I can remember the moment my life changed forever...
It happened about a week after my 19th birthday. My father was doing a TED talks on the narrow minded pessimism of how people were seeing the future. That he saw the old clinging to past mindsets while the young were left fighting for scraps of knowledge in poorly funded schools. I remember sitting behind the curtain, looking over and in that darkened room of seated audience I couldn’t tell if my dad was getting through to them.
Me? I heard the message loud and clear.
My name is Franklin Richards. My father is Reed Richards, professor at Empire State University, quite possibly one of the smartest men on the planet. He met my mom while they were both attending school. My mom Karen becoming an actress on Boardway. The world we all live in is on the verge of some kind of breakdown or revolution. The X-gene has become a new breakthrough leading to fear and speculation. I should know, my X-gene kicked in years ago leaving me some kind of human rubber band. My parents know and are fine with it. My dad’s even been using a sample of my blood to better understand the genetic makeup.
Still, that night I was completely inspired. I was leaving for college soon, my parents had a trust fund for me that was more than able to pay it off. Problem was I didn’t want to go, yeah I mean I’m pretty smart sure. I just don’t want to go do the same thing everyone else did. I want to do something that’ll revolutionize the world now. I took the money, and started doing research.
I was shocked at the amount of the young, really smart people out there who had powers or the means to create powers like me. Soon after a couple trips all over the world I have the plans in place. In a pretty sweet place at the top of the Baxter Building in New York City. The groundwork for the future is in place. Its about protecting the present, while seeing the future ahead.
Welcome, to The Future Foundation.
The current ranks of The Future Foundation:
Franklin Richards - Mr. Fantastic
[img](Character's face here, comic or real) “Quote from the character”
Full name: Codename: Age: (between 16 and 25) Home: Area of expertise: (What scientific fields they’re most prolific at) Superpowers: Appearance: (More detailed description of the character's looks. What they wear, height and weight, etc) Costume: (Hopefully it follows the color scheme of the Future Foundation in the comics, black and white. If not I won't fault you for it but this is a team...) Personality: Brief Bio:
Superhuman Strength - Peter Parker was given super strength from the bite of the radioactive spider. He can punch, kick, and throw harder than the normal human. He has to literally limit himself when it comes to his strength, because if he uses all his strength when punching someone, he will kill them. It has also been proven that he can lift 10 tons, so he could lift a car if he tried.
Spider Sense - Peter can sense danger when it is coming to him or someone near him. For example, if he is in a bank, he could sense that a bank robbery may be soon coming. It helps dodge punches, kicks, or even gunshots. It is basically a sixth sense, and gives off an tingling sensation to tell him when he is about to be attacked or not. A very helpful ability.
Enhanced Agility - Peter can make great athletes run for their money. He is amazingly very flexible, he can do the basic backflip, frontflip, etc. But he could literally make up his own moves. This can help with him getting out of the way of danger. Not to mention, he can jump rather high.
Wall Crawler - When bit by the radioactive spider, his DNA started to change. And he was given tiny little sticky hairs in his hands that no one could see without a magnifying glass. This gave him the ability to climb up walls without using climbing gear. Peter could even run up a wall, but he rather would crawl up on, considering he has more of a chance of gravity pulling him off the building if he decides to run up one.
Web Shooters - This may not be an superpower, but Peter developed web shooters. These things can shoot webs, obviously, and he uses them to swing from buildings by shooting them onto buildings and pulling himself. Not to mention he can also use them to apprehend criminals, by cacooning them or webbing them to a wall. This web fluid is liquid for a second when it shoots out, but it hardens on contact, and it becomes really durable. And they dissolve after one hour, so it would take some time to get it off. Peter has also developed different types of webs. One is an electric web, that is non lethal and acts like a taser. The other is also a non lethal acid web. The only nuisance about his web shooters, is that he has to reload them with web cartridges.
Appearance:
Peter Parker has brown hair, and hazel eyes. His height is 5'10 (1.78 m) and his weight is 167 lbs (76 kg.). He is somewhat short for a person his age. But he has a nice body build of what a flexible person would look like. He has a few scars of where he has gotten into fights, but they healed very well.
Costume:
Using technology to be able to cloak his suit design into anything he felt like, this is the default design for the suit. It is the normal Future Foundation color scheme, just with a little more of a Spider-Man theme to it. He, however, does not really use this suit a lot because he prefers his classic red and blue Spider-Man suit.
This is the second version of the design of his Future Foundation suit. He prefers to use this one more than the other, and usually cloaks into it more than the Future Foundation default suit. It is the normal red and blue suit, the one he prefers.
