Captain Never-Itchy

The prompt

Jessica Booker was normal teenager. She spent her life going to high school, learning math and science like a nerd, and getting picked on by her bullies, the notorious Pink Squad. Those three girls, Dolly, Molly, and the ringleader Holly, were the most popular girls in school. Jessica was jealous of them, but since her name didn’t rhyme, she could never join the clique and was therefore hideous and unlovable.

One day, the notorious villain Poison Oak attacked Jessica’s school. (This was the female Poison Oak that debuted in Yellow Fox issue #17, not the male Poison Oak that has been a popular, well-known nemesis to Phantom Macaw for going on six decades. That Poison Oak is currently dead, this Poison Oak is his neighbor’s dog-walker’s sister-in-law’s niece, and the two met only once in a flashback during the End All Be All crossover event, issue #4, which let him transfer a portion of his powers to her. Seriously, why aren’t you caught up on all of this?) Everyone at Jessica’s school was covered in itchy rashes, including the Pink Squad. Everyone, that is, except for Jessica, who had taken cover inside the science classroom. While there, an experimental chemical spilled on her, making her immune to itchiness! Now, as Captain Never-Itchy, she fights crime and her nemesis Poison Oak to protect the people of Briny Breezes, Florida from her itchy ways!

The Unusual Superhero- 2 points

The Pooper Scooper

This super hero has the power to control everyone’s poop so he can make any villain poop on command. He helps fight crime for instance if there was a hostage situation, the Pooper Scooper will run in and make the villains defecate in their pants. This of course altering their ability to keep keeping hostages so that is when swat takes over.

The Pooper Scooper was given these powers because he was born in Toiletville, Nebraska. A town that is underground and only people with Pooper Scoopers powers can live. Pooper Scooper was brought up to the earth when a sewer system blew up on top of his house. It killed his entire family but he was stuck on the face of the earth and now he fights crime.

mustache-man & beard-boy

My unusual superhero would be mustache-man. He would bring mustaches to all the facial- hairless men who needed him! His power aside from giving mustaches would also be to take them away. It doesn’t sound like much, but if you had a real scary villain and you take away his mustache he might be a lot less intimidating and a little bit more self-conscious. Either way, he’s too busy worrying about his facial hair to do anything villainous.

His outfit  would be a white spandex shirt and a white pants with a white cape, and on the front of his white shirt would be a large black handlebar mustache. He would obviously have one of these mustaches on his face himself.

Something every good superhero needs is a side-kick. Mustache-man’s sidekick would be beard-boy. He would be a young boy with an outstandingly large beard that does not seem to fit his appearance. He would have similar powers in the giving and removing of facial hair, except his would be of the beard variety. You may wonder why the boy has power over the beards while man only has the power over mustaches. Well, you see you can’t have a beard without a mustache, but you can have a mustache without a beard. The man can stand alone, the side kick is a bonus.

Beard-Boy’s outfit would be a medium blue suit similar to mustache man’s with beardly accents.

 

Origin:

Not much is known about the beginnings of mustache man and beard boy. Some say that mustache man’s powers began when he was in adolescence when some of the older boys with slight facial hair made fun of him for his baby like face. After a few years nothing had grown and he had become very frustrated. He went away to cave and hid. A few years later he emerged with a full beard and beautiful mustache, and long, flowing head of hair. Back into the city he realized nothing was going to be the same for in every window he passed by where there was a boy staring in the mirror wanting to shave and not being able to, he stared deep into their eyes, something connected, and immediately out of their hair follicles formed a beautiful new mustache.

As for beard-boy, some think he maybe his son, others think he may have wound up in the same cave as mustache-man, but no one really knows whether any of this is true. All we know is the increasing amount of facial hair appearing in our city.

PerfectIron

PerfectChange

My super hero would always have exact change for everything he ever needed to buy down to the penny. I would simply just take it out of his pocket. His name is PerfectIron. He gave himself this name after taking the iron supplement so it is not really about nickels like everyone presumes. He acquired this super power through extra-ordinary means. One day in his small county of King George he was hit up for his lunch money as per usual. He handed it over to the big bully billy like all of the other days. His stomach rumbled. The odd lunch lady that nobody talked to came over to him and said hey eat this. It was a yogurt. PerfectIron hated yogurt but this one tasted familiar, it tasted like money. From then on PerfectIron had exact change everywhere he went for everything he ever purchased, including a huge engagement ring for the lovely mother of his son and captor of his heart.
