Character Origin & Backstory:

Derek Chandler was in the Air Force Academy and ultimately flunked out after seeing what he thought was a shapeshifting green alien. In fact what he saw was a Skrull infiltrator spying on the armed forces of the Earth in preparation for an invasion to gain ground on the Kree Empire. One night, after following the man he believed to be the alien he'd seen before, Derek was abducted by the Skrulls who began operating on him while still in Earth's orbit. Fighting out of the trance like state he was put in, Derek awoke and was able to cause just enough damage to the ship and the two alien Skrulls on board to see the alien craft crash into the Nevada desert.

Surprised that he survived the crash, Derek was shocked to find his eyes had altered color and that he was a lot stronger and faster than a normal human now. Making his way to his only remaining relative in NYC, his older brother [38] Donald, the 21 year old Derek decided to give superheroics a go with several superhumans catching the attention of the public eye as of late. Taking inspiration from a pair of 3D movie glasses in his brother's vast DVD collection, Derek settled on a symbol to call his own and the alias: the 3D Man.

Season 1 Summary:

3D Man took down several Skrulls posing as low tier heroes and villains including Thunderball, Black Goliath, Atlas, Dragon Man, as well as Griffin with an assist from Archangel.

Powers and Abilities (What can your character do? What can't they do?):

Derek now possesses strength, durability, speed, and stamina three times that of a normal human being. He can run as fast as 70 mph, but can attain short bursts of speed up to 90-mph. He can leap heights of up to 30 feet into the air. He can lift or press up to 1,400 lbs regularly. He also possesses a quasi-telepathic link to the distinct aura of the Skrull race, making him able to detect them in any form they assume. His brother calls Derek's power the 'Tri-Force'.

Sample Story Arcs: Give 2-3 ideas on where you want to go with your character.

Secret Invasion: Derek continues hunting down Skrull infiltrators in the form of civilians, 5th string heroes and villains, as well as somebody higher up on the food chain [TBD by myself and Ded].

F4 vs Super Skrull: 3D Man will more than likely be in on this one when @DrewVonAwesome makes it happen LOL.

Big Time: After establishing himself as a hero, 3D Man could become a member of the Avengers or perhaps something more like the New Warriors if there's enough younger heroes in the game. He'd get more of a super suit at this point as well.

Sample Post (This is used as an introduction to your writing – try to keep it to around three paragraphs or more and try to include dialogue):

"I've been tailing this 'Thunderball' character for three days now. Guy runs around with the Wrecking Crew, but I doubt they know he's one of these shape-shifting alien Skrulls. A month ago he assumed the identity of a doctor Elliot Franklin, probably to get intel on the gamma tech the military's working on. Now he looks to have got jacked on steroids and throws a ball and chain around. I can see his real face. And tonight, this alien's going down..." Derek thought as he leaped and ran across rooftops keeping up with a car Thunderball had stolen.

Sometime later before ditching the car, Thunderball changed clothes. The 3D Man could see him shifting his form rather than actually changing any clothing. The man looked to have dropped about forty pounds as well to help hide his other alternate identity. Derek moved ahead to the doctor's last residence and was waiting for the Skrull. Upon entering through the door into the open, the alien was caught off guard by a punch from the stronger and faster 3D Man. A couple more punches into it Derek grabbed the alien and threw him through a wall. The home was huge. The doctor had been rich after all, before the whole being abducted and replaced with an alien. 3D Man was usually a hit first ask questions later kinda guy when it came to the aliens he was hunting. As the alien struggled to get up, Derek finally thought to ask some questions. Hopefully the alien was informative like the better villains in James Bond films...

"I know you're called a Skrull. What are you doing on Earth?" 3D Man asked standing back from the floored alien.

"You can't MAKE me talk, human. You don't look like the torturing type." the alien said shifting back into his alien form clad in a ridiculous purple alien suit.

"I'm sure the military can find something to do with you..." Derek began before being interrupted by the alien.

"Wait... YOU'RE the one who defeated Captain Paibok? You may have got lucky against the Power Skrull but every other Skrull you hand over to your brother and his friends in the military..." the alien began as Derek got a shocked look on his face at the mention of his brother Donald, "..yes, we know about your brother, human. Every other Skrull merely shifts into another human and escapes before being completely neutered by your military. The last Skrull you sent away..."

"Goliath..?" 3D Man thought out loud.

"...already back among the human race as a hero this time. Atlas." the alien continued.

"What do you want with Earth?" 3D Man tried again as his brother and a few special military operatives in protective gear hit the scene.

"I'll take my chances with your friends, thank you. We'll be seeing you soon..." the alien continued before being restrained by a knockout gas and a fully automated fold out prison cell that formed around him.

