Subjects' names: Abel Tarrant, John Oakes, Mark Richards

Subjects' powers: Each of the three Tattooed Men have essentially the same power, the ability to make the tattoos on his body come to life. The first two used special chemicals to make the so-called living tattoos. The third used "sin-grafting" to attach people's sins to his body (and they say the Silver Age was crazier)?

Why this power seems good: Because it's original and easy to hide. You can catch any superhero (who isn't aware of who you already are) totally off-guard, because they'll probably just mistake you for a highly tattooed fellow -- a Navy guy or a biker -- rather than a full-on supervillain. Bonus: If you got a tattoo of a naked lady riding a motorcycle atop a flaming skull, it could come to life.

Why it might suck: First off, those things are permanent. You'll have them your whole life. Would you want that tattoo of a plane that could come to life when you're 60? You better think it over. On top of that, what happens when you go to sleep? Do your tattoos just start flying around all over the room? That could be a real problem. Especially if your motorcycling lady atop the skull just up and left to do who-knows-what.
