Uncanny Avengers iCheck [STILL Need 1 Avenger!]

[Omega Man]

In the beginning...

The Uncanny Avengers were formed some time after the events of A vs X [or Avengers vs X-Men] to try and bridge the gap between mutants and average humans by actively recruiting more mutants into the Avengers. The initial line up had Captain America [Steve Rogers] letting Cyclops' brother Havoc take the field leader role with Scarlet Witch, Rogue, Thor, and Wolverine. Later on the group would gain another mutant in Sunfire, as well as Wonder Man and the Wasp. The team mostly fought against the Red Skull. In the flagship Avengers team, the group gained mutant members Sunspot, Cannonball, and Manifold.

After some time, the original team was replaced with a new group with the current Capt. America [Falcon]. It included the Vision, Rogue returning once more as well as Scarlet Witch, with new additions in the form of Quicksilver, Sabretooth, and Brother Voodoo.

Jump ahead to where the team stands today. Now, Old Man Steve [Rogers] still fights the good fight after being aged a few decades in a reality altering adventure and wants to see this team push forward. Now along with Spiderman, the Human Torch, Brother Voodoo, Rogue, Synapse, Deadpool, Quicksilver, and Cable the team fights on.

--------------------------------

Got all that? If not, if you only know like 3 characters from above, then THAT'S why I want to out-do all of that mess. I'm a super-geek when it comes to the stuff, and to me none of the teams really had any mph. What I hope to get with this game [that will mostly be some form of cannon characters] is a couple Avengers and a few mutants from the X-Teams and maybe one original hero that can be mutant or other. Our mission, depending on our team, will be determined by the older Steve Rogers who's now inactive in the field. What would happen if folks like Magneto, Iceman, Colossus, and Banshee fought alongside Avengers like Captain Marvel [formerly Ms. Marvel], Black Widow, and Hawkeye?

Other than Old Man Steve I've no clue what types of heroes will show up in this. I generally can't stand Deadpool or Wolverine, so the less CS's for those two the better. Also be as original as you can with your Character Sheets, I hope nobody just copy/pastes something from a wiki somewhere. None of the previous history matters, I just explained the evolution of the team for anybody that finds that kind of thing interesting. I usually like to know what's come before in terms of history myself. Roles needing filled are as follows:

[field leader, mutant or other]
[powerhouse Avenger]
[secondary Avenger]
[mutant]
[mutant]
[mutant]
[wildcard, mutant or other]
[original, mutant or other]

^^^^ I'll fill whatever space with my character I need to. I'll give everyone interested first dibs. You can go ahead and show your interest and post WIP sheets here if you'd like. Character Sheets MUST include but are not limited to:

Name - [secret ID]
Alias - [super code-name]
Age -
Powers -
Weaknesses -
Previous Affiliation - [which Avengers team or X-Team did you come from?]
Personality - [three words that best describe your hero]
Appearance - [description or image]
Brief Bio - [Don't get long winded or assume everyone is using every bit of cannon material. Characters themselves have to be cannon, not their histories...]
Notes - [your character different than the cannon in any major ways?]
Sample Post - [About a paragraph with a little dialog! Just so I know you can give the character their own voice...]

--------------------------------

If there's enough interest I'll try and finish fleshing out any plots in terms of who we'll be facing off against and why. I don't think it'll be somebody as big as the Red Skull, but maybe a group like the Serpent Society or a new player in Latveria trying to take over in Doom's absence. I'm sure we'll think of something. Now where are all of the Marvel Zombies hiding?

~KL~

[Sophrus]

I like this idea, I'm not as well versed in marvel Canon as I'm sure many players will be. But I really like it.

I'll work on some ideas prolly try for a CS tomorrow night or Tuesday.

Edit- oh, I didn't see that the character had to be canon, I'll give it a think, but I'm not so sure.

[Omega Man]

One character slot, possibly also the wildcard, will be for at least an original or two!

~KL~

[Omega Man]

Bump!

While mostly cannons will be in play, you're free to reinterpret them however you'd like within reason...

Black Panther

Name: T'Challa
Alias: The Black Panther
Age: 22 years of age.
Gender: Male
Role: Field Leader
Previous Affiliation: Formerly, he was a part of the Avengers.
Power(s):

Click

After rigorous training for the majority of his rather fulfilling life, T'Challa has since achieved peak human ability within his body. Only after eating the heart-shaped herb, has his body transcended peak human ability, and has since transcended into superhuman limits. His strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes, and healing are all at superhuman levels, allowing him to perform feats and accomplish things that no human could ever hope to match.

His strength allows him to throw fully grown men with absolute ease, tear metal asunder with his bare hands, and even go physical blow to blow with superhuman foes. His speed, endurance, and agility are both likewise enhanced, with T'Challa being able to attack faster than the eye can see, and even blitz trained gunmen before they could pull the trigger. T'Challa's agility, balance, flexibility, dexterity, and bodily coordination are the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. His reflexes are so efficient that he can dodge and deflect point blank gun fire, and dodge bullets from machine guns and sniper rifles.

