Hey Zeus, just for point of reference could you give us a wee idea of what kinda crises the League has faced faced before?Like in my Cs I mentioned that Aquaman joined with the other big seven to stop the Darkseid invasion, which I literally just lifted from the new 52 cause I was unsure of how our league first met, or even who was in it. Cause I'm inferring from the writing that no one on earth has seen Brainiac before, but has supes?

A battle against Darkseid seems like as good a reason as any to bring the League together originally. The only thing I'd really change about your Aquaman bio is the idea of the "big seven" because those guys aren't necessarily the founding members of the League in our case. The League has also faced off against some of their classic villains like Despero, Vandal Savage and my personal favorite, Starro the Conqueror. And no, Superman has never encountered Brainiac before. Part of the story will involve him learning the fate of Kandor from Jor-El.

The entire Daily Planet staff was huddled in the lunch room, their eyes fixated on the television. Poor Jimmy Olsen found himself at the back of the room, struggling to get a good look.

“Someone tell me what's happening!”

“What the hell is that thing...?” said Perry White, the Planet's editor-in-chief.

“Well it definitely isn't a bird or a plane,” replied Lois Lane.

“This is Bethany Snow reporting live for Channel 52 in Metropolis, where a strange unidentified flying object has been spotted above the city.”

The news chopper cautiously flew toward the UFO, attempting to get a better look.

“Where a craft like this could have come from is anybody's guess. Is it the work of the Russians? The Chinese?? It is even of this Earth??? STICK TO CHANNEL 52 FOR THE LATEST!”

The chopper continued it's approach, while the UFO remained in place as if surveying the area.

“One has to wonder if the appearance of this UFO is in some way connected to Superman, who is of alien origin himself,” Bethany continued, “Has it come to Metropolis in search of the Man of Steel? Does it seek to destroy Superman and everyone he loves?? Does Superman's very existence harbour the doom of us all??? STICK TO CHANNEL 52 FOR THE LATEST!”

“This woman is just the worst,” Lois remarked rather astutely.

“I think your just jealous,” said Perry, who seemed oddly fixated on the blonde television reporter.

The UFO began to transform, shifting from a sleek aircraft-like design to a more humanoid shape, with three glowing violet dots positioned on what would be described as the machine's head. Suddenly, a blast of violet energy was produced from a cannon on the robot's arm, striking the tail of the helicopter, sending it spiralling out of control.

The audience in the Daily Planet lunch room watched in horror, as Perry White let out a desperate cry, “BETHANY!!!”

“I can't see!” said Jimmy Olsen, “Clark, tell me what's going on...”

But Clark Kent was nowhere to be found.

“Lois...where's Clark?”

At that very moment, the mild-mannered Clark Kent stepped into an alleyway just outside the Daily Planet building, removing his thick-rimmed glasses. He loosened his tie and torn open his shirt to reveal the iconic insignia of Superman.

The ship hurdled through space at warp speed, weaving past planets and asteroids en route to it's final destination. The craft itself was black, with a metallic sheen, and had glowing violet lights. The lights on the front of the ship were arranged in a pattern of three dots, in the shape of a triangle, with the dots connected by a pair of lines, looking almost like the letter V. The ship's destination came into view, a brilliant blue planet with fragments of land and clouds visible from space. After soaring past the planet's solitary moon, the craft entered the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, on the surface of that very same blue world...

"I'm sorry Lois, but we can't publish this.”

"Tell me Perry, when exactly did you lose your balls?"

"About 20 years ago when I married my first wife,” the hefty editor replied, “Listen, you need to be careful of what you say about Lex Luthor in this town, you know that as much as I do. If Metropolis is the City of Tomorrow, then Luthor is the Man of Tomorrow. Plus, his company is a partial owner of the Daily Planet."

"His company is also a weapons manufacturer for the United States military, and the public has a right to know that his lobbyists are pressuring this country's government to go to war! Stories like this are the whole point of a free press!"

"Look, I don't know who told you the press was free, but they obviously never worked in the news business. You're not as naive as Kent Lois, you know how the game works. Speaking of Kent..."

"All I know is that people deserve the truth--"

"KENT! KENT GET IN HERE!"

The timid and mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent stepped into the editor's office, adjusting his thick-rimmed glasses as he did so.

“You're late Kent, for the third time this week!” yelled Perry.

“I'm sorry Mr. White,”” Clark replied, exchanging a knowing look with Lois, “I got caught up with something.”

“I don't want to hear any of your excuses Kent. Be her on time from now on, or don't bother coming back at all.”

“Yes sir.”

Suddenly the office doors burst open, and the Daily Planet's young red-haired photographer, Jimmy Olsen, entered the room.

“You guys need to see this!”

Vita I'll pose the same question to you that I posed to clanjos, do you want your character to start as an actual member of the League? Since Robin is a sidekick it would make sense for her to not be an official member of the Justice League, but it's up to you either way.