"Did he tell you anything?" Donald asked his younger brother.

"Yeah, the alien I took down last week got away didn't he?" Derek asked with Tri-Force energy emitting more fluidly from his eyes.

"He did, why?" Donald asked.

"The one I just took down said he's already on the move again. As a hero calling himself Atlas." Derek explained.

"I saw that guy in the 'Bugle. Same powers, makes sense. You gonna go after him again?" the older sibling asked while noticing some of the finer things in the good doctor's home.

"That goes without saying. How do they keep getting away from the military?" 3D Man asked with aggravation being clear in his tone.

"Look... we're trying to replicate your 6th sense, but we need you to run more tests..." Donald began reasoning.

"I don't have time for tests, damnit!" Derek said a little louder as the last of the military agents evacuated the scene, "The more time I spend with you studying my powers the more time the aliens have to gain the upper hand.

"You just like being a superhero little brother. You don't have to lie to me." Donald said taking a jab at Derek.

"Can you give me a lift back into the city? I forgot my subway card and I don't have any cash on me?" Derek asked.

"You can run at least seventy miles an hour and you want a ride? In traffic?" Donald asked.

"I don't feel up for running, I just beat up an alien. And your car has a radio and a reclining seat..." 3D Man said grinning and showing off some dimples.

Character Origin & Backstory:

Warren Worthington III was your average rich kid with all the spoils and such privileged people were used to. That was until the day of his 13th birthday when he noticed something growing out of his back. One year later he had fully functioning wings, and despite his father's protests he used them to fly. Upon learning of other mutants and the Xavier School, Warren checked the place out for himself and even enrolled. However after about a month or two his anxiety to do something more kicked into gear and he headed out on his own. He had dreams of becoming a costumed adventurer but kept his head down and his wings tucked into his overcoat for the next few years while moving up in his father's company and attending college. After buying up as many shares in the company as possible, Warren took great pride in taking control of the company once he had over half the company in his back pocket. In nearly the exact same way as his father took the company from Warren Worthington I no less.

Still going out for a nightly fly every so often, Warren heard the screams of a young woman one night who was in the process of being mugged by two grungy looking men. When Warren touched down and saved the woman from the attackers, she broke down into tears claiming God had sent one of his agents to save her. Rumors began about an Avenging Angel defending the citizens of NYC. After seeing costumed heroes in the media like Capt. America and Spiderman, Warren made a costume of his own and took to the skies more regularly as... the ARCHANGEL.

Season 1 Summary:

Warren officially began his heroic career taking down a few muggers and going up against the Griffin a couple of times before the 3D Man revealed the monster man to be an alien in disguise. He recently met with the young Tony Stark and commissioned the prodigy of Stark Tech to assemble him a weapon. Now the hero wields a flaming sword.

Powers and Abilities (What can your character do? What can't they do?):

Archangel has wings granting him the ability to fly as well as enhanced physical attributes [strength, speed, endurance, durability]. There is also something in his blood that heals his wounds quicker, making him able to heal from serious injury within days and grow new wings within a few months if they're completely removed. He just heals quicker, but he doesn't have the OP'ed Wolverine/Deadpool healing factors.

Warren also wields a flaming sword designed by Tony Stark capable of cutting through most earthly metals and rock. The blade itself is made from titanium laced with adamantium making it virtually unbreakable to nearly everyone save for the Hulk.

Sinister Revelation - I'd like to introduce Sugar Man as a scientist named Johnathan Sweet working for Worthington Labs who had a secret agenda with Archangel's father. The secret? Warren's father had Sweet trying to clone him another son but without wings. After Warren exposes Sweet. Sugar Man loses his funding. After Warren discovers his father and Sweet's secret, it leads into the next arc...

Angel of Death - My version of Archangel will meet his nemesis, Sugar Man's greatest experiment, the Angel of Death [or just Death for short]. Blue skin, metal wings [cause originally he was cloned without them!], but with the look of the newer younger Angel's evil self... SEEN HERE.

Iron Man Team-Up - This will happen eventually again with @DrewVonAwesome as Warren owes Tony a favor now. What that turns into is anybody's guess...

Sample Post:

"If only my father had experienced flying he would've seen why I snuck out so much when I was younger. The wind in my face and flowing through my hair, the taste and smell of moisture in the clouds the higher I fly... it's all just amazing..." Warren thought as he flew in the clouds in the early morning hours of the day.

The sun was rising over the skyscrapers of New York City. Archangel finally saw his destination point in the Worthington Industries building about six blocks down from Williams Innovations. His muscles contracted, and his wings folded inwards as he touched down on the roof of the building. In a secret stash he found some clothes he'd put away for just this sort of thing. After dressing himself in more casual clothes he tossed on his overcoat. Most people assumed he wore one because he was rich and that's the sort of thing they wear over their expensive suits. Most people assumed Warren was just another one of those douchebags. Of course, he wore it to conceal his wings...