T'Challa is able to regenerate injured tissue and brain cells to an extraordinary degree, heal broken bones, torn muscles, but is unable to regenerate missing limbs or organs. He is immune to all Earthly diseases, infections and disorders, impervious to gas attacks, poisons, and nerve-toxins of any kind and completely resistant to diseases. Similarly, T'Challa's skin, bone, and muscle tissues are augmented to levels that are considerably stronger and harder than humans.

T'Challa can see with greater clarity and greater distances than an ordinary human. His vision extends into the ultraviolet and infrared areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing him to see in near-total darkness and retain the same level of clarity. T'Challa's hearing is similarly enhanced, enabling him to detect sounds normal humans can't and sounds they ordinarily could but at much greater distances. T'Challa can memorize tens of thousands of scents. His sense of smell enables him to recognize people/objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. He can track a target by scent and track them to the exact location, can smell fear, and detect if someone is lying by change in body odor. T'Challa's sense of taste is sensitive to the point that he is able to taste the exact ingredients of any particular food he is eating.

Skills:

Click

A polymath super genius with a photographic memory, T'Challa is young, but incredibly smart, already ranking as one of the eight smartest people on Earth. He already has three PhDs in different subjects from Oxford University, and his genius is recognized by some of the greatest minds in these day and age. Because of his sharp brain and experience with leading the Wakanda Military, T'Challa is a genius tactician, strategist, and leader, and will continue to develop these skills as he grows older. He was taught tactics and strategies in his youth by his father who encouraged him to always think two steps ahead of his enemies and three steps ahead of his friends.

As far as combat goes, T'Challa has been groomed to be a warrior from birth. An expert in almost all forms of armed and unarmed combat, and a master of all martial arts including African and unknown forms. He is an expert of stealth, disguise, ambush, etc. Due to his already prodigious ability, and his limitless potential, he has been recognized and is highly respected by some of the world's best heroes and villains, despite his very young age. His abilities allows him to defeat other strong beings in both one vs one, and group combat, with T'Challa attacking in a frenzy of dangerous moves and techniques. He uses a mixture of animal mimicry, and a melting pot of other dangerous martial art forms when he fights. This, combined with his dangerous equipment, truly makes T'Challa a lethal opponent.

Equipment:

Click

The Black Panther suit is made of a vibranium microweave mesh. It can negate and/or lessen powerful kinetic based attacks such as bullets shots, penetrating blades, and crushing blows. The lenses in the mask cuts visual glare, and enhances the Panther's natural night vision. The lenses also allows him to see in infra-red and other visual spectrum.

The golden, retractable claws in the gloves and boots are made of Antarctic Vibranium-based "Anti-Metal" that can break down basically all metals at the molecular level. The claws also have the ability to emit small energy blades from the tip, as well as launch them as projectiles [See above image].

Energy regulators creates varying fields from the Vibranium in the molded soles of the boots of his suit, enabling Panther to survive a fall of incredible heights and land like a cat. The Panther can also scale walls or skim across water with the boots. The field can be also used offensively to shatter or weaken objects, or defensively to rob incoming objects of their momentum.

T'Challa also possess vibranium energy daggers;; an ornate hilt carved of ivory, connected to an energy-generated blade that can be set to stun or kill. The energy blades can be handled like either a physical knife or fired like darts, and regenerated repeatedly. They can also be shaped into other various weapons like a spear, by connecting the knives by the hilts.

The cloak connected to his suit can be elongated, shortened or eliminated with a thought, and the entire costume can be covered by the cloak, which can then be digitally transformed into everday clothes.

T'Challa also has the Kimoyo Card within his possession, an extremely powerful and versatile PDA. It functions similarly to the SHIELD's communicards, but with many more practical applications.

Personality: Calm, focused, intelligent.

History: The advanced and prosperous nation of Wakanda...Glorious, prosperous, and ruled by the almighty and skilled T'Chaka. A military commander, the King of the Nation, and the then powerful and prodigious Black Panther, the man obviously had a lot going for him. When there was signs of his wife being pregnant with his first and only son, the one and only T'Challa, he was overjoyed, finally having a worthy heir to his golden throne. His duties as the Black Panther was finally relinquished, in favour of fully committing his time to serving his Nation, and raising his son to be the best of the best - to eventually take over his legacy. As it was, this was how T'Challa was raised - as the best of the best. Born to be a warrior, king, and hero, T'Challa was put to the test as soon as it became physically efficient to do so. Exercise, conditioning, weaponry training, unarmed training, educational tutoring;; it was all gone over and nailed into the young prodigy's head, with hardly any playtime. Sure, he had peace of mind - fitful rests and a luxurious life whenever he was not training, but other than that, life was very stressful - only the natural duty of protection that T'Challa possessed kept him from burning out.

