when ever super villains with a specific, usually useful powerset, actually goes to prison, instead of letting him do 100 yrs standing on thier heads, as soon as they spend like a month or two some secret govt. faction always recruit them for black ops missions, then do something stupid like put shut down impants in thier brains or thier hearts, or some kind or neural shorter outer collar inhibiter thing.....which never works in the long run
Is a guy with liquid metal mouth (with the ability to control it of course), a girl who can heal everyone but herself, a guy who eats meat and gets strong, a girl who can manipulate the surface so it will "carry" her wherever she wants, a guy who "static cling" to any surface from any part of his body, a guy who can transform into a black dragon, can project black fire from his hands, is an incredible marksman, martial arts and weapon expert? ... Are those cliched ideas??

Those do seem pretty grand and ambiguous. I'd like to think my my creations are bit more centered on whats going on in the world and use what little bit of extraordinary power they have to try and make a difference. Heroes HAVE to struggle and villians need to have more layers, especially behind their motivation unless of course they've just gone insane or really high or stoned! HA HA!

Okay, okay I admit the aliens have been overused in the past, but what else is there? I can't use radiation, can't use mutants, can't use "cosmic rays", can't use aliens, that's supposedly how the Marvel heroes were created in the first place huh? Accoring to the Earth X, Universe X stuff? Anyway, what I'm saying is, what ISN'T cliched? Is there anything original in comic books at all anymore?? Maybe I could say its like a ripple of time effect, where its like since this one particular guy was going to get his braces off at certain time and since it was met, then the power activated itself? Then because his power was activated then the others were too??
So what ISN'T cliched?

I'm sorry I can't be as popular and revered as you are in this most distinguished internet forum. Perhaps one day.... ::somberly whistlinq the tune:: "When you wish upon a star..."
I could attempt some degrading remark to wail upon your self esteem, but I don't think even the most cruel response could trump the shame you must feel for beinq born on an island full of inbred, yuck-mouth, spotted dick eating (adjective overload) yea you qet the point.
I think a cliched hero is one like Spawn, the kind of anti-hero, dark, mopey, devil-dealing.... Let's see there's Ghost Rider (probably most original, I know he came out before Spawn), Batman (not devil-dealing but similar)... okay well you get the idea... Those kind of heroes...

LOL... I was just reading an article about the GR movie in Empire the other and day and they were positively salivating aout how original he is... and I managed to make a list of 5 or 10 people who are very similar concepts...

I would have to say prep or "battle prep" like thats the end all of a battle or fight the guy with prep time wins I know its comics but come on what a joke its impossible to figure out every move have timing down perfect anything can happen stuff gos wrong and everything changes when you get hit in the mouth. Preps not a bad thing fighters go into the ring with a gameplan or if you fight you know what I'm talkin about 99% percent of the time that game plan changes rather fast or goes out the window in laymans terms shit happens...
