In The Loup
Okay, time to poll the studio audience.
I'm coming up with villains for a superhero RPG, and I need conceptual ideas. I don't need specific powers or origins so much as I need clever names, themes, and gimmicks. Think Classic Batman Villains -- theme villains who could easily play as either High Camp or Disturbingly Obsessed. A villain that sounds silly may not play silly -- remember the archetypal theme villain.
On the flip side of the same coin, I've got a specific team of adversaries that I want to round out. In the spirit of the terrible puns that Mike W. Barr used to come up with for the supervillains in Batman and the Outsiders... I have a band of super-powered werewolves.
Three is a pretty scrawny supervillain group,though. I need at least two more to round this pack out -- though three more would let me dub them the "Six-Pack".
I know you guys. Surely someone out there can come up with more awful wolf puns. The French "Loup" isn't required; if you can come up with similar wretchedness in other languages, gopher baroque.

- There's Feedback Loup, and his devastating sonic howl.
- Jeweler's Loup, who can create and shape diamond-hard crystal from thin air.
- and Loup de Loup, an agile, high-speed flying... werewolf.

For general, I'd happily volunteer some of the villains I used in my old Champions campagin, which was like it or not very Silver Age, for all that I was reading '80's comics: The Atomic Playboy (suave and supremely radioactive), The Menagerie (my take on Dragon Man, an android of amazing animal parts and powers), Gulag-13 (if you need any Soviet state supervillains)... I have more. If I can find my old notes. :)