Justice League

A thoroughly entertaining bio, and I applaud you use of a more obscure character from the DCU. 100% approved.

Instead of starting you off on the official Justice League roster I think it would be better to see Ambush Bug trying to prove himself and earn his place in the League. The League members would see him as a bit of a nuisance and an annoyance, but he would eventually earn their respect. Let me know what you think.

So, um, I'm the one who wanted an OC . ^^;Um, specifically using this picture even. I kind of have this idea of her being a really energetic superhero and stuff really. ^^;

Wow that's a pretty awesome picture, did you create it yourself or find it somewhere? And feel free to throw up a CS, it would be great to have you on board.

I think he gets my approval for the usage of All-Star Superman alone. XDAlso yay, Eilidh was accepted. ^_^ And everyone else looks pretty cool. Looks like this will be all kinds of fun.

All-Star Superman is probably the greatest Superman comic ever written.

So...did Batman get accepted? Sorry his profile's kind of lengthy, but and compared to any wiki I've seen I streamlined it considerably

Hey man, my bio for Supes is longer so don't worry about it. And yes, your Batman is accepted. Also your Bat-bio is open ended enough to allow for a character like Nightwing or Robin to be played by someone else if they wanted to which is good.

As it stands right now, I like the make-up of our team and we definitely have enough players to start. I'll try make the first IC post tomorrow if I can. If other players want to come in and hop on board later that's cool. As far as Wonder Woman is concerned, I have a plan to introduce her in a big way down the road if nobody plays as her for this first story.

Justice League

Superhero Name: Superman

Civilian Identity: Clark Kent, also known as Kal-El

Appearance

Powers and Abilities: Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. By leap tall buildings in a single bound, I mean that he can fly. Also he has heat vision, x-ray vision, near invulnerability, super hearing, and ice breath. Don't forget the ice breath. Superman's Kryptonian physiology allows him to absorb light from our yellow sun, which the source of his immense power. His Achilles' heel is Kryptonite, radioactive pieces of his home planet that render him powerless. Prolonged exposure to Kryptonite radiation is lethal to Superman.

Biography

Although born as Kal-El on the planet Krypton, Clark Kent grew up on a farm in the idyllic town of Smallville. He was raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent, a good-natured couple that instilled in him a strong moral compass and a relentless sense of optimism. Growing up, Clark always knew that he was different, as he developed the incredible powers that would eventually come to define him as Superman. However, his parents urged him to keep his abilities a secret, as they feared how they world would react. After graduating high school, Clark left Smallville and traveled the globe in search of purpose. He returned home on the eve of his 21st birthday and his life was forever changed.

The small spacecraft that brought Clark to Earth as a baby suddenly roared to life, having been dormant for years and stored underneath a barn on the Kent farm. The craft erupted from the barn and flew up into the sky. Clark took flight in pursuit, the spacecraft being the only relic of his home world he had ever known. The ship flew north to the Arctic, as far away from the populated world as possible. When it finally landed, it began to expand and transform, and what was initially a small craft had become a massive fortress.

Upon entering the fortress, Clark was greeted by a hologram projection of his biological father, Jor-El, who told him of his birth name, Kal-El, the fate of his home world, and the nature of his abilities. Jor-El said that he intended for this ship to be a place of refuge for his son, a Fortress of Solitude. Clark asked his father what his purpose was to be on Earth, and Jor-El replied that it was ultimately not for him to decide and that Kal was sent to Earth not by design, but by fate. However, Jor-El also noted that on Krypton, the symbol of the House of El stood for hope, and hope is something that humanity needs.

Clark traveled to Metropolis, the City of Tomorrow, where he took a job as a reporter for the Daily Planet. In Metropolis, Clark began to use his extraordinary powers to help and protect people. He became Superman, the world's first superhero. While his principles and values were derived from his adoptive parents, his costume was inspired by the words or Jor-El. He wore the symbol of the House of El on his chest as an homage to his home world and as a reminder of what he was fighting for on Earth.

Five years have passed since Clark first came to Metropolis, and Superman is now a hero to millions. However, there will always be those who distrust and fear him. One man in particular, Lex Luthor, has been very outspoken in his disapproval of Superman. He believes Superman to be an alien menace that harbors the inevitable doom of humanity. Clark maintains his job at the Daily Planet as a cover for his work a Superman, and only one person aside from his parents know that the two are in fact the same man. That person is Lois Lane, a fellow reporter at the Daily Planet and the love of Clark's life. Lois and Clark have recently moved in together, but Lois is beginning to struggle with the fact that as Superman's girlfriend, she will never have a normal relationship.

Above all, one thing remains clear. Superman will continue to fight the good fight, for the betterment of humanity and the world. Even in the face of adversity, when hope seems lost, Superman will find hope within himself and within the people of this planet. Humanity believes in Superman, and Superman believes in humanity.
