Thanks Set! i wanted to have a real reason why he's able to cause hallucinations and that just worked.

Agreed an entire planet would die. but it could be a very fun way to go lol...

Yeah, that's the very purpose the SP seem to have been designed for, to regulate technology that could be destructive. 'Gray goo' Von Neuman nanomachines are popular in sci-fi, but stuff like clone banks used for organ harvesting or direct pleasure stimulation addiction or harvesting neurohormones from sentient races (particularly psychic races like Titanians and Naltorians) could be futuristic sci-fi threats that the SP would have to deal with.

On the planet fuzzball there exists a race of humanoid-cats. Just like on Earth there are various species of felines. they all have the feline agility, physique, and heightened senses but raised by a factor of three times that of that of any particular feline species. Making some of them very powerful.

Much of their world is forest and they have a fairly tribal society, with a few modern cities that have begun to cropped up due to the arrival of the colonist.

The U.P. inspected the planet and deemed it habitable for most U.P. worlds. The U.P believed the world to not have any intelligent life.

The cat-people as they became known to colonist were seen as just another type of wildlife on this world. The U.P. failed to realize that the cat-people were the dominate species; partially because the cat-people can't speak as they do not have a larynx that can form speech as we know it and it wasn't till after settlement had started that they found the homes and towns of the cat-people.

Once the U.P. brought a telepath in from Titan they were able to communicate. The cat-people were a very peaceful race and were willing to share their world. but at high restrictions to technology and any development beyond the few settlements they currently have. The U.P. agreed.

some of the cat-people have begun to take an interest in the cites of the U.P and each tribe has a member who is their ambassador to these few cities. Still unable to speak, they have been given voice modulators that project their thoughts.

One such tribal ambassador is April Dumaka, as her feral name is unpronounceable by the standard off world-er,so she took the name April. she heard it in a song that someone in her office played and liked the sound of it.

April found herself loving both lives. she loved her city life, it was complicated but still easy for her and interesting. she learned about other worlds and things that lay beyond the stars of her world. But every chance she got she ran through the forest as fast as she could kicking up the dirt in her wake and climbing the trees as high as the highest branch she could reach. April is from the northern region of her world and Her species resembles that of Earth's Margay.

April has taken to straightening her main while in the city to fit in, while out in the city one night she encountered a mugger. mistaking her for another person he wasn't prepared for her enhanced strength and agility. several by standers saw this and were awed by her.

April didn't fully understand why. But she didn't mind the attention. She never stood out among her people. that was part of why she became an ambassador. she to stand out.

When The Legion came to Fuzzball on a world tour April was impressed with them. She saw the attention they got and thought it was enthralling. When she was introduced she asked for membership as she is not shy about what she wants.

They told her to apply at the next open call. But not satisfied with that answer, she stole away with the team back to their headquarters on Earth. Where she hide in their headquarters for weeks before they found her. realizing she wasn't going to leave anytime soon the legion agreed to a try out just for her. besting several of them in hand to hand combat with her enhanced agility and speed she ran circles around them and using her claws to keep them at bay and to climb the walls around them. After her try out the legion chose not to admit her. as talented as she was she needed more training. offering her a place in the academy as Catspaw

I really dig this Catspaw coming from a race of cat people! Plus the idea that there's a cat world called Fuzzball is freakin adorable

Maybe these nefarious nogoodniks represent the bad side of Fuzzball: Yes, it's the Space Canine Patrol!

Tenzil Kem was born on the planet Sklar and shares the mass-shifting abilities of some of its inhabitants. Sort of.

Tenzil possesses the ability to incorporate the mass of a subject into any other subject of his choice, the only condition being that they both need to be physically touching. The effect can look quite creepy, as one object develops a kind of lip that stretches over whatever it's absorbing and within seconds swallows it whole. After "eating" its target, the devouring object gains its mass though not any of its other properties. As far as Tenzil knows the process can't be reversed, so he's never tried it on a living being.

