I hear you, Dingo, I hope I didn't give you the impression I was offended.

Alright, that being the case I'm no longer concerned. I just didn't want to see a stereotyped character. Like that gumbo thing- sorry, Dingo, I know you didn't mean any offense, but that was kinda bad.

Just as long as they're not a total stereotype. We're not always represented that we'll in media. Though I'm Cajun, not Creole.

I just have a mental image of someone beating this guy over the head with his own leg.

SIXGUN

"The eyes? I can do that," he said, still a little wary about following instructions given by the voice in his head. Especially now that it was a woman. He had met plenty of lady cops and superheroes in the last few years, but he had been raised with the impression that women were delicate and gentle, needing to be helped into carriages and such. Were they just playing at fighting?

He raised his .45 as four of the creatures approached him. Four bullets, four mandrakes. Four left eyes. Nothing he hadn't done before. He fanned off four shots, one aimed at each of the creatures eyes, depending on his talent for making aimed shots in very little time. Snapping open and emptying the cylinder, he began loading .45 rounds into the newly empty revolver. Anytime the cavalry wanted to show up as fine with him.

SONJA

She mentally kicked herself for using Hot Rod's name out loud. The man had been right to chastise her- just because her identity was highly public didn't mean the same for everyone. Sonja resolved to be more careful.

But caution would have to come later, as the group was entering the infirmary and being greeted by a scene straight out of Hell. Flames licked the walls and suffused the dead bodies of COs, and the sick and injured could do little more than moan helplessly as the heat increased and the air grew thinner. Sonja watched, transfixed, as the woman in the black robe stepped out of nowhere and demanded a circle. Flames covered everywhere except the door- inviting a nigh-suicidal single file entry.

Sonja turned to Hot Rod and whispered to him. "If I smash out part of the wall can you get through the flames unharmed? They're expecting us to come through that door."

Why would they be less of a douche?

Some of the scariest villains aren't just out for kicks or personal gain- they really, truly believe that their actions have a wider meaning. I don't know if you've seen Air Force One, but Gary Oldman's character is a great example- he guns down multiple unarmed people in the sincere belief that he's doing what's best for his country, while also mentioning his children and showing grief over the death of his henchmen. He's often very polite and gentle as well, which just makes him scarier.

I didn't pick up on that, thank lord I'm not really strategizing for Sixgun or he would be screwed

I might already be- I definitely picked the wrong target as a priority there.

Well Pakstas, when I first made her sheet, was from a post-soviet country. Wanted to integrate the Soviet's fall with some sort of superheroism (or at least, since the Awakening was in 2012, someone who was later to become a superhero).

I definitely like that idea. For sure, the protector of Vilnius or Budapest is going to have a far different approach than someone who works out of Chicago.

I'd love to see superheroes from other countries than the US and Britain. I mentioned in the Allies sheet that Sonja's parent company also sponsors guys in Germany, South Africa, India, and the Philippines. I've been having some fun imagining how other cultures might approach superheroes.
