The first time Axel's parents suspected he might have 'unusual' abilities was the day he was sent home early from kindergarten for making something 'inappropriate' and 'offensive' out of the building blocks. They were quite relieved when they picked him up to find that when the nursery said 'inappropriate' they really meant 'sentient' and 'offensive' really meant 'aggressive'...

[SGTdude]

"Well that was quite an adventure Eek. You are very brave. OOOO! Look a Dog and Pony Show! Can we go!?!??"

"What do you mean 'did I turn off the oven'? You know I can't play with fire. The oven is your job."

"Well if you forgot you will just have to deal with the consequences later. We have dogs and ponies to see."

"But Eeeeeeek....."

"EGADS! You are right," Major Owsum says as he rolls up his sleeve at the thus-far-invisible seam. "The time did get away from us. We can't miss Captain Planet!"

Owsum raises his hand in cheer as he runs off "Captaaaaaaaaaaain Plaaaaaaaaneeeet!"

"Yes you can turn off the oven when we get home!"

Today we went into the sewers. Its stinky down there. I mean worse than old lady in dirty old people diapers stinky. It was a stench of EVIL! But we didnt find any evil. There was a nice rat who decided to turn into a boat for us! And there was some marmalade but it 'sploded everywhere. Being a Hero is so much fun!

Well I will get you some marmalade when we get home then.

Current Form: Incorporeal

IT finds that the odd fellow who also found his way to the sewers is quite odd, whatever that means. Having just witnessed an explosion, IT begins to wonder. Seeing as how he is made out of energy, perhaps energy sources can be tracked. IT looks around the device for clues and if he can find an energy marker begins to search for any similar sources of energy.

► Show Spoiler

moments after the large metal flying thing had nearly hit him or rather, passes through him, IT descended to the planets surface and was surprised to find pink things swarming everywhere. Why, only...some time ago, this place was simply a green and blue oasis under a sky of clouds...what had happened? IT began a quest to discover what had happened to this lonely planet. It seemed that it had been invaded and was slowly being destroyed by these soft pink things. Perhaps there was still a way to safe the earth.

edit: i will add my current form at the top for your reference LAYF...i mean, not that I'm upset if i die since i'll just kill everyone around me and then come back....but...yeah..

Dr. Apocalypse is on the phone with his parole officer, "Yes...fine...I understand...but it is my day off...I'll remember that when your wife calls on Sunday about where you are..." He shuts it off.

Dr. Apocalypse looks at his wife, "I am going to have to drop you off here dear, I'm afraid that Mr. Ratman has neither graduated college, or paid Villains University for a standard evil doer diploma so he's my problem at the moment..."

He makes sure she gets a cab before returning to the grav car.

Dr. Apocalypse shocks some kids trying to steal his hubcaps, saying "I am legally obligated to tell you stay in school and off drugs, but next time the setting will be on atomize not stun." He then restarts the car and drives out towards the islands where the rowboat was last being seen. As he does so he uses his freeze beam randomly just to cause problems for those individuals day sailing today...

So why did you become a Villain and not a Hero...
Well first, I don't really like most people. They are annoying, whiny, self centered, twits who just want, want, want. That and there really wasn't any job opportunities for me after Pets.Com folded. I mean everyone blamed me for its failure. I mean how? I was the damn Assistant CFO, I was there to make sure that we did our taxes and paid our vendors...and stick my hand in the puppet. Really I was there to stick my hand in the puppet. But still it wasn't the puppets fault either. Of course Google turned me down, but then they just said 'too Evil'. I mean that's discriminatory isn't it. No? Well so I had to start my own business after that...which sort of led to various attempts to either rob, blow up, or rule the state and the city.

[Oooh! Quarg? Can I know you and think you are an enemy at first? You can even be a former nemesis if you want. Let me know, but if you agree I will think you disappeared unless you want to come up with something more comical.

Dear I.I. Ivanson I am a loyal fan of your publication and would like to say i like how you are beginning to include those extra articles about heroes. I've been following the paper for a long time and I do believe it is a step in the right direction. The section on Dog with jobs whilst interesting was a poor precursor. Any loyal fan will be happy with the changes...

