Best thing I've found at Wikipedia for a long time comes from the entry on Tyroc.

Scream effects

Among the screams in Tyroc's arsenal:

• EEYYAAAHH! - pyrokinesis
• AHHRRRRRR! - force field
• OYYUUUUUU! - teleportation
• ARRRRHHHH! - explosions
• ZZZRRRUUGGHH! - telekinesis
• UIUUIEEEE! - transmutation
• ARRREEEEG! - weather manipulation
• IRRRRWWWW! - chlorokinesis
• CCCIIIRRR! - vertigo
• RRRYYYY! - wind manipulation

Jon's new sidebar item over at Facedown in the Gutters.



Heh. Heh heh. Speaking of Jon, he was part of the Big Monkey podcast last weekend; it was great to have him there, except we kept breaking up every time he said, "I write Facedown in the Gutters". Well, that would explain a great many things, Jon...

The new "Duo Character" figures that will coming out in the summer Heroclix sets.

"Duo Characters
A character with the attack symbol
is a duo character. Duo characters may
not be carried and have the Duo Attack
special ability.
DUO ATTACK (optional):
Give the character a power
action to make a duo attack. It makes two separate
attacks against opposing characters as free actions
(making two separate attack rolls). These attacks
may be close combat attacks, or ranged combat
attacks with a single target. Resolve the first attack
before making the second; the character’s damage
value is modified by –1 for the second attack, to a
minimum damage value of 1. If the character is KOd
as a result of the first attack in a duo attack, the
second attack is not made."

We don't know yet who might be on such dials, but it's interesting to speculate! I hope it's used to make generics (say, GOONS) with a little more utility.
