Bah, been voluntold for overtime. Gonna have to WIP this for now.

The one guy who doesn't actually want to be here...

Name: Duncan MacAodhan
Alias: (He hasn't quite gotten that far ahead yet. Simply referred to as "New Guy" or "Rookie" when on assignment, for now.)
Age: 24
Personality: Clever, Genre-savvy, Frank, Stubborn, Cynical, Big-hearted (even if he's hilariously ignorant of it)
Archetype: Metahuman
Powers:
Immense Physical Prowess- Duncan is, for lack of a better way of putting it, really goddamn strong... and fast... and pretty tough to boot, if the fact that he went toe-to-toe with an unhinged clone of freaking Superman and actually managed to hold his own for a brief time is any indication ("Brief" here meaning "Before Bizarro saw right through his shortcomings and started using his advantage in mobility, experience and freaky superpowers to outright beat his ass into the ground and through several buildings").

All that being said, it should be noted that though his metahuman genes put him roughly in the range of Kryptonian physical ability (while falling dramatically short of Superman, who is an absolute beast, even among his own kind), Duncan... is a chainsmoking, borderline alcoholic who has never worked out or trained a single day in his entire goddamn life and as a result, is about as out of shape and weak as he can possibly be. It's anyone's guess what he'd be capable of if he got his shit together and actually trained.

Weaknesses: While Duncan possesses roughly the same physical abilities of a Kryptonian, he is still very much human; He can't fly, he still needs to breathe, possesses no form of crazy eye-lasers or freezing breath and can't survive solely off sunlight. In fact, for simplicity's sake, here's a comprehensive list of examples of things that can hurt and/or kill him just like any other guy.
-Drowning.
-Poison Gas.
-Regular poison.
-Electrocution.
-Starvation.
-Asphyxiation.
-Dehydration.
-Bleeding out.
-Bleeding internally.
-Food poisoning.
-Heart-failure.
-Liver-failure.
-Kidney-failure.
-Cancer.
-Hypothermia.
-Being thrown into the sun.
-Being thrown into space in general.
-Tameranean Cooking.

In addition to that, the exact minute he woke up in the Watchtower, Batman informed that he'd be quitting smoking and drinking cold turkey and going on a new diet. In addition to running The Dark Knight's daily balls-to-the-wall exercise routine at increased gravity (In Bruce's own words; "...And you'll go until I'm tired of watching.") and sparring with Ajax, an old robot companion Superman built in the 60's and general ass-whoopin' enthusiast.

Long story short, at game start, a week after getting his ass handed to him by Bizarro and three days into Batman's insane work out routine and getting punched in the face a few times a day by Ajax, Duncan is battered, bloodied, bruised, sore, outright exhausted and severely craving smokes, booze and greasy food. He's not going to be at his best.

Appearance: To read what Duncan is physically capable of, you might picture some sort of hulking mountain of a man with bulging muscles and a jawline chiseled from granite... to actually meet the man however, you'd be disappointed and maybe a little confused- MacAodhan is not a large man. In fact, compared to most in the League he is downright tiny, standing at only 5'6" on a good day and lacking the bulging, musclebound physique of proper superheroes in favour of a lean, though dense physique closer to that of an Olympic swimmer if anything, though his broad shoulders and calloused hands make a fairly decent indicator of his blue-collar background, to which he also owes the habit of shaving his brown hair into a buzzcut, to cut deal with the heat in his workplace.

Lacking much in the way of an actual superhero costume, when in the field, Duncan simply throws on his workboots, gloves, jeans and a denim jacket over either some plain wifebeater or t-shirt, topping it all off by tying a black rag over his face and one of the Robins' old masks over his hazel eyes and putting on an old ballcap he got from some Halifax pub or another. When on the Watchtower, however, he is almost only ever seen in JLA-issued gym-wear as he goes about his daily routine of attempting to survive whatever new insanity Batman has concocted for him that day.

You know how race cars have ads all over them? We need a superhero like that.

He/she would be your everyday dude/gal, smart as fuck but poor as hell. He/she would sell out to the corporate overlords to get the tech built and suit supplied to be a superhero but have to have ads all over the suit.

The super hero name: Corporate Person (can't use man or woman because someone might be offended)-God just typing that offended me. Stupid PC.

[rocketrobie2]

@Burning Kitty I love heroes like that. Someone could do a take on Booster Gold (I'd do it myself but at the moment I'm set on Cyborg.)

If I lose interest in my Cyborg idea I'm defiantly gonna try something like that.

@Experiment 249

Next couple of days. My sis is in town from across the other end of the states until Tuesday so my schedule is kinda weird ATM. I didn't plan on being gone so long yesterday or I would've started working on it already...

@Member 00492so am I not accepted?

@Orange Juice

I just haven't got to reading all of the newer CS's. No worries. I'll @ tag you with any notes or issues with the CS. And thank you for the interest, OJ! Can I call you Juice? lol

As long as it's not OJ Simpson you can call me anything hahaha

[Omega Man]

@Orange Juice If the guy was once a superhero called Springheeled Jack utilizing part of his abilities instead of a menace of a vampire I could accept that. We've already got a guy that turns into a demon or an angel who's demon side would be a bit too similar to your guy. Plus I'm looking for more superhero-y characters ATM. So far it's a lot of gloom and doom.

Should have my Bulletman Bulleteer CS finished up tonight.

@Member 00492 Well I mean I've based it on an actual victorian legend of the same name. Also, I would argue that he is that now, like I wouldn't even say he's much of an anti-hero in his current state. What exactly would I need to change in order to be accepted?

@Burning Kitty I love heroes like that. Someone could do a take on Booster Gold (I'd do it myself but at the moment I'm set on Cyborg.)

@rocketrobie2

The newest episode of Justice League Action really changed my opinion of Booster Gold.

[rocketrobie2]

@Burning Kitty haven't seen it, did it change for the better or worse?

[Burning Kitty]

@Burning Kitty haven't seen it, did it change for the better or worse?

@rocketrobie2

Depends on how you like Booster. IMO better.

[Omega Man]

@Orange Juice A little less Anne Rice and a little more Stan Lee.

[Prints Avoid]

I've got an idea for a character. I've skimmed over the others but I wanna drop the idea here, make sure he doesn't overlap too much with anyone else.

I'm thinking of someone with portal abilities. The exact source is still something I'm working on. A mostly "reformed criminal" brought into the league by a higher up. Similar to what happened with Plastic Man. I was thinking he got into trouble as a kid and got in with the wrong crowd. Eventually drew the attention of a powerful underworld type who coerced him into doing worse things. He was given a second chance and he's making the best of it, though he still tends to use his power for small personal gain here and there.

[Weird Tales]

I'm almost finished with my Speed Racer themed hero

[The Angry Goat]

I'm most of the way there with this dude, just gotta finish up some details after work tomorrow.
