I think you'll need to elaborate, since "way back in the day" means "before Eric joined in 2008" 😄 Tables of/for what?

 

back in the day there was a place where you could create a table it asked you how many rows and columns you wanted after you put in the date it generated the VBC code for what you were asking and all you had to do was copy and past it into your post. 

 

That Junk is confusing!

• History: Formerly known as Kid Comet, Todd Duan was one of the four individuals that made up the pre-existing hero team of Phenomenon, before they joined up with ARMOR under contract. Phenomenon formed after a mixture of magical and scientific technology detonated in a deep facility containing the four members of Phenomenon and their future foe, the self-dubbed Professor Perilous. The youngest member of the team, Todd served as a foil to his sister Phantom, her future husband Tensile, and their friend Rockslide. When the internal issues within Phenomenon split them up, Kid Comet dropped the 'Kid' and became an independent hero for some time, serving as an erstwhile ally for the less powerful but more intelligent Arc Angel. When he got into trouble, Arc Angel got him out, and vice versa. Pairing up with a number of other heroes (and especially heroines, when he got the chance), the reckless boy became a headstrong, handsome man over the course of half a decade. Despite having spent as much time a free agent as a member of Phenomenon, he answered his sister's call when she re-instated the team along with her marriage to Tensile.
• Personality: Brash and bold, Todd claims that the mixture of emotional intensity and quick wit makes him attractive to women. His flawless physical form and handsome face might be more responsible, though his breadth of experience gives him interesting experiences and strong conversation skills. As the least intelligent member of the brains-stacked Phenomenon, he's had to make up for his lack of technical expertise with strong people skills and persistence. Through a mixture of pairing up with reliable sorts and being a perpetual optimist, he has a habit of getting himself deeper into trouble than he can dig himself out of. Despite this, his quick wit is good for more than just trading barbs with supervillains, and villains that think of him as raw power only can be blindsided by an expected flash of brilliance.
• Abilities and Resources: Comet's time with Phenomenon has allowed him to brush shoulders with some of the highest names in the nation, including one instance where he shamelessly asked Titanium Woman out on a date during an interview. If there's an independent hero, especially in New York, Comet has likely worked with them at least once. He has worked side by side with police, though he's more of a fast-talker than a legal expert. He has a good relationship with his sister, a brotherly rivalry with Rockslide, and an icy understanding with Tensile, on account of the genius's previous emotional absence to his sister. As might be expected, he and firefighter First Responder don't get along well, on account of the former's tendency to outrage and the latter's socially conservative bent.

• History: Obtaining the honor at 22 years old, Harold Dwight is the youngest individual to be officially dubbed Captain Cobra. Fifteen years later, he has the track record to prove he deserved it from the very beginning. A brilliant officer in the Marine Corps dedicated to going above and beyond, his overall stellar performance and interest in covert operations made him the obvious student of the aging previous holder of the title. Jacob Freight, whose body had been broken by decades of exhausting espionage, put everything he had into making sure Harold had all possible advantages. Fast-tracked through everything in order to get the maximum mileage out of him, Dwight continued to exceed all expectations despite momentary mistakes, lapses in reason, and sidetracked priorities. Fighting the secretive and sinister Snake Society locally and abroad, he foiled plot after plot by the group to commit acts of terror or undermine good order or freedom. His status as ARMOR's golden boy was tested by fire, and though some of his idealism melted away when confronted with ugly truths about the way the world worked, Harold's ability grew as he aged. Marrying four years into his work, he has a nine-year-old son and a four-year-old daughter.
• Personality: Someone as amiable as the Captain wouldn't even scan as a possible spy, which is part of what makes him so effective at his job. Friendly, courteous, and as patient as someone on a strict timetable can be, Dwight does his best to be a good friend, fine husband, and better father. His calm, collected presence makes him the go-to authority in most situations where danger is afoot. Despite his charming demeanor, he is still a spy, which leads him to be cautious and dodge hard answers to questions. In defiance of most expectations of spies and military personnel, Harold doesn't drink alcohol or smoke unless it's to maintain cover. He's naturally a skeptic about most things: Partially as a result of having his headset compromised more than once, but mostly because he's had to listen to poor justifications for bad decisions.
• Abilities and Resources: Captain Cobra carries a decade and a half of high-intensity experience with firearms, covert work, deception, leadership, counterintelligence, close-quarters combat, and government red tape. The title of Cobra itself carries almost a century's worth of legacy, which he lives up to as much as he can. As the Captain, his word is practically gospel to the more impressionable members of ARMOR, such as Lightning Lad. Harold has hundreds of contacts all over the world, legal or non. His long-since-retired mentor Freight "Train" remains one of the premier minds in the United States, albeit one that's tucked away in a think tank or playing golf more often than not.