IT
found another bomb

Quickly after making sure that everything was well above ground, Local hero IT went six feet under and below to see what he could make of the bombs remains.
this lead him on the trail to find yet another of the bombs, following said thrail he made it to a small drain that he followed back up, and the place he came to was:

The bathroom in the orphanage home for mentally challenged kids! there, among kids bathing in the sink and playing with their own feces because they were unattended, was another of the bombs!
and only 30 hours left, how will he make it in time?

Show goes bankrupt!
No bark, no Hay, no way!

There will be no more happy barks and no more hay for this city's Dog and Pony show, a record low ticket sale makes owner Mr. Hipiti Hop quit his job and sell the animals.

IT is in a dilemma, he could disarm the bomb natural using the knowledge Axel uncovered a few hours ago, but that would mean he risks getting hurt by it blowing.
On the other hand he could try using some of his powers on it.

Janitor finds secret plans!

After a job call local Janitor took the buss to the city's waterworks, here he came across notes that by all appearance seems to be plans of the Evil Dr. Ratman.

The notes, while not complete does state one thing, Dr. Ratman is not joking! He is trying to lure millions of rats to infect the city's water by invading the waterworks.
exactly how he will do it is unknown.

City mayor is so happy for the find that he has choose to reward Dave The Janitor with a free buss and train card for the rest of his life!

Dave gained [Buss and train card: a life time of rides within the city for free]

Villain finds Villain but where?

After talking to his lawyer/wife Dr. Apocalypse called his parole officer to inform him that he would have to leave city limits in pursue of Dr. Ratman!
Little did he know that that was just what the evil doer wanted, while flying over the islands off the coast Dr. Apocalypse heard noises coming from the hood of his car!
suddenly the gravitational units that kept it flying started to set out! to avoid a crash the temporarily good evil Dr. had to make an emergency landing!
When safely on the ground he started to investigate what had vent wrong, five rats jumped out of his car, they had been eating at the wiring! then from behind him a low squeaking voice was heard!

'Ah HA, so the heroes have come to.... what? You are no hero? Is that you Dr. Apocalypse? What are you doing here? and why do you have a "Registered Hero" mark on your car? are you plotting to infiltrate the good guys again? you know that never works!'

All this is happening somewhere we don't know, how will Apocalypse react? What can we do to help? Where should we send the help?

Ghost Knows where!

After hearing that Dr. Ratman had been spotted in a rowboat, Local hero ghost wasted no time finding some maps over the waters off our beautiful coast, looking into them, doing complicated calculations with his calculator and nearly bending the laws of the universe he put two and two together, this is what he said to the reporter:
'I Think I've found him'

Brilliant work Hero!

No kitchen fires today!

'Eek, what is that smell? is that gas?...

...Oh, pancakes, yummy!'

I. I. Ivanson says:
The Truth You Need To Hear!

The cape-clad crusaders of this town has no respect for the common man,
I. I. Ivanson has been running his soles thin to bring you the words as true as they are. Listen to what the Quote Heroes Unquote themselves has to say:

The hero "Aksel" said to Ivanson:
"Well, the fact is, normal humans are just inappropriate and offensive, heck, I've seen aggressive bricks more sentient than you people"

The hero "Uncool" said:
"The stench of humans are Evil, the only thing they can be used for is to give me sponge baths!"

"THAT" said some of the only near good words:
"I hope I can save earth..."

But those words soon turned around:
"... By eliminating all humans!"

One who does not surprise us by his words are in fact a Villain, we will call him "Prof. End of days"
"Well, I just don't like people, that is why heroes are a good thing to me, they do more damage than I ever could!"

An anonymous civilian in the cleaning industry had this to say:
"I. I. Ivanson! I love you, you are a shining beacon of hope in this dark world!"

What do you all say to THAT! people! I say its a time we end this meanness.