Brief Bio:
(This is not really brief, but you already know most of Peter's origins.) When Peter Parker was little, he wouldn't be playing around in the sand. He would be analyzing it. He was the basic nerd around school. Not to mention he was relentlessly bullied because of this. He had never knew his parents, all he knew is that they were Richard and Mary Parker. And that Benjamin Parker, Richard's brother, and May Parker had adopted Peter when his parents had went missing.
Peter referred to Benjamin as Uncle Ben, and May as Aunt May. They were practically so close to him, that they could be considered his actual parents more than his uncle and aunt-by-marriage. He always felt they had kept something from him, something important about his real parents. They never talked about his real parents much.
At high school, even though Peter was bullied a lot. Especially by Flash Thompson, ever since 6th Grade as well. He had friends, a good group of friends. They were Eddie Brock Jr., Mary-Jane Watson, Harry Osborn, and Cindy Moon. They were his only friends, but they were possibly one of the best friends in the world. His life was pretty normal. At least, until one day.
On a field trip to Oscorp. Peter was amazed by the technology, and went around places he shouldn't have. When Harry told him that a test subject spider that was red and blue in a certain room, and that he should not go in it. Peter just couldn't help himself, at all. He sneaked into the room, and stared at the Spider in amazement. What was its purpose? Why did exist? When he tapped the glass box where the spider was in, he had knocked it down by accident. He freaked out, and left the room hoping that he wasn't caught on the camera and that Harry wouldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, when he caught up to the rest of the group. Peter had felt a bite on his arm, he instinctively had hit the red and blue spider off. It plummeted to its death after falling from his arm. Suddenly, his head started hurting and his vision had gotten blurry. He then fell unconscious. He was instantly brought to a hospital, and when being questioned by his friends why his lights went out. He lied, and said he didn't know why.
It didn't take long for Harry to find out the spider was missing. And when he had checked the security tapes at his home, he was furious to learn his friend didn't listen to him. That the spider has gone missing. He didn't talk to Peter for a long time, and Peter knew why. This was the point where their friendship was lost.
Peter had realized that he didn't need his glasses anymore, and that he suddenly had abs. It didn't take any longer for him to realize that he could stick his hands and feet on walls. Not to mention the fact that he realized he could dodge Flash's punches, and pushes. Which gave Peter the satisfaction to humiliate Flash Thompson a numerous amount of times.
He realized, he could use these abilities to earn money. He made himself a costume; a red hoodie with a spider logo, a red mask, gloves, his web shooters, jeans, and some red shoes. He called himself, the Spider-Man. He became a fighter, and he always won the fights. He was a big celebrity now, but he didn't want anyone to know his real identity. One day after coming from a wrestling match that he had won, a man was chasing a robber but ended up loosing him. The man had asked Spider-Man to help him, but Spidey ignored him and said it wasn't his problem.
Until it was..
A loud gunshot was heard behind the corner, and around that corner was the apartment where May and Ben lived. Peter ran to where the sound came from, and saw Uncle Ben lying in a pool of blood. Peter yelled for help, but no one would come. In the distance he could see the man who shot him running, the irony is that the robber was the same one who robbed the man who Peter ignored.
This was when Peter realized, he must use his powers for good. And let no one have the same fate as him. He created a better costume, that was red and blue with a webbing pattern. It had a spider logo on the chest of the suit. And a four-legged big red spider on the back. He was done being a celebrity, now it was time to become a hero. He became the Spider-Man.
Well we're not going to do any Venom/Anti-Venom stuff for now so removing that detail pending his accepted.
Also one other detail I forgot to mention. I have Susan as Franklin's mom in the intro thing there, but if someone did want to bring Susan or Johnny Storm into this I'm more than happy to edit things around to accommodate that. After all Susan at least in Ultimate Fantastic Four was shown to be very smart herself, and Johnny is seriously good at automotive engineering... and needs a close eye on him... constantly.
Edit: Actually I'm just going to go ahead and edit that detail anyways, so Susan and Johnny Storm are totally available.
@DrewVonAwesome I kinda want to make the image where the face should be shown be a poster of Spider-Man, and place a pic of Peter without the mask in the costumes. It irritates me that I have to show his face above his name for some reason, I guess because I usually place the face under the appearance or costume section with canon superhero characters.
