[QUOTE="DamionW, post: 2618300, member: 18649"] My friends and I love the Tick and wanted to do a stupid superhero game. Mostly we just came up with general outlines for characters. My favorite? I always wanted to make a hero named "Government Cheese." Sort of a dairy-oriented James Bond meets Friday from Dragnet. He'd just have stupid gadgets like his Swisserizer Gun that riddles enemies with holes and Limburger Stink Bombs. Of course he'd slip ridiculous puns in whenever he could: "We have to raid the thieves' hideout! That Roquefort (instead of rogue fort) can't be left unchecked!" or "Jim, you have to pick a side in this fight, you're not Swiss!" My best bud came up with Captain Cuisinart, the cyborg/kitchen utensil (He zaps bad guys, demolishes buildings, he even juliennes fries!) and Jumbo Hirohito, the midget mutant elephant samurai. We also pictured making a movie with a character named Guy Incognito (from the Simpsons), where a pair of arms would spring out from inanimate objects that the guy was hiding in/behind (like a lightpost, with two arms showing up out of nowhere, or another person looking in an oven from a profile view and a hand popping out from inside, etc. I even came up with villains to match them against. There was The Big Apple, a huge mutant apple the size of Kingpin from the comics who HATED any reference to the city of New York. Then there was Asscheeks Akimbo, the huge-butted sumo wrestler that sits on his enemies. Also, i just liked the idea of a villain named Jazz Hands that just waved his hands around like a bad beatnik dancer. We never actually roleplayed this, but it was fun to talk about. [/QUOTE]
