Okay, let's say I wrote Irony Man, Master Blaster, Sister State-the-
Obvious and Sarcastic Lad.  Actually I could also write more.  I think
I'd like to first hammer out a basic plot though that everyone can
agree on.  There should be some major menace that the heroes face at
the end (more powerful that Dr. Lo Kee, Darksnide and Magna Man
combined).  Maybe this is where the Time Crapper comes in.