Due to his training and skill, T'Challa took his own Rite of Passage at the young age of ten, sent out to roam the land in search of his own inner peace. As he explored the wilderness, over the months, T'Challa kept up his training - now a routine that his body instinctively does, while also meeting interesting and dangerous characters throughout his journey. Months turned to two years, and eventually, T'Chaka sent out scouts to find, track, and bring home his son. They found T'Challa within the unscouted wilderness North of Wakanda, deep within the jungle, accompanied by two large, wild black panthers. The boy only wielded a rudimentary spear and two daggers, all forged out of a durable and sharp metal that was quite common within the caves near Wakanda. He was eating the carcass of a sabre-tooth tiger - the Wakanda soldiers couldn't even approach the campfire, in fear of the growling panthers that seemed quite ready to rip out their throats. Eventually, T'Challa came back with the scouts, and was debriefed by his father, who was both proud and angry at his son for taking so long. The councilmen of the Wakanda Government saw fit to test T'Challa survival skills within the rings, to see if he truly gained the killer instinct and inner peace he seemed to have developed whilst within the wilds. The thirteen year old promptly defeated, with extreme efficiency, all of the competitors, be it if they grouped on him, or if it was simply a fair, one vs one duel. They were grown men - soldiers of the Wakanda army, and a child managed to defeat them. Although humbled, they were proud of their prince, and after the fights were over, T'Challa was praised within the Halls. Time passed, and his life continued in it's destined direction.

Now within his teenage years, T'Challa took a break from the Kingdom and his constant training, to visit the American continent, on political immunity. There, he met major government officials with his father, and made many allies with his maturity and natural intelligence. Of course, assassins were sent his way, but with both his personal guards and his own skills, each assassin was defeated promptly, and either killed or arrested. In the American lands, T'Challa visited many different universities, expanding his already broad knowledge in different areas and subjects, but eventually, he settled down in Oxford University, learning many different arts and sciences, before finally earning his own PhD - and then, coming back only a year later to earn two more in other subjects. This feat, documented and praised, was something virtually unheard of, surpassing even Tony Stark's own record by a few years. While the technological genius, Stark, graduated a university at the age of seventeen, T'Challa finished three different PhDs at the age of fifteen, before going back to his country and leaving the American press impressed and awed.

It was at this point in his life, that tragedy began to rear it's ugly head. His father was murdered, in cold blood, by a man known as 'Klaw'. A long-time enemy to the Wakanda throne. It was done over a battle about the extremely rare metal known as 'Vibranium', located only within Wakanda itself. Struck by grief and mourning, T'Challa allowed his mother to take temporary reign of the country, whilst he took ample time to grieve, before training himself even harder, with one goal in mind - vengeance. He left Wakanda for a couple of years, extending his training to many different countries and nations throughout the world, while his country waited patiently for the Prince to return. Eventually, he did, and committed himself to the journey of the King. To find the sacred Heart-Shaped herb, and become the Black Panther, and the King of his Tribe. He was eighteen years old, and completely ready for the task. Whilst searching, he was captured by an army of A.I.M. soldiers, an organized group of international science-terrorists, angered and frustrated by the Wakanda's constant rejection towards funding their inhumane experiments. Whilst imprisoned, T'Challa was going to be executed by his once dear friend, whom changed his mind at the last minute and helped the young Prince with escaping. Joined together, they utilized stealth and ambush tactics to completely eviscerate the A.I.M. army, who then retreated from the unknown adversaries, leaving behind the herb that they had found and kept hidden away - the one that would grant T'Challa what he was destined for. As he brought the herb back to his camp, he was going to consume the herb, only to be sneak-attacked by the Black Panther of the time, an unknown adversary. His former comrade that helped him defeat the A.I.M. soldiers had went back to Wakanda to confess for his crimes, and so, T'Challa defeated the Black Panther on his own, as it should have been, before taking his rightful spot as the new Black Panther.

He returned to Wakanda, to enormous applause, and a nation-wide parade and celebration in his honor. The new King of Wakanda, and the new Black Panther. There, his life of being a King, and a hero to mankind, began.

Theme Song: Iron

Other/Notes: T'Challa is a young man of 6'2", weighing in at 210lbs. He has a noticeable accent, but his English and grammar are both immaculate, and his accent only adds character, without making his speech garbled or confusing.

[Larfleeze]

I'm very close to deciding to go for a fusion of Danny Rand and Matt Murdock with undercover connections to the Yakuza. I'll decide in the morning...

[Mr_pink]

Hi again! Interested, claiming Moon Knight.

