One of my favorites was Matlock's hot coffee vision (whatever happened to Matlock anyway?).

Of course, there were always some whose powers were kind of vague. What exactly was Lad Boy's power? Super-sexiness? He's another one I miss around here.

For others, I'm not sure if their LMB powers really are canon. I think I picked some up from other stories written around.

But Vee could shrink and grow stuff, Xben could teleport items about the size of a grain of sand, crymsun could turn things red, and Harbinger could do anything she wanted.

There's always a temptation to make the character more powerful. To defeat the Evil Emperor and his associates Blaine Fey and Tempus, Rocky absorbed all their powers. He technically, has pretty incredible powers inside him, but, use of such magic is considered in poor taste in his culture, so he simply does not use them.

That was one of my concerns at the start of Lord of the Oval. IB can turn invisible, fly, fire laser blasts, alter people's visual perception by creating convincing holograms and manipulating light rays, create blinding effects like what 5YL Color Kid did, traevel at light speed, turn into light (thus becoming intangible), and can split into seven identical beings.

I think I really went overboard with that one.

As an aside, it's cool how you developed Rocky's native culture so.

Super-culinary skills are the only superpowers really worth coveting.

I mean, with this crowd, the best variation would be the one where you cooked one meal of your own choosing, then could use your super-powers to custom-transform one plate's worth of food into whatever suited each respective diner's taste/requirements the best. Think of how invaluable this would be! You could throw the most popular dinner parties in the galaxy, even if your budget was minimal AND your kitchen totally sucked.

I would have the power to change whatever food I'm served into whatever meal I prefer. It would make it easy for friends to invite me over. Just toss me a donut or a week-old tomato and I'll turn it into almond-crusted salmon.

Sorry, I can't transform the donut you're going to eat.

Oh, what a wonderful idea! I'd transform my food into tasty yet healthy options! White sugar into honey, salt into oregano, cream into skim milk...

Six pack abs, here I come!

That's been one of my favorite parts of the Rockhopper Lad character. We've established that although the Pyngwyn Colonies is the only nation-state on the planet Hyustyn, it covers only a very small part of its territory and has a population only in the low millions. It maintains a clan structure and an aristocracy. There is one religion, Pyngwypalia, and one language, Pyngwynyy.

Interesting. And the rest is wilderness?

I also recalled our conversation re having IB and Tim interact. Our latest tag team thread has them and Blaze investigating a mystery. Together! Would be nice to continue

I don't know if I ever actually addressed what the rest of the planet it, but I think I did establish that it was a very cold world and only a very small part of it was habitable--kind of like Greenland on Earth.

As for the tag team, I think I may have to post something. grin

I miss those threads.

Who's got the proper demeanor to portray Snow White? Pov, I guess.

Ah, that would be the Amalgame!

I killed the Legion World version with a quote from Les Miz.

And killed the regular one with a really lame amalgamation.

I've never played the Amalgames. I don't find it particularly easy to think of those.

"Know Your Legion Worlders" is one that doesn't appeal much to me. I ran out of trivia about myself.

I like "Where am I?", but I forget about it.

Know Your Legion Worlders is my longest-running single game thread, while my Idol games are the longest-running series. But I agree it can be hard to think about questions about yourself.

Where Am I is one of my favorites as well. I never find geography boring.

Where Am I? was one of the first threads I saw on the board. Being shy* I thought "Well, there's no way I'm telling them that" as I totally missed the point smile


*meaning I don't want to be tracked down across the world by serial Martini drinkers. D'Oh!
