I am going to try and post an SotM question everyday. If you have any suggestions for the question of the day, just send me a PM. Let’s get this party started!
First question:
Who(m) would you rather work for: Citizen Dawn or The Chairman. Why?
The Chairman. I'm a big fan of predictable employment, and I feel like he's more likely to offer medical, dental, annual leave and the like-- I mean, he runs a Fortune 500!
Plus, big fan of mob movies. I'd rather be in the Godfather than in the Heaven's Gate cult.
Citizen Dawn.
The only way to get in her employ is to have superpowers, so working with her means I must have superpowers, right?
EDIT: Also, I'd be paired up with someone else to make some sort of themed team, oh the fun of coming up with our name!
The Chairman. I do not have super powers, so working for Citizen Dawn will be far more hazardous to my health than working for The Chairman, probably. Plus, I would assume The Chairman has employees that aren't evil nor know of his criminal plans, so it'll be no different than right now... Other than I would have a job. Now I just realized that would mean I would live in Rook City. Lets hope that most criminals I encounter will be under The Chairman's thumb and won't bug his employees...
p.s. Matchstickman and Pydro, since I have you both here: while very stressful, my one-man-Nightmisting victory vs. Adv. Plague Rat was ludicrously straightforward a success. The rest of the team was much more useful unconscious! Especially Tempest.
...relevant because it was on Primalis, headquarters to Citizen Dawn. I find the idea of wifi and a good local burger joint there dubious at best. I much prefer the amenities offered in Pike Industries/Rook City.
The Citizens of the Sun own a surplus Mobile Defense Platform, right? So you could be cruising around in style, rather than living in a fleabag apartment in Rook City. Sign me up for Citizen Dawn. I feel like she’d care more if I got beat up fighting do-gooders, too.
If I worked for either, I'd secretly be trying to sabotage them from the inside. Then I would get strung up and killed, or barely escape with my life and be on the run forever, or be saved by the good guys.
I agree with Matchstickman in that working for Citizen Dawn means I have superpowers and at least one partner in crime always. I don't really need insurance when Citizen Dawn can just raise me from the dead.
Yeah return with the dawn seems like a pretty potent health plan to me. And i ike a smaller tighter knitted group better thugs feel quite disposable...
Well your obvious teammate would be me, since we're the same person. Citizens Leaf and Stick?
I have not seen a single bar or liquor store on Insula Primalis, and while super powers and Dinosaurs sounds awesome, I'll take Pizza and a Martini or Taco's and tequila.
Sign me up for the lowest level bookkeeping job in the Organization.
Citizens of the Sun, because dinosaurs.
I have kids I dont' want growing up in Overbrook. Citizens of the Sun it is.
New day, new question. Although, you can always answer a previous day's question.
Let's say all the heroes have to stop heroing and live a normal life. What three heroes will have the easiest time adjusting to a normal, non-heroing life, and which three heroes will have the hardest time. Why?
Easiest:
Hardest:
Aboslute Zero - He needs that suit to function and for a time isolated himself in the Cryo Chamber. He has no family to go back to which is even more evident from the bio in Sentinel Tactics when given the choice to lead his own life.
Guise - If he can't be the hero or in the spotlight what's the point really?
The Naturalist - He is assumed dead and after what he's has been though I think his best bet is to just live in the wilderness. If his promo card is any indication he would have to almost live outside of most civilization to go unnoticed.
Easiest:
Tachyon - She was a brilliant scientist before hand and could easily go back to doing research.
Haka - As seen by the Eternal Haka he can give up being a hero and just continue watching from the sidelines. It is hard to say in his lifetime what all he has done and while he might stand out I'm sure he has had periods where he isn't being a hero.
Argent Adept - He could just become a musician.
Damn you, DPT, for taking most of my answer (Bunker'd have a terrible time, though, speaking as someone who tried to go civilian from military service...). Let me see, the next three easiest:
They all have about the same reasoning.
Parse - She only pitched in at request. Parse's enhanced faculties will do just fine at trying to save the world in a traditional, genius-way with little issue.
Unity - It would not be hard to refocus her robotics skills into cybernetics, bionics and AI development, allowing for a pretty advanced world and probably considerable wealth and fame, when the threat of the world isn't restricting her to reactive heroing.
