I'm trying to write the battle of the first major supervillain Captain Venture took down. He basically would have advanced computers and virtual reality for years had he not used his powers for evil. A computer programmer who can control video game characters and make them come to life, his goal is to take the world's quarters (yes, I'm still stealing from Futurama). His name: The Quarter Master.
I've also already written excerpts of skirmishes with the Groovy Goon (who has a giant disco robot), The Downsizer (he's bad business) and the Lab Rat (he wants to experiment on humanity, making people go through his diabolical maze).
I've got a few more ideas, plus some good ones from Abby and Austin, but I need plenty more.

This may be a little too obscure, but I've been getting into 1980s-era Marvel comics again, and the thing that cracks me up is every time they talk about a superheroes costume (the yellow Wolverine spandex, for example), they explain that its special properties are due to "unstable molecules." Unstable molecules are what makes the Ant-Man's costume shrink when he shrinks; it's what makes the costumes form fitting, etc.
So...I was thinking it'd be funny if you had a scene where someone does a riff on this weird idea of unstable molecules. Either in complaining about previous costumes ("uh, we decided to go with stable molecules again"), or for some other reason.
Please???
Fortunately, my costume had "unstable molecules" when the growth ray was used on me.
Unfortunately, my white cotton briefs had stable molecules when the growth ray was used on me.
I've been reading some of Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-men (it's my current reading assignment from Ruben) and was very amused to find several mentions of unstable molecules. I also like how they give bogus scientific explanations for all of the mutations.
So much fun.
This might not be the most brilliant suggestion but it might be interesting to see a superhero whose super power is what they fear the most. Like a Spiderman with Arachniphobia or an Aquaman with hydrophobia.
Excellent, Jill, excellent.
We shall see to it that George's movie is full of disfunctional superheroes.
Did I misspell dysfunctional???
Jill, I think you've just started a great idea for a segment I will put in: Superhero Support Groups (my nod to "Fight Club").
And Austin: The Spell Caster! His goal is to rid the world of spelling errors and typos!
How about: Smirking Dirk, all-around varsity superhero, specializes in punishing evildoers who claim they're only villains because they were picked on in high school?
