Alpha Flight tribute thread aka Create Your Own 'National Superteam'

A pub game prompted by Al not realising that Puck was named after a hockey puck, prompting some debate over what a stereotypical football-derived superhero would be (conclusion: Offside. His arch villain would be The Hooligan in burberry spandex.) We decided that Offside would be joined on his super-adventures by the likes of the sexy jodphur-clad Tally Ho, Scots super-strongman Caber and a moody Belfast teen called Trouble. An attempt to create 'France Flight' got as far as Baguette so we turn this over to the minds of ILC...

All-Female France Flight:

Madame Guillotine: her thorax is a guillotine. She wears frilly red lingerie.

Bustier: Standard-issue sweater rockets. She wears frilly blue lingerie.

The Bicyclist - fear his onions!

Ha - I inadvertently included an AUSTRIAN hero in France Force One, which is actually what would probably happen if they were created in the pre-Interweb era.

Germany
The Iron Chancellor- a body made of steel, a heart of iron
Kaiser Wilhelm-can throw bread rolls at will
Der Fuhrer-well, you know
The Bavarian Pretzel-can twist his body into knots
The Beer Wench-her breath intoxicates even the most stalwart of men
And it's rebel American contingent, Wisconsin

its, for shame

jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 29 March 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

Haha, Jocelyn! I was going to do this one anyway:

The Wisconsinists
--Der Hunter, able to turn his enemies blaze orange and pick them off with a rifle
--The Brewer, batters opponents with a hail of yeast
--Deepest Fry, self-explanatory

Their nemesis is Doctor (Seasonal Affectiveness) Disorder, who wields snow chains and depression.