Looking for a life of fun and adventure, he tried out for the Legion of Superheroes. They considered his power to be quirky but ultimately too limited and rejected him, so Tenzil joined the Legion of Substitute Heroes as Matter-Eater Lad. Eventually the main Legion came around, and with his daredevil attitude and generally congenial nature he's one of the more popular Legionnaires both in and outside of the team. He's learned to be quite creative with his admittedly limited powerset over the years, disarming gunmen by having their own costumes eat their weapons, ensnaring people by having walls or the floor partially eat their clothes and stopping vehicles by having them absorb so much mass from anything around them they're unable to move.

That's an awesome interpretation of 'Matter-Eating,' having the matter itself do the eating! Very creative!

Raz that is wicked creative!

it does make me wonder how that would work on a living being...would it create a zombie affect

Love it they left Fuzzball one they realized the riches the rest of the universe holds.

Thanks peeps! I always thought Matter-Eater Lad's name was too literally descriptive to really be able to do anything different with him but then Omni inspired me to give it a go with his version

Glad i could help. lord knows how many times you've inspired mine!

Up in the high ice cap mountains of Triton, lived a Tritonian female monk named Harmonia , who left society behind when her powers first emerged.

As a young girl she wasn't any different. she went to school, loved her family and was a devoted Bilitztian, which was the local religion. They believed in peaceful resolution through the use of ice tai chi, or ice dancing as most called it. through meditation and doing the movements of the ice dancing one could achieve a peaceful resolution to any problem.

When she turned 14, she discovered she could feel the emotions of others. at first she found this to be alarming. but after talking with the monks in her village, they told her that Bitzra their God, has chosen her to join their ranks as they too feel the emotions of others. They promised that with time and training she would make a fine member of their order and put her skills to good use.

but as she trained she realized that she not only felt the emotions of others but she influenced them as well. at first it was in minor ways, people becoming more agreeable.

But one day when she became angered by the death of her father, who had been murdered. she locked herself in the chapel of Heilt and did ice chi tie's the Phoenix moves to resolve her anger. while locked away she unknowingly forced her anger on her whole village and caused a riot.

eventually her anger turned to grief and she emerged from the chapel and saw what she had caused.

fleeing the world as she wasn't sure she could ever contain her emotions to not hurt the people around her.

On Jaquua, Atrebi was born without eyes, the only one of a litter of six to have such a deformity, and his parents spared no expense to correct their sightless child, even after learning that he somehow was able to produce a single black floating sensor, resembling a Jaquaan eye, and somehow see through this psychic construct. Delicate as a soap bubble, the 'eye' drifted slowly according to his will, and he usually kept it floating above one shoulder, so that he could navigate as well as a sighted person. Over the years, he learned to create additional sensors, at first just a pair, slowly growing both more sensitive (he eventually discovered that he could hear through them as well), more mobile (he could cause one to drift kilometers from his presence, eventually quite quickly) and more resilient (as durable as actual eyeballs, or even a bit sturdier), but always retained his psychic connection to these constructs, being able to perceive through them remotely, direct their movements, and to feeling a brief sense of shock and pain when one (or more) was damaged or destroyed.

A young adult now, Atrebi goes by the name Sensor, and works with the Jaquuan government, doing search and rescue and reconnaissance into dangerous situation, able to send a dozen 'sensors' into an area and scout it out in relative safety, for emergency response or law-enforcement agencies. He has even learned, after some Titanian training, to engage in limited telepathic contact with someone contacting one of his sensors, allowing for remote communication.

While his unusual power has little practical combat use, being neither offensive or defensive, it is extremely useful, and his family are very proud to be sponsors of one of Jaquua's premier 'super-heroes.'

Brek Bannin wanted to be a Legionnaire more than anything else in the galaxy. His only problem was that he didn't have a power...sure, he could project waves of cold as a natural defence against his super hot world of Tharr, but everyone on his homeworld could do that. What use would that be on a normal temperature world? No, Brek would need to make his own way to stand out. Taking advantage of his natural resistance to fire and heat, Brek made himself a flame-generating suit and took the name Sun Boy. Unfortunately he didn't account for the Legion's ban on artificial powers and was summarily rejected.

