1" tall guy squeaks at the villains from on top the table he just spent thirty minutes climbing... A villains says, "what? I didn't hear you?"

In a tiny squeaky whisper, "I am megaton!"

oh, and if anyone here likes scrappers, just remember one thing... Scrappy was the first scrapper... nuf said.

[Rocket Man]

A clumsy invisible man. You can't see him, but from the numerous loud noises of his passage, there's no doubt that he's in the area.

A thoughtful and careful agility monster could be fun. Instead of the flamboyant swashbuckler you'd get the cool collected operator type.

That would be Batman. Also Robin as soon as he got out on his own.

Of course he was named before they came along

Sue Storm (Richards) doesn't have weather powers...

None of the Summers clan (from X-Men) have any sort of heat/cold or seasonal powers (as far as I know; there's a lot of 'em, apparently).

The villain Willard Weir (Capricorn) had nothing to do with rats, mentalism ("will"), or being a were, unless you count a goat costume.

The word "Weir" means a dam. He was called that because (although the original Zodiac's powers were extremely vaguely depicted) he was the sign of the Sea Goat so he probably did have some kind of power to mentally control water. There are some random names out there (like Killgrave for a man who has no directly lethal or revenant powers) but Willard Weir isn't one of them.

Yeah. Who ever heard of a "Fire" Storm to go with a stretching millionaire named "Reed Richards" and a monster named "Grimm"?

Sue ends up being the odd girl out just because she was kind of an afterthought. Her name is "Storm" not because of her powers, but because she was Johnny's sister and so couldn't be named "Glass".

I actually did an alternate marvel universe where Susan Storm got Donald Blake's origin, and Johnny Storm got Frankie Raye's origin to make them "Thunder" and "Fire"
