Wherein your humble scribe presents a fantastical quartet of randomly generated superheroes for the recently released Supers! Revised Edition. This nifty evolution of Simon Washbourne’s Supers! includes a random generator in its Appendix 3, so that’s what I used. Minor editing of the characters after generation occurred, but when I say minor I mean minor. These four are pretty much exactly as I rolled them.
And there came a day unlike any other. A random day. And on that day four mighty heroes joined forces to defend the world from those who would prey upon it. Quickstudy, whose powers were unlocked by a mystical tome she discovered while researching her graduate thesis. Sunburst, a beautiful mutant as radiant as the sun. El Oso, a man cursed to live life as a bear, who serves good in the hope of having this curse lifted one day. And The Weatherman, whose amazing scientific gadgets allow him complete control over the atmosphere.
Beware, evildoers. You face… The Four!

These are great. If you don’t mind I would like to link them through the various sites where we are talking about SUPERS! Thank you for your Support!
Thanks, Walt! I’m glad you like them. Please feel free to share them around as you see fit, amigo! I’m a long time fan of Simon’s work, and I think y’all have done an outstanding job refining & expanding the original Supers! with RED. Cheers!
Awesome! I’ll make sure this gets spread around like a cold at a playground. Thank you for your support!
Ewww 🙂 But that’s a senses-shattering, face front true believer kind of eww. Glad to help the cause in my own little way, Walt!
I’m glad you are enjoying the random hero generator I whipped up! Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for contributing this to Supers! RED, Reid. It’s a mighty fine piece of work indeed! I don’t think I have any questions at the moment, but if I think of any I’ll let you know.
