DC Universe REBIRTH iCheck

[Omega Man]

Fuckit, I'll join this, thinking The Return of the Legendary Fission, a true American hero. something to do with Zod, I love me some Zod.

@bluetommy2

Fission was based on the evil Impulse from Superman wasn't he? You could put a new spin on that if you wanted.

[Bluetommy]

Nah, I have a good idea for Zod, speaking of...

Sheet

Character Reimagined: General Dru-Zod

Secret ID: King Dru-Zod I "The Conqueror" of Rann

Age: 102

Powers: Kryptonian physiology grants him:

-Superior strength
-Flight
-Heat Vision
-Weakened resistance to all forms of damage
-Freezing breath
-Weakened super-speed

His Phantom Gauntlets grant him:

-Power over the Phantom Zone and all its inhabitants.
-Object summoning.
-Teleportation.

Weaknesses: -Reliance on the Phantom Zone has sapped his natural resistance, meaning he is much more easily damaged than other Kryptonians.
-Overuse of the Phantom Gauntlets is fatal, even to a Kryptonian.
-Normal Kryptonian weakness to Kryptonite.
-Loses power under a red sun.
-Advanced age due to Phantom Gauntlet use.
-Addiction to the use of the Phantom Gauntlets

Personality: Though once arrogant and narcissistic, Zod has mellowed considerably over the course of his kingship, becoming less of a tyrannical braggart and more like a lazy dictator. Still arrogant and with a narcissistic streak, Zod believes in his superiority over all others but secretly doubts his own ability due to his aging body and addiction to the Phantom Gauntlets. As a king, he is well known for his quick and brutal enforcement of justice, but he is also known as a hero to the Rannite people, something that amuses Zod more than he'd like to admit. Zod has began to warm to his people, and sees them as his charge, as such, he will protect them with his life.

Appearance:

Battle Armor

BRIEF Bio: Dru-Zod was the son of Kyptonian scientists. As a youth he discovered his father was a brutal serial killer, abducting young men and murdering them after brutal torture. Enraged not by the fates of his father's victims, but by his father's malicious mis-use of his power, Zod killed his father and hid his corpse.

As he grew, he became acquainted with Jor-El, scientist of renown and heavily connected to the military high command through his research and development of weaponry. With heavy recommendation from Jor-El, Zod rose through the Kryptonian army, eventually becoming high commander and general of all Kryptonian forces. Zod, however, began to fear a neighboring race known as the Char, as the military's highest authority, he quickly forged a declaration of war and marched on the Char home-world. Despite their victory, Zod's army was devastated.

Feeling no regret for his actions, Zod argued intensely when accused of treason, eventually he was found guilty, but Jor-El cried for mercy, allowing Zod the chance to escape. Spending years wandering through space, Zod discovered the Phantom Gauntlets, former Kryptonian weapons thrown to space due to the dangers they posed on the user. Taking them, Zod felt emboldened, and his desire for power became all consuming. Zod, frothing at the prospect of being a king, entered the nearest planet and conquered it singlehandedly. As the years go by, Zod becomes more and more mellow, recalling Jor-El's showing of compassion that saved his life, and resolving to use his immense power for the good of his people. Discovering a Kryptonian living on Earth, Zod traveled there with his Rannite entourage, aiming to find himself a successor.

Notes: The main point of divergence in this Zod's story is his murder of his father, not adopted by the house of El due to his mother surviving, he lacked the resentment towards Jor-El that he had in our timeline, allowing him to discover compassion and escape Krypton without being in a bottle.

[Weird Tales]

I decided to go with Jonah Hex as my CS. I will try to finish it as soon as I can.

Character Reimagined: Jonah Hex
Secret ID: Jonah Hex
Age: 35
Powers: Jonah has no superhuman powers, but he as a normal human is incredibly skilled in different aspects of combat.

