Prodiguy

Experiment rolled his eyes, smirking slightly at the mention of food. "I guess I could eat... The last thing I ate, I believe, was covered in all types of minerals and body parts. Granted, I didn't MEAN to eat it, but still..."

Experiment walked quickly to the grill and grabbed two food-stuffs in his armoured hands, nibbling on the edges the second he had it.

This time, Experiment stepped behind Hallucinogen, but instead of threatening to throw him into the water, smacked the back of his head.

"Earth to Hal, do you read? This is Stop-Staring station, preparing for landing..."

Experiment smirked almost evilly, sidestepping slowly behind Essex. "So... You want to go in the water, eh?" he snickered, making his intention obvious. "Well, unless you don't wish to change into some sort of swimming costume before being thrown in, I suggest you run..."

"Uh..." Experiment stood up straight, lowering his arms with a very confused face.

"...So... Do we win? Can we arrest them now?"

Experiment chuckled quietly, turning to Hallucinogen. "Aw, come on! these guys are pretty funny when they are not trying to rip out our internal organs, and or Essie's wiring."

2.0 blinked. glancing around once again.

"...Was somethin' supposed to happen?" he muttered, before shrugging indifferently.

Well, since everyone else is talking about the families...

Experiment has a father, mother, and a sister, all living in a normal apartment in Kings Row. Every single member of his family has powers.

His father is telekinetic and telepathic, his mother can use healing powers and use her empathetic feelings to create force fields, and his sister can use different forms of dark powers. However, none of them are heroes.

His father retired with his mother after they grew old, and his sister, Jenny Ballard, is only 17, and wishes to finish college before going anywhere, either in her heroing or educational careers.

"Cool! I love breaking ice!" yelled Pyro loudly at Helper's suggestion, "It cracks and breaks and melts... It feels awesome!"

"He means as in to 'break the ice', or stop the situation being awkward and get to know the people." sighed the armoured hero.

"...Oh... Well, I don't like socializing..."

"Too bad for you. Now shut up."

I noticed something a while ago in hero stories...

Most heroes have no parents. I mean, come on, not EVERY hero loses their parents to become heroes! After all, look at Essex!

No, not that way Hal.

She has a 'father', and she is a perfectly good heal-bot!

Hell, even 2.0 has parents! I was planning to bring them in in MotM, but seeing as how that has died again...

Talking of which, thanks a lot Hal! Your mutant power has totally weirded out the posting times! You used Mutation didn't you... Don't you know everything completely crashes soon after its use? Jeez!

>.>
<.<

*Looks at Game of Cosmic Chess once again, comparing his own death to this description.*

...I may have to steal a phrase from Pstorm here...

HAX!

Experiment rolled his eyes at Rosalind, sighing once again. "Ugh. 'Neutrals'... Pfft. They are worse than those 'heroes' who murder, maim, kill and steal while having horns growing out of their head. Neutrals are practically villains." he muttered to himself quietly, following the others around the area.

"...Does this place have a lab?" he said out loud, seeing if perhaps they were being monitered, "I need to make stuff. I am getting bored."

Well, as far as I am concerned, after facing Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts, with his... What was it, Soul Harvest? Some kind of cool, instantly kill move, I think he is DAMN tough, and therefore, owns people.

My favourite villain, however, has got to be...

Wow. That is sad.

I have no favourite villain.

None of them are intelligent enough for my tastes, except maybe Dr. Doom...

Experiment had spent this whole argument trying to figure out how the hell HE had been paired with a villain.

"I mean, come on! I am, like, the most anti-villain person here! I don't even like Lassie over there, and according to her, she isn't even a villain!" he moaned, sighing in distress.

"Aw, cheer up, shiny! We're gonna have lotsa fun!" came Pyro's reply, a slight flame curling up his arm.

Experiment raised his eyebrow, sighing again.

"Hey, if anyone wants a living lamp, you can take my 'roomie' with you."

*Sneaks up to trophy... Sneakily.*

*Spraypaints 'Leo wuz here' on to the back.*

Ack! You fiend!

Blah, you would THINK so!

Experiment is almost a carbon copy of me, but I lack the intelligence. I am clumsy, love tech, hell, if he were younger, he would probably look just like me, and he slings out what he believes are witty one-liners and jokes half the time he is 'onscreen'. However, he ALSO knows when his jokes suck, much like myself.

His need to protect his friends and stop evil-doers is an exagerated version of my own beliefs. If my friends are having trouble, I will help them in any way necessary, as well as stop anyone from committing crimes, if possible.

Yes, that DOES mean I have super powers!

...Okay, maybe we have a FEW differences...

Experiment looked up, sighing as he stepped forward. "I am Experiment 2.0, hero of the city and tactical and technical aid of the Longbow Organization in many endevours. I use technology, my slightly weak mutation, and my natural skills in acrobatics and intelligence to fight crime in Paragon City."

2.0 nodded, dusting his arm off in an obvious 'that went well' way.

