A Descent into Dullness

Scarier villain weapon?
1. Cannon that shoots bees at people.
2. Cannon that shoots wasps at people.
3. Cannon that shoots scorpions at people.

Which sounds better for a villain Beetle Boxer or Boxer Beetle?

Also I really love the iGoogle translator add-on...

I doubt I'm alone in that when I first started coming with super-hero parody concepts many were Batman/Robin types. When I took many of those earlier ideas and started to try and write for Superguy I ended up discarding most of them. And when I gathered up the various concepts from that for what I want to do with my Superfic stories, I trimmed away nearly all the rest. Because most of them were really, really stupid. I mean REALLY stupid. And this is from a guy who STILL thinks a Hulk-parody named SMURF! is awesome. But yeah, HatchetMan and Kid Cutlery? Finding-StuffMan and Lost Boy. TERRIBLE IDEAS. But one managed to stick with me. Mostly because I actually had a few story ideas for the sidekick. So BadgerMan and Kid Weasel remained...

And then later I began thinking, hmmm. Future stories. So the sidekick is now the main hero. And he's got a sidekick. But what if thats a TRADITION? If there is a LINE of heroes and sidekicks stretching back generations...

And so the The Heroic Legacy of the Weasel:

Lord Weasel & Childe Sable
Sir Sable & Squire Mink
The Comte de Mink & Young Ferret
Mr. Ferret & Lil' Otter
The Lone Otter & the Fisher Kid
The Fisher & Wolverine Boy
Captain Wolverine & Skunk Boy
SkunkMan & Badger Lad
BadgerMan & Kid Weasel
The Weasel & Ms. Mustelid

Ok, so it took a week to finish the last two. Anyway here they are.

This was going to be another Interest Inspiration story for crimsonjoe and his interest, baseball. But I could never get the damn ending right. So here's the partial short...

[Poll #1232625]

The 1930s were a dark time. The Great Depression referred not just to the financial crash, but to the general state of mind of so many who struggled with poverty. And that mental state was like a fine buffet for various super-natural predators...

It was also a time of rampant criminal activity in the USA. With the massive profits ensured by Prohibition, the various Crime Syndicates were almost legitimate in their control of politics and police. Across the nation, various masked Mystery Men did their best to oppose gangsters and protect the innocent...

In 1931 an obscure Mystery Man in Detroit named the Vision assembled a group of others from around the country. He convinced them of two things. That he'd chosen his name because he had "waking dreams" that would foretell when super-natural attacks would occur. And that even more dangerous than the criminals were these "demonic" beings drawn to feed off humanity's despair and evil. In all the Vision recruited five heroes to be part of The Defenders from across the country.

• From Texas the brothers Javier and Alejandro Montayo - Los Lobos Hermanos
• From the East Coast former British lord and explorer Kevin R. Plunder - The Hobgoblin
• From New York Wyatt Wingfoot, who claimed to be the great grand-son of the god Hermes. And whose gifts of flight and speed seemed to back that assertion - Quicksilver
• And from the Southwest, the black hero Sam Wilson - The Scorpion.

Their first mission, to stop an invasion of "shadow demons" at a Masquerade Ball thrown by New York's highest society, was a partial success. The demons were driven off but one of the guests, nineteen year old socialite Patsy Walker was killed. Or so it seemed. A few weeks later the Vision, now revealed to his allies as millionaire industrialist and philanthropist Kyle Richmond, discovered that Ms. Walker had partially survived. Trapped between life and death she would fade from visibility and tangibility depending on the hour of the day. Calling herself the Shroud she joined the group, using her unique state to help protect humanity...

Every generation the monks of the Order of Atlantis go forth. They entice, trick, hire or just kidnap the greatest martial arts masters in the world. And they bring these warriors to participate in the Great Tourney of the Gates at an island in Micronesia. And when the field is down to three, then The Champions pass through the Gates to face their counterparts from the Darkforce Dimension. When they succeed then the world sees another generation of relative peace. When they fall, then evil leaders come to power and the pillars of the world shake. The last time a Darkforce Champion won thru was January of 1933...

I blame David Brothers for this. Him and Kalinara. I, as usual, am faultless...
