ehh, maybe.  I should probably give LNH fandom the naming privilege for 
their team...  and I see one vote for Net.ropolis High.  And Avengers 
Academy vs. the Wolverine School for Gifted Youngsters, proves 
Net.ropolis does not have to be near Power City (now in Oregon) to have 
a good rivalry.  So, I could see the Power School Dynamos vs. the 
Net.ropolis High Legion.

Well, isn't that what superheroes *are*?  I think Our Teachers would 
like some more ritualized form of combat.

I can always hope.  I'm not deep enough into Powernaut 1987 to be 
committed to it yet, but I kind of think the retroactive adventures of 
Happy Bears And Their Amazing Friends might get really old really fast.