Omnitron X - Due to Omni's connectivity, I suspect it'd prove little consequence to adapt to the current technological world and find a way to be productive without punching things and being punched. The three of them could solve most of the world together as science-heroes instead of super-heroes. Add Tachyon in for flavor and we're good.
Hardest:
Tempest - Between Temp's almost-certain PTSD and alien nature and society's lack of acceptance of 'otherhood', going from hero to normal would be nearly impossible for an alien survivor who was almost captured by this government. The lack of 'purpose' perceivable, the difference in minutiae of society when forced to fully embrace it, and his alienation from standard society would be almost insurmountable.
Sky-Scraper - For many of the same reasons as Tempest, she is an alien here and without the purpose of being a warrior and her clear 'deformity' compared to mainline humans, she'd have a tough time fitting in and living 'normal'.
Chrono-Ranger - It's not "heroing" that would prove the hardest to drop, it's just the "normal life" thing that'd be hard to start. While he's good at playing the game of time-traveler, the cognitive disconnect of society would become a huge issue if he was forced to truly confront it and try to make a living wage. I expect he'd do fairly well as a bounty hunter, but his entire life has been disrupted. It couldn't be hard to try to ignore that dissonance.
Another hard one would be Ex-Patriette. She's really scarred by her experiences fighting against her mother, and would have a lot of trouble fitting in as a civilian.
Easiest
I can't think of three in each category. I think Tachyon would have an easy time, for reasons mentioned elsewhere.Let's say all the heroes have to stop heroing and live a normal life. What three heroes will have the easiest time adjusting to a normal, non-heroing life, and which three heroes will have the hardest time. Why?
I actually think Expatriette would also have an easy time, especially in the USA. I think her love of guns (and other weapons) is greater than her hatred of mommy. This would make her a valuable part of any number of places as a sniper, an assassin, a mercenary, or even a common soldier. Her biggest problem, it seems, would be not to fire at everything all the time.
On the hard side, I go with Tempest, Society at large is really suspicious of aliens, in both meanings of the word. If he/she/it weren't a superhero, I can imagine him not being treated very well.
I actually think Legacy would have an easy time, sorta like how Peter Parker's fine as a retired superhero in MC2. He has a normal, at-home family life already and I can see him retiring to pass the torch to his daughter eventually.
New question!
Based on story and theme, not difficulty, which SotM villain would you consider your nemesis? Why?
La Capitan, because Siege-Breaker.
Miss Information, because I identify most with Parse and being the only one who knew she was secretly evil would be tough!
The Chairman as he makes the city unsafe and corrupt at a street level.
I'm actually answering this question in reverse: as an atheist, Fanatic would be my nemesis early in her run. By the time we get PW Fanatic, maybe not.
The Matriarch, because the only thing I hate more than birds are wannabe Goth posers (also, Poe is super overrated)
The Chairman he is extremely organized and efficient makes my chaotic nature quake in its boots sometimes.
Wager Master. Lose before your first turn? No, thanks! Although, if I played against him more, I'd get used to him, I guess.
As a person who studies the history of theology, wouldn't A'kash Bhuta, or Gloomweaver fit better than Fanatic?
As for my nemesis I have to go with Spite. Hugs not Drugs dude.
I hate so many of the villains, it's hard to pick just one. Possibly Voss. That guy is a dick, going around enslaving entire planets.
Wager Master. It changes the laws of mathematics!
Maybe. But, I was viewing it through the lens of her unwavering belief in the existence of a god and in her own rightness. The latter sometimes hits too close to home for comfort, especially as coming out of this particular closet to my parents will probably cause an irreparable rift.
Can understand, having different beliefs than your group can be really hard
New question! As always, you can answer a previous question too!
Which superhero team would you prefer to join: The Freedom Five, The Prime Wardens, or The Dark Watch? Why?
Prime Wardens as their conflicts seem to include threats to Earth and the Galaxy.
Prime Wardens save the world from high magnitude threats with a kindergarten teacher sounds too epic. Having AA on cocktail duty with Cap Cosmic making construct couches to party on the go.
Freedom Five -- they've got the coolest clubhouse.
I… really have no idea, none of them seem directly opposed to anything I give a damn about (which isn't much). Perhaps that cueball headed villain just because they seem to be giving games and gaming a bad name?
Dark Watch. I don't need to change my wardrobe and a lot of their fighting seems to be at night, I prefer the cold windswept streets of a dark city to a brightly lit metropolis or some countryside miles from anywhere.
