Name: android82

Powers: Ability to cut through misinformation like a hot spoon through ice cream. Fine-tuned baloney detection kit. Can use rehashed cliches to cloud enemies minds. Also skilled at kung fu, cooking, chemistry, geology, and model airplane building. Feminine form conceals halfback-like build. Hobbies include saving marine wetlands and endangered species, scuba diving, and professional shopping-cart racing.

So?!?!? Can I join?

Let's see.

Name... I can picture "Android 82" on the front of a Marvel Comic. It'll do nicely.

Some of those super powers would be a valuable addition to the team, especially the cooking. Anything'll be an improvement on the gadawful gruel we get here.

I'm intrigued to know how a feminine form can conceal half-back proportions. Is that some kind of Tardis effect? Perhaps it doesn't do to enquire too closely...

I appear to be the only one around taking the enquiries, strangely enough. I'm an old hand here who's been away for a while and I get back to find the place almost desrted. Unforgivable! Sorry you had to wait.

But yes, I think we can let you in. The costume department is just down the hall to your right. Just a word of warning, latex is going out of fashion in heroing. So I'm told...

Thanks! I'll be sure to make my pumpkin dip!

I don't mind waiting either. My alter ego's (several) day jobs take up a lot of time, but I'll always arrive in the knick of time!

Do I need a cape? I was thinking something of an Indiana Jones getup, with the bomber jacket and the fedora. This is my first shot at being a superhero, so I'm open to any suggestions.

And as for the halfback proportions thing... yeah... I might have overexaggerated a bit (I was tired, and had just shaken off 30 physics problems), but I was a running back on the intramural (American) football team, and I was pretty decent at it, too.

Down the hall and to the right? Thanks! *sprints off.

*calls after*

Don't worry so much about the cape! Indiana Jones will do just fine!

Are we open? I don't know. My key still works anyway.
But I suppose you came in through the window, Doctor. Being an assassin and all.

Isn't there a fad for "dark-souled" superheroes these days?

*there is a flash of light followed by a smallish sonic boom caused by the rush of displaced air from a fast moving man shaped object*

*standing there cape billowing in a non-existant breeze, grey eyes fixed in a steely "just-try-any-funny-business-and-you're-toast-you-villain" kind of stare is Red Dog the acting, acting, acting leader of H2G2's Super-Heroes *

*nods in a comaradely fashion to Inkwash*

Closed ?

*laughs in a friendly bemsused way*

I think not as long as there are Villains out there to thwart smiley - winkeye

We are most certainly open and have merely "moved" to better more upscale premises and repositioned ourselves as crimefighters with a dark more edgy side - we're not perfect and we make mistakes.

~whispers an aside to Inkwash~

Just between the two of us I do think that in hindsight multi-coloured spandex is a huge mistake and a bit of a deadend, fashion statement wise - it's so 1930's isn't it ..... and when you try to accessorize, I mean it's just impossible ..... and don't tell me about how it shows all the lumps and bumps !!!

*Android82 walks back in, dressed almost exactly like Indiana Jones, except with a shorter jacket and carrying a rock hammer instead of a whip*

This is it! I know it's kind of plain, but I think it suits me, considering my super powers are limited to deduction, cooking, and martial arts.

*Looks at Dr.Anthea.* Assassins can be superheroes! It all depends on who you're trying to assassinate.

By the way, don't know if I've said this, but it's nice to meet you all!

*A mechanical cockroach left under the carpetting by Mayhem, Inc., on their way through CHOPPERS headquarters the last time around, lets out with a whir a tiny satellite dish - relaying the news of an addition of more heros against the cause...*

*The bug scurries between android82's legs, and makes for a small crack in the far wall like its the last thing in its little buggy life to do. 'Course, it probably is, but hey - let's not fault the bug that. smiley - winkeye*

With no particular superpowers to help him in this situation, Inky must rely on sheer guts and determination.

*dashes for the hole in the wall and waits with an open jar*
