Champions. The superhero RPG being turned into a MMORPG. Sweet.

Many evenings and weekends were devoted to me GM'ing that game in the
early eighties.
Its where Spectrum got his start. Before CoH, before the very long
run on Superguy,
(http://www.eyrie.org/superguy/)
There was Champions, the Isle of Dr. Destroyer, and the roots of my
Mountain Dew addiction.
The early picture of Spectrum on Superguy was a scan from a scribble I
did on a character sheet.
Just the other day, my sons were helping me sort through a basement
bookshelf and they chanced on a Champions GM module. The Mutant
Files, I think...
This could mean the start of something extremely cool. I wonder if my
first hero, Super Stretch, will be playable.
(A ranged melee brick, say if Reed Richards had fooled around with She-
Hulk while Sue was out of town and they'd had a son.)
Will we finally have clinging? Your own arch villian kidnapping your
girlfriend Polly Purebred. Secret IDs....hmm.