Dark Watch. Two of my favorite characters are on the team (Mr. Fixer, Setback). My other favorite characters aren't on a team (Omnitron-X, Sky-Scraper).
Probably the Freedom five. I'm not sure I want to be on a team with Fanatic (though I CERTAINLY don't want to be on a team opposing her). I'm also not sure I want to be on a team with Setback.
Now I'm curious why. I mean, you know my luck, but you hang out with me… 
Freedom Five would let me keep my day job. Wardens I’d be off in space too much, and I need sleep so no Dark Watch. Though to just hang with a team? Def DW. I’m scared of Fanatic and no one on the FF seems fun (well, at least Unity is and would be around).
Freedom Five - I'd love to work with Dr. Stinson and see if she could make me like/love research again.
Prime Wardens. I love magic, and their team is the most immersed in magic.
Prime Wardens, because nature and magic :D.
Hanging out with Haka, Tempest, Adept, has to be a great time. An alien, a bartender, and a Kindergarten teaching immortal warrior. Has to be a great time.
Plus fighting alongside them would be awesome.
Dark Watch is a close second, 2 of my 3 favorite characters with Expat and Fixer, but they wouldn't be nearly as much fun.
Come on! Just watching Setback trying to get through the day has got to be the most fun you can have!
Definetly the Freedom Five. Goofing off with their intern, Unity, would just be so much fun.
Today's question of the day is
Oh no! Pydro has been kidnapped by some villain and can't post today's QotD, who was it and how did you deduce this?
IT WAS ME!! MWAH HA HA HA!
It was Silverleaf! I managed to deduce this from their villainous laughter and boastful admitance of the crime.
You're unlucky? Huh. I thought you'd been lucky to survive your antics with so few incidents.
I think La Capitan has noticed a curious resemblance between Pydro and Seige-Breaker and kidnapped him to see if he is a clone, alternate reality version, fractured aspect, future incarnation, twins separated at birth or if it's just really freaky!
I have come to this conclusion because it was talk like a pirate day very recently, though linear time means nothing to La Capitan.
It was Ronway, surely? Because of the whole Cursed Acolyte vs Siege Breaker thing ;).
Kidnapping takes too much effort. I prefer burning people where they stand.
First, new rule! If I don’t post a question by 12:00 PM Central on any day, anyone else can. Hooray!
New question!
You are looking through the high school yearbooks of the heroes and villains of SotM. Pick five characters, how does the yearbook finish this sentence, “Most likely to…”.
Ivan Ramonat: Most likely to end Western Oppression of the world.
Meredith Stinson: most likely to cure cancer.
Ryan Frost: most likely to burn down the School.
Gabrielle Adhin: most likely to succeed.
Dawn Cohen: most likely to become Prime Minister.
Who's Gabrielle Adhin? I don't recognise that name...
Youre losing your touch!
Roderick Ward: Most likely to follow in the footsteps of greatness... without looking.
Cassandra A. Lilya: Most likely to lose her voice.
Pete Riske: No entry, printer studio burned down when printing year books. Every year.
Joseph King: Most likely to retcon this entry.
Paul Parsons: Most likely to lead us into a new world.
Meredith Stinson: Most likely to be a millionaire by age 30.
Lillian Corvus: Most likely to be self-published.
Harry Walker: Most likely to stick it to the man
Paige Huntley: Most likely to charm the pants off the opposite sex
Michael Conteh: Most likely to own a personal army.
Ryan Frost: Most likely to be late for graduation.
Peter Riske: Most likely to trip during graduation
Maria Helena Teresa Fafila Servanda Jimena Mansuara Paterna Domenga Gelvira Placia Sendina Belita Eufemia Columba Gontina Aldonza Mafalda Cristina Tegrida de Falcon: Most likely to have somebody slip on her name
Grahm Pike: Most likely to become a successful business man
Aata Wakarewarewa: Most likely to survive an apocalypse
Rainek Kel-Voss: Most likely to become a succesful Biologist
New day, new question!
The Sentinels' universe is very story driven (hell, it was literally built from stories Christopher and Adam concocted). What are the titles of some of the stories/books sentinel characters would write?
I'm gonna go for the easy one.
Furthering Your Father's Legacy: Memoirs collected from the Parsons family, as annotated by Pauline Parsons.
