I also thought Thor was more of a JL fit in this world. Had I gone that route, that's how I would have played him.

If I went Thor, I'd be too tempted to make him "Superman with a different paint job." And I wanna distance myself from that.

@AndyC

I respect that.

I mean really the compositions of the teams isn't that important, as I'm sure there'll be some crossover and if need be the Avengers can always recruit and if it comes to be important to the story then NPCs can always be used.

[Dead Cruiser]

Really I think it's more because Thor is probably the Avengers equivalent to Wonder Woman.

The Avengers in this world would probably be something closer to the Dark Avengers, being an explicitly government run and funded superhero team.

Avengers full of S.H.I.E.L.D plants

@Dead Cruiser

Honestly in comics, if you go the OG lineup Thor is easily their equivalent of Superman. People quite often sleep on his power levels, especially in recent years.

In terms of the Avengers being like the Dark Avengers I see it. I mean I think the thing is you really need to define a difference in the two groups in games like this, as if both are private... what's the point?

[Ever Faithful]

I wonder how President Superman and Captain America would meet. Since Steve Rogers grew up in 1930s and 40s America, it's quite the eye opener

I'm sure myself and @John Table will hash those deets out.

Can't believe nobody's applied for racist Cap in one of these games yet. Get on it, people

@Sep

I think we can draw the line between the two as, like:

If you are a superhero and want to do it for a living, you join the Avengers. A paycheck, benefits, insurance, but you have to register with the US government and are ultimately at their beck and call.

The Justice League is pretty different, and is more like a secret society of superheroes. You have to be invited to join, and its membership are more along the lines of aliens, demigods, etc, whose concerns are outside the scope of world governments.

@Dead Cruiser

Register with the United Nations. S.H.I.E.L.D is a global peacekeeping taskforce. Technically speaking President Supes isn't Caps boss.

JL is just @Master Bruce paying people to be his friends.

Unless you're a member of a Cosmic Law Enforcement Agency...

@Ever Faithful

Fate grew up in 1910s England. I actually plan on his, shall we say, problematic past being a part of his character. He was literally one of the Black-and-Tans before he got his powers.

@Sep

Maybe we need a fictional history for each org.

My idea is like... Avengers were formed as an unofficial alliance of Allied superheroes in WWII. Later grandfathered into SHIELD following the formation of the United Nations.

The Justice League was originally the Justice Society of America, and was also formed after WWII by the likes of Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Carter Hall, etc. Membership changes and bankrolling from Wayne changed it from basically a drinking club for veteran superheroes into the global defense alliance it is today as the Justice League.

@Cybermaxx

I did encounter someone in the past who applied as Captain Confederacy in a setting that took place in Maine. That was the closest thing to a racist Captain America and no one wanted to deal with that in the North

Eh nothing I wrote clashes with that. Just trying to give them some depth, provide a reason someone might join one team over the other.

I mean, kind of clashes with the Established in 2010 and 2012 part of the sheets.

@Dead Cruiser

Avengers didn't exist during WWII. The Howling Commandos and Defenders did, as did the JSA.

Argus was the successor to the S.S.R, which is the secret science/secret agent type people. S.H.I.E.L.D is formed in the 50s due to increased political tensions as a public international peacekeeping initiative. They recruited super-powered individuals, similar to Howling Commandos style throughout the Cold War and into the modern age.

They have actually worked with the JL on several occasions prior to the Avengers forming, which only happened after some political backlash against the JL.

GR's gonna play this at top volume outside of Fate's tower to annoy him.