Sharp shooter: Jonah Hex is an expert marksman and is fast enough to quick draw and kill six men before they can even retaliate, with one revolver. He is able to perform trick shots by having bullets ricochet off of hard surfaces to hit enemies concealed by cover. Jonah can also shoot projectile weapons such as throwing stars, knives and arrows out of the air. Finally he is accurate enough to shoot the ears and fingers off of enemies without killing them.

Axe wielder: Jonah Hex is very skilled with wielding an axe and has killed an armed man from fifteen feet away before he can draw his gun.

Knife fighter: As a knife fighter Jonah Hex is incredibly skilled and has fought against world class fencers with the weapon.

Hand to hand combat: While he is not trained in any complex martial arts, Jonah Hex is a great boxer and formidable brawler. Living in a more gritty and rougher time period has made him see many fights and tavern brawls.
Weaknesses: Jonah Hex is still just a normal human and if you shoot him or stab him he will bleed like any normal human.
Personality:
Appearance:

BRIEF Bio:
Notes: for weapons he has two revolvers, one shotgun, a combat knife and an axe

OMACTIVATE!

Character Reimagined: OMAC

Secret ID: Omega-Force Manageable Ancillary Channeller, Gizmo

Age: six months

Powers:

OMAC unit

OMAC is a satellite capable of channeling and controlling the primal energies of the Omega-force. When willed by OMAC, an awesome beam of red light (the Omega-Force) descends from the satellite to imbue a person on the ground with all of the powers of the champion of the Omega-Force which are:
-Super Strength: An OMAC conduit’s strength varies depending on whom it possesses but normally it is increased to a level that would allow him to rival the likes of a Kryptonian.
-Super Durability: An OMAC conduit can take the full force of a bullet train with minimal effort and can survive for around a day in the void of space if need be. (Again, this varies with the host.)
-Omega Beams: OMAC conduits can draw directly from the Omega-Force and fire beams of red energy from their eyes which can bend and change direction to follow their target. The beams begin to disintegrate whatever they touch though the process isn’t instantaneous but it’s still a deadly power to begin with.
-Knowledge Assimilation: The OMAC AI is able to draw upon all of the memories of it’s current and past hosts (as long as they had been previously drawn upon) and use their knowledge to help him in his endeavours.

Weaknesses:
-Omega Consciousness: The Omega-Force, while an awesome force capable of immeasurable feats, has a major drawback. The Omega-Force is a living thing and was once the one controlling it’s conduits but with the addition of OMAC acting as a filter of sorts, the consciousness has to take a back seat to OMAC though it doesn’t take it’s position very well. When OMAC is active, its constantly barraged by the constant struggle to keep the Omega-Force out of control.
-Energy Based Attacks: While not all energy attacks are equally effective against OMAC, they are all an issue as OMAC uses energy to carry out most of it’s functions. Given enough energy based trauma, OMAC can be weaselled out of control and the conduit’s body would be forfeited over to the Omega-Force consciousness. Magic can also be an issue to both OMAC and the Omega-Force consciousness due to the finicky nature of merging a human host with the Omega-Force.
-Recharge: After imbuing and releasing a creature from the Omega-Force, OMAC needs an hour or so to get realigned with the Omega-Force and create new ‘firewalls’ in order to continue to make it difficult for the Omega-Force to take over.
-Radion: While very rare on Earth, the element Radion acts as a sponge to the Omega-Force and getting near the element can cause huge deductions in power.
Personality: At the moment OMAC doesn’t have much of a base personality but he is capable of learning rapidly and will likely build up a personality of his own in a matter of weeks after interacting with others.

Appearance:

The Satellite

When people are possessed by OMAC’s Omega-Force they lose all of their hair, usually double in size, gain a bulkier physique and the skin around their eyes appears to crack. Additionally they get a crimson red tint to their skin as well as a red glow as they brim with energy. Their clothes are also changed by the force and turned into form fitting suits with a red eye like emblem on the chest (sometimes directly in the middle and sometime its off to the side depending on the original clothes).

