Have just caught up on the first page, and I want to congratulate everyone on their incredible work so far! It has been a real treat to read, in every corner of the game. I love seeing all the little details and the thought and care that each and every one of you apply to your characters, from Hound's brilliant use of Peter's tech savvy mind to the way MMG can lean on Hal's aviation experience. Great stuff all around, I'm excited to read the next page.

As well, I've worked on some post summaries for the first page in case anyone needs a refresher now or in the future. I imagine these might be added to the OP at some point, but here they are for convenience.

The power of science is amazing!

[b]The Lanterns #1[/b]: Do Green Lanterns dream of electric cheeks? Hal Jordan does, and he scarcely manages to survive a high flying fighter jet test run and a near collision with a UFO. He finds himself chosen as the next bearer of the Green Lantern ring, and the new fate-chosen best friend of an angry looking red guy.

[b]Wolverine #1[/b]: In which a group of professional killers think they can get the drop on the Wolverine, their first mistake. Their second is that they want him [i]alive[/i], a courtesy Logan won’t extend to them.

But Logan [i]does[/i] manage to figure out that the men were actually targeting the resident of a mysterious lighted cabin, just up the hill…

[b]Hawksmoor #1[/b]: In which Jack Hawksmoor is in tune with the trills and timings of Tokyo, and comes upon gunmen engaging local police. The city yearns for their defeat, and as he tries to satisfy it, a katana wielding woman cuts one of the gunmen’s hands off.

It’s like old Bobby DeNiro says: always pay.

[b]The Punisher #2[/b]: In which Frank Castle meets with his best friend David Lieberman and downloads details on Billy The Beaut from the NYPD database. Billy was a real cut up, and liked to prove it by carving puzzle pieces out of his victim’s faces. Frank leaves Liberman’s place to have a shootout in the Stardust Lounge. As good as Frank is with his handguns, Russo can more than keep up. Before long they’ve shot the weapons out of each other's hands and grappled across the floor of the bar.

[b]Thor #2[/b]: In which the Thunderer mourns the loss of his Godhood. Voices and shadowed figures assail his mind from the frozen woods, and soon he’s attacked by a powerful beast with claws sharp enough to rend a god’s flesh. Before it can devour Thor, Keith Kincaid blasts it with his shotgun and finds, to his horror, the monster bears Wilford’s face. Before his old friend can claw Keith apart, Thor returns his favor and heaves the monster through the trunk of a mighty tree, and slays it with his bare hands.

[b]The Question #4[/b]: In which Vic reunites with Tot, and his old friend gets Vic up to speed on Mayor Fermin’s activities in the Hub and sets him up with his old coat and pseudoderm for his mask, plus a new grappling gun. One of Vic’s old contacts gives him a lead on a heroin operation run by a gang known as the Gospel of Sinners, led by a mysterious Reverend. Knocking a few heads together and asking a few wise Questions gets Vic the name and address of one of the Rev’s top enforcers.

[b]Wolverine #2[/b]: In which Logan approaches the cabin and steps inside to face its occupant, only to find it empty… Until a shadow leaps [i]through[/i] a wall and he pounces at it. But the shadow wasn’t another killer, but an ordinary teenage girl. As ordinary as mutant like Logan can be, anyway. After a brief knife to knife-hand stand off, the pair have a heart to heart… and against his better judgment, Logan finds himself agreeing to take the girl, Kitty Pryde, cross country to New York City.

Also, I'm workin' on the [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hQLKdVpvJcVopU5Z8GnjIAden0v5imUZnM4C1vzVcAc/edit?gid=0#gid=0]character database[/url] I've heard some of you asking for. Let me know if I've gotten any of this stuff wrong, from the summaries to the character entries and I'd be happy to change it for you. Also, I'd love to hear from you if you want me to change the "clear for reuse" section on whether you'd like others to be able to reuse some of these characters in some capacity. And do note that so far the database is based on my progress in the IC, so I haven't filled in all characters mentioned in sheets and further along in the thread.

Thanks for a great page one, team. And, holy cannoli, we're already at page three! Here's to many more.
