Or whatever the male equivalent of "sploosh" is. Which I guess is just "sploosh,"

@Eddie Brock

....wait for it.

but with semen.

Dropping Cold and the Punisher. It's been too long since I've posted and I've tried writing something and it's for naught. Since I don't like how the table is set, I'm flipping it over. Eddie can ignore what I've done with the Rogues and anyone who wants to do their own thing with the Punisher without the continuity baggage can do so. I'll void what I've done.

@Byrd Man

This is why we can't have nice things.

@Byrd Man

Oh as soon as I join...

@Ruby

Maybe he's making more X-Men?

@Ruby

[Eddie Brock]

Now I know how Ben Affleck feels.

She's on to me!

@Byrd Man

I really will cry.

@Ruby

Don't cry, Ruby Rube. I've got a few ideas and I may go with one of them next.

@Lord Wraith

Him? C'mon, now.

@Byrd Man

Wine instead!

[Lord Wraith]

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

@Ruby

It'd be cool to see someone like Beast Boy or Static as part of the X-Men.

[Byrd Man]

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

Him? C'mon, now.

@Ruby

What, I can't like the X-Men. I'll have you know I X-Men'd the shit out of one of the last RPGs I was in on my old site!

@Byrd Man

See, now I'm grinning.

[Hexaflexagon]

And I did a thing!

[ErsatzEmperor]

How's that work exactly? Say I want a storyline where Jean runs into Victor Creed...do I just use him, ask permission first, ask the Logan player if there is one?

@Ruby

<Snipped quote by Ruby>
As Morden just said that Wolverine is now up for grabs, I'd say go ahead and use Creed without worries.

@Blue Demon

I can confirm that yeah, no intention regarding the character. Just thought I'd poke my head up to officiate it. No harm meant, this is a fun one to read.

[Sep]

Also like the comics all you other X-Men can go ahead and call him Peter.

[Natty]

<Snipped quote by Ruby>

It'd be cool to see someone like Beast Boy or Static as part of the X-Men.

@Lord Wraith

Would such a thing be allowed then? I assumed that turning non mutants into mutants wouldn't be permitted?

Although i guess the situation that activated their abilities could have simply activated their latent mutant gene? Idk, just curious :P

[Sep]

@Natty I guess that would be the twist of it being a united universe rather than a sole DCVerse.

@ErsatzEmperor

Sad times. Guess that means no fast ball special.

@Hexaflexagon It's a good thing.

Replacement character follows:

“I have struck a city - a real city... Having seen it, I urgently desire never to see it again. It is inhabited by savages”
-- Rudyard Kipling

Name: Bobo T. Chimpanzee aka Detective Chimp

Alignment: Neutral Good.

Affiliation: N/A

History:

TL;DR, "Homeboy is a talking chimp."

Originally a chimp from equatorial Africa, Detective Chimp was taken from his home by circus owner Fredrick Thorpe, who named him Bobo. Thrope taught Bobo sign language and a routine of rudimentary answers to pre-determined questions. Labeled "Bob the Detective Chimp," the act was a hit across the country. During a road trip through Florida, the circus convoy was involved in a freeway pileup that overturned cars and set animals free. Bobo was among those that fled into the woods in the confusion. After weeks in the wilderness, the chimp discovered a strange pool near the everglades. This pool was revealed to be the long sought after Fountain of Youth. Bobo drank from it and discovered its side effects immediately. His intelligence skyrocketed to genius human levels. With his new intellect, he found his way back to civilization and Thrope's circus. It was soon discovered that Bobo could, in fact, speak and no longer needed sign language.

Bobo's new abilities led to a boom in the act with people everywhere flocking to see the genius chimp. In San Francisco, Bobo found his calling. During a routine show, Bobo was able to deduce that an audience member had murdered his wife. The sensation of the story led to more headlines for Bobo and his eventual falling out with Thorpe. He left the circus and, after drifting through the country, became the world's first chimp private eye.

Today, Bobo lives in works in Opal City, a mid-sized metropolis in Pennsylvania, Opal City. As part of the Rust Belt, Opal is dealing with a lack of industrial jobs as more and more manufacturing goes abroad. High unemployment and suburban flight has led to urban decay throughout the city. On top of that, an apathetic police force has given way to more corruption and disconnect from the people they have sworn to protect.

Supporting Cast:

Effie Peters - Detective Chimp's secretary/Girl Friday
Effie assists Bobo through his cases during the day while she attends law school at night

Jake Lonnegan - A short-con grifter operating in Opal City
Jake is a long-time pro in the Opal City area and acts as an informant and occasional helper for Bobo when the job calls for it.

Sgt. Florence Marlowe - Squad Sergeant, Opal City PD
Sgt. Marlowe is a squad supervisor in OCPD's Major Crimes Squad and works/competes with Bobo on cases.

Anthony Di Pasqua - Opal City Mob Boss
One of the last of the old school mob bosses in America, Di Pasqua acts as antagonist and sometimes uneasy ally to Bobo and Effie

David Fitzwaller - Criminal Lawyer and Ambulance Chaser
Fitzwaller is a partner in the legal firm of Fitzwaller, Fitzwaller, Fitzwaller, Fitzwaller, and York. He sometimes employs Bobo and Effie as private investigators on his cases.

How (if at all) does the New Frontier version of your character differ from the original?: Pretty much the same.
