Weird supervillians

[kengr]

I got this one of the Traveller RPG Mailing List.

A long time ago one of the odder (but fun) members designed the PMPP (Pelvic Mounted Plasma Projector). Which this villian's weapon resembles *way* too much.

I don't want to think about recoil effects...

Well, most plasma projection devices have a pretty low recoil. [it's plasma, it doesn't have much mass.]... and I think Codpiece used something similar, maybe. [I'm glad I've never read the comic with him in. WTH were they thinking?]

Soooo... I dunno. a solid truss supporting the cannon, transferring the recoil to the hips and maybe he's ok...

Still the stupidest idea I've ever heard of though... I mean c'mon, he's just strapped an explosive device to his crotch! One nut shot from the hero and his bits are toast!

Penthouse Comics actually had one of their female heroes fight a villain named the Ejaculator. Same concept, only it wasn't plasma...

(Yeah. Eeewww...)

EEEWWW! :(

I need a properly grossed-out icon. The ack! one is the closest I have.

Lees gross but still out there was some female super whose power was to mesmerize her opponents with her breasts.

[chanter1944]

Still icky, but at least it's not the power of actual genitalia!

Silly, rather than gross was Tenyari's "Naked Girl". She was Native American and got her powers from Coyote (though she didn't figure that out for a while).

Being the Trickster (and male) He thought it was funny to have her powers *make* her naked (and somewhat improved physically).

She could wear clothes in her civilian ID, but if she powered up, her clothes would disintegrate.

She was able to wear a belt (sort of a utility belt) and carry a shoulder bag of stuff.

Though the first time she tried the shoulder bag it disintegrated when she shifted it to cover her crotch.

Very silly, but treated in a straight-forward manner. :-)

Picture her applying at Pine Island (though as I recall she was a college student)
