All-Star Marvel
Welcome true believers; welcome to All-Star Marvel, an intoxicating land where creativity for creativity's sake can take priority and enable you to render stories and events you could only have dreamed of in all of your previous mundanity. We welcome you to a unique narrative opportunity to take any Marvel character character and re-imagine them in a way that makes them pleasurable for you to write unique and original stories with. In this universe no events in the main Marvel comics continuity are considered canon. It is entirely contained within the forum and within your imagination. Am I over-egging it? Perhaps. It's still pretty cool to see.
Whether you're one for emotional drama or a sucker for physical trauma, the vast range of characters available could fit any genre or any purpose you could reasonably imagine. Is your interest piqued by a fresh interpretation of Bruce Banner that you really wanna try out? Own it. Love Thor but hate that darned old hammer? Sling it. Think that The Whizzer is in need of a drastic revival? That's good too. No-one is off limits here. Not even Doop. As long as they have appeared in a canonical Marvel tale on either the page or the screen they're free for refurbishment. Here, the MARVEL UNIVERSE is yours to mold.
Season 2 is a fantastic opportunity for both newcomers and battle-harden veterans to jump on board the All-Star Marvel express! With the old story lines from Season 1 have all but been wrapped up, Season 2 will allow players to enter the action without worrying too much about "current events" and such. Although there are several already established characters, the Marvel Universe is a vast place, inhabited by countless numbers of heroes and villains. Just ask whether someone has been taken and we can let you know who is still available!
Your character must have appeared somewhere in one of the many media that Marvel distributes (comics, films, television, video games, etc.). Therefore, you may not use characters owned by other comic companies (like Batman) or original characters. However, you are free to take liberties in the creation of your character.
