Introducing... THE IMPRACTICALS!

What happens to the superheroes who got cut from the X-men?

What happens to the ones that Spider-man doesn't wanna be friends with?

What happens to those whose super powers have limited practical applications to fighting crime?!

They've banded together to form...

THE IMPRACTICALS!



Name: The Sweeper
Alter ego: Sweepy Chan

A mild-mannered computer programmer by day, Sweepy Chan becomes The Sweeper by night. With the uncanny ability to locate all the mines in any Minesweeper computer game, The Sweeper almost made the Avengers roster until it was discovered that his powers did not actually work with Mac OS versions of the game.












Name: Heidi Seek

Astronaut Heidi Seek was sent on a scientific mission to Uranus, during which she got caught in a cosmic storm. Upon her return, Heidi discovered that she had gained the power of invisibility - but only when her eyes are closed!














Name: Exchanger
Alter ego: Karen C Ekschange

Not much is known about this former international superspy, except that she has the incredible power to convert all foreign currency to local currency at the touch of her finger. She decided to join the Impracticals since her last gig paid her in Mexican pesos while being based in London.












Name: The Shrink
Alter ego: Mike Smaller

As psychiatrist Mike Smaller was cleaning his attic, he discovered a mysterious box in the corner. When he opened it, he found the Shrink suit! This remarkable suit allows the wearer to shrink by about 4 inches off their normal height, making crime fighting in low-ceilinged spaces just that much easier!
