She has the power to summon and control caffeinated beverages and make her allies extremely hyper.

 

Would probably be a fun team up with my Dual Pistol/Kin Doubleshot Espresso.

Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx?

Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread.  Got a punny character? You should share it.

I have a DP/Storm corruptor called Triggerstorm.  Her love of violence is triggering.

So, I don't know how clever it is, but it amused me. 

How many times do we see in lfg chat something like "Thanks, Yin is now full!" Or, "Numina is full!" 

So, inspired by Monty Python, I have made a character, just today, called "Wafer Thin Mint". 

Unless the recruiter is named Mr. Creosote, I fully intend to ask "I'm sure you're not serious. Everyone has room for a Wafer Thin Mint".

These were all solid, but this one's next level.

Here's a couple of mine: 

 

Lead Hose - AR/Dev Blaster, wears grey tights, 'All the good superhero names were already taken!'

Red Rag - Fire/Fire Brute, mutant with bull horns, hooves, and anger management issues.

Cryo Magnon - Ice\Ice Tank, caveman frozen in ice plus cryogenics, what could possibly go wrong? 

Torchbearer: Flitz (MA/SR Scrapper), Lead Hose (AR/Dev Blaster), Red Rag (Fire/Fire Brute) ... and many more!

Народная Армия had some care for the public perception of its members, but Красный Угроза would likely welcome them with open arms...

A month or so ago I discovered the rubber duck costume piece and that set me off on a path of duck-pun characters on Excelsior. 

 

The origin story for all of the charcaters begins in a toy store in Steel Canyon which was caught in the crossfire of a CoT and Clockwork battle that took place during a Rikti Raid.  The store was destroyed by mystical and Rikti energy, but the combined forces granted the toy ducks sentience and super powers.  They used the scrap parts from the destroyed Clockwork to build themselves bodies.  Some decided to fight for good while others turned to evil and fled to the Rogue Isles.

 

I don't recall the power sets for each of them, but the list consists of:

 

  • The Mighty Duck (not really a pun, but a nice find.  He is the main/Superman-ish hero duck)
  • Mallard Killmore (name based on President Millard Filmore if it's not obvious.  He's the main villain duck)
  • Quacksilver (a speedster)
  • Duck of the Irish (would have preferred Lucky Duck, but alas, not available)
  • L'il Miss Firequacker (would have preferred just plain Firequacker, but again, it was taken)
  • The Quacken (whose battle cry is: "Welease the Quacken!")
  • Thunderduck (whose theme song is AC/DC's Thunderstruck)
  • Quackenstein (a Frankenstein's monster-esque tank)
  • Duck a l'Strange (Mallard of the Mystic Arts with a name based on the dish duck a l'orange and Doctor Strange)
  • Clubber Duckie (a war mace brute)
  • Bubble 'n Squeak (a squeaky toy with sonic powers)
  • Duck Duck Zeus (a weather-controller)

All good but I especially liked these two.

My Water Blast Sentinel is a little old lady with white hair and rubber boots, who had hoped, after she retired, to be left alone so she could work on her garden's irrigation system.

 

She's called "Auntie Diluvian."

 

Her battle cry is "Devant moi, le deluge!"

One of my favorite names and concepts.  I have "Dr. Goh Riela" for one of my guys.  You'd never suspect he's actually a gorilla...

I don't usually go in for pun/satire character names (although I'm a big fan of puns/dad jokes in general) but "Dangermoose" was simply too good to pass up.

What would you do to make a combat specialist more dangerous?

Sharpen the horns/antlers down to spikes.

Thanks!

 

Duck Duck Zeus, Mallard Killmore and The Quacken are probably my favorite names, but DDZ wins on overall theme.
