The fact is, we already have enough norms. We need powers.


I will try my best to get Mega Man finished today. XD

Bucky has a robotic arm, but he still seems to fall under the 'non-powered' category. Not to mention that Nightwing has gadgets out the wazoo. Both are in peak human condition and are very intelligent. The fact is, we already have enough norms. We need powers.


That'll make things difficult, superpowered canon characters in my experiences have been notorious for messing up things in rps

would you be okay with me using John Carter and just having him be able to have all of his superhuman abilities on earth as well?

Technically he doesn't have any powers. On mars he has super strength and agility, but that's because Edgar Rice Burrough's Mars has lower gravity, so he just seems superhuman compared to the Martians and the Martian atmosphere. On Earth he doesn't have any powers since he's...y'know, an ordinary if skilled human. Also he's unaging, but that might have something to do with astral projecting back and forth from Mars and being reconstituted in an identical body each time.

He's basically an earlier, barbarian-hero stylized version of Adam Strange and his adventures on Raan. He's also like Adam Strange in that putting him in-context on Earth kind of makes him pointless and goes against how the character works, but that's my opinion I guess?

Also just realized that using John Carter at all would likely mean ignoring any parts of the setting involving DC Comics Martians.

Well we can bend his origin a bit since a full metal alchemists character is in this rp

Um...Being in Amestris isn't what MAKES Edward an Alchemist necessarily, and regardless the character is still from his own setting anyways with actual reasons as to both why he's now on our Earth and as to why his Alchemy still works, or at least he's supposed to. If nothing else Alchemy can be considered a type of magic, which exists in our fused DC/Marvel universe already.

In the case of John Carter the ONLY reason he has any powers is because Mars has a different, lighter gravity field than Earth. He doesn't have any powers or a magic system or anything like Ed has. Carter's powers are completely circumstantial, and any human from Earth put on Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars would have them. Putting him on Earth and still having him keep those powers makes absolutely no sense unless you change him to the point where he's John Carter in name only.

It's like saying Superman should still have all of his powers while living on a planet with a red sun. You could maybe do it (and considering the long run history I'm sure someone has done it for Superman) but it goes against the nature of the character and their powers.

This is all for the GM to decide anyways, but the comparison to Ed isn't very valid.

Well, I've had a chance to say my piece about why I think John Carter's powers and location are hard to change while still keeping him John Carter, so how would you want to make him work? It's all the GM's decision anyway.

Well if we're very interested in keeping it as close to canon as possible then it wouldn't work without adding something that is non canon.

Now I have been looking into the golden age superheroes, I think those heroes could work for the rp, I might go with one of them as a character

Sorry it took so long. ^^; But here is our resident super fighting robot!

  • Full name: DLN-001 Rock Light

  • Alias: Mega Man



  • Personality: Due to being modeled after a child, Rock is generally innocent natured and energetic, possessing an inquisitive mind and a usually rather upbeat attitude. He possessed a strong sense of justice, and whilst he is generally pacifistic and dislikes violence he is more than willing to stand up for people in need even if he has to use force against force. Despite how advanced his AI is, Rock technically has no actually free will, and is ultimately bound to his programming. Most notably, he has Asimov's Three Laws coded into him, and is thus unable to bring a human to harm unless it is necessary to prevent other humans from coming to harm, and is incapable of intentionally attempting to kill humans. To him, the preservation of life is so important that he would even through himself into risk of critical damage in order to achieve it, and will not look kindly on those who treat do not respect the right to live. He is especially fond of his family, his "father" Dr. Light and his sister Roll, and will do whatever it takes to protect them from harm.

  • Appearance: Usually, Rock looks like just your average young boy, with messy brown hair and blue eyes. He's almost indistinguishable from a human, really; the only thing that really gives away his robotic nature are his feet, and those can easily be mistaken for unusual footwear. Whilst operating as the super fighting robot Mega Man, his armour consists of what looks like blue and cyan spandex, and a blue helmet. His primary weapon, the Mega Buster, can be generated from either of his hands.


  • Notes: I'm going to be playing Rock as though the Ra Moon arc has yet to happen, mostly because a worldwide shutdown of all electronics would not only be a really major event but would probably inadvertantly kill off several important background characters such as Tony Stark.

    I'm more leinent and if he came up with a way to have john carter simulating mars condition on earth in a way that's logical I would be open to it. After all we have a character who's sole canon appearance was being in an egg. That said good luck pulling that logic loop off.

    All that said, John could be accepted, but it might be smarter to think of someone else instead.

    Also Mega Man is accepted. I'd post up the Ruby Spears Mega Man theme song to celebrate. But I'm being lazy and on my iPhone.

    EDIT: Meh screw it...