[Omega Man]

All kinds of interest now! Awesome. Remember though guys I've only got room for a few Avengers and will be looking for X-Men related characters to push the whole 'unity' thing and bridging the gap between X-Men and Avengers. So have an alternate or two in mind!

I'm thinking some form of Banshee myself. Other than Archangel in another RP it's been awhile since I've had somebody who could fly.

Black Panther could work on the team and was somebody I'd hoped would get taken, IDK about a solid black Avenger and a solid white mentally unstable Moon Knight on the same team though LOL

Let's keep tossing ideas around, we'll see what sticks...

[Divine Darkness]

Bump!

While mostly cannons will be in play, you're free to reinterpret them however you'd like within reason...

@The Kid Lantern

Could we possibly take a traditionally non-mutant character and make them a mutant for this game? Or vise-versa?

[knighthawk]

I'd like to use my knee-jerk OC mutant. he seems mary sue, but he's more jack-of all trades.

Name:
Magnus Wagner
Code Name:
Bamf
Age:
25
Gender:
Male, very male
Appearance:
5'6" with a very lean Bruce-Lee frame. On his chest is tattooed an Egyptian cartouche that reads "He will serve the end of the world for a year and a day" On his right hand he has L O K I on his first knuckles.

Taught never to rely on any one thing, he keeps a number of tools on hand at all times.
Tanto Located on his left pectoral with a kevlar mesh sheath as an extra measure of defense from heart-shots.
Ninjato Kept on left hip.
Grenades: Never keeping more than two on him at any time in uniform after hearing the story of his grandfather pulling the pins of a dozen soldiers at once. Chaff-nonmagnetic metal flakes meant to scramble electronic measures, Knocker-compressed microfine Metal powder used to blow open door with high kinetic output or stun multiple organic opponents
throwing irons As designed, but his are hollow and fluted with multiple tiny holes to ensure a sucking wound to let an opponent bleed out if organic or hydraulic if he can land the right shot. Kept on his person on a thigh holster even out of uniform.
Sling: Simple kevlar thong used to hurl a simple fiberglass sphere with enough force to break bone, When he slips a thread through the ring of a grenade, it becomes a twofold weapon to launch the five pound weapon to impact before exploding. This he also keeps on a pocket with a hard rubber ball in civilian attire.
Uniform: A class A-III fabric armor in the make of a body suit with impact plastics Velcro atop. Can withstand up to .357 at point blank with only broken bones. He also has the same material available as a denim jacket and blue jeans for undercover/civilian wear

Powers:
Physical mutation: His physiology is unique in several different ways. His bone structure allows him great flexibility. His spine is more flexible than an ordinary human, enabling him to remain in a crouched position for a long time and perform contortionist-type feats without causing any damage to his spine. Bamf's balance and bodily coordination are all enhanced to superhuman levels. He also possesses superhuman dexterity, being able to manipulate items and fence with either hand and his tail. He lacks his fathers prehensile feet but does have five fingers and toes that let him pass for human easier. He has a prehensile tail, allowing him to grab onto objects with relative ease. His tail is strong enough to not only support his body weight, but also lift an adult man completely off the ground at the same time, and is deft enough to fight with while holding a sword or blunt object. His eyes (which are constantly washed in black) grant him a marked degree of heightened night vision.

Wall crawling: Where his father could blend into the shadows by warping light, he can stick to shadows by an instinctive connection to the home dimension of his father and grandfather. This allows him to fight in a third dimension most others lack but also means he can not cling to an activated ceiling light for example beyond his physical strength.
SKILLS
Trained in the formal art of Ninjutsu by psylocke, he puts his mutant physiology to best use as an infiltrator. He has been taught how to consciously filter out the lightest levels of psychic invasion.

Magic(k): While a weak skill now, it is to note he keeps a store of occult books and the like, some real, some just to piss his dad off. His superhuman dexterity makes the sleight of hand as easy as breathing but he does also practice a few practical incantations like sewing glyphs into all of his clothes so they will put themselves away.
Personality:
For the most part he is happy go lucky to hide his pain of loosing all the life he had ever known. He has always had a fascination with sleight of hand and stage magic, On quiet nights he loves to curl up with horrible kung-fu movies and a plate of sushi to pass the time away whenever a girl isn't available. Even being the prodigal son of two great mutants and the grandson of even greater mutants he is still a physical mutant, he can never pass in normal society. As such he has a deep seeded hate for 'pretty' mutants who can pass by unseen and will bend over backwards, literally, for those who cant hide themselves. Where his father was a devout Catholic, Magnus has always carried a despise for the church's position on mutants to the point he is a vocal follower of Loki, a 'real god' of Asgard that has put many a hero of earth on their heels.
History:
In another time and another place the mutants lost at Alcatraz. It became a campaign of slaughter on a planet wide level, In that reality, Kurt wagner and wanda maximoff had a child who was born in bloodshed and forced to fight from the time of a child, in time it became evident that they wouldn't survive so they went to the oldest and most powerful enemy they knew, Apocalypse. They agreed to become his newest horsemen if he got their son to safety, The first mutant agreed and sent the teenager to a reality whose other Aubin-sur matched his own temperament and psychic harmonics. The new Apocalypse understood what had been done with a simple letter tattooed int the boys chest, and handed the boy over to Xaviers school anonymously. This Xavier knew the boys past and did all he could to try and help heal a lifetime of war, but healing can't be done if it is unwanted. For years he studied at the academy and learned his lessons to master his powers so they didn't master him but there was too much ill will in his heart to be a member of the x-men so he jumed at the chance to become an avenger.

