These are great words, the names for these foods. And the superhero team pretty much assembles itself: Flax and Kale as the alpha female and male, Okra the big bruiser, Hemp the cerebral one, Chia short frizzy and gabby for comic relief.
I envision a show like the new Teen Titans. For those very
few of you who might be unfamiliar, this superhero group has its provenance in a group that fought supervillains etc. The new version of them does not fight villians or do much at all except squabble, crack wise and get up to hijinks in the venerable sitcom style.
So too this crew. Although some fighting would be fine from time to time, to establish superhero cred. Mostly the idea is to endear the characters and drive sales of the healthy food bars containing their namesakes.

There is an acronym in there... |
|
|
"Chard and Lard, brothers separated at birth, now
engaged in an epic struggle for supremacy..." |
|
|
Sitting here with chia and flax seeds between my teeth, I
fear I must bun this, outta loyalty. |
|
|
Superhero team? When I'm scared, hurt or in peril, those
are definitely not the 4 letter words which come to mind. |
|
|
The Spanish version might be: |
|
|
Lino, okra, col rizada, cáñamo, Chia |
|
|
They need weaknesses too. Okra can't get wet or
he gets all slimy. Chia's hair grows wild whenever
he comes in contact with clay. Kale has to stay
wet. Flax gets constipated when angry, and Hemp
goes spacey around fire. |
|
|
Weaknesses; yes, yes: just so. |
|
|
Their boss Oat (like Zorgon, or maybe Charlie) has no weakness, but no particular strengths either. Really no factors for or against. He will dispatch them to emergencies, or do other projects. Often he does not. Sometimes he just enjoys their company, in his own way, they suppose. |

How are you proposing to develop Bran-d awareness ? |

there could be an origin myth about the "flaming carrot" starting a garden outside chernobyl. |