% roll between:
1 accomplishes the will of the hero with 200% effectiveness
2-10 accomplishes the will of the hero without failure/error
11-30 accomplishes the will of the hero, but only with 10% effectiveness

81-90 direct damage power, reflects 10% damage to the hero
90-98 direct damage power, reflects 50% damage to a 10' radius around hero (hero is unaffected)
99-100 never seen before (this would be the same as 31-70, only lethal and cover 100 square yards).

-Invulnerable: the power legitimately belongs to the hero but he so deeply believes that it is Eek that he some how wills his Nigh-invulnerability (not truly invulnerable) to extend to Eek instead of himself. So he uses Eek as a shield, although it is a small one (as big as a soccer ball).

Weakness:
-has no control over the effect he produces with power.

Genderless hero (incorporeal, non human being)

Missions completed: 0

Powers:
1. Phase Shift - Can shift all or some of itself between a corporeal and incorporeal form at any time. *(Can be "killed" or "dispersed" but will revive/reform itself in 24 hours)
2. *Immortal - Does not need air, food, water while in incorporeal form. Please see more information below under weaknesses.
3. Time Shell - Can create a bubble of time surrounding itself that changes the way time works. Either by speeding it up or slowing it down. (bubble = 15 ft radius)
4. Phase Jump - Can shift time/space to move to another location as long as that location is "Known". (Can choose to bring "things"(things includes people or objects) with itself as long as "things" are within a bubble of 15 ft radius around self))

Weaknesses:
1. Cannot communicate through verbal language. (He tends to speak in charades or by writing things down)
2. When "Killed" while in corporeal form a burst of time is created (15 ft radius) around itself that lasts 5 minutes. (50% chance to speed up time within burst (1 min. RT = 1 Sc)) or (50% chance to slow down time (1 Min. RT = 60 hrs)) (the time range is anything from 5 secs to 300 hrs). When "killed" while corporeal, IT's body becomes incorporeal (his natural state), because this shift isn't controlled, it creates the burst of time. Thus, even though It may be killed in any manner, be it shot to the head, decapitation, suffocation, bleeding out, etc, All of IT's "parts" become incorporeal. If IT's hand were to be successfully removed without killing IT's body, it would remain a hand until IT's "death". At the time of death, the hand would create its own burst of Time though at a lesser radius.

After a yummy diffner of pancakes, Major Owsum's heroic fuel tank has been refilled and they are ready to pursue evil.

Finding an unmarked envelope slid underneath his door, he opens it to find money. "Look Eek! They are finally paying us for being heroes! We should...."

"Yes I suppose this means you can get a raise in your allowance."

"No you can not have a $50 raise. We have to use some of this money to fight evil. I was thinking."

"Yes but sometimes I can think too. Just hear me out: Dr Ratman likes rats. Stores sell rat traps. Ergo ipso facto... We swoop in like Lemmings on these rats and catch them in traps! Lets go!"

"No not lemons, Lemmings. You know the bird of the night that goes 'whooo....whooooo'!"

"An Owl? Are you sure?"

"Well then, what kind of bird is a lemming?"

"Solitary rodents that live in cold harsh climates? Really? Huh...that kind of sounds like us on our quest to fight Evil. Wait does that mean Dr Ratman can control us too?"

"Well lets get our special Tin-foil hats just to be sure."

"Hmm... All the leads we've had so far have led us into traps... Traps... TRAPS! That'll work! To catch a rat you need a really, really big trap..."

Axel heads to the nearest hardware shop to buy up their supplies of rat traps. He'll bait them with his poisoned marmalade and then head to the waterworks. At the first sign of trouble, he'll use his telekenesis on any rats that he encounters.

Having been distracted by all these people fussing over him from merely pulling a load of wet papers out of the toilet., some idiot trying to flush them away no doubt, The janitor head up up to the second job in the building in the old ceo's office where his was told the floors had hadn't been cleaned in years...after the previous ceo's murder they had just said the room was a no go area, but a new boss was in and wanted the biggest room so it had to be cleaned....now this would be a challenge worth fighting!
