One and a half years ago a new Metahuman named "Anarchy" appeared, attacking government sites around the world. After each attack, he would post allegations against the government and site he attacked. This made him the enemy of the Justice League, who considered him to just be another super-villain who was trying to hurt people. He ended up working with various villains because of this and, one year ago, they attacked Cadmus, drawing the Justice League to them.

During that fight Anarchy tried to talk Superman into standing down and, when that didn't work, pulled a shotgun out. Thinking that it couldn't hurt him, Superman slowly flew towards him, and Anarchy fired. The Kryptonite shards the gun fired embedded themselves into him and, after Anarchy shot him again just to make sure, Luthor landed behind the Man of Steel and drew a ten inch Kryptonite blade and ran it through his back. Anarchy reminded him that no one else was to die, and Luthor scowled, but complied. After the battle, Anarchy burned the body along with the Kryptonite and buried the ashes at a memorial in Metropolis.

A week later Anarchy walked before all of the former Justice League members who were now being held in Belle Reve. "I held you here just to make sure you didn't try and stop us while we finished our mission. Every politician and military leader that refused to step down is now in prison awaiting trial for crimes against humanity. In order to guarantee that you can't secretly reinstall them into positions of power or continue to secretly rule the world from the shadows, every one of your secret identities is now public knowledge. Now, if you'll go through that door over there," he pointed to a door to his right, "your gear will be returned and your power-dampening collars removed. Welcome to the new world."

---

A year later Mark Patterson, CEO of Phoenix Security Services, formerly known as Anarchy, was in a meeting with his head of security operations, John Stewart. He looked up as Kevin Kirk, his assistant, opened the door. "Sir, there two men here to see you, Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen."

"Of course," he said, "send them in." After they entered, he greeted them. Neither looked too happy to see him, but they weren't openly hostile. "So, how's the the plan coming?"

"Not too good," said Queen, "Building a prison colony at the bottom of ocean isn't exactly easy."

You can play as any kind of character you want. I'll make the script work for the characters, but so far I've got a rouge hero and a minion for Amanda Waller as characters in the Int Check, so it looks like people want to go against Anarchy for now.

It depends on how they are limited. Technically reality warping can be any power (I think technically all of the xmen are low-grade reality warpers), by power dampening could work. Anarchy amplifies the powers of others by essentially temporarily removing much of their limiting factors. It's how they were able to take on the Justice League. Of course, they burn out or get recoil problems from him doing that, but he can do the same to himself without those problems, which is why he's so strong.

I'll have to post his sheet tonight as a reference.

Name: Jonathon Kent

Super Name: Superboy

Powers:
Kryotonian Psychology: Jonathon Kent is half Krypton and half human, which grants him superhuman abilities shared by all members of the dead race from Krypton. His cells adsorb solar radiation from earth's yellow sun and grant him super strength, incredible durability as well as microscopic, heat and x-ray vision. He is also able to fly at supersonic speeds and possess superhuman hearing. Do to his young age, Jonathon is nowhere close to Superman's power and max can lift 80 tons of weight, maybe more if he really pushes himself. He is also very weak against Kryptonite and Red sun radiation can slowly strip him of his powers. Jonathon has no defense against magic and effected by magical weapons just like a normal human.

Technology: He just has his smartphone and a communicator from his father's fortress of solitude.

Acquaintances:

Best friend: Damian Wayne.

Family Friend: Bruce Wayne

Family Friend : Diana Prince

Cousin: Kara Zor El

Personality: Jonathan is his father's son and has a very kind heart. For him Truth, Justice and The American way are part of the legacy that his father created and he wants to live up to that legacy. Because of his young age, Jonathon has tendencies to be immature and more innocent then an average adult, which makes it easier for him to be fooled by deceptive people. Jonathon tries to be a symbol of hope like his dad, but the status of America has made it more difficult to keep his faith in a good society.

Bio: Born to Clark Kent and Lois Lane, Jonathon was destined for big things. From a young age his powers had developed and his father helped teach how to control these great powers. Jonathon was raised by his father's belief in Truth Justice and the American Way. When the villain Anarchy attacked the world governments in his way of making the world a better place, Jonathon saw his father's supposed death and he was hit with the terrible tragedy.

But things were not as they had seemed and his father turned out to be alive. He explained to him about his reasons for faking his death, but Jonathon disagreed with his dad's decision to disguise himself in order to see if Anarchy was right. Johnathan wanted the world to go back to the way it was and see more peace.

Where is Aquaman during all this? Surely the King of Atlantis would never allow surface dwellers to construct anything in his domain. I wouldn't be surprised if he considered this to be encroaching on Atlantis's territory and declare war.

He's ruling Atlantis. Anarchy is hiring an Atlantian construction crew and mostly Atlantian guards, though, so Aquaman lets him get away with it. Plus, it's only 10km off the coast on a 2km deep shelf, so it's not really that much in the ocean.

My idea is that many people (including Lex Luthor and Bane) and selling super-human abilities and that a normal prison can't hold them if they become criminals. Phoenix, because it specializes in stopping super villains, needed another prison for them (Belle Reve was getting full) so Anarchy considered the moon and the ocean floor as viable places to build them, as the environment itself would prevent escape. The Ocean won out because there were guards and construction crews available to do the work.

I felt like playing Superman's son since I think the concept is cool. Can we make a second character?

Is he a clone or did Superman and Lois actually have a kid?

Sure, you can have a second character if you can handle posting for two characters.

@DoubleMaybe the bio can fix it or it won't be that goofy. Maybe it will be more Deadpool-esque (some of the powers could work for that.) Maybe we can find a compromise.

I'll wait to read the bio before I say for certain if it will work or not.

@DoubleTechnically, he beat Superman by thinking, not by being stronger. Anyone could have beat Superman if they could have gotten their hands on Kryptonite and thought of using it that way. Also, he didn't want to kill anyone, but Luthor finished Superman off after he was defeated.

Anarchy just didn't like the government, and the JL was his enemy because they defended it, not because he didn't like them. That's why he's working with them later and even hired some of them.