Note: Magnus has a fear of heights/falling from a failed attempt to teleport that broke his spine, resulting in two of his bones to have to be fused to let him walk again.

悪魔拳

Name - Mark Hirose a.k.a Josefumi Hirose

Alias -
Devil Fist in the US
Akuma Ken in Japan

Age - 28

Powers -

Superhuman Senses

• Superhuman Touch: Mark's sense of touch is so acute that he can feel the minute impressions of ink on a piece of paper, allowing him to read by touch alone.
• Superhuman Smell: Mark's sense of smell can be used to track a single person by their scent, or to notice traces of a substance on anything. His sense of smell also enables him to remember a person by their unique natural odour alone.
• Superhuman Hearing: Not only is Mark's hearing so powerful he is able to hear a person's heartbeat from a long distance, he is also able to control his hearing acuity, meaning that it is possible for him to block out any sound he does not need to concentrate on.
• Lie Detection: As a side effect of his other senses, Mark can tell whether a person is lying to him by their sweat or heartbeats. Though this ability can be rendered ineffective by a pacemaker or if the person is able to keep calm under pressure.
• Superhuman Taste: Mark's sense of taste allows him to detect and recognise any ingredient of anything he tastes, provided that there is at least twenty milligrams of said ingredient present.
• Radar Sense: Although Mark is completely blind, his abilities compensate for this by bestowing upon him a form of Echolocation via low wave projection, in which an unknown form of energy is sent outwards from certain regions of his brain before bouncing off everything around him and returning to those same regions. With this mysterious ability, Mark has a synthesized version of regular human sight, extremely close to the original thing, albeit everything being is a shade of red.

Chi Manipulation

• Chi Manipulation: The Iron Fist grants Mark with many abilities that he has possibly not yet learned, such as channelling his chi into a ranged weapon, such as a gun or bow, to increase its striking capabilities
• Iron Fist Punch: By summoning his chi and focusing it into his hands, he make his fists inhumanly powerful and super humanly resistant to injury and pain on a superhuman scale. This "iron fist" technique does not involve a physical transformation of any kind, simply a psychic channelling of concentrated natural energy. With his fists in this state, Mark can shatter wood and brick, rip through steel, and punch his opponents with extraordinary concussive force without sustaining injury to himself.

Weaknesses -

• Blindness: Mark is totally blind. While his abilities help him overcome this, it becomes a problem for him to navigate and fight when his heightened senses are scrambled or can't detect anything.
• Sound and Smell Peak: Mark's superhuman senses render him extraordinarily vulnerable to odours and/or excessive noise, which can temporarily weaken his Radar Sense. Under extreme circumstances he can be easily immobilized, suffer great pain and/or left disorientated.

Previous Affiliation - New Avengers

Personality - Attentive, Friendly, Persistent.

Appearance - Mark is a 5ft 7in male with a muscular physique and an olive complexion. His hair is a dark black and matches to some extent with his dark blue eyes. As he is of biracial descent his facial features are a mix of Caucasian and East Asian, with the majority being the latter.

Not So Brief Bio - Not So Brief Bio - Mark Hirose was born in Tokyo to a Caucasian American mother, and a Japanese father. Apart from the occasional childhood teasing about his heritage, Mark lived a relatively normal life up until the age of nine. As a young Mark was crossing the street with his mother, a Roxxon Oil & Chemical truck caused a traffic collision. The accident resulted in hazardous chemicals splashing into his eyes, with Mark's mother losing her life. Soon the chemicals began to affect his eyes, rendering him blind, with the last thing he saw being his mother.

Mark later woke up in a local hospital to a deafening orchestra of crying infants, thunderous heartbeats, and stomping feet. Immediately, Mark attempted to croak out for his mother, only for the dry, sandpapery texture of his own voice to make him cringe in pain, the incredibly loud sound forcing his eardrums to strain spectacularly. It was, at this time, that he realized something. Something that he hadn't noticed in the initial panic of waking up in an unfamiliar place. Everything was pure blackness. He could not see a single thing around him, and despite his young age, Mark knew what 'blindness' was. He read about it in Science class not too long ago. He couldn't see. He was...He was...

