Name: Ethan Thomas Crane Hero Name: Supreme Known Alias': Ethan Crane, Ivory Icon Age: 38 Gender: Male Powers: Varies between revisions, currently Superhuman Strength, Invulnerability, Superhuman Speed, Superhuman Stamina, Flight, Superhuman Breath (artic and supersonic scream), Superhuman Vision(X-ray, telescopic and heat), Superhuman Hearing, Superhuman Smell Equipment: A disguise to change into Ethan. An immensely durable supersuit. Ipad. Appearance: Ethan is a very tall, athletic man. He looks otherwise like a normal human, but due to the exposure to supremium as a child, his hair is white. Ethan hides it with a brown wig in his secret identity. He also makes himself look fatter with extra clothes, walks with a slouch and speaks nasally in a higher pitch. Brief History: Ethan Crane grew up in Littlehaven with his adopted parents Joe and Joanne Crane, little sister Sally and their pet dog Radar. When Ethan was twelve and Sally seven, a meteor shower of alien matter known later as supremium landed to Littlehaven. One piece hit particularly close to Ethan and Sally, knocking them unconsious, though Radar managed to pull them to safety. All three were exposed to supremium which caused them to gain incredible superpowers, but now that very same matter became their weakness. Ethan's teen years were spent protecting Littlehaven from other, less moral people exposed to Supremium as Kid Supreme. After he grew up, Ethan left to Omega City to study and get a job, eventually finding one in the movie industry as a screenwriter. But although Ethan was good at writing superhero movies, his Supreme life got to a slump. Supreme hit the bottom when he ended up fighting another superhero, Professor Night (which was solved by the discovery that the Prof's late sister was also named Sally), and then got killed due to using a supremium spear to kill Emerpus, a genetic abomination created by Darius Dax. Ethan found himself in the Supremacy, the afterlife of all Supremes. But it wasn't the end of him. The Supremes of the Past notified Ethan that the universe was still undergoing Revision and without Supreme managing it, it would go the wrong way. So Ethan used a Resurrection Machine to come back to life. There he temporarily joined the Allies, but soon decided to take a break from superheroics and focus on his movie career, while guiding the Revision by small pushes. Unfortunately Ethan is now in a bit of a writer's block. The next Omni-Man movie is about the hero having adventures in the multiverse, or rather Omni-Verse, but Ethan can't come up with anything.

This revision however is based on motion picture instead of comics (Supreme is a screenwriter instead of comic book artist in his secret identity) . DCEU is the main inspiration, but there are also elements from Smallville and Arrowverse, among others.

I had some trouble deciding what kind of character I'd take, but I may make my Supreme idea, if someone at the strength level of superman isn't too much.
As for character, I have 4 possibilities (or 3 depending on your point of view) at the moment
Marshal Law: Perhaps could work again here.
Supreme: A superman-like hero with some meta-knowledge, though not to the same level Deadpool has.
Dragonflyman: A costumed adventurer similar to Adam West Batman, who has prior knowledge of dimension hopping, having ended up stuck in the universe of his darker counterpart.
Dragonfly: A costumed adventurer similar to Dark Knight Batman, who has prior knowledge of dimension hopping, having ended up stuck in the universe of his lighter counterpart.
1) Please post a little more with the sample post. Not really enough to get an idea of how he works. A little dialogue would go a long way. Even if it's just him talking with Waller about how much they fucking hate super's. 2) San Francisco is still there, please don't hit it with an Earthquake. 3) I don't want to tell you how to build your character or how to run your story, but i don't like the wider reaching implications of Vought-American's creating actual superheroes introduces. I would appreciate it if this wasn't an open thing that they did. Maybe it's still in the prototype phases and they are still trying to work out the kinks in these formula's. It's just that if there is a company actually mass producing superheroes, then it has FAR reaching implications that other player's can't really choose to ignore if they want. 4) I also quite like the idea of The Zone in this setting, the only real thing that i want is for it to have been a black-ops thing perpetrated by CADMUS, known to the public only in rumours and paranoid conspiracies online. Most don't even believe it happened, because the world governments covered it up. Again, just trying to avoid implications that other's cannot ignore or might impose on their stories.
Apart from that, i love it, fit's in very nicely.
All right.
Shall I repost the sheet with modifications or will editing suffice?
Name: Joe Gilmore Hero Name: Marshal Law Known Alias': Screaming Eagle (formerly), The Vet (formerly), Hero Hunter, Fascist Thug Age: 32 Powers: Marshall Law is a cyborg. His cybernetics provide for him among other things: - Super Strength. Strong enough to lift a car over his head and throw it 20 feet. - Minor healing factor - Marshal Law doesn't feel pain, allowing him to continue longer than a normal person. Equipment: - Marshal Law has a vast array of guns with extremely large calibers. Necessary against the targets he hunts. Besides regular slugs, his guns can fire a variety of special ammo, such as smart bullets and fear gas. - Other weapons range from simple knives all the way to bazookas, depending on the situation - Hoverbike in the shape of an eagle. Room for partners and captures Appearance: Like other superhero costumes, Marshal Law's is full of symbolism. It is militaristic and dark in color, giving an impression of a hard man of authority with no mercy inside (which is true at least when it comes to supers). It has many threatening and violent slogans written in, and contains depictions of wounds, such as the red "razor slashes" on cheeks and the throat. His right arm is left exposed and wrapped in barbed wire, a mark of his guilt for previous actions in war.
