Zounds! What's this? Superheroes?
Bayou Battle is a game of My Team, Your Team played over the internet, inspired by thesuperest.com and tinkerx.com - check them out. Anyone can submit - just email us for an invite. For those new to the site: View the posts from the bottom up. Happy battling!
Bayou Code of Honor
- Make sure to highlight your character's superpower.
- Focus your superhero's power on the previous champion's power as much as possible.
- Wordplay is strongly encouraged.
- The early bird gets the worm. If you're prepping a hero and someone beats you to the punch, too bad, so sad. It happens. Feel free to link to your alternate hero in the comments, though!
- If using a pre-existing character or hero, try to use it in a novel or creative way.
- If your reference is unusually obscure, feel free to include an explanatory link.
- To avoid repetition, look through earlier entries.
- Battle your hardest.

Ok...where's the superpower here? Let's not get lazy now guys...
Questioning: It's abstract, but it's still a superpower.
Maybe I misunderstand the game. Isn't the idea to come up with creative ways to beat the previous superpower? The lazy way to go here would've been "the escape artist" or something like that.
Well, it's all good - perhaps a "color quote" should be standard fare though - it encourages the highlighting of superpowers, and provides material for a response. In any case, she's been vanquished - fear the Pee-awn!
Ah, okay. I was going for an austere, "ivory tower" look, and I didn't want to clutter it up. I thought the superpower was self-explanatory.
To add to my point about creativity: Part of the fun, for me, is picking an obscure enough ability for a superhero that it forces the next person to strain to come up with something that could top it in an interesting way. That's why I try for comically ordinary or abstract superpowers: to goad the next person into a funnier response.
