[OOC] The New Avengers

[Forsythe]

Iron man (Who could have guessed? ) I have a background in mechanical engineering and it's the first superhero I came to contact with (The shitty 90s animated series unfortunately, but I was a kid so I lived it) That is if we're talking Marvel. From DC it's definitely Batman. Similar to Stark, I like the fact that through ingenuity and persistence the normal humans can match and beat superhumans of various kind.

@Forsythe

I always liked Tony Stark's sense of humor in the comics which have been translated quite well into the series/movies/non-comic-stuff.
I've never been a fan of Batman. Sure, I watched the various animated series, but I never really got excited over Batman (or any DC heroes, really) like I did with a lot of the Marvel heroes.

Also, I'm a Marvel kind of girl, but I think Marvel has some pretty lme villians. DC on the other hand has kickass (no pun intended) villians - I'm absolultely in love with their female villians especially and Ivy just tickles all of my fancies.

Fav DC Hero: Batman
Fav Marvel Hero: Wolverine & X-23

Fav DC/Marvel villian: Don't really care for them one way or another.

Cyclops was always a dick but he used to be likable, until the comics turned him into a psychopathic/sociapathic murderer. Cyclops should have died ages ago. So glad to see his younger time displaced self truly abhores who he becomes. When the young version finally goes back to his right time, maybe he won't turn into a monster and shit can be fixed.

[Forsythe]

Hmm, villains are a tough call. My favorite villain of all things everywhere will forever be Illidan Stormrage, albeit recently he's not that villainous. But from comics, it is a tie between DCs Mr. Freeze and Marvel's Magneto. I like villains that can do the right thing once in a while.

Edit: also, when we say Batman, I tend to really prefer Terry McGinnis form Batman Beyond. That series was epic :)

Terry is the perfect version of Batman. Bruce is broken beyond repair.

[The Mad Hatter]

Even when it was Terry, Batman was just ... meh. I never really got hooked and I think that's the problem. With most of the characters I like (including my own) there's been a moment where I just went "Wow! I like this dude/chick!". It may also just have been the fact that I was considerably older when I was introduced to DC since my dad was an avid Marvel supporter.

Magneto ... I've never really considered him a "villian" in that sense. He's more of an antihero to me. He's a constant in the comics and despite doing some (REALLY) bad things, he's more often actually helping out the heroes than fighting against them.

I never really cared for Cylops/Scott. He was always a dick, as you say, but he wasn't the good kind of dick (). I never found him likable. I think I stopped reading the comics before the version you're talking about.

I like Deadpool a lot. Though most of my favs are Marvel heroes because DC heroes are too... whats the word... Overshadowed and ruined by the mere presence of Superman?

For villains. Marvel Dr. Doom is pretty good and will make a great return when Fox finally gives up the Fantastic 4 license. DC, probably the Joker or Lex. DCAU made sure of that.

Superhero stories are more comedy than serious broody stuff anyway. Because they aren't ever allowed to be 'serious' if they go broody, otherwise Joker would dissolve everyone, Batman/Tony would destroy everyone with nanobots, and it would be a big mess.

@Archmage MC

Deadpool is ... Deadpool. I never actually read his comics (they weren't available in Denmark, like lots of the newer and "less popular" comics). My long-time, on-site friend (wow, I guess it's more than ten years already) vouches for him and tells me that he is his FAVORITE SUPERHERO even though he isn't that into superheroes (or Sci-Fi in general). So, I'll just have to take your word for it and guess that his comics were surely better than that awful movie.
My fiancé, looking over my shoulder as I wrote this, stated that Deadpool is AWESOME!

Joker is definitely one of my favorite villians, as well. Lex is cool, too, and I feel he'd be a better villian if his counterpeice wasn't ... Superman (ugh). I have never liked Superman, so I never really read that much of the comics; just bita and peices here and there. Like, other heroes are just "meh" to me (like Batman) and I just feel nothing towards them, but Superman is one of the few that I really just don't like

I agree with that last statement. I couldn't have said it better myself.

