NEW GAME: Honorary members of Spectrum

by **Marion** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 6:14 am

I have a PC game called 'The Settlers:Rise of Empires'. The baddies are called The Red Prince and Crimson Sabbatt. We should hope they get recruited by The Mysterons as they're useless war leaders - even I can beat them! :-D

From the list of DC Comics characters, how about "The Green Arrow?" Real name, Oliver Queen; heir to a fortune who went broke, then reclaimed his fortune.

How about The Red Max (A parody of the Red Baron), from Wacky Races?

Sorry, Parker, we had the Green Arrow on page 1.

I don't think we've had the Crimson Dynamo yet. This is a character from Iron Man, but for years (not being a comics reader) I only knew the name from the song Magneto and Titanium Man, by Wings.

Then why not "The Red Tornado," also a DC Comics character?

Good move! I was thinking about the Red Tornado for some times, as it looked like we didn't have many red dressed characters around!

How about YELLOW JACKET, from Marvel, then? I understand there's two characters by that name in that universe, but I'm thinking more about Henry Pym, wife of the Wasp, and who also was Giant Man, Ant Man and Goliath...

Boy, that man needs to find another pasttime, beside from thinking of all these super-hero names...

May I suggest The Spectrum, the 1960s group who sang the title song for original Scarlet?

I've got two! And they're sibblings! Why didn't I think of them before?!

The two Marvel super-heroes who started out as villains (and whom I don't know where they stand anymore now), THE SCARLET WITCH and QUICKSILVER (Wanda and Pietro Romanov).

For those who are a little bit curious, they're the kid of the nfamous Magneto.

If we can have groups, then how about 'Deep Purple'? :grin:

... Or Black Sabbath?

How about Black Rod? As well as being a pleasingly eccentric British tradition, Black Rod could also be a subversive Mysteron agent...

From http://www.parliament.uk/about/mps-and- ... black-rod/
Ceremonial duties: State Opening
Black Rod's role at the State Opening of Parliament is one of the most well-known images of Parliament.

Black Rod is sent from the Lords Chamber to the Commons Chamber to summon MPs to hear the Queen's Speech. Traditionally the door of the Commons is slammed in Black Rod's face to symbolise the Commons independence.

He then bangs three times on the door with the rod. The door to the Commons Chamber is then opened and all MPs – talking loudly – follow Black Rod back to the Lords to hear the Queen's Speech.

If we are talking Establishment, what about the Officers of the College of Arms?

Bluemantle Pursuivant
Rouge Croix Pursuivant
Rouge Dragon Pursuivant

Sounds pretty much like secret society codenames to me! :grin:

The Moody Blues?

How about these two past accomplices, from DC's Justice League?

Blue Beetle and Booster Gold?
