The Necrocracy |
| | Metro City Chronicles / int_626b202b |
comment |
The Necrocracy: Draculopolis, a nation of vampires, located in the territory formerly known as Transylvania. A spell cast over the city makes it night all the time, and faucets dispense mystically-replenishing blood. Dracula is the democratically elected president. It's not a particularly evil place — Dracula is focused on making vampires into productive world citizens, though there are still plenty of evil vamps out there. |

Face–Monster Turn: This briefly happens to both Polyphemus and Phantasmo. In Polyphemus' case, it's how he got his powers — a mad scientist rewrote his genetic code and subjected him to mind control. Phantasmo goes through it after he's bitten by a vampire. |

Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: "[Shadow Shinobi], a ninja with shadow powers. Yes, that's exactly as irritating and frustrating as it sounds." There's also the global terror organization S.K.U.L.L., which has a bunch of robot ninjas in their arsenal. |

Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object |

comment |
Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object: Miss Mega vs. Splatter. They're two of the strongest people in the world. When they start fighting, everyone backs off, keeps the civilians out of the way, suffers through the inevitable property damage, and waits for them to wear each other out. |

Magic Pants: Costumes made from Futorium atoms are immune to damage from their wearers' powers, so they can stretch with stretchy heroes, won't burn up when worn by fire-wielding heroes, transform along with shapeshifters, etc. And civilian clothing can also be treated with a Futorium solution, making it possible to fold up a change of clothing and hide them in your utility belt rather than leaving them wadded up in an alley. |