Introductory Physics for the 21st Century, by Meredith Stinson.
The Shadow of Night, by Lillian Corvus.
I'll take the easiest of them all:
The Best Book! by Guise
Automechanics with your Eyes Closed - H. R. Walker
An Infinite Number of Monkeys - Pete Riske, noteably the greatest book to never make it to press.
Knowing Oneself, by Vanessa Long
Successful Business for the Man Willing to do Anything by Grahm Pike
Potassium permaganate inhibitors and their applications to malignant neoplasms, by Dr. Stinson, Eaken-Rubendall Laboratories
Followed by his how-to manual:
How To Be The Best Character In A Comic Book Universe
How to Keep a Cool Head by Ryan Frost.
Long's Sports Almanac
I was hoping that something serious would strike me but I'm going to have to stick with
Promise them the moon: Baron Blade's dating tips.
And a new question
Oh no! Pydro has been delayed while getting to his computer at work and can't post today's QotD, what exciting new excuse will he give that would be ridiculous in our universe but entirely plausible in a Sentinels one?
A weird reptilian humanoid figure caused a major catastrophe at his home.
Delayed by a traffic jam caused by omnitrons attack on the city
Rescuing a "cat" stuck in a tree.
I had to bury my future self who traveled back to stop my evil twin from killing me and taking my place, apparently I'm going to invent something so important that all the world leaders want to meet me and my evil twin would have used that to replace them with clones and secretly ruled the world, that's why I'm 5 minutes late to your stupid meeting.
Also I wont be around to post a new question today or tomorrow, I have to travel to the future to save Craig from Paul (whose cybernetic implants run amok when he gets a virus ... I apologise about wrecking your forklift in advance).
He fell through a random time rift just as he was about to sit down at his computer and ended up in the Final Wasteland. He was assisted by Con to get back to his own time but La Capitan intercepted him as he was falling back through time and he ended up imprisoned on her ship for a while, before she was accosted by the Sentinels and in the ensuing chaos he managed to escape, ending up somewhere else. He proceeded to have a whole bunch of adventures throughout different time periods and locations, lasting (at least) several months of his life, then finally managed to get dropped off in his own time period by Chrono Ranger, right in front of his computer. At which point, as it was several months ago for him, he couldn't remember what it was he was going to do so went off and did something else instead.
New day, new question! However, please keep answering the old ones (that was fun).
On Imbued Vitality, we get to see what one of the hero’s equipment would say and do if it came alive. What would another piece of a hero’s equipment say and do?
"'Cause i'm hot then i'm cold. I'll punch and then i'll throw." - Elemental Subwave Inducer
I tried coming up with more of it, but I couldn't get the rest of the damage types to flow as well.
"Are you sure you can handle on this situation? Get it, Slim? Huh? Huh?"
-Jack handle.
"Let go of my neck! Come see the violence inherent in the system." Pipe Wrench
"Caw!" "Caw!" -- Dual Crowbars
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." -Expatriette's handguns
"You know, there are times when it is appropriate to take me off. I don't need to witness everything you do." The Legacy Ring.
“Whaddaya mean, strength? Is that a crack about my weight?”

A little late, but new question!
Haka is teaching some kids when a villain starts attacking. Not to lose an oppurtunity, he continues teaching using the action as a visual aid. Which villain is attacking, and what is Haka teaching?
Baron Blade with a few Blade Battalions, of course. Haka is teaching subtraction.
Akash'Bhuta, and he's teaching geology.
The Matriarch, and he's teaching them to play Badminton
Kismet, Haka's teaching statistics
La Capitan, Haka's teaching History
Proletariat, math/multiplication
Omnitron , robotics
The chairman, politics
Citizen Dawn, thermodynamics
Friction, to both questions.
New day, new question!
Uh, oh! It's Freaky Friday, and all of the SotM characters are switching bodies. What happens when one character finds themselves in someone else's body?
All of the Freedom Five swith bodies:
Legacy ends up with Wraith's body, He immediatly tries and takes flight and fails miserably, falling on the ground with a THUD
Wraith ends up in Absolute Zero's body, and immediatley ends up with a really bad case of the shivers, trying to leave the cryo chamber she feels nothing but an overwhelming pain, as if somebody set her on fire. She instead sits in the chamber, and thinks about how she could modify the suit to shoot projectiles
Abs. Zero ends up in Bunker's body. The first thing he noticed was that his skin did not feel like dry Ice. Not being a stranger, he's fairly used to the mechanical exoskeleton. But it's much more advanced than his suit. As he tries to get used to operating it, he accidentally blows a hole in the side of the wall.
