Sticking with comic book heroes for the moment (or comic book heroines...)

Marvel 's 'Black Widow' - Natalia "Natasha" Alianovna Romanoff - (most famous bearer of the name)
A red-haired former Russian spy who defected to join S.H.I.E.L.D and then worked alongside the Avengers.
She dressed in a black leather cat-suit and wore distinctively shaped bracelets which fired the "Widow's Bite" electro-static energy blasts that deliver charges up to 30,000 volts.

... And in the movie "Iron Man 2" - and the upcoming "Avengers" movie for next year, the character is played by SCARLETT JOHANSON.

A double billing here!

There is always Scarlet O'Hara to keep all the men on their toes....

As well as being a welcome female addition to the ranks, this one could also provide some of the entertainment for Cloudbase parties: Pink (http://www.pinkspage.com/uk/home)

How about the entire cast of the CLUEDO game board?

Mrs. White
Professor Plum
Colonel Mustard
Mrs. Peacock
Miss Scarlet
Reverend Green
Doctor Black (the victim, apparently).

Wait... that means one of them is a murderer! Try to find which one before they get onboard Cloudbase!

Another Marvel heroine (or is she a villainess? We're never quite sure...she likes to keep them guessing...)

The White Queen (Emma Frost) former member of the Hellfire Club who finally joined the X-Men she had been fighting against.

I'll add another one!

THE BLACK PANTHER, King T'Challa, ruler of the African country of Wakanda, once of the most technology-advanced nations of the Marvel Universe, due to the fact that they own they only mine of Vibranium in the world - one of the toughest metal you can think of!

Maybe that could be useful against the Mysterons...

If Spectrum wants a team of personable and enthusiastic young people who are always willing to absail down mountains or make useful Christmas presents from empty washing up bottles and (the infamous) 'sticky-back plastic', they could always recruit the presenters of (wait for it :wink:

) BLUE PETER .

:lol:

A little bit odd....but, how about Clarissa Dixon-Wright & Jennifer Patterson (Two Fat Ladies)?

No Cloudbase personnel would dare miss a single meal in the Dining Hall!

(I hope the Colonel likes anchovies!) :-D

But what are their colours?

by **Marion** » Wed Aug 17, 2011 7:54 pm

Peach Melba and Lemon Meringue ... :lol:

by **hazel** » Wed Aug 17, 2011 9:01 pm

Snigger... sorry, still not colours. Sorry, DartBrat - can't accept The Two Fat Ladies as Honorary Spectrum Agents.

Making sure that all Spectrum agents are safe on the road: The Green Cross Code Man!
http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/g/grenxcod.htm

For non-British members: Green Cross Code Man (played by Dave Prowse, the original Body of Darth Vader) was part of our childhood here in 1970s UK, a superhero who taught us how to cross the road safely.

From radio, television, comic strips and movies...

THE GREEN HORNET!

*Flight of the bumblebee theme*

And... aww... why not add KATO, his trusted chauffeur and bodyguard? He might not have a colour-name, but he dresses all in black AND is a deadly martial artist (the role was played on TV by legendary Bruce Lee, for those who'd like to know...)

Additionnally - we know that having a trusted chauffeur can be a compulsory requirement, when you live a life of Deadly Danger, as Lady Penelope might tell you!