After a long and boring shareholder's meeting, Warren flipped through some monthly reports from their pharmaceutical division. A lab in New Jersey seemed to be spending quite a bit of money on materials and equipment. Nearly everything was signed by a Doctor Johnathan Sweet.

"I'm going to look into this a bit later, right now I need to get out and stretch my wings..." he thought.

Character Origin & Backstory:

Walter 'Walt' Newell is twenty-nine years old and the leading oceanographer in the United States. Recently he purchased a small island just off of the coast of Staten Island in NYC, and converted it into a 'Hydrobase' where he continued his studies on the Atlantic Ocean. Upon discovering clues to the location of New Atlantis, Walt was attacked by a blue skinned Atlantian! Hospitalized for several weeks, the ocean expert and amateur inventor designed the Stingray suit to help him defend himself and to continue his research unaffected by the pressures deeper in the ocean. Still investigating the clue of New Atlantis, Walt will soon come into contact with none other than Prince Namor.

The general media will believe Stingray to be a bodyguard with armor created by Walt to protect and defend Hydrobase. Walt doesn't think of himself as a superhero, he still sees himself as a scientist. Once he starts fighting in an out of the ocean it will be hard to tell him he's anything other than a hero.

Season 1 Summary:

N/A

Powers and Abilities (What can your character do? What can't they do?):

Walt doesn't possess any powers of his own. He's one of the world's leading oceanographers and an inventor having engineered and helped construct what's frequently called Hydrobase. After an attack from a warrior of New Atlantis Walt developed the Stingray suit to defend himself that grants him several powers and abilities. The suit gives him great strength capable of lifting twenty-five tons and durability to survive the pressures of the deepest parts of the ocean as well as a unique oxygen diffusion system Booster jets are built into his boots and back harness to provide propulsion to swim at greater speeds as well as fly/glide on land. The suit's main weapon is a potent bio-electric blast emitted from the palms of the hands. The suit also has an internal communications system.

Sample Story Arcs: Give 2-3 ideas on where you want to go with your character.

Atlantis Attacks : Prince Namor is sent to deal with Walt and attacks Hydrobase several times. Eventually the two will become friends and Namor defies the Atlantian King calling off the attacks.

Tiger Shark : Todd Arliss was once a rival oceanographer and shark specialist and the brother of Walt's girlfriend Diane. Arliss was told by the doctors he could no longer swim after he suffered a back injury, however Dr. Lemuel Dorcas promised Arliss he could help. Dorcas used his lab to imprint the genetic pattern of an animal onto a human. He'll use tiger sharks on Arliss, as well as the genetic pattern of the Atlantian warrior Stingray defeated transforming Todd into a super human with a hatred for Stingray.

The Inhuman : Triton has wandered too far out into the world oceans and is lost until discovering Hydrobase. After a brief battle with Stingray, Walt discovers Triton is just looking for home. The two of them survive an attack from Atlantis on order of it's new King [Attuma], Lockjaw shows up at Hydrobase to take the Inhuman home.

Sample Post:

"Several weeks ago I'm pretty sure I stumbled onto undersea artifacts connected to the lost city of Atlantis. It became even clearer when a blue skinned man with gills came out of the water in some strange armor and tried to kill me..." Walt thought to himself as he walked around his Hydrobase lab and research center just off the shore of Staten Island, "I was only in the hospital recovering from the attack for two weeks, it's a wonder those blue skinned people didn't completely wreck the base..." he continued walking outside and to his boat dock.

"Next time I'll be ready..." he thought, "Next time the Stingray will show those blue skinned Atlantians they're not the only ones with strength and power..." he continued thinking as he opened a storage compartment on his boat revealing his red and white suit.

"The thrusters and ceratotrichia-like fins should make darting through the water as easy as swimming. They still need to be tested on land though... what the hell... why not go ahead and get the final testing out of the way?" he thought before pulling the suit out of the compartment.

Walt stepped inside the 'Hydrobase' that he still hadn't come up with a suitable name for and stepped out looking like a red and white clad superhero. It was only the second time he had ever put on the suit having just finished it days earlier. Walt pushed a concealed button in the index finger of each glove and flexed his arms outward propelling his wing like appendages connecting to his legs. Thrusters ignited in his feet and the base of the ceratotrichia fins on his backpack like harness and he took to the sky. After several moments he pushed the tiny buttons again and the thrusters cut off leaving Stingray to glide in the air above the Atlantic Ocean. If only he had seen the blue skinned people of New Atlantis spying on him below...