BRIEF Bio:

Omega-Force

Many ancient culture on planets have stories of the godly red light that brought destruction to numerous civilizations. The light was known on Earth as the Omega-Force which would be summoned to a champion after numerous grotesque offerings and sacrifices done by followers of the Red Light. The Champion would forgo his or her identity to become the conduit for the Omega-Force and bring destruction to those who would oppose the followers of the Red Light. Many times the force was called upon and then released by the will of the Omega-Force but at one point the Omega-Consciousness began to get tired of being summoned by the inhabitants of Earth every time they had a minor squabble so rather than simply leave after his purpose was complete the next time he was summoned, the Omega-Conciousness began conquering the various faction of primal Earth until all that was left was a small band of rebels that would likely pose very little threat to him. However this attitude was the Omega-Consciousness’s undoing as one of the rebels (having heard a voice from some ethereal plane of existence) constructed a spear from a rare element known only to him as Radion. With this spear the man managed to take down the evil dictator at the cost of his own life.

OMAC

In early 1981an ancient sanctum was discovered in the deep reaches of an African strip mine. In this sanctum was a complete history of a civilization written out in a language predating all others. This in of itself was an amazing discovery but the stories of the primal force that took out the enemies of the civilization were just as enticing to those in business of weapon development. While at first the stories were pushed aside as nothing more than tribal mumbo jumbo, upon discovering that this civilization and modern society had similar grasps on what was and was not possible and the showings of early science, those studying the civilization began to believe that the Omega-Force may actually exist. The information on the Omega-Force was sold to the highest bidder which happened to be the U.S. government whom promptly began working on a work around to the gruesomeness of the old sacrifices.

With time and quite a bit of trial and error those working on the OMAC project were finally able to make a connection to the Omega-Force without any of the tribal practices that were once used. They unleashed the force on a rat which then proceeded to injure most of the staff and leave many in critical condition. After this horrific event, many of the researchers left the project but those who stayed began working on a way to filter out the influence of the Omega-Force while keeping all the power. Their solution was a repurposed AI that one of the scientists had been working on in their free time (which she named Gizmo) that would actively fight the influence of the Omega-Force and allow control over those effected by the Force. Now after nearly four decades of development the OMAC project has finally come to fruition and the OMAC AI is ready to serve the citizens of Earth in their struggle against evil.

Notes:

Darksied’s connection the the Omega-Force

While ultimately this is up to KL to figure out assuming he uses Darksied in the RP at some point, I’d imagine Darksied to be The Omega-Force’s longest conduit and not fully under the control of the Omega-Force and acting more like a Darth Vader to the Omega-Force’s Emperor Palpatine.

[Omega Man]

@Weird Tales Remember you gotta change him up a bit! Make him in the modern day, give us a good reason why his face is jacked, etc.

@rocketrobie2 When you mentioned your boy being in red, it made me think of the refurbished OMAC from the Outsiders comics REMAC.



I like how you're spinning it with the satellite and the connection to Darkseid's power, but how will this thing be able to join a group to defend the Earth? Will we communicate with a satellite? Is there a scientist somewhere running the show like with REMAC and the Outsiders?

@bluetommy2 So Zod is on Earth looking for a successor? Won't that interfere with his lazy ruler ship of Rann? Either way I still dig how you spun him, and the phantom gauntlets. Is that a thing in the comics?

~KL~

[rocketrobie2]

@The Kid Lantern The whole time I was developing OMAC I was thinking he seemed to fit a REMAC redesign a lot better by in my head I already had the 'O' in the OMAC acronym figured out and I didn't want to just go back and change most of the stuff I had already written.

Also in terms of communication, I would have it start off as just idle chatter from when OMAC is possessing someone but eventually have someone (Maybe Hawkman even) set up a communications relay with the satellite so OMAC could communicate with everyone via earpieces or something of the like.

[Omega Man]

@rocketrobie2 Is OMAC an AI then? Or is there somebody controlling it and selecting people at random to become superpowered giants?

~KL~

[rocketrobie2]

@The Kid Lantern It's an AI. The AI is what keeps the Omega-Forcd consciousness in check and take control of the people it possesses.

