So I was thinking about trying to make a Super-Hero team that was both original, but also interesting. Now this is a rough draft of my ideas for the members and what their powers are. I would love some input!
The first member of the team, and team leader/founder, is Ana Grayson.
Ana's power is that she can always tell when people are telling the truth and when they are lying. Now this power may not seem very impressive, but it has aided Ana gain a solid career in helping innocent people in prison gain exoneration. Of course with any power there is a downside and that is, besides the obvious unpleasantness that comes from too much honesty, she herself lacks the ability to lie. She is a very decent person and is the foundation for the team.
The second member of the team, and team Tank, is Vincent Walker
Vince's power is that he is a human voodoo doll that can sustain any injury. Essentially he could be shot, stabbed, blown up, etc and his body would mend almost immediately; yet his attacker would sustain the injury. This fact makes Vince virtually immortal and causes anyone who fights him to essentially be on a suicide mission. However, there is a draw back. Aside from being a rather inconvenient magnet for bad luck; Vince also feels the pain of every injury. Now as a man he is a rather cynical sort and he is very much prone to drinking. He lives off of his sporadically wealthy roommate and tends to go out of his way to do the right thing; all while complaining about doing it. He is the member of the team that is the first to jump on the grenade (and milk that for all it's worth after for free stuff).
The last member of the team, and the Team Wild Card, is Mike Anderson
Mike's powers essentially stem from his ability to walk the path of luck. He is able to discern what to do when in order to achieve success in his ventures. However, in all things there is a balance and the higher Mike goes on the path of good luck the harsher the fall when his debt is paid to the universe. Fortunately, as luck would have it (pun intended), he has become antiquated with a man who is not only a magnet for bad luck, but is physically able to withstand all the the abuse it can offer. So for the small price of funding Vince's minimalist life; Mike is able to enjoy the utmost benefits. As a man he is rather focused on himself. He is a man who lives in the moment and hopes to squeeze every last drop of joy out he can. Morally he doesn't care so much about doing what's right/wrong but on what brings him enjoyment. He will not willfully inflict pain on others however if he can convince someone to bare pain for his pleasure; he will indulge that to the max.
So that is my rough draft for my team. At the early days they will meet when Ana is trying to exonerate someone falsely imprisoned for murder charges. The series will, at least initially, focus on the trio taking cases wherein they try to discover who the guilty party is while freeing the wrongly convicted.
Thoughts?
