A Marvelously Dreamy Idea

Last night I saw a picture in my dreams, and by the time I was out of the shower, I'd turned the idea from it into a Super Hero, or at least the background for a super hero. Since 90% of my knowledge of super heroes comes from playing the Marvel Super Hero Role Playing Game twenty or so years ago, I'm pretty sure that that influence how I conceived of the character. For reasons not entirely related to the era in which I played, the character's background is set up for the mid to late 80's, but I'm sure someone more familiar with the ways of comics could figure out how to jump it 20 years.

( Background )

Now to apologize for, or at least explain, the title of this post. As I said 90% of my knowledge of Super Heroes comes from the MSHRP game, sometimes known as the FASERIP system, which used adjectives ("feeble," "poor," "monstrous" etc.) for the stats of the attributes, skills and powers. At least with a bunch of 20-something college kids, this led to regularly pun-filled gaming sessions. So, given my background, a pun seemed appropriate.