He was being held by somebody, as tears struggled to escape the snug bandages wrapped around his eyes. Soft murmurs of Japanese was being sung into his ears, and although he could not see, Mark automatically knew it was his father. The man's scent was familiar - a deep, metallic tang that came from the man's constant working in the industrial districts. The slightly faster than normal breaths the man took due to the slight damage his lungs had taken from smog and rust. It was all familiar, and as he cried over things that a child should never have to experience, Mark clung to his only lifeline.

Time passed, and Mark never spoke of his heightened senses - some would even say that he had a good handle on the enhanced hearing, smell, and touch, and it even helped him out within life. Once, he was in the bathroom at school, and heard, from practically a mile away, the sound of Shiro, a schoolyard bully a few years older, planning to give him a swirlie. As soon as the loud boy 'quietly' snuck into the bathroom and was about to grab him from behind, Mark turned, slamming his walking stick into the boy's ankle, sending him to the ground, before swinging wildly in the direction he heard the sounds of breathing coming from - hopefully the bully's backup. They all ran away, yelling about the crazy blind kid, and Mark sighed, finishing up with his handwashing.

In this day and age, however, good things came to an end. His dad had taken out a lot of shady loans due to the economic failure within Japan during the 1990s, and the high budget losses his industrial company was beginning to suffer. It caught up to him, and Mark could still remember the day that they busted into their apartment with a shotgun and katana, before stabbing his dad through the heart. "The K'un Lun-kai pays their dues." The man with the slicked back hair stated calmly, and gave Mark, shell-shocked and gripping his walking stick, a wink. The boy waited until they left, before peeling off towards his dad's cold, bleeding body, sobbing as he collapsed over the man's corpse. First, his mother, and now his father.

This tragic incident forced Mark into an orphanage. His father's death also pushed his control over his enhanced senses into a downwards spiral. While at the Orphanage, he was visited by an old man named Orson Randall passing through Japan.
The Old Man promised to train Mark to control and master his "gift" and took Mark under his wing. Orson began a harsh training regime with Mark, often pushing an emotional response from him to teach him to control his anger. Over the next few months and years, Mark became a powerful fighter with almost complete control of his blindness and enhanced senses. Striking out a name for himself, Mark became Akuma before leaving the side of Orson Randall.

Believing that he was capable of taking on the Yakuza clan that shattered his already broken life, he went after them dressed as a bright red demon, starting with the lowly gangs working in the K'un Lun-kai's territory and working his way up. Though he did not stop there. Posing as a rough, able-sighted street orphan with a more 'traditional' Japanese name, he joined the very organisation he despised, and with that, Mark started his two-pronged attack against the K'un Lun-kai.

Eventually Mark's assault on the Yakuza came to a head, when he was personally contacted by the boss of the family, who offered to meet with him one-to-one, face-to-mask. The next night, Mark snuck into the prestigious offices of the K'un Lun-kai's boss, to see the man himself alone. Mark quickly fought expecting the boss to be a pushover, that he would go down easy, but not only was the boss keeping up with him, but Mark was actually having trouble keeping up with him. Eventually Mark slipped up, what felt like a hot sledgehammer hit him in the jaw, nearly shattering it. He looked up to see the boss standing there smiling, his fist glowing a bright yellow. Mark then realised that he was vastly outmatched as he received a vicious beating, nearly ending his life there.
Barely able to stand, Mark just managed to grab a large stapler off of the desk and smacked the boss in the eye, distracting him long enough for Mark to tackle him onto his back. As he knew that the K'un Lun-kai boss would not let him leave here alive at this point, Mark whispered to him "The Devil pays his dues." before he took his life. At this particular moment, as the boss lay there dead, Mark's chest felt like it was burning, as he undid the top of his costume, he noticed a thin black dragon tattoo in the centre of his chest, and his fists glowed with the same golden energy he saw earlier.

Too injured to care, Mark escaped before any of the boss' underlings cornered him and staggered his way home. As he healed from his brush with death, he came under the care of Ms. Daiyu, an elderly Chinese immigrant he had come to know as his neighbour, and his friend. While he waited to get back up on his feet, he heard news that the K'un Lun-kai's boss had been replaced by his more youthful son, that news filled Mark with dread. Would he have the same abilities as his father? Would he better stronger than him?

Mark returned fully healed to both his vigilante work, now with the name Akuma Ken, as well as his position in the Yakuza, he himself now a shateigashira, a supervisor of sorts of the local gangs in the region, and still continues to leak information about the K'un Lun-kai's activities to the police.

Recently, Mark has become proficient with his new found ability and has moved his activities to the United States in order to track down a branch of the K'un Lun-kai. Since coming to the States Mark was offered membership in the New Avengers Academy and aided the premiere Avengers on several defence missions against the likes of Ultron, and AIM. After Captain America was aged several decades it looked like his Avengers Unity Squad wouldn't last, but Mark was one of the first heroes to actually volunteer to join the now struggling program.

