So, ever since that GM post I have been getting loads of inspiration to actually consistently play Red Skull & HYDRA.

Don't hold your breath (with three characters as is, I might be pushing my luck) but maybe it'll turn into something.

Looking forward to the final product. As stated above, I might just focus on the HYDRA stuff myself. It's really tempting.

Bigger question though:

Who has Steve's shield?

| Identity |
Freddy Freeman; Thor

| Thorigin & Backstory |
1984-2003 ÂĄ Beginnings
A beautiful child was born in 1984, christened Frederick Freeman Junior. In the upper middle class, he grew up with his parents, watching relatively little television compared to others at the time. At five years old he was too young to understand that his parents were getting a divorce. It was as though his world had been split in two. In the end, his father gained full custody, while his mother took many of their belongings and left, rarely to be heard from again for several years.

Freddy made a name for himself in middle school, applying natural talent and incorruptible willpower to the task of proving he was worth something. In the ultimate telegraphing of his worth, he tried out for football, basketball, and every other major sport available. Having a limited amount of free time, bound by his own mortality, he had to choose a sport. He chose basketball.

Despite dominating the competition and inspiring his team to victory, he quit the team and left for tennis. Tennis? Yes, tennis. Despite seeming arbitrary and unnecessary, he truly flourished in the new path. He'd even been contacted by a celebrity player who was making a trip to Fawcett City, Oklahoma. They played a surprisingly long match, in which Freddy performed well beyond the pro's expectations. In the end, footage hosted on Youtube caught the attention of college scouts nationwade.

At sixteen years old, his routine was derailed by a fishing trip to Yellowstone Park. He and his grandfather were having a delightful conversation when a sudden purple emmission of power threw his grandfather into the waters and himself a good distance the other way. It was a mutant attack, in which a fugitive attempted escape by making pursuit the least attractive option to authorities. The true aftermath was this: Freddy had become a paraplegic and his grandpa had drowned after suffering of a punctured kidney.

Freddy's father was informed that he'd been tossed into a tree with damage so severe it would be a miracle for him to ever walk again. For a long time, even when he was conscious, he'd stare silently at the television. Watching interesting people do amazing things. Just watching though, he could hardly breathe, let alone walk.

When he was discharged, he immediately set down the hard road to recovery. Despite trebulation in his abdomen, he managed to perform a single crunch. Before long, his upper body was in phenomonal condition thanks to his own regimen and devotion. Lastly, he decided to go back to sports. Finally capable of moving by his own power, he entered a championship for the disabled in which he played basketball.

2004-2005 ÂĄ The Mighty Thor
One day, after a particularly difficult game, Freddie wandered away from the court. What he found was one of the longest lines of cars, trucks, and motorcycles he'd ever seen. It took him quite some time, but he eventually he made his way to the front of the line. At it's face was a thong of dedicated men attempting to tug an item out of the ground. He reasoned it must be connected to a concrete pad or something to that effect, because not even the applied torque of a semi-truck would pluck it from its resting place.

When the truck driver was wrapping up and getting ready to leave, Freddy wheeled himself in there, despite the snickering and comments about him being in a wheelchair. Yet with the greatest of ease, he withdrew it from the ground. The gathered crowd could hardly take a breath; he'd done what was thought impossible.

Once he held it, his look of awe swept over the words engraved on its side. Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor. Unsure what would happen, he saw the crowd rush him. During those same instances of observation, he felt his muscles harden and his body become stronger. Jittering at the same time out of fright, he spun around before attempting to wheel himself away from the approaching swarm. The hammer in his lap, he found strength to escape those embarrassed pursuers trailing him.

Finally making it back to the basketball court, he took a moment to gather his thoughts before setting the puzzling hammer on the ground. At that moment, his body was snatched away by a chain of lightning, in its place was the form of the old god Thor! Instantly noticing the blonde mane as it whipped in a wind, Freddy lurched out of his wheelchair before smacking against the pavement of the basketball court. Despite this, he felt no pain. Incredibly he could stand up without lamely slithering back to the chair. Freeman reached out for an explanation before he remembered what was now obvious to him.

He was the god Thor, whose body had been encased within the hammer Mjolnir to teach him humility after risking the lives of many Asgardians and displaying the most disgusting pride. Instead, he'd be taught an example by one who was worthy to use his power, getting a first-person perspective while he himself would be capable of saying nothing.

It mattered little now though. Picking up the hammer, Freeman took flight around the city. Having found no obvious wrongs to right, he made his way to a bar known for its quality and smooth taste. Here, upon hearing a man harassing a nurse named Jane Foster, he began a bar fight for her honor. As one would expect, Thor was the clear winner.

But a vengeful trickster god met the grudge-holding loser to make a deal. Crusher Creel would become the Absorbing Man. Waiting at the bar to ambush the thunderer, he called for a rematch before leveling the space. In the end, Thor won because of Freddy's determination and ingenuity. Claiming glass to be a weakness, he convinced Crusher to experiment against his better judgement before shattering across the wide scene of wreckage at the god's hand.

He would also be challenged by the psychic alien catterpillar Mr Mind who attacked vicariously through his society of monster henchman in an ongoing war. With sporadic attacks from Doctor Sivana probing the god for a weakness before he can overtake the tri-state area, Thor is kept busy to this day trying to keep Fawcett safe from the menagerie of monsters, mutant, and his mastermind stepbrother.

| Attributes |
Mjolnir
A hammer forged within the heart of a dying star, it is made from Uru, a mystical metal belonging mostly to the Asgardians. If the hammer judges an individual worthy, he is granted the powers of Thor. In fact, the body and soul of the thunderer are sealed within the hammer so that whoever wields the weapon may take on Thor's body and soul while retaining his own heart and soul in control. In order to initiate the change, the user must stamp the top of the hammer against the ground.

