Powers: Toxic touch, uncontrollable generation of poisonous ooze
Backstory: Before she became a hero, she was an avid superhero fan. In an attempt to get closer to her favorite hero, she rolled around in toxic waste, in the hopes of developing super powers. And she succeeded... sort of. Her very presence is now toxic to both her friends and foes, but she goes about her hero work with rabid enthusiasm and without a care for the danger she causes to everyone around her, hoping that her Sentai Sempai will notice her.
Sure, they said that Telekinetic control of cheese wouldn't be useful, but Cheesemaster will show them all just how powerful of a hero he can be, using the power of cheese!
Well, the one that would definitely not be invited to join a super team would be...Florida Man. In fact, in public they would pretend they had never met him before, even if they had a previous team-up with him.
Steve was but a humble office worker in Tampa Bay , when he one day decided to consume an assortment of illicit substances he found discarded in shoebox by the side of the road earlier that evening.
Possessing a total disregard for social standards , and seemingly immune to overdosing , Steve has since then dedicated himself as a perpetually drug-fuelled vigilante crime fighter known by the public as the "Florida Man".
Glowy Hair Girl
well i will definitely lose this one but:
who?
Glowy hair girl has hair so glowy that no one can withstand it's glowyness.
mission?
None really
weaknesses?
haircuts
origin?
long ago in the land of hairtopia there lived a glowstick. This was no ordinary glowstick but a MAGIC glowstick. And then, in the same way centaurs are made, Glowy Hair Girl was made and is genetically half glowstick. When she was growing up, no one could really look at her for long, so she never had to deal with body image issues since, for the most part, anyone who looked at her instantly instinctively closed their eyes. When still a child she would look at others and see how people thought they were pretty but no one could ever look at her. So she, at a very young age, evolved beyond a concept of body image and realized she could be beautiful instead through her actions and the things she wrote and said. So, though her hair is glowy and no one can look at her, she found peace, claims it as a freeing power, and is often found typing things in forums much like this one to this very day. SHE COULD EVEN BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU. OOOOOOOOOH. Glowy Hair Girl is considered a superhero not for physical deeds, but because she is a hero to all those with body image issues and people that constantly look around at people 'more beautiful than them'. Glowy Hair Girl is a reminder that there is something more to who someone is and that the power is inside each and every one of us. The End.
Sphyrna Ryan Murphy is an Australian tinkerer and researcher. She was born near the northern coastlines of Australia in Queensland, to a handyman father and shark biologist mother, hence her name 'Sphyrna' which is the scientific name of a 'Hammerhead Shark'.
She grew up working and tinkering on her dad's workshop, specifically electronic repairs, woodworking, and other home-related repairs. She also comes with him in his work once in a while. She also found affinity with the sharks her mother studies, being able to swim with them at a young age, although she rarely comes with her in the trips on the northern Australian seas to observe the sharks.
She decided to become a tinkerer in order to fashion devices that will help her mother in her research such as a sonic sensor to detect any sharks in the vicinity. Upon doing so, she also found her affinity in solving problems with physical solutions. She then decided to pursue a career in Engineering with Specialization in Coastal and Ocean Science in University of Queensland.
While fashioning research devices, studying in university, helping her parents in their work, she also provides the local heroes their crime fighting devices, in which she does so in her hero alias 'Hammerhead'.
She rarely fights the crime herself since she is in a supportive role. However, if necessary, she uses a boomerang that looks like a shark's caudal fin. She also can 'talk' to the sharks through the sonic signals. She has severe Arachnophobia in which even if the word 'spider' is spoken, she would irk and retch.
Notes:
Story is fleshed out with the help of Question This.
Looks like @[email protected] and @[email protected] as the last two have an additional point for 4 points each and @[email protected] is the previous winner's fav for also 4 points. In literally the entire time we've had these tournaments this is the first time EVER we've had a threeway tie. Maybe each says a topic and also has a favvote for the next tourny? so three topics to choose from? You all agree that's how we should do it? Also I am putting a big button right in the middle of my fastestgrowing generator titled 'Weekly Image Challenge' that will link straight to the post for Tournament 3. Maybe other ways to see if we can get some more contenders too.
