The much more common cold:
Affects all current species
Causes violent sneezing fits
Low fever
Sniffles
They get it once, keep it forever

Sound good?

Um.
Cut out the sneezing fits and make Eladrin not affected (it's probably not worth tailoring it to the biochemistry of seven people, anyway), and sure.

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.
"Well, I thought I was done here, but apparently not. What form to take, what form, what form...
Take the form of a horrifying being that defies spacetime, logic, reason, and everything in general.

((Wait, I though you were STILL your old self...))
[5-1] "Oh, my. Hello there...Sure. Kill where now?"

Continue summoning Greek Heroes. Then kill Lich.

[1] You summon Loki. [4v2+3] The lich draws its massive blade made of souls and slices your head off. Lethally.

Absorb the bunnies. Painfully.

[1] You get strapped down by them again.

Corai. Necromancer swordsman. (amidoingitright)
Walk out from behind the Lich. "Something is not right here. My liege, shall I murder these intruders?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

Apollo and Zeus debate. [5v2] The party ends.

"BULLSHIT!"  SUMMON SATAN WITH HIS METAL BAND, RESURRECT PARTY WITH DARK GHOST SORCERY

[2] No such luck...

If I reset everything then why are we statues?

You set everything back to how it was when Spinal started his magnum opus.

Reset your Cthulhu-ness.
Reset again just to be sure
Reset yet again.
Wait for a while then RESET.

[6] You reset yourself to how you were at the Big Bang.

Roar a dragon' call for war.

Cough!

[2] You cough. Ice cream splorches out.

Why I no on list?
And why hats not separate faction?

Both you and the hatlings are on the Villains list.

pray to god of bats for my old body.
Send some hatlings to attack anyone attacking me or the Lich .

[6] You turn into a bat!

Repent, and serve the Knight Tiger by smiting his enemies.

[1v6] You perform an impromptu heroic sacrifice! The lich's tower is replaced with a huge crater. "Damn it..."

"Patrick, Spongebob, Lich needs your "help". He'll be your friend forevervif you help him"!

[5] You ploy works! They decide to bring in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy! And a couple other, more competent superheroes.

Escape the inner planet/moat and battle and attack Knight Tiger.

[3] You throw a ball of ice cream at Knight Tiger!

BOSS TURN:
Knight Tiger [1+2v1] creams Doomblade. Don't throw an icecreamball at someone in a giant exosuit who happens to hate you.
The heroes choose to attack the lich! [6] Amazingly, they managed to be effective! However, this draws the ire of the lich and the hatlings, [4+3,5] who manage to kill several. Specifically, the lich beheads Mermaid Man, Barnacle Boy, and Aquaman in one slice, while the Hatlings kill the Wasp, Ant-Man, and the Ten-Eyed Man, making my TV Tropes research nullified.

I need more ideas for disease......

You don't need something horrible and fatal, because you get influence for how many people are sick. Killing them off takes that bonus away. Maybe you could create something like the common cold?

If it's not inconvenient, I can't say I'd object to this.

Yeah, I know. It's just that causing time paradoxes is roughly the equivalent of casting random magical spells on yourself. Sure, things can potentially work out... but do you really want to take that risk?

You REALLY haven't been around very long, have you? Bay12ers aren't terribly cautious...well, except me maybe.

Hey, I'm right here!

You're a sane Bay12er, too? Neat. How've you been?

How do you even get it to work?

Oooh, wait, this was this batshit insane Dutch company that wants to send people to Mars.

Translated quote from a Dutch scientific magazine:

Quote

In 2033 the Dutch company Mars One wants to send the first four people to mars as part of a reality show. They now have to establish a colony there. [Emphasis mine]

Q: For tens of years many people have said they are going to send people to Mars. Why are you going to succeed?

A: Because our plan is the simplest. We aren't going to take people back to Earth, wich makes the mission cheaper. And we use existing technology, so we don't have to invent anything new before the mission can start.

Q: Mars' terrain is extremely unforgiving. Who would want to live there?

A: We already have many reactions of people that want to go ther. I would like to go myself, if I were suited for it. The people that we select know the riscs and know that there is no way back. But that doesn't stop them.

Q: Why do you want to make a reality show about a mission that's incredibly risky and you can't come back from?

A: Coverage by the media makes the mission possible and is vital for the financing of the misssion. Furthermore it gives a unique look on the life on Mars. If something bad happens to the participants, we obviously won't broadcast it and we really don't want to see them die. It's going to be serious.

I call insane.

I gotta agree.

Yeah I'd love to be proven wrong, but the whole company sounds like it was taken off a Shadowrun rulebook.

Of course, the fact that these kinds of plans--seemingly stolen from science fiction set decades in the future--makes me optimistic about what other "impossible" things we might achieve soon...

Yeah, I know. It's just that causing time paradoxes is roughly the equivalent of casting random magical spells on yourself. Sure, things can potentially work out... but do you really want to take that risk?

You REALLY haven't been around very long, have you? Bay12ers aren't terribly cautious...well, except me maybe.

Any chance of the NPCs showing up soon? I can see Grenyl trying to hop back in time to test out the Butterfly or something.
