[OOC] CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

Always accepting, Chao.

It's out...



Out of curiosity, who is all your favourite main villain/hero combo? I mean you get iconic ones like Joker and Batman, Flash and his Reverse, Captain America and Redskull. Obviously all these heroes have other villains they face (I really struggled to think of a main one for spidey), but I'm talking about the Villains you think of when you hear a heroes name.

For example with me it has to be Reverse Flash. I love how he hates Barry for 'betraying' him, and does all this shit to make Barrys life hell but at the end of the day, that's all he can do. He can never kill Barry because then he'd cease to have his own origin and be a paradox in itself. I just love the dynamic that creates between them, and with how much about Barrys personal life and masked life he knows. Joker I thinks cool, but I love how RF is a psychopath but isn't completely crazy.

@Sep

I mean, it's always going to be The X-Men / Magneto for me, or possibly Reed Richards / Doctor Doom, just from the strength of the villain.

[Blue Demon]

Is there something you need to tell me? @Byrd Man

[Retired]

He's single-handedly crashing the "Like" economy on the Guild. With Mahz apparently on a never-ending vacation, he's finally free to unleash his dastardly scheme.

[Sep]

@Retired I swear about half of my likes are Byrd liking something, unliking it then liking it again.

Okay, I know there's always arguments about Superman keeping his secret ID. I can live with him just putting glasses on and it changes everything... usually. Though when he's built like a weightlifting champion how does he maintain his secret identity?

[Master Bruce]

He hunches over REALLY far.

@Sep

@AndyC can probably explain this better but it's not just glasses, Clark's entire demeanor, his body language and mannerisms are different from Superman. Something that the Christopher Reeves'movies captured very well. He slouched to appear shorter, he wears larger baggy clothing to hide his physique and he acts very meek, mild and timid in comparison to the booming bravado of Superman. All it takes is one conversation with Clark Kent, and you think there's no way that wet blanket is the Man of Steel because it comes off as very genuine.

[Sep]

@Lord Wraith I know that, but look at the image I shared. I'm speaking about that specific superman in that specific universe :P

[mickilennial]

In some versions, he can expand his physical form on will. Go from normal to peak human in a snap.

[Byrd Man]

But... Clark Kent wears glasses and Superman doesn't. Only nerds wear glasses, and Superman isn't a nerd.

@Sep

Christopher Reeve does a good job of demonstrating how glasses and posture can visually change a person in this clip

[Sep]

@Bounce I'm not denying that, really I'm not. Though there's a difference when someone looks like they hit the gym once in a while, and when it looks like they've been doing steroids for their entire life. Again, I'm talking about that SPECIFIC example, not every rendition of the character.

[mickilennial]

Maybe you should ask the animators of that particular movie. Because we sure as fuck don't have an answer for you.

[Sep]

Discussion is fun.

[mickilennial]

Fun for who?

[Sep]

The discussees.

[Master Bruce]

That universe's version of Superman doesn't have a secret identity because Clark Kent flexed too hard at The Daily Planet once and it ripped open his shirt exposing the costume underneath.

There, Sep. Is that what you wanted?! Is that what you wanted to hear?!?!

@Master Bruce

Ah. Mystery solved, thanks MB. You're always there.

Also Cheeky Little post before work, I'm kinda nervous about that one as we all know how Barry reacts to stuff like that happening but I'm kinda shooting in the dark with how Iris would react.

Hope y'all enjoy it.
