Pretty much. Since you are 'super new' don't try to go too far over the board. Pick someone you've always liked and work in that bubble. You can change everything but the powers. So you can effectively swap powers between two heroes and make someone all new. List your top 5 favorite comic characters in DC or marvel, there are a LOT of powersets so don't be afraid (in avengers assemble cartoon, the squadron supreme is the justice leauge from DC: Hyperion=superman, Nighthawk=batman, Zarda=Wonder woman, Dr spectrim=green lantern, speed demon=flash and nuke=Catain atom )

Thanks for the advice! :) Mostly I'm just new to the RPing format on this site. But I'm fairly well versed in the Marvel EU, and I have a mutant character that's been sitting on the sidelines of my brain for a while, so with a few tweaks she'll probably be power based on Magma (Amara Juliana Olivians Aquilla) from the X-Men. Also, while the name Magma is kinda cool, am I allowed to change it?