Additionally, the hammer is nearly indestructible, making it useful for the deflection of weapons and projectiles. Making its use as a shield even easier is an enchantment allowing it to create fields. It can also create a gravitational pull, manipulate electro-magnetism, summon winds, and produce mystically charged blasts. In cases of dire need, it can resort to firing the concentrated life force of Thor himself.

Thor's Physiology
Thor is the strongest of the Asgardian gods, besting all baseline humans without contest. Also of note is his superhuman durability, resistance to 'magic', martial skill, bravery, and speed. When he applies himself, he displays superhuman hearing, smell, and sight. His crowning achievement is his trademark golden hair as it hangs from his head, looking fierce even though it reaches the length of his chin.

| Character Notes |
The Absorbing Man - Crusher Creel - Rogue
Crusher was a generally unlikable boxer who frequented bars in Fawcett City, Oklahoma. Despite having machine guns for arms, his easily exploitable weakness was his glass jaw. For this reason he was damned to eternal loserdom and could usually be found at the bottom of some dried up bottle chasing skirts. One particular instance of this resulted in him brawling a Norse god, after which he was humiliated and had to spend weeks in recovery. During the period he was healing, he was met by Loki, who offered him a potion to facilitate mutual vengeance. As a result he gained the ability to absorb other materials and replace his skin. He ambushed Thor before being deceived into literally gaining a glass jaw.


Asgard - Location
The home of the Asgardians located above Midgard and connected by the Bifrost. It is here where Odin reigns from the eponymous capitol city. It rests on a planetoid as a whole and has a great variety of shops and homes where the Asgardians rest and work, sometimes among other species.


Doctor Sivana - Character
A brilliant inventor intent on overtaking the tri-state area with one scheme after another. The short scientist packs a surprising punch and is phenomenally well educated, making progress in the realms of biological, chemical, mechanical, thermodynamic, chronological, and every other sort of engineering.


Fawcett City - Location
Fawcett City, Oklahoma is an American City that has long been exposed to the influences of magic. In fact, in Fawcett the age of the superhero never stopped thanks to a culturally divisive spell cast around the city's borders that protected it from the world's moral degeneration for a long while, having recently been broken. As a result the city resembles the 1950s in many ways despite having modern technology and media streamed to them. A staple of the local scene is WHIZ radio, contributed to by the youth generation. Passersby will generally be curtious, very few of the populace are ever rude, however an influx of rude and evil influences have tainted the area. It's only going downhill from here as best the police force can tell.


The Guardians of the Universe - Characters
The Asgardian relationship to the Oans is vague and distant. While their Lanterns intrude in spaces throughout the Cosmos and generally are prepared for danger, years of brief, violent encounters have convinced the authoritarian imps that entering without warning or invitation is a very bad idea. Despite this, the Guardians insist on investigating deicide whenever possible out of their totalitarian sense of justice.


Loki - Character
The stepbrother of Thor, fellow son of Odin, and secret traitor to the Asgardian people. It is his wish to rule Asgard and become a beloved king. Standing in his way has always been the thunderer, therefore one way or another Loki has been manipulating events to turn Thor away from his father's favor and away from the throne.


Mister Mind - Character
A telepathic alien worm from Venus, Mister Mind is a murderer who had slain many of his fellow people and intends to do the same to humanity so he will be free to consume the Earth one day. Aiming to remove the world's protectors, he has been using a society of monsters to probe for weaknesses, and one day he will exploit them until they are little more than slugs rolled in salt.


Olympus - Location
The home of the Greek Gods, parallel to Asgard and cannot easily be accessed directly from Asgard. In general the Asgardians have little reason to visit the place. But rivalry and seeking assistance has led to occasional visits.


Olympians - Characters
Odin primarily holds a distaste for Zeus, therefore any comradery or fraternizing is discouraged. Both groups of immortals have taken to no longer being worshipped by humans. Therefore each faction deals with their own affairs in general.


Shazam - Character
A wizard who trumps all others, Shazam is powerful enough to give cause for fear to any deity. Fortunately he generally stays at the rock of eternity. Despite pleas otherwise, the meddling old man has siphoned the strength of the Asgardians and forced them into scenarios they would have avoided entirely were they acting of their own will.


| Character Goals |
I wanted to approach Captain Marvel, but do it differently than either [@Andy C] or @Bounce. Rather than taking that perfectly respectable path, I made it possible to still play Captain Marvel without really touching that lore yet. Instead, I took his successor, and homed in on Marvel's Norse mythology. My inspiration is largely from what I've read of Freddy Freeman in the comics, Faust's introductory video to CMJ, The Multiversity's Thunderworld, and various animated/cinematic appearances of Thor. All in all, I intend to have humor, action, fantasy, sci-fi, and a hanging sense of adventure as Freddy tries to find himself.

The GM's are discussing both of the Thor sheets we have been given, but I must remind people of this rule that I did not setup for vanity reasons:

Legacies (NPCs, sidekicks, rogues) fall under the jurisdiction of the hero they are traditionally designed around. If you want to play The Joker, The Batman player has to be okay with it and your information should never contradict what they have written in their CS. This one is malleable, but again—communicate.

There can be exceptions to this rule if thoroughly explained (see: Gowi's White Tiger, Morden Man's Captain America), but I'm having trouble with thinking it is as thoroughly explained from what we have been given for Thor.
