This is a fairly simple and creative game. Anyone can play; just reply to the previous post in the thread. Try to avoid branching chains, though!

Your post will contain three pieces: a superhero/villain name, a corny catchphrase for the hero the previous player named, and a short blurb for the hero the previous player gave a catchphrase to. It goes like this:

(0. You will put the name of your own hero/villain here.)

1. Name: American Aardvark
(You will add a catchphrase to American Aardvark.)

2. House (This would have been posted by the previous player.)
Catchphrase: "Never bet against the House."
(You will add a blurb to House)

3. The Narrator - "Are we sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin..."
Blurb: When the Narrator plants her staff in the ground and begins to read, the world around her changes. The story she reads takes shape, spreading in a growing circle from the base of her staff. Skyscrapers can become jungles; oceans can become caves; there is no limit to her transformative powers, nor - as long as she keeps reading - how far they can spread. Only when her staff is uprooted from its place will reality snap back.
(You will delete The Narrator from your post.)

If a completed hero/villain catches your fancy (as the Narrator here), feel free to reply to her blurb post with a creative work featuring her - a picture, a story, anything you want. You can even incorporate other completed characters from the thread! But don't try and shoehorn it into a full Round Super-Robin post - keep the stories etc separate from the character creation.

It is possible that there will be a picture of the heroes and villains of Round Super-Robin, once the thread winds down - so go ahead and make them as silly as you like!

Next player: add a new Name, add a Catchphrase to American Aardvark, add a Blurb to House, and delete The Narrator.
