Just thought I'd post these in their own thread for reference purposes. Mr. Moderator, sir, you can make this a "sticky" if you'd like.

good idea, btw i'm going to go ahead and make Steve a moderator.

Am I the only person who reads Ian's signature as if it were part of his messages? Ian would make a great pharaoh.

we should consider modifying these superhero categories. specifically i think "energy projection" is too broad and should be subdivided. for example maybe telepathy should be a separate category. if everybody agrees on a particular change, then let's just edit the original post in this thread.

Yeah, good call. We were just going by what's in the Marvel Encyclopedia, but I don't think there's any reason why we can't form our own categories. If there's a specific power that falls under a category not listed, post your ideas together with the 7-point scale for that new category.

Man, with all the new ideas floating around, I wouldn't be surprised if this simple little discussion leads to bigger and better things! I'd be happy to act as a reference for anyone who'll be submitting a resume to DC or Marvel in the near future.

Well, I just wanted to send a shout out and express my gratitude at being invited to join the team here at huntingtonfamily.org.

I shall be forthcoming with my thoughts as time frees itself within the next few days. And as my brain cells once more activate.

But I did want to agree that Ian would make a good Pharoah. It has been written, now if you will all join with me in saying it . . .

Good. Now I feel like a part of something big.

Well come, Mindy--well come.

Did you bring the soda?

I think I would be. . .