Bunker ends up in Tachyon's body, but isn't used to being that fast, and immediatley crashes into some lab equipment. After a while of getting used to the speediness, he tries to continue her research, but it didn't make too much sense to him
Finally Tachyon ends up in Legacy's body. Knowing what kind of odd stuff he can do, curiosity gets the best of her, she goes to her secondary lab and performs some self experiments, trying her best to figure out exactly what part of his genetics gives him all those powers.
Tachyon suddenly bans Unity from the lab.
Unity is suprised to find all the security codes changed and works to convince everyone that she is actually Tachyon and that Unity is in the lab unsupervised.
After resolving the mix-up and cleaning up the lab Tachyon is not amused to find her notes for the day read simply "Best Day Ever!"
I think the first thing AZ would do in Bunker's body is get out of the suit and live a day like a normal person for the first time in a decade.
Mr Fixer swaps with...well, pretty much anyone, and is overwhelmed by suddenly being able to se for the first time in his life.
Nightmist wakes up in a telekinetic coccoon and Visionary ends up in mist form. Both decide to wait it out and let the other heroes fix it.
Parse and Fixer changing would be insane.
I'm the star of this here partnership - Jim's Badge
Haka teaches the kids that crime doesn't pay, money doesn't stop someone from being a jerk and that material welath isn't everything, thanks to Ermine dropping by.
Setback switches with Mr Fixer but as his hat was over his eyes when it happened he has no idea a swap occured!
Mr Fixer however can remove the hat and sees that his workshop is just as he knew it would be and goes about his day, caring not that he is in this new body.
Setback switches with expatriette (with hands on pride and predjudice). Being startled, he flinches and accidentally shoots his body in the foot
Oh no! Pydro can't post today's question because he bought an off-brand version of AZ's Flash Freeze Instant Ice Cubes and accidentally froze himself to the spot! What new/existing products would the character in SotM be most likely to endorse?
Guise endorses the Power, Play, Draw shirt and Mr Chomps plushie on Selling Out!
Tachyon would endorse Jimmy Johns who deliver sandwiches freaky fast
Legacy endorses America!
Pete Riske endorses Aflac.
Nightmist endorses Elder Sign.
New day, new question! As always, you can continue to answer the previous questions.
All villains seem to make the same problem, their evil plans are just too big. Being too big, the heroes easily noticed them, and, or course, stop the plans. However, if they had much smaller evil plans, the heroes either wouldn't notice or wouldn't care. Pick a villain. What would be that villain's small evil plan?
The Chairman, wearing socks and sandals on casual Friday! Oh the humanity!!!
Baron Blade steals chocolate a from a small child,unfortunately it’s the dreamer and everything goes wrong
Apostate goes to a church service and makes everyone in that congregation feel uncomfortable.
The Matriarch has her birds follow her Principal around and stare at him
Omnitron replaces every error message with "Are you sure you want to format c:\? [Sure] [Of course] [Yes]", but none of the buttons actually do anything.
Gloomweaver causes a traffic jam and feeds on the resulting suffering.
Citizen Dawn starts a chain of restaurants called "Citizen Slice and Citizen Dice" that will soon have influence over all corners of the earth. They only hire if you have supernatural powers, thus providing a discriminatory work environment (The horror! The horror!)
Is that a pizza and board games joint?
The Chairman sends his Enforcers and Thieves out to steal a few single socks from everyone's laundry.
That explains so much…
Akash'Bhuta causes the floor of every house to become slightly slanted, so that nothing stands up straight but no-one can quite figure out why.
New day, new question!
Pick a hero. What single non-character card in that hero’s deck best represents that hero? Why?
Setback: Reckless Rush. Shows him hurting himself to hurt the enemy, but also combos well with Wrong Time and Place to hurt the enemy at practically no cost to himself or at a better return rate of self-damage to enemy damage with High-Risk Behavior.
Guise: Best Card Ever! This card depicts that Guise is about showing up the other heroes, he has to have all the best stuff, and the flavor text is the prime example of him breaking the fourth wall. He gets everything out of the card you could want card draw, health, damage, and the option to still play another card.