“Sweet Christmas” Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin' Ta Fuck Wit - Wu-Tang Clan Full name: Lucas 'Luke' Cage - Originally born Carl Lucas Codename: Formerly Power Man Age: 24 Home: New York City - Harlem Area of expertise: Civil engineering, vehicle engineering Superpowers: Cage's main power is of course his durability. His skin is similar to titanium steel in durability, and he can survive anything from gunfire at point blank range, to being lit on fire to being blown up. He is able to take hits from heroes and villains a great deal stronger than him, but of course it will still do damage to him and he'd rather just dodge. Furthermore his strength is enhanced and he is able to lift up to 50 tonnes and can punch harder than a freight train. His stamina is also a part of his powers as he is able to exert himself at full capacity for about a day before he gets tired. He also has a healing factor, although not one of huge note. He is able to heal from mild injuries a lot faster than a normal human, but something as grievous as a broken bone will still take a while. Lastly, an unconventional power of his is his speed. He is able to move faster than many human athletes, but is nowhere near the speed of any speedster hero. Appearance: Cage stands at a tall 6 foot 2 and, of course, has a muscular physique. His hair is black and is kept shaven. His clothing style isn't really limited to any one kind of outfit, some days he may wear jeans and a t-shirt, while others he might just go out in gym gear. Costume: Cage's costume is unconventional to say the least. It consists of his signature yellow t-shirt combined with a pair of jeans and a custom made belt bearing his surname in large block letters on the buckle. Personality: Luke is a perfect example of a pragmatist. When he sets a goal, he achieves it, not letting anyone get in his way no matter what. He maintains a friendly, almost cocky demeanor around new people and friends, but around people he knew from before prison he acts a lot more serious and apprehensive. Excluding his parents of course. He's known for his habit of promoting is 'Hero For Hire' business at any given chance, especially when on TV, but if someone were in need who hadn't hired him he'd help them all the same for no charge. Brief Bio: Luke was born Carl Lucas in one of the poorest areas of Harlem. His mother struggled to make ends meet as a waitress in a restaurant she had to take two buses to get to, while his father walked out a few weeks after Luke was born. His mother tried to raise him as an upstanding citizen and many of the morals she instilled in him are what lead to him becoming a hero in later life. But the pressure from his friends was too great, and he succumbed to forming a gang with his friend, Willis Stryker.
The gang didn't do anything too bad, mostly petty crimes like pick pocketing and thievery. He had dreams of becoming the next Al Capone, but this all changed after his step-dad came into the picture. He was a policeman well known in the area, and one who Luke had a few run ins with himself. He taught Luke about the repercussions of his actions and why what he was doing was bad. Over time Luke began to see things in a new light, and turned over a new leaf, abandoning his life of crime for one of a law abiding citizen.
Stryker didn't take this very well. He saw it as a betrayal, and expected Luke to rat on him to the police. He planted class A drugs in Luke's room and called the police. He was arrested and sent to a juvenile detention facility. Determined not to succumb to a life of crime yet again, Luke began studying on something he knew he was good with, cars. He planned on trying to get into college after his sentence was finished for engineering, but his life took a different turn. While researching cars he discovered civil engineering, and decided to study both, if only to make his mother proud.
Often getting in fights over his step father, he garnered the attention of a sadistic guard, who treated him far worse than any other prisoner. The guard practically forced Luke to volunteer for a new Super-Soldier program which involved him being submerged in a field of electricity. When the scientists weren't looking, the guard fiddled with the controls, breaking the machine and resulting in Luke gaining the powers he is known for today.
He escaped from the facility and made his way back to Harlem, reuniting with his parents and changing his name in order to signify a new beginning. He also began operating under his 'Hero For Hire' business, earning hefty sums of cash after he began making a name for himself. He established an office in Times Square and even began earning enough money to hire a secretary.
Recently he's been contacted by Franklin Richards, so his office is currently not taking any new jobs.
A question, and I'm sure I'm repeating someone or just missed something, but are we limited completely to just superpowers, or can it include more engineered powers? (As in using technology instead).

(Believe it or not I had to do some major timing on Magneto so that it more aptly fits her age and I don't want her OP.
I can trim her down a bit more
This section will not appear on the Approved CS)
Maxine is a mutant with the power to manipulate magnetic fields giving her a wide range of effects.
The primary application of her power is control over magnetism and the manipulation of ferrous and nonferrous metal and the amount of mass she can manipulate at one time is unknown she has been observed flipping main battle tanks like tub toys.
She can manipulate a large number of individual objects simultaneously and can assemble complex machinery with her power somehow keeping track of hundreds if not thousands of objects swirling around her. A useful side effect to her magnetic levitation is the gift of flight.
She can also generate electromagnetic pulses of great strength and generate and manipulate electromagnetic energy down to a focused and powerful beam which can destroy all but a few shielded electronic systems.
Another way in which Magneto frequently uses her power is the projection of force-fields which selectively block out matter and energy. These fields are strong enough to withstand the strikes of high energy projectiles such as 120 mm Heap rounds.
She can also channel her powers through her own body to increase her strength and durability far beyond human limits and has a baseline reaction many times faster than those of regular humans.