ALSO:
@Jones Sparrow Where have you disappeared to?

[Forsythe]

Ay, posting tomorrow cuz bored XD

[The Mad Hatter]

Oh, well, since this has obviously died, I might as well ask;

@Polaris North, who is that FC?! And why is he so SCRUMPTIOUS!?! He seems familiar, but I just can't place it.

[Polaris North]

@The Mad Hatter

I don't know man. Just searched him up and found him.

Shame that this died.

[Archmage MC]

@Polaris North yeah...

@The Mad Hatter Are you still up to drawing Light or nah?

[The Mad Hatter]

@The Mad Hatter Are you still up to drawing Light or nah?

@Archmage MC

I'm still at it. I've just got a lot of shit on my plate these days and have, like, half an hour a day for actually doing what I wanna do. I'll get more time when we hit the weekend.

Y'all know when you're stuck by a really silly idae and kinda wanna make it happen and yet know it's too stupid to ever see the light of day? Or is it just me in dire need of professional help?
Anyway, I was listening to music and though; "Wouldn't it be funny to make a Superhero RP where all characters (powers) would have to be based on a song? So ... I've been listening to songs that I could make into superheroes ever since (which is, like, 2 hours).
If you've got any, hit me.

[Archmage MC]

@The Mad Hatter Ah ok. Hope everything is going fine!

It depends on the song tbh. If its only mainstream stuff there might not be all that much you can work with. If Melody only songs are allowed you can do a good chunk, and if any music is allowed, all bets are off. xD.

[The Mad Hatter]

@Archmage MC
I'm thinking it needs to have lyrics, just to make it more of a pain.

So, it can be like .... "(What doesn't kill you makes you) Stonger" by Kelly Clarkson = Sebastian Shaw type powers

And a bit more out there - "Animal" by Disturbed = Lycantropy of some version

I think I'd steer away from really obvious ones, like "Let It Go" from Frozen and shit like that.

[Archmage MC]

@The Mad Hatter

Well, if you want the power of the gods or fire or whatever. Metal is the way to go. Most of the brutal offensive powers will probably be there. Hall of the Mountain King for example would be sort of a super dwarf with madness powers. :P.

Heck pick a song out of Brutal Legends and you could probably get something good from them. lol.

[The Mad Hatter]

@Archmage MC
I have a feeling that even if I did make this RP happen, it wouldn't actually lift off. It'd just be a bunch of morons like myself making tacky heroes out of terrible music. I'm tempted, though, just to see what ridiculousness people could come up with

[Archmage MC]

@The Mad Hatter Yeah, I dunno how far it would go...

Well... Speaking of Brutal Legend, if you put it in that kind of world sort of that might give it a good theme at least. Where music has power n stuff.

But yeah, I doubt it'd get too much traction but you never know at the same point. I tend to listen to mostly melody music though so my music of say, lyrical stuff, is a bit lacking.

Just gotta watch out for a few people on these forums. If you ever made an RP and they pop up, I can warn ya.

[The Mad Hatter]

@Archmage MC
I may do it, nonetheless, just for the experience and shits 'n' giggles.

I could do a Brutal Legend kind of theme, but I dunno.

I've been roleplaying for about 15 years and been on this forum for more than 10, so... I guess I know the types, but you can give me a heads up if there's a particular some one you know is pain in the butt.

[Jones Sparrow]

Hey everyone,

I am so sorry for my disappearance for two months. I don't want to get too much into the details, but a friend of mine got hit by a drunk driver late at night a couple months back. It wasn't fatal for anyone involved, but it left us all badly injured and needing to recover. I wasn't able to type anything too big or stay on too long, so all I could do was just sit and watch all these awesome characters and people wait for me, and I'm so sorry for that.

I was so looking forward to this RP too, so maybe sometime soon I'll try to revive it, and hopefully I can see everyone around the site, because you guys are pretty freakin' awesome XD

Again, I'm sorry, and if you'd be interested in a revival let me know somehow, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things!
