[Mpauli, Bitten by a radioactive book]

Bullseye has been revealed as our new villain for June. You can view his challenges either on the front page of this thread or in our villain thread here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Shawnie]

Challenge Master Michael, in Partials, the main comes up with a cure for a disease. Would she be an "inventor" for the purposes of Mr. Fantastic's Stretch? She "invented" the cure for her people. Is that "stretching" too far? :-D

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

you didn't..."

Unfortunately it wasn't for me in many ways. But I appreciate so many people enjoyed it. I can't really imagine Matt Damon as Watney, but in fact I'm kinda looking forward to the film version. Since reading the book, I always see a rover driving on Mars when a disco song plays on the radio... From this angle, the movie might be really cool.

This week saw another significant win for Team Marvel with a lot of recruitments going on.
For Team DC Wayland recruited Batman and Nara added Green Lantern to her roster.
For Team Marvel Lel recruited Daredevil, Groot and Mr. Fantastic, while Brendan added Human Torch and Rocket Raccoon. Rocket was also recruited a second time by Shawnie.
Team DC acquired 1 Energy Cell, while the Marvelites added 3, which brings both teams up to 40 cells.

That is totally fine and in the spirit of Mr. Fantastic. Initially I was thinking more of gadgety inventions, but within the Marvel comics people like Reed Richards, Hank McCoy or Hank Pym often work on antidotes or serums, so I think it works fine with inventing a cure or vaccine.

Can Tracer count for a black and white cover for Mr Fantastic, or does that little bit of orange disqualify it? :P
