[Sep]

Sorry @Facepunch and @Drewvonawesome beeen super busy. Post tomorrow morning

[Dedonus]

Updated Roster, just FYI.

[DrewVonAwesome]

Well I'm officially dropping Mr. Fantastic since its been seriously hard to write since I can't quite get a good grasp on writing Invisible Woman. I don't want to have to move the team around that either because it feels wrong. So I'm just going to drop that and PRAY someone comes along willing to help keep that foursome going.

In the meantime I got a replacement, should provide some fun hopefully.



Player Name: Drewvonawesome

Character You Wish To Play: Theodore “Teddy" Altman

Alias: Hulkling

Moral Alignment: Good

Affiliation: SHIELD, Young Avengers

Character Origin & Backstory: For as long as Teddy could remember, he had always lived and knew about SHIELD. He never really knew his father, his mother when pressed on the subject always told him he was a great man. However he was a great man who couldn't be there because of difficult circumstances. Still because of Teddy's mom working a high profile job in SHIELD's research department. Her work was mostly in otherworldly species, either ones discovered by astronomical projects or suspected to be living on Earth. Because of her work mostly involving working on the main helicarrier meant Teddy mostly spent his early years on the ship. He was well liked by personal, Dum Dum Dugan even lets Teddy refer to him as ‘Uncle Dum'. Teddy had a few friends on the ship his age, but considering the dangers associated with living on the helicarrier not many on board were willing to let their kids live there. Thus Teddy's friends growing up were few and far between.

As Teddy grew up he knew he wanted to be a part of SHIELD himself and actually serve himself. His mom was encouraging about it, but those who knew her knew how worried she was about the possibility. Not just because of the dangers, but she admitted she was worried ‘certain people' were out there looking for him. Though she kept all that from Teddy, not at all sure how to talk to him about it. Teddy though had his own doubts about making it in SHIELD. He was to put it lightly, fairly skinny and not well built as he went through puberty. That all changed when one night he went to bed a normal, scrawny kid. Waking up to be a green muscular monster.

Though freaked out at first, Teddy quickly realized that these powers of his, where ever they came from. Made him more than capable of excelling in SHIELD. He got through all the training and became an agent in record time. All the while his mother was concerned, but outwardly very encouraging for him. Teddy's abilities and his personality have given him duel roles when sent out on assignments. His powers allow him to handle high end missions even given his inexperience. His warm personality and ability to shapeshift into a normal person giving him peacekeeping assignments. Its busy work, but Teddy takes it all in stride, very much happy being a SHIELD agent.

That same personality has made him a hit with a lot of people in SHIELD. His approachable, a bit on the goofy side, and very much a nerd with an affinity for superheroes either real or in comic book.

Season 1 Summary: Mostly was out handling odds and ends for SHIELD, also him and his mom took a trip to Disneyworld. It was awesome!

Powers and Abilities: Teddy's main ability comes from being able to shapeshift. While he has his ‘normal' appearance, with his blond hair, and fit 6'2 frame. Teddy typically transforms into a 6‘8 green half human, half alien looking form. With scales on his shoulders, clawed hands, and dragon like wings that sprout out of his back. Outside of that though Teddy can change into other people, but he cannot replicate their powers if they have any. His powers can also protect him at a subconscious level from any vital organs getting shot or pierced, and heal faster than normal. On top of that, Teddy has superhuman strength. His current limits being a vertical press of around 10 tons.

Sample Story Arcs: When the Young Avengers program begins naturally Hulkling is among the first considered for it. Which he happily accepts, seeing how he can become a full pledge superhero by doing so.

Comfortably open in his homosexuality, Teddy in his works ends up meeting a mysterious magical using young man. Despite said young man's annoying speedster twin brother, the sparks fly between the two.

Finally learning the truth about his powers, and his family's history. Starts a dangerous and very hostile situation for all those around Teddy.

Hmm, if Drew's dropping Mr. Fantastic I may soon drop Human Torch.

Also, I'll get back to posting soon, sorry for my absence.

@DrewVonAwesome while he isn't legacy my question is how he obtains the name. Is it unrelated to Hulk or related?

@Sep

Was thinking the same thing actually, especially since Hulk only really emerged like 2 months ago? Could be a fairly recent nickname? Have Ms. America call him it or something due to the similarities in appearance during our encounter if it goes ahead?

[Sep]

I had to prepare for the next batch of kids. @Facepunch I give you puppet rights if you really plan to move ahead but I have most the post ready for my night off.

[DrewVonAwesome]

Uh we can go with America naming him that but answer the question there is no relation to Bruce here. Don't worry Bruce you did not conceive alien babies.

[Dedonus]

I'll wait to see what is @sep's response and then I'll accept Hulking.

[Omega Man]

Hulkling has never been tied to the Hulk, does he count as a legacy character? In the comics wasn't he another off-shoot clone/child using Mar-vell DNA as well as a Skrull's in his veins?

@The Kid Lantern

I think the issue is the origin of the name "Hulkling". While you are correct that he is not literally related to the Hulk, according to Marvel Wikia, Hulkling picked that name because he had a slight resemblance to the Hulk. Nevertheless, I am not expert on Hulkling.

@Dedonus

I mean, what's in a name? Black Tarantula and Devil Spider are separate characters like Hulkling, things shouldn't have to be kosher with the guy playing Spiderman [I know that's you but you get what I'm saying]. And the way Marvel plays the 'assume a new alias' game with it's characters, some people seem to have as many multiple personalities as Hank Pym [just look at Monica Rambeau: Capt. Marvel, Photon, Pulsar, Spectrum, now post Civil War II she may be the new War Machine...]. Different powers, different origin, different affiliations, etc. It's like comparing Marvel Girl [Jean Grey] to the New Warriors' Marvel Boy [Justice/Vance Astrovik]. They even have telekinesis in common, but other than having a similar codename they're COMPLETELY unrelated. And nobody would bat an eyelash if either one of them claimed "I picked the name cause I'm a fan of Ms. Marvel..."

@Sep

Like Sep says Hulkling is not a legacy character at all. The name just came from them at first trying to pose as Avengers so he was suppose to be Hulk since he could be big and green and all. Heck they even addressed this in comic book form...




(As an aside, I would love to do something like this scene with Teddy and Bruce. Teddy being super nervous knowing Bruce, and Bruce is just playfully toying with him about it "Oh well that makes me slightly upset..." "Nonononono I didn't mean it like that Bru... Mr. Banner!")

That said I don't buy Hulkling being a legacy character at all, She-Hulk is a legacy character, Red Hulk and Red She Hulk are legacy characters. Hulkling is just a guy who called himself Hulkling at first so he could be sort of like Hulk. Heck don't forget Wiccan was named Asgardian at the start. Having changed it to Wiccan because you know... people would find out his gay and... Asgardian becauses a wonderful pun.

[Omega Man]

I like that Hulkling has the one piece sleeveless speed suit. I always wanted some form of smart Hulk to dress similar but he always wears lab coats or regular tanktops with khakis...



~KL~

[DrewVonAwesome]

Well Hulkling is wearing something like this canonically right now...



A black sleeveless suit with the purple striping. I think its much better than the original stuff he had on.

Also another instance of Hulkling not being legacy from the man himself...

[Sep]

@Dedonus I'm fine with it especially if the name comes from Ms.America and not directly from Hulk.

@DrewVonAwesome: Hulkling is accepted.

[Natty]

As you may be able to tell from my post, I'm a bit hungry
