How did he come back after hanging himself O_O?

Camp Half-Blood

It's okay, I obviously understand :p.

I'm actually pretty happy you guys are still in this. I've been thinking about starting a new thread of this that'll still pick up where we'd be leaving off here, but will remove the clutter from members who are no longer in this.

The plot I'm intending to use for this is going to be from an old Percy Jackson RP Kaithas, Somewere, and I were in. It was super fun, and it had a solid enough plot that sustained itself will and can easily tie in with the events that have already happened here.

There was one movie of his involving a journal. The character Williams played had a perverted son who died while watching porn, and to cover that up he made up some deep journal about his son's feelings that got a lot of attention. Anyone remember what it was called?

I'll hopefully have a post up later tonight. I've been thinking of what to write since yesterday, so hopefully it'll bea good start for me. No socializing for me though, just general rule screwery by stalking the three guys at the slaughterhouse.

Found out about that about half an hour ago at my gym. I was really surprised about it... poor guy.

Batman and Robin? I'm going to be honest, I actually liked that movie. Always wanted a Bat Credit Card too <_<...

Hellboy 2 was an awesome movie, I remember watching it to pass the time when my dad was busy at some conference.

Why not use both ideas together? It wouldn't be too hard to mix the two and say something like her skills and powers were taught to her by her elven masters/parents/group or whatever you want to put there.

TJ, Yeah that sounds good. Thought Red Fury affecting others sounds a bit... videogamey unless it's explained properly and doesn't overcharge them too much. Actually it kinda depends on his incarnation and the writers. His Pre-Crisis version was a God but Post-Crisis they actually did lower his powers significantly. Plus writers never really keep his powers consistent, they barely ever truly utilize super-speed and often tone done his senses. It's not even universally agreed if he needs air or not. His weakness to Kryptonite fluctuates a lot and actually the element is a lot easier to get a hold of then you would think. Red Sun energy can be simulated in the DCU by a bunch of people, and it's often been portrayed that Captain Marvel, Captain Atom, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, and others could go toe-to-toe with him. His weakness to magic isn't that consistent either but it has been established that he has no defense against it. He was stabbed by a Magic Sword once and almost died. Electricity has been known to hurt him and sonic or gas-based weapons can work on him pretty well. In All-Star Superman high gravity affected him and he also has no special defense against mental attack. And in the New 52/MOS, different atmospheres and environments can affect his powers as well. One of his main things is that he can destroy most anything with a punch but he... doesn't. Because he's Superman. His idealism and morals are what holds in back in a fight and it's consistently shown that he holds himself back for fear of killing someone or causing too much destruction. And again his invulnerability fluctuates too. A sufficiently powered weapon is able to knock him off his feet in most adaptations just not do any lasting damage. And for the record I believe Hulk and Silver Surfer would put Superman through his paces too. There's beings that are shown as more powerful than even him, Doomsday, Mongul, Superboy-Prime, Darkseid, and some of the Phantom Zone prisoners are his match and more. But he fights them anyway because he's Superman. And Superman vs the Elite had to be an exaggeration because 15 suns exploding would have destroyed the entire solar system. Plus he get's hit by a telekinetic strike and actually is visibly hurt, he's actually pretty bloodied and bruised when he shows up. The Lobotomy was just a logical extension of his heat vision. Is he strong yeah. But does he need to be nerfed? Not really. A lot of adaptations make him weaker already, Superman/Batman, the Justice League Animated Films, the DCAU, and Man of Steel all ground his powers pretty well. And the main point of Superman stories isn't if somebody can hurt or kill him. It's if he can save the ones he's supposed to protect and the one's he loved. Superman "loses" if he fails to save someone, when Batman died, it was a pivotal moment because Superman failed and he was beaten in that manner. His powers are the way they are because he's the working class hero, he's always helping people whether it's fighting crime or fixing a kid's bike, he's the one who inspired the whole genre and is the ideal that a lot of them look up to. My favorite incarnation of him is the DCAU Version and his powers are kept to reasonable levels in there. EDIT: BlackSam, That was a good read. I could have it that the Magus and the Fellowship have been trying to pin him down for over a century with no success.

Ok, I'll admit defeat :p. The Superman you describe here isn't as bad as I normally think, but that's because he's had so many rewrites that I don't know the level of his powers anymore other than they're reaaaally high up there and can potentially be used to wiggle out of most situations. Still, that's potential and not anything solid when I think about it, and I'll admit I still don't know much about the newest Superman since I'm more of a Marvel fan, and most of the stuff I read in DC is about the Lanterns (Red, Green, Blackest Night, so on).