Joe is a relatively good looking middle-aged man with black hair, black eyes and chiseled facial features. His boy is muscular and contains no scars, thanks to his healing factor. Known Affiliations: San Francisco Police Department, Cadmus
Amanda Waller - Superior at Cadmus, she and Marshal share hatred towards superheroes Kiloton - Marshal's deputy from their SAPD days Lynn Evans - Marshal's girlfriend in his civilian life as Joe. A devoted feminist who hates superheroes, including Marshal Law
Madeline Stillwell CEO of Vought-American Consolidated, a corporation that specializes in the marketing and merchandising of superheroes. Public Spirit - Real name Colonel Buck Caine, Public Spirit is a flying artillery-type metahuman and was the living icon of superheroics in his age. Left for space a few decades ago, but has recently returned, having barely aged thanks to time dilation. Homelander - A young Kryptonian who agreed to a sponsorship deal with the Vought-American. He is the leader of the Seven, a superhero group trying to emulate the Justice League in hopes of gaining a piece of their popularity. Supergods - If metahumans are like living guns, then supergods are definitely nukes. These artificial superhumans are the next stage of the superhuman arms race of the world, created in secret by the Earth's governments. USA has at least two, Jerry Craven and Dajjal, and who knows what others have.
Character Basis:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshal_Law_(comics) List of Reimagined traits: - Instead of South America, "the Zone" Joe Gilmore was sent to is in the Middle East, and instead of communists, the war was against terrorism. - San Francisco is still whole, there was no earthquake - There is no compound V or mass production of super-humans. Officially superhuman production is illegal. - Vought-American Consolidated is doesn't produce superheroes of their own, though it is rumored that they are doing illegal superpower experiments. Instead Vought-American sponsors existing superheroes in exchange for merchandising. - In the comics the superhero group Public Spirit belonged to was called Jesus League of America, but I changed it to Ultramarine Corps. People however call it Jesus League derogatorily due to many overtly religious members of the group. - Public Spirit is a natural metahuman, while Homelander is another kryptonian. Story Overview:
- Joe Gilmore didn't always hate superheroes. When he was five, he felt the same magic other kids did as he saw Public Spirit on television along with all the other heroes of the Ultramarine Corps. They were announcing man's first mission to the stars to meet other aliens. Joe Didn't understand what all the fuzz was about, especially with the girls, but Public Spirit seemed to be above such things. Soon after the hero ascended to heaven, or in this case to space.
Years later Joe sought to follow Public Spirit's example by enlisting to the military, eventually becoming a members of the Black Ops. Problems in the Middle East had escalated to the point that the entire area became known as the Zone. Officially it was simply a war of mortal against mortal, but unofficially...
Iran had developed an artificial superhuman called Malak-al-Maut. This glowin white humanoid could break the bonds of atoms with its mere presence, destroying everything in its path. CADMUS sent out a black ops team to destroy the being. This was Joe's first encounter with a supergod. Many soldiers lost their lives to Malak, only for Public Spirit, back from space, to destroy it with a single shot from his electromagnetic beam. No conventional weapons would have pierced the supergod's destruction field, but as an android, it was still susceptible to EMP, which Public Spirit's rays essentially were. It was there where Joe realized that while normal people were constantly in danger, the so-called superheroes never were. His eyes were finally open. Superheroes were no gods, just propaganda tools.
In the end the Zone crisis remained a stalemate. Joe returned home to San Francisco a broken man. Disgusted by superheroes, he began joining protests marches against them. It was during one of those protests that he met his future girlfriend Lynn Evans. But the trouble for San Francisco was only beginning. The numerous superheroes were revealed to be less than wholesome, with many being guilty of all kinds of crimes. Joe became the vigilante Vet, trying to fight the so called heroes. But although Joe managed to discover many dark secrets hidden by the heroes, he was only a man, and after an encounter with a particularly vicious superhero, Joe was beaten so badly he almost died.
In the hospital Joe got the attention of Cadmus and its leader, Amanda Waller, who hated superheroes with the same vigor Joe did. Joe took Amanda's offer to have the means of hunting superheroes, and in the secret labs of Cadmus, Joe's ruined body was rebuilt by cybernetics. After months of recovery, training and tinkering, Joe Gilmore became Cadmus' top superhero hunter. Marshal Law was born.
Sample Post: - Marshal Law arrived to director Amanda Waller's office in full gear. The portly woman was holding a pad.
"What's the mission, Ma'am?" He asked.
"Right down to business as always," Waller noted, smiling "Good. You will be going to Kansas this time."
An assistant dropped a bunch of files and pictures on the desk, revealing images of destroyed buildings and brutally murdered people, along with a strange symbol that looked like two Bs mirrored.
Law took a picture depicting the symbol. "Reminds me of that symbol in a manga I read once. Berserk, I think it was called. Violent stuff."
"Well, so is this mission" Waller continued, "Whoever left these signs also killed several inhabitants of the small town of Brightburn. We don't know the target's identity, but according to autopsies they're strong, fly and are the size of a pre-teen."
"Sounds like Superman's evil son" Law quipped, though everyone stayed quiet.
"Now, I know you're not eager to fight children, but-" Waller started, but Law interrupted her quickly.
"No need to worry about that, Ma'am" He ensured, "This child is not a sidekick, corrupted by the actual superhero. These murders are determined, uninhibited and premeditated. And if these reports hold true, it is the first case of a metahuman in the area. This child is a superhero, doing everything out of free will and must be stopped before more people die."
Marshal Law put the papers back on the table and turned his eyes on Waller.
"When shall I leave?"
