor, Equality, Respect, and Order."  At some point in each episode, the Captain calls out, "HERO-Force: Roll Call!" and then four of the other PCs call out their respective word.The Heroes (all level 12):Dirk Lancer, dashing captain and leader of HERO-Force.  (Dirk is currently a Charismatic10/Soldier2 with the Inspiration Talents maxed out)Virginia Dare, scarlet-tressed British martial artist with a heart of gold and a mysterious past.  (Fast1/Strong3/MA8)Rex Archer, hardbitten wisecracking sharpshooter and second-story man.  (Haven't made him yet, but thinking of Fast Hero with levels in Gunslinger and Infiltrator)Tank McGinty, loveable lug with a heart as big as his beer belly. Tank can take a punch to the gut or blow up a bridge with equal aplomb. (Tough... something.  Dunno.  Maybe just Tough/Strong)Preacher Johnson, the conscience and field medic of the team. When things get hot under pressure, Preacher is there to keep things cool. (Dedicated and Medic, basically)And last but not least...Timmy Lancer, Boy Genius, Dirk's nephew. The irrepressible lad can rewire a nuclear ray gun in five minutes or less, but his impetuous nature often results in him being found tied to an anchor over a pirhana tank. (Smart, Techie or Field Scientist)I've got five players, and I'll play one of the characters as an NPC.  Somehow, I have this sneaking suspicion that I'm going to end up with Timmy...So anyway, that's HERO-Force.  Now, I'm looking for villains for them to fight.  I'm aiming for humorously politically incorrect.  I've got a pretty relaxed group, and I'm aiming for stuff that sort of skews the horrible old stereotypes of the old comic book villains.Currently, I've got:Father Fitzpatrick, the Bombing Bishop (aka the Vicious Vicar, aka the Papal Pugilist, aka the Egregious Ecclesiast, aka the Deacon of Doom) -- baptises victims in acidic "holy water" or lowers them into a pirhana tank on "Fish Friday", fires rays of energy from his bishop's crook, and has a bishop's hat from which helicoptor blades can pop, allowing him to fly or chop people up.  His sidekick, the Papal Bull, is a minotaur.  (Note: I'm Catholic.  I feel okay with making fun of it.)Granola McHippie, the Mad Liberal -- right now, all I've got for this guy are some kind of tie-dye laser and the following line:  "Aw, man, dude, you've totally wasted my guards.  I guess you got me.  It's all good, I surrender.  Hey, but before I go peacefully with you, why don't you have some brownies?"Oh, and one other line: "You fools!  That was ORGANIC milk!  Without chemical additives and hormones to make it safe for human consumption, it will course through your system like a lactic chloroform.  And by the time you wake up, the marijuana in those brownies will have spread through your system!  As government-sponsored ads have shown you, use of marijuana leads to uncontrollable violent rages -- when you wake up in my love shack prison, you'll die at the hands of your own kooked-out friends! A-hahahaha!"The Feminazi.  'Nuff said.Help?-Tacky</blockquote>
