5 | ''The Good, The Bad and The Spandex'' is a {{superhero}} play-by-post role-playing game started by Troper Tropers/{{Sijo}} on the TV Tropes Forum in the summer of 2016. In it, you can play a hero, villain, or anti-hero, but it must be an original character; maximum power level is JustForFun/SuperWeight class 3. Players may create more than one character but only play as one at a time. The rules of the game were set up by votes from participant players. |

7 | The game itself takes place in Easton, a city located in the East Coast of the United States. In addition to characters, players can also suggest world-building concepts, and Easton itself has been developed that way. |

51 | * PowerArmor: In true ScienceHero fashion, Eisendrachen wears a suit instead of having any sort of (combat) powers. |
