I really like Eddie's Green Arrow.

@Inkarnate

Yeah, I miss that little bastard. Perhaps someday the opportunity to write him will come again. I had a killer Mister Negative arc planned for the last RPG we all tried to start together, but I didn't hang with it.

I will say that I wish we knew how to capture the feel of World of Heroes or All-Star Marvel. For whatever their faults, they were games with honest-to-God history behind them. Like... I still kinda 'ship Bart Allen and Supergirl thanks to those games. And because they were so far along, they could have those legacy characters.

Starting a game now, it's like you either start Year One (sorry, legacies), go off of current comics continuity (which many of us don't really like atm), or pick an arbitrary cutoff point/play fast and loose with continuity (which works but is obviously messy as hell).

I mean, obviously this game will run that long and we'll eventually reach that long, nbd, but I do wish I could skip ahead. (Because I love me some Superboy.)

I enjoyed World of Heroes when we had a stacked Teen Titans roster. Superboy, Robin, Ravager, Zachary Zatara, Kid Flash, and Supergirl all PCed at the same time. Otherwise, I don't really remember it. I had way more fun in the Ultimate and One Universe RPGs.

@Inkarnate is apparently our stenographer. Good to know I don't have to waste energy trying to remember all this shit anymore...

Yeah. I... did that, too. To say that I was a massive dickhole whenever it came to Batman at the time is a massive understatement. I had my issues with how JRK portrayed Bruce, but looking back on it, I shudder at my borderline harassment behavior. I wish the dude was still around so that I could've made amends before the games tanked.

Thankfully, I'm marginally less of a dickhole about Batman (and in general) now.

@Master Bruce

I can relate to this insofar as I never quite warmed to Spider-Man9x17, who held the throne I coveted. I don't think I was ever actively a dickhead to the guy, though. (Passively, I'm a dickhead to everybody, so that doesn't count.)

I played Batman for a single post? Or was it just an application? Or all a fever dream? I just remember stepping in (or wanting to step in) because MB finally stepped down, and I knew there'd be no other chance.

And sure enough, there hasn't been...

But the real question is...

Hider

... can we stack hiders?

Hider

Apparently!

I gotta be honest: I don't much care for any of these attempts to deepen the lore of the symbiotes. I think that Venom (the symbiote) works just fine as a parasitic organism that just happened to hitch a ride on a prominent Earth mutate. Everything else has hit me the wrong way, although I prefer the new new retcon over Bendis' take.

Spoilers

The Thor: God of Thunder bit feels entirely tacked on, and the symbiote "dragon" is fine -- Thor's fought all kinds of crazy shit -- but having it be on Earth and have been with SHIELD secretly is just meeeeeeeeeeeh.

I'm pretty sure my first character was Colossus in a standard Marvel RPG, but I'm also pretty sure I only posted as him once, hence why I can't remember it for shit.

This confession does make me wonder, if given the chance to alter things, what would your current username be? I admit that I kind of struck gold whenever "Master Bruce" wss suggested to me in the early Hype days, but this What If? sort of thing fascinates me.

@Master Bruce

I've taken to going by Webhead on other sites/services, so probably that. If not, then... I don't know. I've always sucked at usernames.
