I'll hop in on this competition once the time comes.
So that way when I win, you can all hound me about how little I post and ask what is even keeping me here. Then I can respond with: "that's The Question."


Dammit, you win.

For real, though, I've wanted for ages to do a version of the Question that's basically like a mix of V for Vendetta and Mr. Robot. I just haven't been able to come up with an actual plot for that. And also I usually pick Superman first. And also I get lazy and don't stick to any concept long.

Same reason I've never been able to do the Heavy-Metal-Magazine version of Ghost Rider that's been kicking around in my head for like two years.

I've applied for less teenage characters in these comic games than I have adult.

Yeah. We all get those ideas that are pretty much just posters or movie trailers in our heads. Cool and flashy, but we can't do shit beyond the flash.

(Also, Spectacular Spider-Man is so much better than the character models made me assume it would be)

As much as I will proselytize from the rooftops that SSM is and always will be my favorite incarnation of the web-head, yeah, there's maybe two actual character models on the show that I like. They usually look a lot better in motion, admittedly.

Yeah, gamemasters' word is law. For what it's worth, if second characters aren't allowed, it is likely that I'll switch things up every couple seasons or so. As @Inkarnate said, this is our big sandbox, and I plan to explore a fair bit of it. I promise not to kill/cripple my characters so as to keep them from being picked up by anyone else (unless the story demands it, obvi).

In regards to the topic of whether or not a second character should be allowed, I'd make the argument that decision should be made on a case by case basis. Someone who's shown to be quite active with their current character and rarely (if ever) approaches the bi-weekly posting deadline would be more eligible for a second PC than someone who's put out four posts over the course of a month. While it might seem a bit unfair to the latter individual, they should have the self-awareness to know that they won't be able to meet the expected post quota more often than not.

Just my cent and a half, anyway.

That means I have to "fix" Wolverine, right? I have plans for a couple different characters in future seasons, but I thought it'd be nice if my Wolverine run planted a couple seeds that could hatch for my next PCs.

Which ones? I also am not a fan of the Shocker/Montana amalgamation, necessarily. Venom's voice is annoying. I don't understand why Kraven needed to look more animalistic as opposed to just getting the "powers" he was after. Otherwise, it really is Spectacular.

PS: I think if I ever had a big Spider-Man run, I'd make Norman Osborn a more direct ally to Peter.

Also I would like to say that now I'm considering Jimmy Woo over the Question so I can do some spy shit (it's not because I have an obsession with playing Asian characters now, I swear!), so I guess I got a big decision to make come season two.

fuck now I know how everyone else feels with jumping between character concepts

By that measure I don't think there would be very many people that qualified for multiple characters at all. And, funnily enough, so far it seems like some of the most active IC posters (both in this game and in others) are opposed to the idea.

I'd hate for it to lead to people churning out sub-standard content so as to make a claim for being "worthy" of playing more than one character, too. Not that I think anyone would be as low as to resort to that, but because we should definitely be incentivising quality over quantity whenever we can.

Pretty much just nerd-Gwen and Doc Ock (especially the episode where he has the Dracula cape). I also used to really like Freddy Kreuger Vulture, but that was before Michael Keaton gave us a vastly superior version. I didn't really care for Montana being Shocker, but I liked his suit. Most of the others were either tolerable or unremarkable. Except for Electro, I didn't like their Electro at all (come to think of it, though, I can't think of a look for Electro that I do like).

EDIT: While I'm thinking about it, I really didn't like the character design for Mary Jane either. In terms of characterization and dialogue, I loved it, but for a character that's supposed to be A) smoking hot, and B) too cool to care about high school social hierarchies, her design was really plain. She looked like a background character.
