As in they obsess over anime and most Japanese like things, but that's it. In ever other aspect you wouldn't really be able to tell they were a nerd or a geek. You would almost always need to bring up anime or pokemon to get them going. > > And while some may be whovians, a good amount outright avoid such things cause they are creeped out by such 'fandoms' or 'extreme followings' even though they already do so at 10x the extreme with anime... Especially when you consider that whovians mainly limit themselves to say, the show. But anime people tend to obsess over almost anything that's anime... That is A LOT of obsessing to be doing. > > > > The fact that you can be called gay for liking certain geeky things that other geeks don't prove that geeks have their own standards especially now that the community has become huge. > > You mean the fact that human beings are capable of producing negative meaning words towards people with differing interests? *gasp* > Cause you know, that's not something you see in cases such as sport nuts _at all_. > You didn't get what I was trying to say with my post, you just agreed with my statement that geeks have standards just like every other kind of community which means that geek rebels can exist

Name: Adam Savage Alias(s): Battle-Master Age: 24 Affiliations: The heroes Description: He is six feet and two inches tall. He has dirty blond hair and light blue eyes. He is very well built and has a good amount of muscle. When he is in costume, he wears a bright red and blue spandex body suit and a Kevlar vast. To hide his identity Adam wears visor sunglasses that are extremely durable. Powers: Energy Weapon Constructs: Adam can create weapons made out of pure energy such as swords, staffs, daggers and guns. They function similar to their normal counterparts, but the construct swords and other bladed weapons can cut through most material, he can even change their sizes depending on how much power he puts into the construct. These weapons are very light and require energy to use and his gun constructs use up even more energy when they fire energy off energy ammunition. All of his weapons must stay in his hands in order to keep from vanishing, but the second he lets go of the weapon it vanishes. His powers stem from a large well of energy within his body that replenishes itself by not using his powers or by absorbing energy. Energy Absorption: he can absorb photon and electromagnetic energy to replenish his reserves of energy that allow him to use his powers. Adam does have a limit to how much he can absorb and if he takes in too much energy than will become overwhelmed with incredible pain. Enhanced Reflexes: Adam has a very fast reaction time and is quick enough to knock bullets out of the air with his construct weapons for a very short time frame. Skills: He is at the peak of human physical perfection and has been extremely well trained in hand to hand combat. He has mastered several different martial arts and is incredibly skilled in the art of weapon fighting, studying from the famous European schools of fencing from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. He is an excellent athlete and is trained in parkour as well as acrobatics. He has a great amount of knowledge and skill in urban warfare and marksmanship. Being trained by scientists as well as military specialists also greatly developed his mental capabilities and he has a great amount of knowledge. Equipment: Adam has rocket boots that allow him to fly for short distances, and a gauntlet that was both a supercomputer and high-tech communicator. His visor also has infrared vision, a targeting system and thermal vision. Ranking: B (Optional) Brief History: Adam savage was born to a great military scientist by the name of Simon Savage. Simon had been part of a governmental research and training program to create super soldiers for the US government. Adam at first seemed like a normal boy, but at a very young age he exhibited very strange powers that fascinated his father and he decided to indoctrinate him into the training program. Adam's mother objected to this and threatened to tell the public about his work. Unfortunately, Adam's motehr died in a vehicular accident and Adam was too young to find any suspicion in her death and just mourned her with his father. Without his wife to stop him, Simon Savage made his son spend the rest of his childhood all the way into his early twenties training to be the greatest asset to the US military. They trained him the incredible arts of sword fighting and he particularly loved studying the European fencing styles of the medieval and renaissance period. He took hand to hand combat training and strength training as well as parkour and heavily studying in urban warfare and marksmanship. His father and his colleagues were pushing Adam to the absolute limit in human physical perfection. Not only was his body adapting to the intense training, his powers were also growing stronger as he developed them. His weapons got more complex and dangerous and his reflexes were incredibly quick. The scientists also trained his mind for problem solving and gave him an incredible intellect. Eventually when he became an adult his training was finished and he was used for covert missions of the up most secrecy, fighting against America's enemies. Things were top secret until the superhumans came out in the world and things changed. The government saw this as an opportunity to have one of their own to pose as a hero for the media and they chose Adam. They adapted his costume to make it look like a little more flashy and like a superhero. They gave him the name Battle-Master and for several years, he had been working as a superhero to keep on an eye on the non governmental heroes and combat villains. He has been given orders to find out who is behind the terrorist attacks against the government and take them out if necessary.

> Can i apply as a green lantern character, it wouldn't be anybody already known he would sort of be an oc person in the same group? I kinda have doubts since this is supposed to be a "covert" team but i thought i should ask before i make an app. I am perfectly fine with a Green Lantern team member, from what I have seen, green lantern costumes only glow when they are flying and if your character is on the ground then their constructs will be the only thing that glows.

Korrin laughed at Kadan's suggestion at making the Training bot at full strength. "Are you aware that Solomon Grundy has punched Superman and sent him flying hundreds of feet Atlantean? This robot is built to mimic powers and skills, don't be a fool and get yourselves killed" Korrin said to him with amusement in his voice, it looked like there were a couple of big egos on the team. When he heard Korand'r ask if the training bot would get hurt Korrin looked at the alien with an 'are you serious' look and his eyes flashed a bright red in annoyance. "It's a robot, it doesn't feel pain and we have tons of them so even if you destroy this bot it can be replaced. Now enough talk, lets get started" and with those words the training bot went into action and leaped at Korand'r causing the ground to shake and intended to hit him in the head with both of his fists by bringing them down like a hammer. If the attack was successful then he would then attack Kadan and Kyle. Korrin stayed back to assess how his teammates did without his direction. He hoped they were tough enough to handle this bot.

Yeah well wear I live every geek seems to be into doctor who except for a few geeks and I see whovians everywhere so it's not far fetched to consider it a standard of geek culture.

Sorry about the ic post, that was an accident. I would like to join. I have two questions, are funny heroes allowed or do you want heroes to be super serious? And is magic allowed?

*Sorry*

Can I join this?

> I never thought there was a gold standard for geeks to measure against, since geeks are generally intelligent enough to choose their own interests to become geekily focused upon. > > PS. However, membership here on this site certainly qualifies you to be one almost instantly. > By OP's definition all geeks'a rebels, because all of us are going to lack interest in something that another geek posses interest in. :/ Can both of you give me an example of how Doctor Who is not watched by nearly one hundred percent of the geek community. Seriously it's like the one show that almost every geek watches, if that's not the standard then I don't know what is. Also by the fact that fanboys bash things that don't understand or know shows that there is a standard for being a geek, like Batman being the standard for fans of DC. The fact that you can be called gay for liking certain geeky things that other geeks don't prove that geeks have their own standards especially now that the community has become huge.