[Bluetommy]

@The Kid Lantern Well he has a regent in his place while he's out. And no, the phantom gauntlets aren't a thing in the comics, i was inspired by Zod's depiction in injustice, where he has prominent gauntlets and controls the phantom zone.

[Weird Tales]

@The Kid Lantern I was planning for him to be time displaced. So basically he is stuck in the present

[Ultimate Spidey]

So many ideas going through my head right now...

Ideas include:
a genderswapped Demon/Jason Blood

a Constantine with psychic powers instead of magic

an insect/arachnid inspired character (Blue Beetle, Yellowjacket, Spider, Black Spider) with actual insect/arachnid-based powers

maybe a character that somehow combines Secret and Deadman (ghostly abilities)

@Ultimate Spidey

Genderswapped Demon sounds good.

A spin on Constantine could work.

As for bug related characters, there's a classic hero recently remade as a female with a tech suit called the Red Bee. A different/female Blue Beetle would be cool too. [There's even a Red Beetle that's female who uses the same tech as Ted Kord.]

You should make Secret Deadwoman and an adult LOL. I loved Secret in the classic YJ days, and Deadman is another favorite.

~KL~

[Double]

@The Kid Lantern Now that I've had time to think... I'm actually very stuck between Aquaman and Green Lantern now. My Lantern idea still stands, but I've also been thinking of what could be an interesting take on Aquaman.

Atlantis is still involved, but Aquaman does not rule it. Instead, Atlantis is considered a dead kingdom. It's there, but it's no longer inhabited, at least not by any actual Atlanteans. Instead the native Atlanteans were driven out, forced to abandon it a long time ago and slowly started to die off, especially when they began to reluctantly integrate themselves into the surface world. Now there's only one left (Aquaman) and even he is half-human. As for Atlantis itself, what if it wasn't so much mystical but instead used advanced technology (like in the Disney movie)? The only mystical object still related to Atlantis is the Trident of Poseidon. The Trident itself would more or less still function like the regular DC Universe, in that it summons lightning and can manipulate storms to a certain degree. Basically Atlantis based its technology around machines and weapons meant to be powered by the Trident. However, this universe's version of Black Manta (who I imagine as a human that was lost in a shipwreck and adopted into Atlantis) tried to take the Trident for himself so he could use it to usurp the throne and become King. He managed to accumulate followers and what started as a simple rebellion escalated into a Civil War that left Atlantis in ruins, its people forced to abandon it. Now the only people left in the city is Black Manta and his followers, Manta himself stubbornly remaining on the throne as a self-proclaimed King currently holding the Trident to boot. He would see Aquaman as a threat to his "reign" and thus that would be the origin for their archenemy status.

[Omega Man]

@Double I really dig both ideas for GL and Aquaman, I like the spin on Aquaman a bit more though. "Last Son of Atlantis" has a nice ring to it. I've never liked Aquaman as a king. I don't much care for Mera either if I'm being honest. I dig Tempest and the last Aquagirl [from Sub Diego, my favorite era of Aquaman].

~KL~

[Burning Kitty]

I have an idea for a Hawk & Dove set of characters.

Can't go into it now. Just wanted to throw it out there.

[Double]

Character Reimagined: Aquaman

Secret ID: Arthur Curry Jr.

Age: 30

Powers
Telepathy: He can summon/communicate with aquatic animals. With enough concentration he can also do the same with lifeforms evolved from the sea, though it is considerably weaker.
Superhuman Strength: His strength derives from the fact that his body is strong enough for his lungs to work properly even at the bottom of the sea where the pressure is at its greatest.
Superhuman Durability: Similar to his strength, Aquaman can withstand a great deal of attacks from other superhumans or even machine gun fire.
Aquatic Adaptation: Aquaman can survive at any depth in the ocean, swimming and fighting at the same superhuman level as any superhuman on land, though Aquaman is notable for being an even stronger combatant while underwater.
Hard Water Constructs: Aquaman possesses a pair of Atlantean gauntlets that use electrical currents to manipulate water into "solid" constructs such as melee weapons or shields.