The orange and red armoured villain stepped forward. "I am Pyro-Technis, and I like burnin' stuff."

Experiment spun in mid-air to achieve his balance from the forceful push of the earth, sliding to a stop and coughing slightly. "Ugh... Ya damn ninja... Always making it harder than it needs to be to defeat you."

Spines erupted from his arms, one aiming for Namikaze, and the other for Sunako. "Now, can we all just calm down and see if we can't interrogate you PEACEFULLY?"

[Edit: Bah, my slow typing and myself do not mix.]

[OMGedit2: <.< *Makes sure the $20 bribe is still in Tom's hand. >.>]

Overhead, a puttering, and then a total shutoff of jets could be heard, followed by the girlish screaming of Experiment 2.0, smacking into the ground at full force. His armour saved him, and oddly enough, his worst injury seemed to be a cut on his cheek.

Before, of course, a small stream of blood started flowing from his forehead, but that doesn't matter so much.

He dusted himself off, pulling out an already blood-soaked napkin. He wiped his face and head, healing them instantly, apparently from some substance the napkin had inside it.

He pulled out a slightly crumpled envelope, reading the note once again. He looked up at the mansion, shrugging. "Eh, it must be some kind of survey or something..."

"Or perhaps, Experiment, it could be some sort of contest?" came a grainy voice from behind the hero.

2.0 turned, his eyes wide as he saw a red-haired, floating human with such a disfigured face it was almost unimaginable. In fact, as far as he knew, the mouth was only supposed to be on the bottom half of the face, not most of it there and some melted onto the chin.

"...Uh... And you are...?"

"Pyro-Technis, known as one of the best pyromaniacs in the Rogue Isles."

"...You should meet Burning Brawler. If he weren't married, you two would make a good couple."

Pyro pulled a slightly charred note from his armor, checking the address once again. "Well, I suppose we should go in. Coming, 2.0, or must I drag you?"

"...I don't even KNOW you, you are NOT touching me." muttered the hero, following the villain toward the mansion.

"Well well well, what have we here? Started the party without me?"

Experiment flew above the battle quickly, getting what he would call a good vantage point. He eyed out Namikaze, seeing he was down while his counterparts were in battle.

"Hmm...."

2.0 landed, walking slowly toward the ninja. "That detective thinks we are crazy because of you guys. He may not be far off in the skeleton's case, but still. If we send you to the Zig, I can finally prove my intelligence actually means something."

2.0 unsheathed his spines once again, the same knockout neurotoxin on the tips. "So, time to go beddy bye, little ninja."

((I knew it! Nobody can keep a drama wh0re down!))

Experiment's smile could not have widened any more than it had at the mention of strawberry shortcake.

"Huzzah! I love strawberries!" he shouted, practically jumping up and down in delight.

((That is, yet again, ANOTHER thing me and 2.0 have in common. Strawberry love FTW!!!))

I'm in a bit of a quandry over a character I recently created. She's a natural scrapper and I'm not sure how to handle the travel power, so I thought I'd see what some other people had to say.

The concept is an agile fighter who gets around via a grapple line and a cape/glider. My question is; do I use Fly or Super Jump? Fly more closely imitates the act of gliding, but Super Jump has the nice "open arms" pose for gliding that Fly lacks. I'm not really interested in which power is better for in-game travel, just which one best fits the concept.

So, what do you think?

Super Jump
why?
Not only does it fit the 'gliding' aspect better (in the words of Woody from Toy Story, gliding isn't flying, it's 'Falling with Style') but it's actually the game's superior travel power anyway. The only disadvantage is you can't go as high as a flyer or teleporter. But that's what temp powers are for.

Bah, so says you. If you know how to perform the 'window-climb', it is easy to get to the top of even the tallest skyscraper in Steel Canyon.

Well, to me, it seems Superjump makes the most sense. For instance, it could look like she is using a hook to get to a high place, and then proceeds to glide downward. Granted, the 'gliding' is rather fast, but still...

The robotic menace roared in a simulated version of pain, looking around for the one who had caused this 'pain'.

The mastermind sat at his seat, the transmitter currently deactivated as he chuckled.

"I honestly thought it would be hard to fool the 'great' Experiment 2.0. Fah! He even brought along a few more heroes to kill! Plus, some of them don't even look that heroic. Are they some trolls I see? A multi-colored, sentient suit of armor? Hah! He really has scraped the bottom of the bowl."

However, during his small monologue, the villain had laid his feet on his desk, hitting the transmitter once again at the word 'Plus,' meaning everything afterward had been transmitted down to the heroes and villains attacking, and easily destroying, the robotic creature.

Some of you may have noticed the spontaneous new character created in Final Fight, no? This 'Earthbound Angel' character was actually a very spontaneous idea, created in the back of my mind, I believe, during a Business Concepts class.

Through the Fire and the Flames - Earthbound's Theme.

It is a seven minute song, and don't expect anything truly heaven-like. He may be an angel, but to the 7th layer of hell if I am going to make an ANGELIC angel.
