One thing I’ve noticed and done is modeling PCs after existing superheroes or using superheroic archetypes in non-supers games. The same happens with Pulp & Western heroes as well.
For example, I cannot count how many threads I have seen modeling Batman for D&D. (Usually as a Ranger, but not always.) And I knew a guy at a game store was designing a Captain America style warrior, except he used 2 shields instead of one.
Some I’ve done:
1) Lokhan: a halfling barbarian who did 2WF with clawed gauntlets.
2) The Gnome Ranger: a masked Ranger who rode a giant space hamster named Mithril, and wielded twin repeating hand crossbows with silver tipped bolts.
3) Rōg-Tuskarr: a pink, bipedal, elephant-like heavyworlder with a jet pack, blaster gun, and few other gadgets.
4) Pierre Chanson: a handsome, rugged, whip-wielding specialist diviner who has an encyclopedic knowledge of ancient cultures, languages and architecture.
5) Major Mosquito: a Brujah who was madder than a Malkavian. His broken mind thought his vampiric abilities meant he had become a superhero. Based on NEC’s The Tick.
6) Moo Knight: he’s an albino Minotaur warrior who is devoted to an avenging lunar god. (A work in progress.)
So, what have you seen? Or done yourself? Or are contemplating?
