May I take your Hat and Coat?




Super Coat check man exclaims - If all I can do is check hats and coats then why the hell am I a bee? Why? For the love of god . .

[Squinky]

Mr_Frisby, you're name should now be changed to Mr. AwesomeSpantastic. That sprite is great.

THE TURK WITH THE GOLDEN BUM, or THE TURK for short!




Vital statistics:

Name: Timothy 'Timmy' Johnson

Alter Ego: The Turk With the Golden Bum, The Turk, Oh My God He Looks Tasty, What the F... IS That Thing!?, Vittles (only to Hungryman)

Known Powers:  Was occasionally thrown at enemies buttock-first to knock them unconsicous- a favorite weapon of Batman.  It is believed if not for his gilded rear, The Turk might possibly be able to fly.  Also, he seems to have a kind of 'Hunger-sense' that makes his bottom tingle whenever someone in the immediate vicinity is ravenous.  This has aided him on a few occasions against the ever-starved Hungryman.  Smells absolutely DE-LICIOUS.

Known Weaknesses:  The gargantuan size and weight of his own posterior often inhibits The Turk from being otherwise useful, bogging him down in combat and preventing him from using his one possible power.  Also, his lack of any kind of visual sensory apparatus places him in the same kind of boat as Daredevil- only without any kind of honed hearing skill.

Known Allies:  The Justice League, The Human Stench, The Wonder Twins (nearly as pathetic as he is).

Known Enemies: Hungryman, Lexx Luthor, Solomon Grundy.

Known Affiliations: The Justice League, The Less-Than-Heroes (co-founder)

Story:
Superman's experiments with Kryptonese baking techniques went terribly awry one Thanksgiving, merging little Timmy at the orphanage with a turkey, granting him no fantastic powers or skills, but rather an unusually pure set of 10 karat gold buttocks, capable of...Well nothing, really.  In fact, they come as a bit of a hind-rance (chortle!) as they prevent The Turk from actually flying around.  Nevermind the fact that he's got no head and can't see a thing.  Superman and the gang kept him around out of pity, and because he smells absolutely DELICIOUS!  The Turk's career was relatively short-lived, however.  After co-founding The Less-Than-Heroes with The Wonder Twins and The Human Stench, they received a call from the mayor that thousands of pounds of food donated to charity had been stolen.  They tracked (with great effort) down the foe responsible, Hungryman and his midget sailors!  Locked in a vicious struggle, The Turk's hungry-sense was overcome by The Human Stench's smell and Hungryman swallowed him whole, later complaining of severe cramps. 

It is not known whether The Turk survived digestion.

[mwahahaha]

It's... The DISEMBODIED LIMBS and their "BROKEN WHEELCHAIRMOBILE"!!!

[Corey]

awsome topic too 

[vict0r]

Stop flirting with Erics lady friend corey! He'll get all worked up. And we all know about the rash he tends to develop when he gets worked up.

And where's the turks head progz?

[scourge]

jesterman or short j-man. His powers are telling jokes and ridiculing people. In some circles this might be considered special powers (adventure genreÃ,  ) but it's not much use for saving the world. .. i think.

In a alternate timeline, Americans weren't the only ones who had access to nuclear weapons during WWII.
They did, however drop the bomb on Hiroshima, unaware of the progress made elsewhere.
Our protagonist awakens in Hiroshima a few hours after the bomb was dropped. He is in great pain, a large portion of his body is covered in radiation burns. There are no other signs of life to be found in a few miles radius. Shortly thereafter, Japan unleashes a counterattack, resulting in a global nuclear war and an atomic winter. Our protagonist frantically seeks help as the bombs fall, but before he can reach the nearest city, three quarters of the world's population are dead. Over a period of weeks, he sees everyone around him die from radiation-related causes. Finally he attempts suicide, and succeeds.
His exposure to radiation has begun a cancerous process, for now it works in his advantage. Days after impaling himself, he yet again awakens, thanks to the cancer that regenerated parts of his vital organs.
With no other choice, he swears to have revenge upon the people who dropped the bomb and begins a journey across the world. He is in a constant state of change, his body heals itself like a salamander that grows a tail, but also in great pain and the changes aren't always positive.  He soon comes to understand that chance seems to keep him alive, the constant mutations find new ways to start organs shutting down, rendering him nearly invulnerable, but they also sometimes shut him down as they produce various blockages in his brain and visceral system. As time progresses he resembles less and less a man.

Then why are his powers useless?

Because he doesn't know yet that he is the last person alive. He cannot exact revenge, or take his own life, since radiation continues to mutate his cells and breathe life into his corpse.

[Bartimaeus]

Holy crap

[Redwall]

That could make a really cool game (except for the fact that now everyone already knows the big plot twist).

[Haddas]

That would be the awesomest film/game ever. If not EVERYONE was dead. This has inspired me to make a game. I shall call it "Fallout"

[MrColossal]

[Kinoko]

I'm sorry, I couldn't look at them all. I got to Mr Frisby's and I laughed myself stupid. I have tears in my eyes. It's AWESOME!!! I am in awe.

EDIT: No, I looked at the rest. Biothlebop, very awesome sprite and idea! That would make an awesome game. Even if everyone was dead. You could make a cool 'self discovery' type game.

Eric, as usual, fantastic sprite! I know it's the seam on his pants but it looks like he has a little... yeah.

[Afflict]
