The day that the world lost Superman will be remembered. Two weeks ago, the year 2020 took another turn for the worst when an alien monster called Doomsday fell to Earth. In a rampage across the east coast the behemoth crippled the Justice League and in a final act of heroism Superman gave his life defeating the creature. For days it seemed like everyone wore an armband commemorating the life of Superman, but when the Justice League failed to stop a techno-virus that enslaved half of Coast City… crime rates across the globe increased. That’s when the “Supermen of America” trend started. To honor Superman and his legacy other heroes adopted his symbol. New heroes emerged and crime was back on the decline once again thanks to Superman and his memory.



Black Lightning recently relocated to Metropolis and has helped other surviving League members [the Flash and Green Arrow] repurpose Metro Tower into Outreach: 1 for the Supermen helping to defend the Man of Steel’s former city. Beast Boy, now in his early 20’s, reopened Titans Tower in Jump City for many young heroes as a sort of Outreach:2. Will it be enough? Can the world go on without the Man of Steel?







Current DCU Landscape:


* Superman’s enemies are still coming out of the woodwork in Metropolis and ‘Lightning and the Supermen will have their hands full. Notable enemies include: Livewire, Parasite, Metallo, Intergang, Cadmus Labs, Riot, Felix Faust, Silver Banshee, Bloodsport, and two others that will remain under wraps for now. One rhymes with Pex Puthor and the other is almost an identical twin of Marvel’s Cable LOL

* Batman is suffering a broken back, and Bane has taken up his own Bat-cowl and taken control of the Gotham underworld. A group of heroes would be ideal in taking him down, but most are scared of Gotham. The streets are patrolled by venom-jacked thugs in Robin colors.

* Hank Henshaw [formerly Cyborg Superman] has enslaved half the population of Coast City CA after corrupting and assimilating the technology of Cyborg [Victor Stone] and Green Lantern. Rumors suggest a portion of STAR Labs has several dozen survivors within what the news outlets have dubbed ‘Machine City’.

* Beast Boy is in a mentor type of role similar to Black Lightning. Cinderblock, Billy Numerous, Jinx, Brother & Sister Blood, Klarion, and other villains are operating in or around Jump City.

* This universe will take bits and pieces from various places including the CW shows, the DC films, the Young Justice animated series, Superman and Batman comics, as well as the DC animated films.



Pre-Approved Players/Characters:


Omega Man - Longshadow
Crimson Flame - Supergirl
Creedmoor - Manhunter
Martian - Arsenal
King Kindred - Superboy
NeverEnding - Black Orchid
baraquiel - Zatara
Dusty - Nightwing

If anyone else is interested in playing check out the interest check thread for additional details and Character Sheet requirements. Let us know here first! This will be my first RP in quite some time and the only thing I’m giving attention to. A new RP with a few familiar faces would make 2020 suck a good deal less.

GM Notes 10/24/20 - IC has been POSTED. Let's get it Supermen!

Posted Kieran Kent. I know it said Brief Bio, but most of that was in his original bio so I just edited it to fit this story. And I wanted to give more insight on his journey since he's an original character.

It's cool that Superboy fleshed out the Titans. I left Roy's involvement with the team vague so other players could work in the team to their backstories. But I like interconnected backstories, it helps in making role play opportunities pop up easier.

@King Kindred Some of your character's bio may need to be altered as somebody has shown interest in Dick Grayson.

Best thing to do is relax. Don’t stress over if your Kara sounds like comic Kara (or whichever medium you’re most familiar with). You’ll do great and make her your own best version of Kara.

Now I'm curious.

Also, is anyone planning to do anything with the Teen Titans? If so I have a Rose Wilson character who's trying to seek her own redemption.

Still working on Nightwing and Orchid. I'll break down why I went the way I did with Manhunter and Superboy once I've finished the last two for the whole group shot.

Well, considering B. Orchid’s M.O., not seeing her is kind of legit. Haha.

I mentioned going into why Superboy and Manhunter look the way they do, so I'm gonna go into it LOL

Superboy was originally a blue suit I'd made for Val Zod [Superman of Earth 2], with a hood I added because for a time in the comics he wore one often in his civilian clothes. I colored it the way I did because it's equal parts Superboy from Young Justice Season One [his all white solar suit] and New52 Superboy. I love putting white into Super-people suits. However I thought it was lacking with a simple red S on white like in the cartoon, so I made the pieces inside the S black like the New52 suit and it tied the design together much better.

Manhunter was a bit harder because it was a lot of detail thrown into essentially a bulky bodysuit. After reworking the bodysuit from an older design, it didn't start coming together until I made the shoulders the way they were. Sorta like metal trim used in tons of 90's era comic designs. Then I remembered the last Manhunter in the comics, Kate Spencer, had similar details on her shoulders depending on the artist. I'd planned on adding knives and such across the suit but the more I added the bulkier and messier the whole micro looked. So in the end it wound up looking more like Daredevil than Punisher.

Hope everybody likes them! If anybody wants I can make avatars like the one I'm using [bout to change it to Longshadow though LOL]. IC will be posted sometime early tomorrow, probably around lunch time.
