The world is changing. During WW2, scientists had managed to create a super-soldier formula, which they used to create Captain America. After the war, Captain America got frozen, and the super-serum was forgotten as the world began to focus on WW2's other super-weapon: The Atomic Bomb.
But now a new arms race has begun, and new chaos has emerged. Super-powered extra terrestrials like SuperMan and Thor have been discovered, and Captain America has been found and thawed. Many organizations, both good and bad, are working to recreate the super-serum, with varying results.
And so it is that the world enters a new age: The Age of Heroes.
This RP revolves around characters from the Marvel and DC universe, and other characters will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
We'll only allow cannons at this point in time, simply because there's so many of them and not enough time. Players will also be encouraged to take two characters (one hero and one villain) but it's not required. Also, keep in mind that our characters are just starting their careers. So, Batman might not necessarily have a batmobile, batsub, batwing, robin, nightwing, batgirl, batspace ship.

My Character:
-Name: Agent Phillip Coulson
-Quote: "You're gonna lose. It's in your nature."
-Age: 48
-Appearance:
-Abilities: A master of SCARS hand-to-hand combat, and a highly-trained marksman.
-Weapons: The ICER gun, a non-lethal pistol is his primary weapon. During higher-stake ops he can request bigger guns. His most powerful weapon is the Destroyer Cannon, a large BFG which fires bolts of plasma. However, that's only for emergencies.
-Equipment: Lola, a hover car convertible. He's rather protective of it.
-Regular Teammates: SHIELD in general. He's friends with Fury, Black Widow, and Hawkeye.
-Personality: He likes history, antiques, and Captain America. In fact, he owns a set of vintage Captain America trading cards. He has a cool-tempered, but likes to remain friendly. He is generally a cheerful person, and tries to keep a smile on his face. To some he seems like an annoying bureaucrat, which he sometimes likes use to his advantage. And besides, just because you're an alien from krypton, you still have to sign form section 3-Q.
-Bio: After leaving the military, he was contacted by SHIELD and offered a job. He gladly accepted. After a few years of training and doing odd jobs here and there, he rose up through the ranks and became a level 7 operative. Some people in SHIELD are considering giving him his own team sometime, but it's still in the air. He's recently been tasked with investigating odd occurrences in Gotham and New York.
-Name: Oroku Saki
-Codename: The Shredder
-Quote: "You are here because the outside world rejects you. THIS is your family. *I* am your father. I want you all to become full members of the Foot."
-Age: 40
-Appearance:
-Abilities/Skills: He's one of the world's greatest martial artists, if not the greatest. He has more black belts than George Lucas has had re-releases. He's fast, agile, stealthy, and lethal.
-Equipment: His RAH armor, an armor made partially of a cheaper, synthetic form of adamantium. It isn't nearly as strong as real adamantium, but it is bullet-proof enough to resist small-arms fire. Armor piercing rounds might be able to penetrate it. He also has access to a powerful mutagen, simply referred to as 'O.O.Z.", or just ooze, which can be used to create mutant super-soldiers. Finally, he has a grappling hook which allows him to cling on to things.
-Regular Allies: The Foot Clan, a clandestine terror cell. It's still growing in numbers, and is mostly recruiting from common street thugs, so their effectiveness in America...eh, varies. The Foot Clan is a registered branch of HYDRA, so they do have allies in that group.
-Weapons: Kunai knives, and two katars on his hands. Said katars are made out of the same metal as his armor, making them able cut through steel as if it were plastic.
-Personality: Certifiably sociopathic. Despite technically being a ninja, he acts more like a samurai. A very sadistic samurai with a perverse sense of 'honor'. The kind of 'honor' that might encourage people to strap bombs onto themselves or crash airplanes into things. He's capable of acting gentlemanly around others, though it generally comes across as Faux Affably Evil. He also isn't particularly fond of guns, so he tries too limit the Foot Clan's dependence on them, but like all things, he's willing to abandon him at a moment's notice.
-Bio: Because HYDRA is a continuation of Nazi Germany, they decided that, like Nazi Germany, they would be much better off with Japanese allies. There was a small society of pacifist monks called the Foot Clan, who had all the right skills, but were much to kind to be of any use. So, they hired someone in the group, Oroku Saki, to take it over and make some 'reformations'. A few assassinations later, he took charge of the clan and converted into an ally of HYDRA.
