12. Radio Tuner

Starsa gets a ton of credit from the players (myself included) for being the fun, flying, inanimate object with a goofy sense of humor that accompanies us on missions, but you know who else fills that role and more? Radio Tuner! Just a little salty with Vis over this one, because otherwise I would've been the first to rank it, and show Radio Tuner the appreciation it deserves (pre-emptively predicting that when Scare makes a ranking, the little iPod that could will place there as well).

You could say that Radio Tuner is a comic relief and be fairly accurate, but it doesn't properly describe all that Radio Tuner is. Sure, it's funny, bopping around in the air and communicating entirely non-verbally (but hey, some of my favorite characters are the non-verbal ones!). It comes across as both the most fragile member of our team (it is, of course, just an easily-destructible mp3 player) while also the most untouchable, having speeds and abilties vastly outranking any of our own.

The limits of Radio Tuner's power are frankly difficult to quantify. It's shown itself capable of moving at extreme speeds, dodging enemies even the best among us wouldn't be able to. I believe it showed itself capable of teleportation at one point if I'm remembering right, zipping away and coming back with a team of heroes to help us when we were at our most desperate. Radio Tuner warps the very fabric of reality and does so on a whim, changing what our attacks do, increasing and decreasing damage given and received, warping the very arenas and environments we find ourselves in.

We've spent so much of this campaign finding superheroes and magicians to combat Darkseid and the Spectre, and I'm not entirely convinced Radio Tuner couldn't solo the both of them if it really chose to do so, and with a killer backdrop of music as it does. Maybe that seems like an exaggeration, but if we go to space to take on Darkseid in the final battle to end all battles, and suddenly Muse's "Supermassive Black Hole" starts playing, don't say I didn't warn you.

Hint for #11: This character is older than Bloodfruit