Weaknesses: Aquaman's main weakness is that much of his ability is derived from the Sea. While he can still be formidable on the land, the Sea is where he is at his strongest. Even his water constructs are reliant on the gauntlets as an outside force, without them Aquaman is effectively unarmed.

Personality: Most of his kind tend to have a stubborn pride for being born of Atlantis. They are Atlanteans first above anything else. Arthur on the other hand, is the polar opposite. He is Human first and Atlantean second. Having never even seen Atlantis before, Arthur knows very little of its culture and customs. Instead, he was raised as a human and he often looks to his firefighter father for inspiration or even occasional guidance. As such, Arthur prefers to emulate his father's acts of selfless heroism over his mother's loyalty as a soldier. This often means he prioritizes saving lives over defeating his enemies. That only really applies to Aquaman, though. As for Arthur Curry the person, he respects both his parents more than anyone else and will often think back to the things they taught him in an attempt to apply those wisdoms to his every day life, both as Arthur and as Aquaman. The long and short of it is that he tries every day to emulate his father's selflessness and his mother's loyalty.

Appearance: WIP

BRIEF Bio: Born to an Atlantean mother and human father, Arthur Curry Jr. grew up never being told of Atlantis or his mother's true heritage. According to his parents, they felt that he would have been better off having a normal human childhood. But when his Atlantean abilities started growing, they couldn't keep the secret any longer. Arthur's mother finally told him her story about Atlantis and the inner civil war that forced her to abandon home and live on the surface. The only things she brought with her was a pair of gauntlets designed to give the wearer the ability to manipulate water into constructs. As it turns out, she was an Atlantean soldier, one of the few who were female in fact, as Atlantis was largely male dominated. She taught Arthur how to use the gauntlets for himself and even shared with him her Atlantean training and fighting skills. Unlike his mother, Arthur had a desire to use his skills and abilities to help mankind. Rather than hide them, he instead used them to help the innocent and fight against the forces of evil as Aquaman. This perhaps proved to be a mistake, as before long Aquaman's activities would get the attention of his mother's oldest and most hated enemy.

Notes: Obviously it's not finished yet. Could use some suggestions like... how old should he be? Or what kind of appearance should I go for?

[Burning Kitty]

My idea is however they get their powers, they are merged into a single body but when they go to fight crime, supervillians, alien invasions, etc they split apart but as soon as they are done they go back to a single body. Kind of a reverse Firestorm situation. Also it is a boy and a girl, when in civilian form the guy is in control of the girl's body but the girl is always there to give advance to nag, etc. Also the guy while stuck in the girl's body is mentally attracted to girls but the body is attracted to guys, so he is screwed romantically.

@Burning Kitty

It also kinda reminds me of Marvel's Starhawk. If you can make it work without it getting too confusing it should be good.

~KL~

[Burning Kitty]

Hawk

Character Reimagined: Hawk

Secret ID: Bethany Gravestone

Age: 30

Powers: Danger Sense Transformation
Claws
Hypervigilant
Flight
Superhuman Durability
Superhuman Speed
Superhuman Stamina
Superhuman Strength
Accelerated Healing

Weaknesses: Although when she is in her 'Hawk' form, she has superhuman durability. It isn't up to Superman standards. Meaning she can still be hurt by: over excessive beating, stabbing, shooting, weapons, etc.

Bethany is a go getter, an extremely outgoing person willing to do anything to go get it. Well, in Bethany's case she absolutely means anything. Sometimes during a fight she can be over aggressive, and be blind to what she's doing.

