SSB:CORD Edition
On SB, I one day had the random idea to assign superpowers to members based on their usernames as well as nicknames and personality. Thus the SSB AU was born.
Since the shift from SB to CORD, it seems only fair to expand this AU to the members of the new forum. I have no clue how the team changed from one consisting of SB members to one consisting of CORD members (because of my story I'd rather not consider a timeline where the SB team didn't exist). Hey, I never even specified how the original group got together, so this can be something we could all work on.
The Members
SRunning: can run on air. Former antagonist. Scientist, programmer, and support/distraction on missions.
SSparrow: can shapeshift into a sparrow, talk to sparrows, and has a level of control over them. Unofficial Disney princess of the group, as well as the medic and occasional spymaster.
SRainy: The rare water type Rainy. Natural habitat: near waterfalls"
As explained by eschara's lovely summary, Rainy can control droplets of falling water (commonly in the form of rain, although if there was a waterfall or you threw a bucket of water into the air or used a sprinkler it would have the same effect). After initially becoming estactic at the thought that she was a Waterbender, Rainy was disappointed to find that she couldn't make a single droplet in a standing pool of water move. And she was equally ineffective against water moving sideways or upward, and her power is weakened the more extreme the water's temperature. On the other hand, she never needs an umbrella now. Even without her powers she is exceedingly good at combat, and tends to take point on missions and fight on the front lines. Also teaches self defense to other members.
SDreamer: has phenomenal super-ninja fighting abilities that she can only use while sleepwalking. She doesn't always remember battles she's fought while sleepwalking, and while it is difficult to wake her up mid-fight, cold water usually works. It also makes for amusing situations since it is not easy to fall asleep on command. Role beyond front line fighter undecided.
SSpotted: with her uncanny naming abilities, Spotted is able to find the "true name" (or at least, she claims it is the true name) of an inanimate object and thereby turn it into an animate character under her control. Unfortunately, finding the true name of an object is difficult and Spotted generally needs to get attached to said object first, resulting in her tending to control adorable things like dolls, plushies, fuzzy pillows, and pillow pets rather than, say, a tank. Often provides support in missions as well as operating a spy network.
SKao: one day her desire for her headcanons to come to fruition became so powerful that she developed the ability to control other people's emotions. Said power is more effective when victim is not on their guard. Tends to work in the background supporting operations.
SSilva: can mold and shape objects comprised of silver (the element). While she can manipulate silver from a distance, she has more control when she is touching the object, and the farther she is from the silver, the weaker her control. As she controls only silver, when it comes to materials that are silver alloys, the greater the percentage of silver in the object, the stronger her control.
STatl:people are incapable of lying to her. This can also apply to written messages if written within close range of STatl. She also has a knack for bringing out forgotten truths from people. Spy and techie.
Non-CORD members of significance (aka they were in my story):
SBlaze:former co-leader with SSparrow, can blind people when enraged
SBlackie: can vanish into and travel through shadows
SJackal-can shapeshift into a dog
TODO: SDorky
Timeline ish things:
(Essentially the only canon ish events and their approximate relative order)
SSparrow and SRainy join/help found the group
SRunning joins SSB after a rather violent first encounter. It's a long story.
SSpotted comes into contact with SSB and eventually becomes a consultant.
SDreamer joins after a violent first encounter.
SSpotted officially joins SSB.
PsyKao becomes a mysterious reoccurring antagonist.
SKao joins SSB.
(STatl and SDorky can join anywhere in the timeline after SRunning joins. I also don't know when SSB-CORD would splinter off, or why).
Writings
A Dark Beginning (working title)-Running
A runner on a mysterious mission infiltrates the mansion-fortress of a superhero team. Things go crazy from there.
Shenanigans Headcanons:
"Episode" and plot ideas. People are free and encouraged to write drabbles or stories based on these or add ideas
Party Crashing: For some reason, SSB needs to attend a very formal party. Insanity ensues, in part because they had to struggle to get invited. Will SRainy's natural enthusiasm and charisma win out or will her clumsiness and craziness destroy her court approval? Will SSparrow or the tag team of STatl and SKao gather more secrets? Will SSilva actually get to fight somewhere where silver is in abundance? Will SDreamer be able to resist the lull of sleep with all these waltzes and food comas, especially since she pulled an all nighter making sure everything was in order? At least SRunning was able to opt out of going to the party...except that her secret identity was actually invited and she has to attend anyway despite the team knowing. And a certain "old friend" blackmails her into dancing with her.
Dress Shopping: Prequel to Party Crashing. Before infiltrating a party, one must be properly attired, after all.
Dance Bootcamp: Another prequel to Party Crashing, as some superheroes prove to be incompetent when it comes to dancing.
Obligatory Body Switching: self explanatory. Bonus points if an antagonist is thrown into the mix.
Obligatory Evil Twin: Either evil versions of some or all of the members are created or some of the members are turned "evil".
Powers Always On: A scenario in which a supervillain or some magic temple thing zapped the team and everyone's power essentially got "stuck" in an on mode. For instance, Running can't touch the ground and the only way she can move is by running in the air, Sparrow is stuck in sparrow form, etc. The team is forced to break up temporarily because of the insanity and go on separate journeys in search of a solution.
Cosplay: SSB does a group cosplay. They get attacked while in costume.
Rise to Fame: SSB eventually becomes a group of big name supers, which leads to merchandise and royalties, but also to fans of the adorable, annoying, and terrifying varieties.
The Name
SSB and SSB-CORD are really just names used by us. If anyone has suggestions for a better in universe name for the group that would be awesome. "Silverblood" actually does have meaning in this universe (read my story to find out) but it might not work especially well as a name for the superhero team.

On July 13. 2013 I wrote this headcanon, unaware of the consequences:
"A scene from the early days of Super SB, before the whole team is formed, in which Runningwing is not yet known to the team and is somehow either hired or coerced by a supervillain to steal something from Super SB HQ. The result is a chase scene in which Running hides her powers early on and subtly reveals them as the chase progresses."
