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
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...*

*shifts her weight, cockroach scurries away to avoid it. Notices the insect, but not the bug*
Interesting arthropods you guys have around here.

Indeed. Never seen one of those before.

Hmm. That little critter seems to have an antenna sticking out of its thorax!

*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. *

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