Ra: Wrathful Gaze. Although the least powerful card, and least related mechanically, Wrathful Gaze perfectly depicts Ra's godly power and scorn.
Legacy: Heroic Interception - This card shows the lengths Legacy is willing to go protect others as he is sacrificing his own body to stop an incoming missile.
Tempest: Aquatic Correspondence -- Tempest is talking to a fish! How great is that!?
I’d say Gene-Bound Shackles for Tempest, personally…
The Dreamer would advertise EZ-Sleepytime beds, so low to the ground there can't possibly be a monster hiding under them!
Ambuscade gets to see Haka's lesson plan for next week, he hunts down all the art supply shops in the local area and steals all the glitter! What will those poor kindergarteners do in Haka's painting lesson on Friday?
I pick K.N.Y.F.E.'s For The Greater Good. Doing the job that is in front of her, whatever the cost to her.
Oh no! Something seems to have happened to the last few Question of the Day questions! They have been stolen/removed from the time stream/quietly swept under the carpet after they were exploded, what happened to them and who caused it?
The thoughts were devoured by the Tendrils of Madness placed there by a younger La Capitan.
Setback visited Tachyon's lab. The rest is no longer history.
La Capitan has stolen them in order to remove all traces of her presence.
Unity created QotD Bot, but it didn't understand its function and tried to post every question ever in a single day.
Kreeg deleted the account as he thought it was a Spam Bot, blame our Community Overlord!
New question!
Pick a charcter. What is that character’s catch phrase?
Setback – "I got it!"
Three words: Mongolian Death-Worm.
The easy one first as he has a phrase in his character card
Guise - You were expecting someone else?
Chrono Ranger - You are out of time!
Haka - Ha ha! Bring it on!
Absolute Zero - Time to cool down!
The Matriarch: "Time for some fowl play"
"Brains" -Zombie #5
“Pants” -Zombie from destroying the Cursed Acolyte
"This one goes to eleven." The Argent Adept.
Baron Blade: "This device...." (fill in the monolog)
Hm… Ra has a couple good lines on his cards, but I think I'm going to borrow a line from the Magic card Prodigal Pyromancer for his phrase:
LEARN TO BURN!
Alternative options:
"Feel the all-engulfing might of the sun god!"
"FOOLISH CREATURE! STAND NOT BEFORE RA!"
“Of course you should fight fire with fire. You should fight everything with fire!”
New day, new question!
It is not always easy picking the “just right” super-hero/villain name. Pick a charcter. What was a rejected name for that charcter?
Legacy's rejected name was heritage. Furthering your father's heritage just didn't have the right ring to it.
Guise's rejected name was Ambush Bug after Guise realized there was an obscure DC character with the same name.
Wraith's rejected name was the Specter but it didn't sound as intimidating.
Citizen Dawn wanted to be called Cleric Dawn but names don't line up quite as well when you get to Cleric Hack and Cleric Slash
Setback's original name was Trouble.
I'm pretty sure he's still called that…
The Chairman went through a few synonyms before settling on his name, The Monitor and The Toastmaster didn't really inspire the same level of confidence.
Ex-Patriette rejected Deadeye.
Plague Rat's rejected name was Rat-Man
Plague Rat wanted to be called "Snrrrlrhissrgrrrrrrrr" but his PR team couldn't decide how to spell it and quietly switched it on the forms.
WOW
Is that a good wow or a bad one? I just meant rejected as in "considered and decided not to use…"
That's both a good AND a bad wow, because you've made a direct reference to the fact that one of her eyes is dead, while also using an idiom that refers to her excellent aim, so well done in finding two such excellent meanings summed up in one name, BUT I think she'd kill you for referring to her dead eye, so bad player, no biscuit.
Well, thank you. I worked hard on that one, especially because I didn't think it was a name already in use by any other comic book hero (that I knew of).
And I prefer to think of her eye as missing rather than dead. Maybe it's that I just finished listening to The Eye of the World, and am almost all the way through the first disk of the Great Hunt, and therefore have Mat Cauthon on the brain.
New Question of the day:
Halloween recently passed where I live, my son dressed up as Ra, his favorite SOTM hero. If you were to dress up as a one of the heroes of the multiverse who would you choose and why?
That's easy it would be Guise since he is the best hero.
