Isn't Marvel publishing the Anita Blake comics?

I just thought of one.

someone who actually understands enough math to open wormholes with just a piece of chalk.

of course it would be fun to see Amadus Cho's reaction to the wormhole guy...

Spin the chalk at relativistic speed or something?

Hey, a "Harold and the Purple Crayon" type of superhero would be fun...kind of like Freedom Ring, but drawing the stuff. Oh, yeah, and not killed off prematurely.

A hero with the ability to pull anything out of his ass. Need to stop a villain, pull out the ass-erang, or the Ass-harpoon. Damsel about to be blown up, give him some space, he's pulling out the ass-shield.

Like Fortunato, in the Wild Cards series.

yeah, which did exist in marvel epic briefly (6 issues) and even then they wouldn't show Fortunato just a sillioette of his display in the jokertown meusume (fortunato exhibit is for adults only)

Was done as a minor hapless villain back in Hitman #50-51 or thereabouts.

This thread's great. It's a challenge - come up with an idea so out there noone's ever used it.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2007-06-29 09:32pm

and so far we haven't suceeded yet.

oh and the wormhole guy was more on the level of stargate meets the Elric bros. draws a circle on the wall, with math symbols for the space and time location and destination location, then steps back and activates it...

I'll go with one I actually used in City of Heroes for awhile:

Superhero married couple; in a battle with a villain (in the game, it was during the Rikti War), the husband's body is badly damaged, while the wife takes a nasty shot that fries her brain.

Given a dying hero and a nearly-intact body lacking a brain, the doctors have no choice but to attempt a brain transplant - so the first thing the husband sees in the mirror every morning is his wife's face.

He also has to get used to using her powers, and dealing with the change in lifestyle.

(In game, the character was a technology-based force fields/sonic Defender named the Freaq - gadgeteer husband, mutant wife with sonic abilities but enhanced by said husband's machines.)

In a comic book? Not sure. We did have a prostitute as super-hero in The Pro, by Garth Ennis.

In fiction in general? I'm Gonna Get You Sucka had a past Pimp of the Year as a member of the vigilante team.

Fortunato was a pimp.

There have been men stuck in women's bodies before (Earth X Thor comes to mind readily) but I can't think of your specific scenario.

How about a geriatric man, who is blind, and has specialised telekinesis. He can only use it to operate his weapon; a bow that shoots chainsaws. He lost his eyes in the Korean war, and recently had a radar system installed in his wheelchair, which he can plug into his brain to replace his eyes. He is also a very tragic character, for while he is considerate and kind, and has great sex appeal, he has severe erectile dysfunction and is immune to Viagra (which may or may not be another one of his super-powers. A super villain could spread Viagra in the water for instance, and the old man wouldn't be fazed). He got his super-powers while fighting a crocodile in the Fountain of Youth, which later turned out to be filled with radioactive water. The crocodile later mutated into a super-intelligent bear with a crocodile head and top hat and is his arch-nemesis.

His real name is Gary, but when fighting crime, he is known as... Oldman.

I never read Earth X...what happened with Thor there? And I thought that Doctor Fate was Hector Hall...?

There's been 3 different versions of Fate, that I recall. One was a man and woman who shared the body.
