Power Users Generator 

This plugin uses the SuperHero API to generate users from your favorite characters in your Moodle instance.

    Great idea - Great plugin - Thanks!

    Note: If you have a typo in the API settings, your installation will freeze..

    To dev: Maybe it is better to have the fields default empty?

    Hi, thanks so much for the feedback! I think it makes sense to remove the default values, then it will ask for the keys after installation. I will fix it. Cheers!

    Really awesome plugin. However, it searches for an EXACT match , or partial ;) ( IE: if you want Dr. Strange, you need to search for "doctor Strange". on a partial match, it creates the user "stranger".

    So, i (locally) added this link to the plugin within languagestrings:
    https://www.marvel.com/comics/characters
    this way, I can allways check for the CORRECT spelling of a marvel character I want as a user...

    maybe you can add this to the plugin too?

    Hi Daniel, thanks so much for your feedback! Yes, this seems a great idea, sometimes is not easy to find the correct spelling of a character, so I will add your suggestion to the plugin. Please feel free to create PRs in Github or give me more suggestions like this one to improve the plugin. Cheers!