Setback! He's my favorite and I look a bit like him.
It would be awfully strange if Halloween hasn’t recently passed “where you live.” Was there a risk it wouldn’t? Did you misplace a temporal grenade, cnranger?
Which hero, eh? So much for choosing The Deputy …
Omnitron X would be awesome.
Siege-Breaker, because a villain is the hero of their own story.
Dr. Medico.
Well besides time travel shenanigans, I was not sure how widely celebrated Halloween is around the world, and didn't feel like looking it up.
The thing is, there's no dispute over the date of Halloween*, so regardless of whether anyone has celebrated it, it's either passed or it hasn't.
Fair enough.
My son was GI Bunker. Pic in another thread.
I'd be the Adept.
Because I love the story of these two characters and my wife and I are the ethnicities of the characters, I would dress up as Mr. Fixer and she as The Operative.
I have a Ra costume I put a decent amount of time into that I really want to complete with a Staff of Ra, but that's going to require I find/make a 3-D print model of the head into which I can fit the gem and electronics (which I already have).
(Yeah, if anyone can help with that, I'd be willing to pay. 
)
Being hairless, the other options for me have been Absolute Zero (which I really want to do, but I'm an engineer by training so I want to do it right, and that will take more time than I have right now), The Chairman's Muscle (which I really want to do, even if it's a less-well-known character), Imprisoned Rogue (also want to do, but that's a little… on-the-head 
), and cross-gendered Visionary (which I really need to look into).
Aren't you always cosplaying as the Imprisoned Rogue?
You could also search for Raiders of the Lost Ark replicas.
That's way cooler than my son's PVC pipe, spray painted gold, with a cardboard head! Unfortunately no one who we haven't personally indroduced Sentinels to recognized who he was. Most assumed a pharoah though one said egyptian princess.
Suggestion: a bit of birdhouse gauze for structure and shape and some paper machee for layering and final shape.Top it off with some gold paint and you have a head with place for electronics 
Kinda. Just need the outfit…

Hey, that's pretty awesome! I don't even have a staff, right now, so he's ahead of me! 
And I get that a lot, unfortunately. (Although Egyptian princess is a new one…) I actually have cards I carry with an image of Ra from the game (and a small ad for the game) that I give folks who don't know who I'm dressed as.
Yeah, I'm a geek.

Thanks, Bas! I started looking into options like that (although that's a lot simpler/better than I was pursuing: handcarving it from wood! 
), but decided I wanted something I could easily replace if it should break. Because I know me.
You could hand carve it out of wood. Then use the carving as a positive to make a mold and cast as many as you like.
My whole family and tons of my friends love SotM! We love the all of the official expansions (mega and mini), a couple of promos we have and a fan created expansion! Its easy to get a five player game going. I was wondering if there is a possible re-release of the past promo cards coming. We’ve preordered the next expansion and oversized villain cards. We hunger for more, running tournaments. Variants are excellent and new material is more than welcome! Any suggestions? Or news of promos?
Once the game is complete, they will be releasing a promo pack that will contain all promos. The end is nigh.
And if you're desperate to play with the promos before the full pack release, you can print them on card stock, I believe there's a good quality pdf on spiff's website. I have the earlier ones (before I bought the game and could obtain promos) printed out, and given I sleeve the character cards for my game, you barely notice that they're slightly different stock.
Even if you don't have proper cards on which to get the promos printed, worst case scenario you can just scrawl down their details on a piece of paper and use that (you only need hp, base power, and incap abilities, after all) :D.
I totally did this when I first heard about the promo cards!
It's been a while since somebody has posted a question here, so I'll post one: Your birthday is coming up, and you can invite any one hero to go. Which hero would you choose? Why? What do you think they would do while they were at the party? (i.e. would Haka eat all the cake? Would Setback pop the bounce house on accident?)
Interesting set up. This isn't pick one hero to have a conversation with or hang out with, but specifically to invite to your birthday party.
Guise.
I'd be nervous as hell about what he'd actually do, but I can't imagine anyone who would enliven a party more.
Haka. Hands-down.
Why? Go search the forums for Christopher’s story about Tachyon, Expatriette, Mainstay, and Haka walking into a bar.
He would be simultaneously the most fun-loving and the most thoughtful guy at the party.
Ra.
Of course, you'd never get those candles blown out.
