Make up a weird superheroe

Angus McDeath: Scottish Warrior from the 12th centrury, who lived in the scottish highlands. He was the most feared fighter with no remorse or consious. His weird quirk is that he loves Long walks on the beach, poetry and killing sprees. Angus was the thorn on the british isles back side.

The Yellow Streak - a super-speedster (like The Flash), but who is a complete and total coward.

Obliterator X

A normal guy who died in the year 2050. Before he died, however, he had scientists download his brain information and keep it in a computer until an android body was developed. However, he had to wait 200 years for that body--and it turned out to be a superpowerful combat droid. Unfortunately, he was betrayed as soon as he entered the android's circutry. Upon activation, the combat droid's targeting systems went haywire and killed everyone in the building. The poor dude had no control over it and now the government is chasing him. He fights crime when he can, but he also shoots up anyone who attacks him without mercy--including police officers.

Well, one Champions RPG campaign that I ran included a character named Non Sequiter. Her power was to utter statements so sublimely ridiculous that the villains would stop what they were doing and stare at her (STUN Only attack, based on voice). If she could make me laugh, the bad guys would be incapacitated by laughter for 1d6 phases. Her typical attack would be to kick open the door to the villain's lair, burst into the room, and call out brightly, "I brought the potato salad!"

I was responsible for the creation of the Spaghetti, a character that predated the Flying Spaghetti Monster by a good fifteen years. The Spaghetti got around on a flying plate; his powers included Stretching, and an Entangle attack that was even more powerful if the target was wet. He was based on a batch of spaghetti I made for a gaming party; it, er, didn't come out that well. (Still better than the Jello That Wouldn't Die, though...)
