Who do you think are the coolest and most memorable super heroes? Well kids really think Wolverine is cool. What about Captain America? He makes flag sales skyrocket. Does help he’s also easy on the eyes. What about Storm? She can call the weather. Iron Man is one who outed himself out, is rich and popular. The Avengers seem to be a collection of simply good looking people, with profitable, marketable powers.

And that’s exactly what they are. You, what thought the heroes you all loved and cherished were chosen because they were somehow special and unique? Well you have been force fed that lie in the media. You have been brainwashed to think so. The real reason Fury chose the Avengers or the real reason Xavier chose the people they did for the X-men was simple money.

To sell you toys. To sell you a false sense of security. To market the Mutants and Superheroes as something ordinary and fashionable. And if I sound bitter it’s because I am. Who am I? Well I just happen to be the leader of the team you don’t hear too often about, but we get to strange adventures as well. Our own little journeys. Who’s my team you ask? Well we’re unofficially called Rogue X, more officially the Avengers and X-men all call use Marvel’s Underdogs.



Welcome to Marvel Underdogs. The concept of this RP is fairly straightforward and simple. This RP will not be about the sexy, attractive, superheroes we all come to love and know. No this RP will be about a team, Rogue X. Made up of powers that cannot be marketed by Fury, the Daily Bugle, or X-Men as cool.

While you could have cool powers, these powers are too messy, too loud, too outside the realm of understanding for anyone to comprehend why they are cool. They’re the powers that make you go “that’s cool, but I don’t understand near as much as a guy who shoots webs from his hands or the guy who forms steel claws”

The RP will be both a half n half RP. Half slice of life sections as Rogue X is rarely called in unless the other guys are doing something even more important. And Half heroic shenanigans. You’ll go on adventures, we’ll have free form arcs.

But I do not want any super heroes that are in someway connected to the most marketed super heroes. I will accept Canon characters who do not get enough screen time or had one issue where they showed up. And original characters.

I'm here, you can't see me though, I'm lurking

I see you. :P

You know I don't play this game

If I were to use a pre-existing character, how mainstream would be ideal?

I'm asking because you've got characters like the Punisher who I think work for your setting but are generally well known.

Punisher wouldn't be accepted because of that very reason. Very well known. I am talking if you want to use original character go Bom Bom, Swamp Thing, the Chk'n Kao.

Boom Boom. :p

the Chk'n Kao

I had not heard of that character but a quick google search gives me a giant anthropomorphic chicken. That can't be right?

Anyways, now I know what kind of thing you're looking for give me a bit of time and I'll come up with a character.

@AngelofOctober

It's kinda like more hardcore powers then? Like ones that specifically kill people as that is the only thing that differs most of the mainstream guys since their supposed to be the Lawful good guys? While I know Iron Man can level a city with weapons, he still doesn't or such that spider man can snap peoples backs(like he did with his ex lmao) with his web using the proper method he also doesn't use it that way.

So when you said, powers are too messy, too loud, too outside the realm of understanding for anyone to comprehend why they are cool. IS that only in operation or the specific use of those powers. I assume the latter since I'm getting a Anti-hero vibe. I wanted to make a symbiote like character, but is they obvoiusly will need to be loosely tied to Venom and Carnage.

The Chk'n Kau is amazing!

I've got to sleep (It's 2:30am where I am) but I'll be back in the morning.

Messy - using your blood, using paint, using glitter

Loud - super sonic powers, heck even Hulks scream is a perfect example of loud

Realm of understanding - for example Vector powers. Nobody seems to understand how Vector manipulation works, despite the fact that to me its very clear how it works and has clear limitations.

They aren't anti-heroes. Just the methods of their powers are unusual. I mean looking at the marketing of Wolverine or any of the mainstream heroes

Wolverine - Steel Claws [I know Adamantium, but they are still steel], super strength, and can regenerate wounds. [not very hard to understand]

Cyclops - shoots lasers from his eyes

Spiderman - has spider abilities

They are easy to digest. Easy to understand.

Now the Superhero who has the power to "cut enemies with a glittery dust storm that is as hard as diamonds" that's a little bizarre and out there and not so easy to understand.

The point was they are the outcast of the outcast. Like you think Wolverine's a mutant, wait till you get a load of these freaks.

Rules and Expectations;

Let me lay down a little bit of what I expect. While we are in the causal RP section, I apply a much looser interpretation of what Casual RP means. But I know it doesn’t mean turning out a sheet that is half assed and lacks detail. Medium depth imo, doesn’t mean barely there depth, it means Medium depth. It means showing some kind of intermediate understanding of the material you join.

I do not have crazy expectations for CS. But I do expect effort and some creativity here. Elsewise I am pretty lenient on things.

If you can provide a sheet that is interesting, creative, and written like you want to be part of this RP down below is the CS. If you believe that casual means you should be able to get away with low quality, and trust me small sheets can be quality, then do not bother moving forward to my template.

I expect maturity and respect. And I expect the understanding that I am the GM. I encourage you to give me all of your ideas. Because I think it is important that a GM listen to their members as they may provide interesting insights or interesting ideas. But also learn to take a No the first time.
