The Adventures of the S-Team!

The backdrop behind the characters is one I’ve used in multiple settings. It was originally constructed for the “hallway” scenes, but I’ve decided it’s useful as a generic backdrop for scenes that take place in the S-Team’s headquarters. I use the “angled” doors to delineate sequences that take place there as opposed to someplace else. The Conference Room and Monitor Room sets also have these doors.

Obviously, the architect for the Fabulous S-Building watched too much Star Trek as a kid.

Come on, you knew this would be too much fun to keep just between Science Guy and Sandstorm, right? The more the merrier, I always say. Smokescreen’s “Mama pajama!” is a tip of the hat to Mystery Men, where the same line is uttered by Ben Stiller (Mr. Furious). Mystery Men is a big inspiration for the superhero-type humor I present here in AST. If you haven’t seen it, maybe you should.

Helen Parr (Elastigirl) said “I don’t think you’re striking the proper tone here.” Yes, one word is different, but my intention was that quote. I loved The Incredibles. It is probably one of my top two or three favorite movies of all time. It’s the first time a superhero movie was made right.