Personality: Bethany is ever so aggressive, and if she wants something, she not afraid to go out of her way to get it. She is impulsive to the extreme, usually not taking anyone's warning and diving head first in to any situation. She doesn't think too much about the consequences ahead of her. Bethany is a free spirit, and loves to live life at the fullest. She detests rules, seeing that there meant to be broken, and always in some way questions authority. Bethany is a very outspoken person. Not afraid to speak her mind in most situations; she likes to tell the truth how it is, whether it hurts someone's feelings or not, which leads her to be quite blunt, and sometimes saying things that aren't intended to hurt someone. Bethany is a relaxed almost zen person. But if she gets rubbed the wrong way, well, there's a reason she's 'chaos'. She has a strong tendency to hold grudges, and is more prone to give anyone who has made her mad the cold shoulder for awhile. The red head is a hero at heart, and goes out of her way to prove it. Her impulsive nature doesn't really help with her stubbornness, which again leads to some sticky situations. But she is courageous and brave, and is willing to do anything for the team. Bethany is very dependent on her brother Donald Gravestone. This usually leads her to believe that Donald will always be there for her to back her up.

Appearance: Civilian, Costume

BRIEF Bio: Bethany and Donald were kidnapped by the mob to influence their father into finding a way to drop the charges against their boss. Their father dearly loved them but could not do it no matter what. So the mob came in and shot Donald. As they sat there tied up, Donald slowly dying begged God to save Bethany somehow before she could get shot, God didn’t answer but the Lords of Chaos and Order answered. The two transformed into Hawk and Dove and escaped. When they felt safe they merged into a single female being, Donald’s body was beyond saving and since he was the one to call out for help he got control of the body while Bethany still saw through her own eyes, and could talk to her brother in their shared mind she just couldn’t interact with the world unless she was Hawk.

Notes: Bethany is very displeased about the situation and jealous of her brother getting control of her body.

Dove

Character Reimagined: Dove

Secret ID: Donald Gravestone

Age: 28

Powers: Danger Sense Transformation
Claws
Hypervigilant
Flight
Superhuman Durability
Superhuman Speed
Superhuman Stamina
Superhuman Strength
Accelerated Healing

Weaknesses: No matter how smart, how resourceful, how intelligent a person is....even an agent of Order like Dove, there's always someone smarter. Though it isn't an easy feat to pull off, he can be out maneuvered from time to time.

Although when he is in his 'Dove' form, he has superhuman durability. It isn't up to Superman standards. Meaning he can still be hurt by: over excessive beating, stabbing, shooting, weapons, etc.

He is used to an opponent’s moves functioning like clockwork so if a person were able to fight with an erratic or chaotic plan of attack with no rhyme or reason he would have difficulty adjusting.

Personality: Calm, cool, collected, and level headed are the words that best describe him, almost to a fault which might cause him to come across a bit on the snobbish side. In fact just the opposite is true. Deep down he would admit he might over think things, being afraid to make mistakes for fear of living up to the carefully sculpted reputation of his sister.

Appearance: Civilian, Costume, Former civilian appearance

BRIEF Bio: Bethany and Donald were kidnapped by the mob to influence their father into finding a way to drop the charges against their boss. Their father dearly loved them but could not do it no matter what. So the mob came in and shot Donald. As they sat there tied up, Donald slowly dying begged God to save Bethany somehow before she could get shot, God didn’t answer but the Lords of Chaos and Order answered. The two transformed into Hawk and Dove and escaped. When they felt safe they merged into a single female being, Donald’s body was beyond saving and since he was the one to call out for help he got control of the body while Bethany still saw through her own eyes, and could talk to her brother in their shared mind she just couldn’t interact with the world unless she was Hawk.

Notes: Donald is very displeased about the situation and kind of pissed at his sister’s jealousy. He would gladly switch places with her if he could. He finds is very disturbing to have the body he controls react to an attractive male when he is drawn to an attractive female.

It also kinda reminds me of Marvel's Starhawk. If you can make it work without it getting too confusing it should be good.

~KL~

@The Kid Lantern

Never heard of Marvel's Starhawk. Now I have to look up Marvel's Starhawk. Reading the Marvel Database on the character is confusing one paragraph he is merged, another they are getting married and having kids, another he is merged, final paragraph he forced the merge again and was forced out of it.

[Diamond655]

I'll throw together a Barry Allen one and post it...Soon.
