It's all in a name

So, Heroes Ultimate has long been a well supported team on the Brisbane local scene and in recent years this club has enjoyed steady growth where it was necessary to start a second side (agent orange). But all this time our caped crusader has been nameless! What kind of a super hero do we have if he/she doesn't have a name? And more importantly a good one!  Think about it, Bruce Wayne could have been "Koala Man" - lame; Peter Parker might have been -  "The terrific Termite" (I stole those from a website). The fact is, a superhero's name is the starting point for costume design, gadget names, the whole persona thing... Except we have the costume and the persona based on a many years of service in BUML. SO WE NEED A NAME and the search is on. Make a comment get involved. Who is this guy? I'm looking at you Gavin.

Post a name and we'll vote on it later

  8. Coming from a vague and distant parallel universe of the future, little is known about our hero - even his real name (possibly George).

    This is what we do know:
    - His focus in crime fighting is against the 'Makefeelsad' gang and its leaders 'Put Down', 'Bully' (not Meagan), and 'The Excluder'. THEY MAKE HIM SICK!
    - His preferred battle field is a flat grassy surface.
    - Upon powering up, he employs numerous diving and sliding techniques and sometimes you can see his suit change colour from white to green.
    - The 'Backhand of Justice' (one of his many attacks) is often used in high risk situations, involving his flat 'disc-like' weapon being 'hucked' a long distance, defeating the enemy.
    - He wears a cape because capes are cool.


    Bondadoso, (or Bon to his friends) allegedly received his name after an incident involving some Chileans. Often mispronounced Bon the Doso - perhaps in reference to the unassuming human form (by the alias Doso) of ancient Greek goddess of harvest Demeter, who in an attempt to turn a man into an immortal god annoited him with ambrosia and put him in the fire every night - both common tactics used by Bon.

    Whatever you call him, he is our Hero, and it's in his spirit that we play Ultimate.

    Just putting some out there, I actually like a bunch of the others too.

    P.S. Carl, you should make a poll of most popular ones to decide the top one!

  15. Wow, close between The Incredible Huck and The Hammer! I voted for the hammer, but only cause I like me an underdog.
