Legion of Nothing: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

** There is a team of superhero assassins called The Executioner, which managed to murder several superheroes and their families. Evil? For sure. Badass? Most definitely.

** Subverted with Three, a trio of teenaged supers in California. The group themselves are pretty badass in a fight, but their nominal leader, Alex aka Paladin, is a retard who seems to excel at getting them in trouble. In particular, one ill-advised prank almost gets them and several other people killed. Brooke (Alex's girlfriend) and Nick stepping up is what keeps them from being obituaries.

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Nick is a stereotypical nerd in classic [[Spider Man|Peter Parker]]-style. However his smarts are the basis of some his best ass-kicking.

* [[Badass Grandpa]]: The original Rocket was active from at least the forties and didn't retire until the eighties. If he was in his twenties when he started, he was in his sixties when he quit.

* [[Badass Normal]]: Nick is capable of beating up the big guys even when he's ''not'' wearing the Rocket Suit. [[I Know Karate|He Knows Kung Fu]], after all.

Line 25:

* [[Beware the Superman]]: A common theme, as although vigilatism isn't legal, it's generally accepted by mainstream humanity providing that supers police their own kind.

* [[Brought to You By The Letter "S"]]: The Rocket, and Big C, amongst others.

* [[Brought to You by The Letter "S"]]: The Rocket, and Big C, amongst others.

* [[Brown Note]]: The Rocket's sonic weapons are capable of producing this, and have one at least one memorable occasion.

* [[Building Swing]]: Although the Rocket can fly, he says he has two grappling hooks "in case I ever need to do the [[Spider Man]] thing". This comment is a strong contender for Nick's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

* [[Cape Busters]]: In ''Three'', The Rocket goes up against Syndicate L, a non-superpowered organisation with capebusting potential, and a [[Humongous Mecha]] (which being the Rocket, he can't resist trying to get his hands on).

* [[The Captain]]: Subverted. The Legion has no set [[Command Roster]] yet. They're trying out a rotating command schedule for now.

Line 39:

* [[Color Character]]: Red Lightning, Blue Streak.

* [[The Commissioner Gordon]]: Isaac Lim, although whether he is a genuine good guy is yet to be seen...

* [[Crimefighting with Cash]]: Nick was bequeathed 11 million dollars 'earmarked for "fighting evil"'

* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: The serial is about 3 years old now, so there's plenty of these

** In "Three", Nick takes on a Mecha in a scene a thousand times more awesome than the Stane/Stark fight in ''[[Iron Man (~~Film~~)|Iron Man]]''.

** In "Three", Nick takes on a Mecha in a scene a thousand times more awesome than the Stane/Stark fight in ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]]''.

** In a recent episode, Nick uses the weaponized speakers on his armor to generate a "brown note" to disable an enemy. Yes, The Rocket is so badass he can ''literally'' make you crap your pants.

* [[Dating Catwoman]]: The original Rocket married Ghostwoman, a Nazi super he met while fighting for the Allies in WWII.

Line 73:

** Don't forget {{spoiler|Rachel, Nick's older sister, as Ghost.}}

* [[Magic Versus Science]]: A literal case occurs when the Storm King (whose powers seem to stem from electromagnetic manipulation of the weather) and the King of Storms (an ancient avatar and weather magician) fight it out in ''King of Storms''.

* [[Mecha Mooks]]: Syndicate L fields these in an attempt to keep up with the various super-powered factions.

* [[Mecha-Mooks]]: Syndicate L fields these in an attempt to keep up with the various super-powered factions.

* [[The Medic]]: Alex/Paladin is this on [[Super Team|Three]].

Line 139:

* [[Me's a Crowd]]: Fire Legion from Three.

* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: Night Wolf and Night Cat are basically [[Petting Zoo People|human-looking werewolves]], with [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|all]] [[Super Strength|the]] [[Mysterious Animal Senses|regular]] [[Jump Physics|powers]] except the infectious bite, or any of the weaknesses. With the ability to [[Instant Sedation|knock out]] or [[Poisoned Weapons|poison]] people, too, and a [[Cool Car]].
