So, I have recently seen "Suicide Squad" and I have been replaying "Marvel Ultimate Alliance" (parts one and two) and so I want to try a superhero RP. I want to set it in the Marvel universe (not the film version, so yes X-Men and Avengers will be in the same world), centered around a group of new heroes. I'll add a small bit about the plot below.

The story is that the earth's heroes are either dead or retired. But not to worry, as most of the villains are the same way as well. But now a new threat is rising, and S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to make new heroes based off the old ones. You will play as these new heroes, and the team will have to learn to work together as they get ready for this powerful threat, as the only clue they have is "Planet Eater".

So here is how the game shall work:
* I'm hoping to start with a small group, and then add more later on. If I can get three or more people interested, then I'll get it started.
* 18+, this is a marvel story, but it'll be kinda dark, like "Jessica Jones" and such. As always stick with the rules of the site.
* I ask that your post be atleast a paragraph or so. It can be longer, so don't worry about that.
* You will play as a character taking up the mantle of an old hero. Pretty much, you make the character, background and such, but you will use the name of a hero. Ex. Name: Sam Anderson/ Hero Name: Iron Man
* Last, and not least, you can play as a new version of a villain. You will still be on the team, but if you want to be the new "Green Goblin" or "Red Skull" that is fine.

So that's it. You can pick nearly any hero/villain you want from Marvel, as long as they are not overpowered. I will get the final say over who can play who, but I'll wait until I get an idea of who everyone wants to be before I make my character.

Also, you will have the powers of who you pick, and their weaknesses. If you play as "Venom" or another symbiont, you get their powers, but shall be weak to fire and super sonic sounds, as well as their other weaknesses.

Anyway, this is my idea. I hope to get it started soon. Thanks for reading this and hopefully showing interest.

This looks pretty interesting.
Kind of reminds me of wacthman's night owl.

Also, when our characters take up a heroes mantle do we gain their abilities or would be making our own?

You will gain their abilities. The person in charge of running the team will have you do something similar to what the original heroes did to gain their powers.

So if you play Cap, you will get a super solider serum. Spidey will get bitten by a radioactive spider, and so on.

Interested!

So you're saying we have to have the same/similar origin as our character's namesake?
Using your example above, our new Spider-Man has to be bitten by a spider. Could he instead be a mutant with Spidey's same powers?

I would be ok with that. I mostly just want y'all to use the same name and somewhat same abilities as the old hero. The boss of the team wants citizens to see and trust the team, like the old heroes. It'll be harder to gain trust if you are taking up the mantle of a villain.

If this were to take off I'm thinking of possibly going with the Scarlet Spider name.

Then, I could either go with:
1) a female clone of Peter Parker (like the Ultimate version of Jessica Drew)
2) a mutant with Spidey's abilities
3) a person whom gets their hands on the Iron Spider costume.

Well with three of us, I may start it and maybe people will join later on. I like your idea and it goes really well with an idea for my character.

Personally, I like either 1 or 2. Also, when I make character sheets, for this kind of RP I like using real pictures for your character, and then maybe a picture of the hero you are based off so we can get an idea of what your costume looks like, unless you have found a picture of what your costume looks like, if that makes sense. Is that ok with y'all?