Sample Post - Mark laughed as he ran his fingers over the newspaper on the table. Its headline read a simple "DEVIL FIST IN THE STATES". The voice from the other end of the table spoke up. "'Akuma Ken' doesn't quite fit us, I guess." It was the rough voice of Benjamin Urich, who, to Mark, smelt strongly of smoke and disinfectant. "It's ok... More threatening than Akuma Ken, I'll admit that." Mark smiled. "Though, I will say, it doesn't have a better... 'flow', to it."

"Enough about your new name, Mr. Hirose." Urich sat looking impatient. "We should be discussing what your... organisation is up to here in New York." Mark's smile quickly faded. "I told you before, Urich, I'm not actually with them." Ben grinned at that. "Sure, whatever... Now, where is this arms deal supposed to be at?"
Mark sighed before taking off his glasses. "I've been told that the weapons are supposed to be delivered at The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal at Pier 12 in Red Hook. They'll be stowed away on a cruise ship, I don't know which one... The weapons will then most likely be taken into vehicles, from there on, I have no idea." Ben nodded approvingly before continuing. "Ok, not that I'm ungrateful that you came to me, but I've seen what you can do from the news coming out of Japan. Why aren't you going after them yourselves?" Mark took his tinted glasses and placed them back on, before giving Ben a good-natured smile. "I'm a little busy at the moment, Ben."

Name - Charlotte Janssens
Alias - (Captain) Marvel
Age - 24
Powers -

• Superhuman Strength - Charlotte is super humanly strong and is listed at a normal level somewhere between class 50 and class 90, likely class 75. However, since she is able to absorb various types of energy, she can use this energy to temporarily increase her physical strength to levels similar to that of her time as Binary, in which form she reaches class 100+.
• Superhuman Durability
• Superhuman Stamina - Able to exert self at peak for about a day on end.
• Superhuman Speed
• Superhuman Agility: Charlotte's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
• Flight
• Superhuman Reflexes: Her reflexes are heightened and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
• Photonic Blasts: Charlotte can fire powerful concussion blasts of photon and stellar light energy from her hands and fingertips.
• Energy Absorption: Her body is capable of absorbing various types of energy for the purpose of temporarily enhancing her own physical attributes.

Weaknesses -
Previous Affiliation - The Guardians of the Galaxy
Personality - Innocent/Kind/Trustworthy

Appearance

Costume
Charlotte stands at 5 foot 9 and has a lithe physique that betrays her true strength. Her hair is a dark brown and travels down just past her shoulders. Her eyes match her hair in colour, as do her eyebrows.

Brief Bio - [Don't get long winded or assume everyone is using every bit of cannon material. Characters themselves have to be cannon, not their histories...]
Charlotte was born in Bruges, Belgium, to a Belgian baker mother and an English salary man father. While her parents were completely normal, her grandparents were far from that. Her grandfather was the original Captain Marvel, and her grandmother a former villain of hers turned lover. Of course, this family secret was not even revealed to their children, let alone their grandchildren. As a result, Charlotte lived a relatively normal early life, she went to school, learned skills and made friends. Things changed drastically around the time she turned 15 though.

She had gone to visit her grandparents in America. While out on the town with them, they were attacked by muggers, and her grandfather was forced to use his powers to subdue the muggers. The energy stemming from the powers seemed to trigger something within, Charlotte, and her powers were unlocked, so to speak. Her grandparents explained her hero past and helped her train her powers in the short time they had with each other.

REEEEEEEE

[Omega Man]

For the record, in-game, this will be old man Steve Roger's second attempt at this team. The first team which included Havok, Scarlet Witch, Thor, Wolverine, and Rogue is still considered cannon in this game.

Assuming we get a full team, I'm working on some plot points now and a course for the initial arc.

[Omega Man]

Finished a redesign of Banshee. I think he'll be a little younger, mid-twenties or so, and have his daughter Theresa at the younger age of three or four. He'll be a former member of the X-Men, among the new mutants who rose in the nineties dubbed 'Generation X'. Cassidy's reason for joining this motley crew is mainly to protect his daughter from Black Tom Cassidy who believes the girl to be his own. Banshee will have already lost one fight with Black Tom and the Juggernaut, however it will be before his joining the Avengers Unity Squad.

