The 'Make Up A Superhero' thread.


Easy, post the name of your superhero and give a little bit of background on their character and abilities.

For example:

Fidget Spinner. Derek Dawson is an ex Vietnam veteran and current lollipop man for Shady Acres High School in Massachusetts. Whenever he witnesses injustice something triggers in his mind and he starts to spin around with his arms spread out wide and runs towards it. This always stops the injustice and lets Derek go back into his peaceful native state.

It could have been part of that test he took part in with the army, it could be from his time as a prisoner of war. Derek doesn't know. But what he does know is that Messi has tightened the technique and so someone, somewhere has continued the research into this ability and Derek 'Fidget Spinner' Dawson wants to know who.

I have an idea for a super hero but it is too scandalous and would make people angry.

I'm all the more interested now Moose, please share your idea.

OK, so, my superhero is named Cop Killer (NOT "Killa") and his superpower is killing cops who are harassing innocent civilians. His weapon of choice is a regular handgun (I don't know exactly what kind as I am not familiar with guns, never fired one in my life.) His outfit is a gray ski mask, a tan Carhart jacket over an olive green sweater with food stains down the front, a pair of jeans with the knees worn out, and multiple plastic grocery bags tied over each foot for shoes. He also carries a length of rope over his left shoulder (he is right handed) and he is very good at making lassos which he uses to take down police helicopters. He is also a Communist and every time he is thanked by a grateful citizen his go to catchphrase is "Just doing my duty, Comrade." and he can also stick his right arm in the air with a fist and say "Up, up, and awaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" before flying into the air. In his downtime he goes to AA meetings and gets people to drink again. He lives in a dirty, depressing, nondescript city that exists in perpetual winter (not to be confused with Narnia.)


Eventually he runs for mayor and is unanimously elected by the grateful citizens who regard him as the hero, champion, and defender of the common man, labor unions, and organized crime.

Love it! Maybe lose the flying👍 I'd rather him raise his hand...make a statement...then collapse int o a drug/alcohol induced stupor that would clear him of the possibility of criminal activity....he's just too shit faced sarge!

reply

Yeah, maybe lose the flying, I don't know, but there is supposed to be a climactic showdown with the entire police force. As he is destroying them, one of the cops says "Call the National Guard!" to which another responds "We can't! There in Afghanistan!"