Lydda Jath was raised on Kathoon within an offshoot of the Dark Circle. Her religion states that the universe fell into the grip of evil millions of years ago and that life must be a constant struggle to present order in the grip of supreme chaos. Her views on morality therefore are somewhat different to the average UP citizen, as she acts to preserve order more than necessarily to help someone in need. Her father convinced her to make a deal with the devil to get the kind of power she needs to fulfil this mission. As Satan Girl, she's as strong as a Daxamite and has various mystical senses. The Legion of Superheroes weren't comfortable with her origins or beliefs though, and summarily rejected her.

Ral Benem accidentally fell into a vat of experimental serum when he was a child and gained the ability to cause extreme physical growth in any living organism. Calling himself XS, he tried out for the Legion but was rejected as the Legion could see limited benefit in him causing people to grow giant-sized.

Staq Mavlen was hospitalised for months after straying too close to a fallen meteor and inhaling microscopic fragments of the rock. He metabolised those particles and gained the ability to produce noxious gases of various chemical compositions. His body is also slowly physically transforming, becoming leathery and more resistant to physical damage and temperature extremes as time goes by. When he woke from his coma he tried to join the Legion but Saturn Girl sensed something dark inside of him and he was rejected. Unknown to anyone, Staq has been inhabited by an ancient arcane intelligence that had been trapped in the meteor. It's slowly transforming him to become the perfect host and one day the hero named Chemical King will be one of the most dangerous villains the galaxy has seen.

Dag Wentim comes from the planet Zwen, where all inhabitants spend half of every year petrified in suspended animation. Spending so much of their lives asleep, the Zwennites have a much greater understanding of The Dreaming than a lot of races, and Dag from a young age was having his own adventures throughout dream worlds. While in stone form he has the ability to enter the dreams of others, to probe their subconscious minds and to communicate with them. As Dream Boy, he approached the other Legion rejects the night after their tryout and convinced them to become their own team to covertly support the Legion of Superheroes. While his body slumbers on Zwen Dream Boy is the Legion of Substitute Heroes' invisible secret weapon, getting info from crooks and tracking down secrets for his team while the UP sleeps.

Nice Razsolo.

Good to see you all posting again, Set, Omni, raz! Loving these interesting ideas.

Love all of these!

Raz i think Dream Boy s my favorite..no wait Satan Girl...no wait Sun Boy...oh i can't choose. lol

Set Sensor is amazing! I love how you describe the uses of his "psychic eyes"

Love those versions of Satan Girl and Chemical King, especially, raz, and how they offer up future story possibilities!

Crossing the streams a little;

'Berto DaCosta first discovered his fantastic ability to transform energy into super-powers as a teenager, as the sunlight striking his skin was absorbed, turning him into what appeared to be a humanoid black hole, but merely giving him incredible super-human strength and stamina.

He contemplated the name 'Sunspot,' until further experience revealed that light alone was not the source of his power, but that he could absorb different types of energy, and each type conferred a different super-human form and power.

Exposure to powerful currents of electricity caused his body to grow thinner and sleeker, covered in a silver-blue metallic coating, with odd art-deco style 'fins' growing from his head, shoulders, forearms and lower legs, as he developed the power of blinding super-speed.

Great amounts of heat or exposure to fire would cause him to fly apart into a cloud of ash, able to fly as fast as the wind, pass through areas like a fine smoke, disperse over wide areas or even smother fires or blind and suffocate adversaries.

Operating as a heroic adventurer (to meet girls, truth be told, more than out of an overwhelming surfeit of innate heroism), he learned, when blasted with hostile magic, that magical energy would cause him to transform into a towering demonic form, red-skinned and four-armed, with only the strength one would expect of a form that continued to grow, from three meters tall to *ten* meters in height, as he was exposed to more powerful magical attacks, but also superhuman regenerative powers.

And so, after laughing off a friends suggestion of 'Absorbancy Boy,' 'Berto now calls himself Kid Quantum, to represent his unique abilities, and how he can appear in different forms, depending on the available energy sources.

The Rocky Horror Legion, for Hallowe'en:

Thread resurrecta!