Magneto is able to resist all but the strongest or most unexpected of telepathic attacks. Some physical aspect of her electromagnetic powers interfere with telepathy.
Costume: Red and black are her primary colors in her costume. Covering her chest and vital organs Max wears a bodice of articulated dark red metal plates over a padded black bodice. On her hips she wears a skirt made of a metal fabric over crimson padded short shorts. Her boots are made of a supple metal fabric just like her skirt and rather than having high heels as most expect her look more like soft soled tabi boots worn by ninja On her back she sports a dark red cape also made of a metal fabric as are her sleeves; her gloves are black. She finishes this all off with metal helmet. (All total her costume weighs over 120 Kilos, lol)
Personality: Max is an odd girl made even more so by tragedy.
She has no social filter telling people the truth in a brutal manner and fails to understand why that angers people. (She perceives the world differently through magnetics and her brain functions in radical way to allow her to make sense of her physical world)
One of her most powerful beliefs is that Mutant will eventually replace Homo Sapien on earth if as a people they focus on not destroying themselves. (Her view on genetics is not as negative as it is perceived. She still cares for humanity if asked and will explain)
She is a adventurous sort who is quick to gamble her safety and seems to not feel fear in any action she chooses once on course.
Brief Bio: Maxine is a Vagabond born into a traveling circus in Eastern Europe which was while difficult a life she felt drawn to like are her family and people.
Her's was an aerial family that worked in several shows and had done so for several generations and she made to fly. At the age of 10 Max as her family called her was a star attraction already known for her death defying stunts with the precision of adults with more than 10 years experience.
It was on Max's 12th birthday that she discovered the secret of her uncanny skill in aerial acrobatics; she could fly!
At first she kept it a secret experimenting in private till she knew she must tell her family.
They were astounded at first till their elder Uncle Sasha spoke up warning them of whispers he'd heard of the government seeking such children then those same children disappearing. The family as always voted and kept her secret.
All was well and now that they had Max as their erector the circus flourished. She was the star attraction her picture in papers calling her Taila Princess of the Sky and at the age of 15 she thought she had the world.
Then it happened in show before the Prime minister of Latvia a small country that was under siege by radicals that a bomb destroyed all her dreams killing everyone she knew.
She was in shock but untouched because a forcefield she never knew she had which protected her from the blast. The country's security forces seeing her unharmed near their injured PM for reasons unknown labeled her as responsible and attacked.
From the Latvian forces point of view as they entered the shattered remains of tent that once held the circus and standing at the center of a swirling vortex of twisted metal was Maxine unscathed. The firing began as it often did when a panicked young soldier squeezed his trigger by accident his weapon's rounds striking the shields of the distraught young mutant uselessly.
She in the beginning tried only to dodge and defend against the weapons the soldiers carried but all that changed when a Hind Gunship that had been flying only a few miles from the tragedy dove in for the attack. After that came a running battle which no man who was in attendance would ever forget.
Magneto/Max was forced by her need to survive to push her talent beyond levels she'd not thought herself capable of as she fought aircraft and armor. Armored gunships were ripped from the sky and main battle tanks flipped as if they were tub toys as she fought her way out of the killing field.
(Strangely enough Max managed all this and the opposition troops only suffered wounds; none were killed)
For three years Max was on the run from the law sought as a murderous criminal till one day an odd young man who had strange abilities just as she and talked her into surrendering to Interpol. He showed her video recently recovered from a State News camera which revealed that had she not been present and erected her shields and been between the PM and the explosion he would now be dead.
Max agreed to turn herself in and did so in good faith but regretted her actions as time dragged on for nearly a year while she sat in a prison that she could escape with ease. In the end it was her behavior and a calm new government in Latvia that gained her a full pardon.
Max had always been an excellent student and a quick practical study learned in a few short minutes that all she'd done before barely exposed the scope and limit of her talent. Survival is an excellent teacher who only rewards the living and Max's Diety and she proved a dedicated worshiper.
(need to figure out the how an the why she joins the team)
The idea I was going on was Franklin traveled the globe and recruited them, then at the start of the RP they all meet at the new base of operations with the Baxter Building.
@RumikoOhara I would like to see maybe more detail about the bombing, where she was, what exactly happened, how did she survive, that kind of thing. Otherwise it's good so I'd approve it. But that is a major detail to not go into detail on especially considering there's no way in hell such a thing would go unnoticed and be reported on.
@DrewVonAwesome Changed Peter's appearance into Tom Holland's. I find it kinda appropriate for the character since 1. Tom is the new and seemingly a great Peter Parker/Spider-Man. 2. It seems everybody is using realistic pictures for characters.
