And by the way, anyone reading this -- if you'd like cameos of your own teams or supers, let me know. I'd be happy to slot them in where I can. Especially if you have someone who died in action -- even though it looks like the IST NY memorial plaza has been glassed, I'm still going to list the KIAs.
But who I'd really love to see slotted in, if you have the space, is another of my characters - a name and concept I have been extremely disappointed to never see done in any mainstream media. A Chinese super, one of the country's most distinctive and recognisable metahumans.
Codename: Great Wall
(Mandarin: ??, Chángchéng)
Powers: Giant growth, super-strength and durability scaling with increased size and mass.
Description: A very large and cheerful man in red armour, with a big star on the front. A very very large man.
Look, c'mon, you know China must have a giant super going by THAT name. It's the most obvious thing ever. =)
I've generally characterised him as looking visually like Marvel's Juggernaut, but extremely calm and relaxed. I'm not sure he's actually genuinely that calm, but it's important to at least give the impression...if you're occasionally visible from space. In my own campaign notes, he actually has shrinking powers as well. The Champions Online version I play has teleport to model this, since CO-teleport works like an invisiblity-phase power. This is a carefully guarded secret; nobody expects the giant guy to be an infiltrator.