Name - Kurtis Von Doom
Alias - Knightcrawler
Age - 35

Powers and abilities

Powers
Teleportation: He teleports by displacing himself into the Brimstone Dimension, traveling through it, and then returning to his own dimension at a certain distance from his point of departure. He consciously determines his point of return. The entire process occurs so quickly that Nightcrawler is unaware of being in the brimstone dimension at all. Nightcrawler guides himself through the brimstone dimension by an unconscious, natural direction-finding sense. Although Nightcrawler controls his teleportation ability with his conscious mind, his power to teleport is not psionic. Rather it is the result of an unknown biochemical/biophysical reaction which he triggers mentally. When he disappears in teleporting, Nightcrawler leaves behind smoke with a stench reminiscent of burning brimstone. This is a small portion of the atmosphere of the brimstone dimension that escapes while the aperture is open. His teleportation is invariably accompanied by the muffled sound of imploding air rushing to fill the vacuum left where Nightcrawler's body was. The longer the distance over which Nightcrawler teleports himself, the harder and more exhausting it is for him to make the teleportation "jump". It is easier for him to teleport between north and south (along Earth's magnetic field lines) than it is for him to teleport between east and west (against the magnetic lines). Under optimal conditions, teleporting only himself and his costume, Nightcrawler can displace himself a distance of about 2 miles east-to-west, and up to 3 miles north-to-south. Making a vertical teleportation upwards is difficult and dangerous. Nightcrawler has made a vertical teleportation "jump" of 2 miles by pushing himself to his physical limits. Nightcrawler's powers automatically displace liquids and gases when he arrives in the course of a teleportation. Nightcrawler's momentum is retained throughout the process of teleportation: he arrives with whatever amount of inertia he left with. For example, if he were falling from a great height, he could not teleport himself towards the ground in order to save himself; he would land with the same velocity that he teleported with. He can subtract this inertia by teleporting short distances upwards (as though taking two steps back for every one forward). As part of his power, Nightcrawler has also exhibited a limited ability to sense the teleportation of other beings. The limits to the mass that Nightcrawler can carry with him while teleporting, and the limits to the distance over which he can teleport himself with additional load is unknown. When he transports a passenger over even moderate distances, they both feel weakened and ill, to the point of exhaustion. Teleportation over further distances could be fatal. Through practice, Nightcrawler has increased the mass he can teleport with him. (He once teleported himself and Storm from the center of a small island into the water just off its coast without harming either of them). The upper limits of this capacity are as yet unknown.
Nightcrawler can use his powers offensively by grappling with an enemy and teleporting him or her in a series of rapid jumps. The strain of these "multiple ports" can exhaust foes without superhuman endurance while Nightcrawler remains strong enough to continue fighting.
Subconscious Spatial Awareness: Nightcrawler has a very limited subconscious extrasensory ability that prevents him from teleporting himself so that his feet, for example, would materialize below the surface of the local ground. Because this ability is so limited, however, Nightcrawler will not teleport into any place that he cannot see or has not seen in the past. If Nightcrawler teleported himself into an unfamiliar area, he would run the risk of materializing partially or entirely within a solid object. If too much of his body materialized within a solid object, he would probably be killed.
Wall-Crawling: Nightcrawler can stick to objects with the surface of his hands and feet. This enables him to scale surfaces.
Flexible Bone Structure: Nightcrawler's bone structure allows him great flexibility. He can remain in a crouched position for a long time and perform contortionist type feats without causing any damage to his spine.
Camouflage: He has limited abilities to blend into shadows, both as a result of his indigo fur and his connection to light-bending attributes of the dimension through which he teleports. This is also the explanation for why he constantly appears in shadow, even in direct light.
Prehensile Tail: allowing him to grab onto objects with relative ease. His tail is strong enough to not only support his body weight but also lift an adult man completely off the ground, and is deft enough to fight with a sword or blunt object.
Night Vision: Nightcrawler's always glowing eyes grant him a marked degree of heightened night vision as well.
Superhuman Agility: Nightcrawler's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the human body's natural limits.
Superhuman Reflexes: Nightcrawler's natural reaction time is enhanced to a level beyond the human body's natural limits.

Abilities
Master Acrobat: Nightcrawler is an Olympic-class acrobat thanks to his flexible spine that allows him to perform contortionist-like feats and to go long periods in a semi-crouching position without injury.

Circus Acts: Beyond just the acrobatics, he has practiced his hand at all of the other acts as well to cover in case anyone could not perform. These include knife-throwing, fire-breathing, whip-trickery, bufoonery when the clown is needed and face painting to hide his features.

Skilled Combatant: He is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, martial arts, athletics, acrobatics, and a master at fencing, which he can even perform with his tail, which is strong enough to support his entire body weight.

Medic: He has been the medic when no more qualified X-Men were around to do so.

Strength level
Nightcrawler possesses above average strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. At his peak, Nightcrawler can lift about 250 lbs.
Weaknesses

Weaknesses -
Despite Nightcrawler's superhuman powers, he is just as susceptible to disease and physical injury as any ordinary human. Also, because he is a neyaphem, angel's blood, which heals everyone else, hurts him, normally adding to whatever injury he received.
