Hm, Pepper usually does a better job of wrangling Tony than to let him show up for a TV guest spot THAT drunk...

There is a Charm in Exalted. It allows the user to grab an enemy, swing them around a few times, and then throw them at a target of the user's choice. Once thrown, the subject of this Charm becomes a missile, flying toward its target at high speeds. Once it hits, it explodes, dealing high damage to itself, and anything near it.
This Charm is named Cancel the Apocalypse, and is right at the peak of Solar Hero Style. Stacker Pentecost is now either a high-Essence Solar, or a Sidereal master- whichever is more interesting.
EDIT: This concept was apparently so awesome, Yuku decided to eat my first attempt at it.

"UNLIMITED BAKED WORKS!"
Remember those Hostess ads that Marvel comics all had back in the 80s, where the Baddie of the Week would be overcome by irresistible Hostess(tm) Twinkies, Fruit Pies, King-Dons, Ho-Hos, etc? Yeah, it's like that, cranked up to 11.

You know, its called the 'Witchblade'. I can see a certain blade-obsessed redhead tracking it down, and giving to one of his companions. I'm not sure who's worse to have it. Rin or Saber.

...what about the rest of the set? I mean, I know the Whoblade is someplace in a blue police call box, but which person is the designated wielder of the Whyblade?

Oh, that one's actually not been seen yet. It appears only to Man (not woman), and it appears only in hour of greatest need. Only when all other members of the male gender have died off, and only one remains....

The Whatblade on the other hand is a conceptual weapon so common people actually wield it by accident - you can tell it's happened when your suspension of disbelief is suddenly severed and all you can do is say "... what?"

I don't see why; one you can never find, and the other keeps changing shape on you.

Alien life. We always thought it would come from the stars. But when it did, instead it came straight out of our Saturday-morning televisions. And immediately began supplanting us as the apex lifeform on planet Earth.
In order to defeat Ponies, we created Ponies of our own. And thus, the Equestria Program was born.
Alternatively: Jaegers are humanoid precisely to work with human neural maps. Equestrian versions would, logically, look more like Ponies. But what if the two best mutual Drifting candidates were a human and a Pony?
Also: Equestrian Jaeger names. The mind boggles.

We've just swapped the Jaegers of Pacific Rim with the Jaegers of Girl Genius. Which side thinks they got the better half of that deal?
I dunno. Are we sure Jaegers aren't already sparky creations? Crazy control scheme to split brainpower between 2 pilots created because otherwise the robot will kill the operators? Who thought this was a good idea?
Also, DDR x Pacific Rim. Special move: Drop the Jaeger Bomb.

I dunno. The scene for building the Jaegers I've seen suggested (on Spacebattles, I think) was the international equivalent of the bit in Apollo 13 where they pour all the available junk in the capsule out on the table in the room full of engineers.Except that instead of one small room of very light junk, it was instead every black budget and skunkworks program's collection of crazy boondoggles from across the planet.And the first thing that fell out of the mess that could kill a Kaiju were giant nuclear robots with neural links.

The wierd thing about Pacific Rim, is that ca. 1998 I came up with a Mekton campaign setting where the 'mecha' were kaiju-ish constructs/phenomena created by a pair of psychics syncronising their thoughts and biosigns. It was honestly mostly an excuse to have an "h-anime" type entry in the campaign contest, but it still took second place, and 'the drift' is remarkably close to what I envisioned. Alas, the actual document was lost four or five hdd failures ago, and is long gone from the 'net afaict.
