Hi. I'm working on a cricket-based superhero, and I would like some suggestions as to what would be ideal foils for this character?

I've got so far, a villian with locust-like powers/abilities and attributes

Another villian with katydid-like powers, abilities and attributes

A sonic-powered ninja

A living boombox

A wax-man

A coral-man

A fabric-man

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

My guy used a tactile sound control system as his main weapon-how would lint stop him? Very Happy

I'm not sure what a tactile sound control system is but lint man shoot unlimited amounts of lint from two lint traps he weilds from an underground laundry mat in Tokyo.

The lint wound disable all cirkets and conections and smother all speakers.

Lint man surfs one of those laundry carts they use at the laundrymat.

P.S. maybe Lint man should be a woman.

Fabric man and lint Man (woman) are arch enemys.

TAKE THAT!!!!

Hi-on my character's costume he has a sound control on each wrist with which he can control the amplitude, volume and frequency of the chirps given out by his titanium-alloy wings rubbing together-the sound control is attached to the wings and there are minni speakers attached to the sound control units.

He presses down on certain buttons on his costumes' knuckles to control the units.

I was thinking the Fabricator could genrate cloth to muffle the sound, but my hero uses "tabacco blasters" as backup to dissolve things.

He also can lift or pull 6x his own body weight and jump at least 20x his own height.

A super hero that can absorb all differant kinds of waves and turn them into differant kinds of energy or thing.

But he can only make certain things out of certain waves.

And if he goes somewhere where there is no wave lenghts, sound waves, etc,etc then he can be defeated.

Like when they tricked Superman into going to that place made out of kriptonite.

For instance he can absorb all sound he can hear (traffic, birds, machinary)and concentrate it in a sonic blast in any pitch or freqency at the enemys head. But if there is little or no sound he can't do that and must rely on other waves around him. Let's say cell phone signals.

Sound doesn't work well on wood right?

Petroman could work as a villian.

Petroman works in secret and runs a world oil conspiracy all the C.E.O.'s of all the major oil companie report to him from his secret head quarters from an oil rig/platform from an unknown location somewhere in the bermuda triangle and it also leads deep under ground under the ocain.

He is very sick and nasty, a niahlist. Even the CEO's find him sickening but they are consumed by greed.

Yes I understand now except that I have an American style different from your style.

Now if this superhero is cricket-based, to be realistic s/he's got to be temperature-dependent. The hotter it is, the faster s/he chirps. There is a formula for that: count chirps in 15 seconds, add 39, and that's the temperature in degrees fahrenheit, accurate to within one degree. It works, I've tried it. Which means he's gotta carry something to wam him up when he's about to go into action and needs all the sound power he can get. Furthermore, an ideal public identity, a la Clark Kent, would be a TV weather forecaster--he's his own most useful instrument.

He's just a living mass of oil.

One of cricket mans offensive weapons should be a mean off-drive.

His weakness of course is the yorker but has a weakness for a well bowled googly.

His alter ego Alan (Captain Grumpy) Boarder.

Kenny Wong was a fitness guru and science buff who sought revenge on the crooks who ransacked his house and killed his pet cricket.

After extracting DNA from his pet cricket he concocted a serum that gave him superstrength and cricket-like abilities, such as the ability to lift 6 times his own weight and the ability to jump 20 times his own height and enhanced senses. He designed his own cricket-suit under the guise of Jade Cricket and fights crime in Chinatown.

His suit has a tactile sound control system, with each sound control unit on each wrist that controls the amplitude, volume and frequency of the chirps that emmanate from the rubbing of his titanium-steel wings. His wings also enable flight, and he can stick to walls and ceilings. He uses his sound control units as a weaopn-causing objects to implode, warping and bending objects, etc. and also uses "tabacco blasters" to dissolve objects as back-up.

What insects besides grasshoppers have the same abilities as crickets and what natural enemies do crickets have?

If Kenny Wong was in China he could fight the Red Guardian or Tiannaman. How about these ideas-or are these ideas offensive?