The most famous hero on Titan is a genderfluid intellectual and physical powerhouse named Dream Boy/Girl (depending what gender ze represents as at the time). Dream Boy/Girl's secret is that ze is a psychic construct, a way for sleeping Titanians to safely direct their psionic powers and ensure they don't accidentally cause strife in their sleep.

Dream Boy/Girl has access to the experiences and skills of every sleeping Titanian, and the sleeping population's excess psionic energy is channelled into zer strength, speed, stamina and durability - this makes Dream Boy/Girl almost equal to a Daxamite physically depending how many dreamers are making up zer body at the time. Due to Dream Boy/Girl's unique composite nature, ze is also pretty much entirely immune to psionic attacks.

Whether Dream Boy/Girl presents as male or female relies solely on which gender currently constitutes the majority of sleeping Titanians; this means that ze can change gender before someone's eyes as the balance tips, which can be disconcerting to some people (acknowledging that there are likely non-binary genders present somewhere on Titan as well, Dream Boy/Girl would present that way in the rare event that a variant gender becomes the majority).

I also did this one in Spaceopoly.

Donnough Bolto was angry! She was angry at the High Council. To declare that transmutation was evil. Why everybody knew that the people of Trom were the most gentle, peaceful, and benign people in the entire United Planets. She was angry at her brother. For believing the High Council. And for embarking on a life of crime and evil. Donnough was glad that their mother had not been alive to see the shame Laevar had brought to their family.

When Donnough discovered her brother's notes she decided to recreate his transmutation ray and give herself the power to transmute just like her brother. Then she would show the High Council and her brother that transmutation is not evil and that it could be used for the benefit of others. After 4 months, Donnough had perfected the ray. With it she was able to change an iron bar into pure platinum. Next came the most dangerous part. Subjecting herself to the transmutation ray. She was unsure about how long she would need to stay in the ray in order to gain her brother's power.

Taking a deep breath, Donnough stepped into the ray. Its light bathed her, but she did not feel any different. She stayed in the ray for a full ten minutes. She placed the bar of platinum in front of her. She knew that her brother's power flowed from his eyes. She stared at the bar and thought "Iron". Nothing happened. She thought harder. She filled her mind with everything she knew about iron. Nothing. Feeling frustrated, Donnough slammed her fist on the table. It made a strange sound. And hitting the table did not hurt. Looking down, she saw that where she had struck the table, there was now a fist sized dent. Looking now to her hand, Donnough saw that it was iron. The room began to spin and she collapsed on the floor.

When she came too, she thought she had had a nightmare, but looking again at her hands, she saw that they were still iron. going to a full length mirror, Donnough saw that her entire body had been transmuted into iron. She tried to think herself human again, but it did not work. She tried bathing herself in the transmutation ray, but it had no affect either. Donnough then thought about gold. She again concentrated and filled her mind with everything she knew about gold. Looking in the mirror, she saw that she had now turned into gold.

After some experimentation, Donnough discovered that she could transmute her own body into any element. She could even become ethereal by turning her body into oxygen. However, she felt herself drifting apart and quickly turned herself back into iron.

Traveling to Earth, Donnough sought out the Legion of Superheroes. She hoped that Brainiac 5 could reverse the transmutation effects and make her human again. She thought that the Legion would be able to help her track down her brother. And she felt that she could also show the Venusian High Council that transmutation is not evil, but can be used for good. Donnough took the codename "Dawnstar" as that is one of the names Terrans had for her home world of Venus.

My take on Chemical King.

Condo Arlik was a child prodigy when it came to chemicals and chemical formulas. At age three he created a serum that would make feathers weigh the same as lead. Kind of silly, but what do you expect from a three year old. As he grew, he could create all sorts of serums and potions from combining different chemicals to achieve various effects.

When he tried out for the Legion, they first rejected him claiming that he depended upon mechanical devices. Condo argued, successfully, that his power was his ability to know which chemicals to combine to produce the desired effect. Much like Brainiac 5's power wasn't his force field belt, but his 12th level intelligence.

Later when the White Witch joined, he had her enchant the vials he carried on his person so that they would never run out of the chemicals they contained.
