Not all superheroes are born with special powers to allow them to save the world. Superman and Wonderwoman don't know how lucky they are. What would Superman have been with a little less Kryptonite? Moderately Impressive Man? Faster than a speeding tricycle?
No, some superheroes don't make the news because they are blessed with special powers which are almost useless. Worse still, others acquire powers which are a downright nuisance.
Tonight is one of those few occasions when such individuals can truly be themselves. They have gathered together to share their secrets over a meal, conjoined by the special bond of just being different.
But now even that has been brought to an unfortunate end by the untimely death of Bill Cody, a building contractor who has been found dead in the hotel where their gathering is taking place. Perhaps our heroes can show their mettle by solving the riddle of his death ”
The suspects:
Egbert “Eggman” Hensbottom - The extrovert hero.
Egbert dresses in a cape and mask, and is never afraid to boil an egg at 50 paces”
Melanie “Flowerpower” Donovan - The 70's throwback. Melanie's successful flower shop has an unusual commercial advantage, quite apart from her tie-dye t-shirt.
David “Bread” Yates - The Guitar Man.
David carries his instrument with him at all times and makes a living by singing in clubs and bars. His power to move bread rolls by mind alone is rarely welcomed in these venues.
Rome Hillton - The hotel manager.
Ever keen to present a professional image, Rome is always immaculately presented in her business suit.
Nathan “Hoverman” Jones - The Physics Teacher.
Permanently dressed in an old jacket and corduroys, Nathan's power to levitate 10mm from the floor is of far more academic interest than practical use.
Steph “Turpswoman” Little - The diner entrepreneur.
Steph still dresses in her cook's attire despite her successful chain of diner outlets. Her ability to stop paint from drying is merely incidental to that work.
May Belline - The cosmetics counter girl.
May's ability to turn people temporarily orange leads her to believe that the department store is her vocational habitat.
Dennis “Bluebeard” Holmes - The children's entertainer.
Dennis dresses as a pirate, and makes good use of his ability to control his facial hair at will.
