Supers

So, apparently there's a big rivalry about the supers in various parts of the country... I think this might have something to do with Superman's return (see http://www.irisclearwater.blogspot.com/2013/06/you-guys.html).  In any case, I thought that I may as well join the crowd and describe the supers in my little corner of existence.
We're cool enough that we don't just have one super hero in our city.  We have an entire team (though that also means we have more villains).  This team is led by Snow White, a powerful super with the ability to summon blizzards at any given moment.  Her partner-in-not-crime is Prince Charming, who specializes in magnetics.  I have no idea who gave him a name like that (actually, it was probably Maribel Watson), but it is rather fitting.  Very chivalrous.
The others in the team include:
Cinderella: Some sort of accessories witch.  Somehow she makes all her accessories deadly weapons.
The Mermaid: Controls water.
Gretal: Temporarily paralyzes other supers' powers, which helped her and her partner, Hansel, get out of a bit of mess with one of the super-villains a while back (I would love to talk her into getting rid of mine for a little while).
Hansel: Not much is known about Gretal's partner, Hansel.  He works in the shadows.  No one is really sure what he does.  And the same can be said for
Beanstalk:  Again, I think Maribel Watson was behind this.  Beanstalk has never really been seen, except for a brief photo Ms. Watson was able to snap after one of their battles with the Decartes ring.  It didn't really show much, except that he was very tall and skinny.  The name kinda stuck.
The Beast:  He needs no mask, because his power is the ability to give himself the features of animals.  He can be a rather ruthless fighter.
The press calls them "Snow White and the Seven Supers," and unfortunately, their services are needed pretty often.  This is because Faire City is plagued with an unusual amount of super villains as well, villains like The Witch and The Queen.  These are people you really don't want to run across.  Especially when you spout enough gems to fund their evil plans for millenia.

Not all that glitters is gold.

  1. ...You have supers named after the Grimm Fairytale stories? That's oddly cool, but still really weird at the same time. Are you supposed to be Red Riding Hood then? Is your villain the Big Bad Wolf?

  2. Wasn't Superman's Return UNBELIEVABLE!? I'm STILL geeking out about it! And Sonic hasn't been seen since Superman's return. Rumor has it, he's helping his idol take out some crime!
