Justice League: Losers

The Justice League of America is a team of metahumans, aliens, Amazons, etc. who have fought the good fight for years. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman... shining examples of heroism. Lately the Big 7 (Superman, Batman, WW, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Cyborg) have been looking into recruiting more members, possibly to form a JL: International of their own, or another team like the government sanctioned JL of America. Heroes like Captain Marvel (I refuse to call his Shazam, that's the wizard dammit lol), Stargirl, Hawkman, and even Superman's cousin Supergirl are being looked at for this new team. The Atom's apprentice Ryan Choi as well as Vixen are being eyed for membership. The Justice League is truly bringing about a new era, setting a new bar for heroism.

...but this isn't about the guys and girls already in the big leagues. This is about a couple of virtual nobodies with big dreams and superpowers of their own. Guys who've managed to mess up as many times if not more than they've done good. A couple of born losers looking for a big win and Justice League status.

This is a tale of the...

JUSTICE LEAGUE: LOSERS

@The Kid Lantern - Super Chief

@rocketrobie2 - Silver Scarab

_____________________________________________________________

If anybody else is gonna read this, know that this will likely be a prequel to a team game in the near future based around a new more politically correct JL team being formed for whatever reason. R2 and myself have chosen a couple 5th stringers to reimagine and tweak and I honestly think I'd read a book about either one of them. Silver Scarab is so much cooler than Blue Beetle ever thought about being, and he's got Nth metal on his side to boot. I chose Super Chief because I love me some Native American heroes but didn't wanna go with a giant man like Longshadow or a Batman knockoff like Chief Man of Bats.

R2 - I'm gonna post my CS after this and then you can do the same. We can talk about the villains in the titanpad if you want while we're both online, and when we're not we can just use this OOC to go back and forth.

Can't wait to get this one rolling!

The Legion of Superheroes RETURN

The group of young heroes continued walking through downtown Metropolis taking in all the sights. Sol was the most in awe, despite living on Earth for a little while now he still wasn't used to being around so many aliens. In all seriousness Momentum actually made him feel the most awkward, even though they've been chatting off and on the last few days like the best of friends. Sol was calling himself Ultra Boy on the other side of the United States in Coast City when Cosmic Boy found him. Metropolis is about three times the size of Coast City with about six times as many people. Working as a peacekeeping force for the United Planets came with some benefits in the form of personal credit cards. Sol's new wardrobe was already twice what it was back on Daxam.

"I'm starting to love this city. No wonder Superman called it home. Anybody wanna go see his statue in Centennial Park?" Sol asked no one in particular.

About time the group made it's way to a shopping mall noises could be heard from one of the more old school arcades. Most of the team paid it no mind, however there was a man walking through the mall that had a strange look about him. As he approached a food stand it was clear the girl working at the eatery knew the man.

"You wanna choose a life of making pretzels in this city over me? Do you have ANY idea where I was gonna take us Seline?" he screamed as a little electricity flickered in his eyes.

Lights began flickering off and on as some burnt out or burst from too much electricity going into them. It was clear he had to be stopped, and it would seem most of the Legion had already got beyond earshot of the troubled young man. The arcade, as well as a certain someone, was just next door....

Here's one more with the pants ending at the waist. I was looking at some of the more oddball choices for suits from the 70's when I was making the first. I also included an armorless maskless version using a smaller face with a meaner brow.



EDIT: I'm also in the titanpad working on a post off and on today since it's my day off. I'm gonna introduce a small threat for Capt. Marvel to take down and wow us that won't require a stat based enemy. Once @Gisk makes his grand entrance and a few of us react, I'll work on a post to move us forward and set up the next battle for a few of you who didn't get a piece last time [Hawk, Superforce, Bulk Lad, and the Captain].

I'm fleshing out the new subplot of the missing recruits as well, just looking for the right angle or type of badguy. Thought about making it an original since most of the 31st century supervillains suck balls. Or maybe it could be somebody like the Emerald Enchantress

EDIT 2: POSTED!

Redesigned Horus a bit, made some armor, gave him a big whoopass stick. @knighthawk [and everyone else] Let me know what you think!

As far as height he's only four pixels taller LOL @rocketrobie2

<Snipped quote by The Kid Lantern>

I like the new symbol and I really like the little vibration shadow thing he has going on though I'm not to big of a fan of him being that buff. I kinda imagined him to be a little scrawnier than most of the group. As for sleeves vs no sleeves I like 'em both. One seems very classic while the other more fits Pano. The only thing clothing wise I liked more about the original though we're the gloves.

@rocketrobie2

*Goes back to search micros* I gave him gloves early on?

My standard sized hero base is what I used on Ultraboy and Ferro Lad, the slightly more buff base was used for Capt. Marvel, buff teen was used for Hawk, Cosmic Boy, and Superforce. I *think* Bulk Lad uses my standard short teen base while the newer Momentum used the tall base [because he was more lean]. I edited the shoulders and skinnyness of the forearms to mirror their shape more in the original micro base I used for him [I can't find it anymore for some reason]. I use the short and tall teen bases when I don't want them to appear as fit as the others who have more detail in the abs, legs, and ribs.

If you want I can put him on a shorter base and give him gloves, his head fin though is gonna make him tall looking either way. The micro he's on now actually has less muscle definition with a lack of what my wife calls 'ribletts', the extra definition line in the shoulders, as well as less details in the chest. The other base I used for Momentum I liked because of the shape of the torso, and it may have been skinnier than the base I used, but I have no idea where I saved/found that base...

If anybody else wants, to show an evolution of characters, I can make tweaks/updates to the micros similar to what I've done with Momentum once everyone begins leveling up. I'm already thinking about putting a little more white in Ultra Boy's suit...

@The Kid Lantern

If gender ratio is an issue, it would be very easy to change my Captain Marvel to a female.

@Gisk

Nah it's cool man. If I think we *really* need them to make it look like less of a sausage party then I'll just create a new member or two as an NPC.

The Legion of Superheroes RETURN

I think I remember reading it that way now, IDK what I was thinking. But I time skipped that mission anyway since @knighthawk got quiet on us for a bit LOL

Anybody hear anything from @Tengri lately? She's the only female on the team now...

The Legion of Superheroes RETURN

New sig, you can see some of the tweaks. Momentum got a new symbol and gained about twenty pounds in muscle and a little more height, Hawk's helmet is getting tweaked [and I'm gonna give him a weapon and play with the wing design more], and I dropped Bulk Lad down to his normal form since he hasn't went incredible Bulk in-game yet.

I'm in the titanpad if anybody's around!

So... HAPPY NEW YEARS YA'LL!

I just wanted to chime in and let you guys know I'm steadily working on shifting the plots to keep everyone on their toes and to make this the best game possible. Also, I'm reworking a few characters' micros a little including new ones for Hawk [I needed to uncross his arms and I'm working to make his Nth metal armor look more Hawkman-ish], Momentum, as well as anybody else who might want something tweaked for like an avatar or something.

Since we also lost a few people I'm gonna make it an option after players have ten posts in-game that if they wish they can pick up a second character. Don't start getting too worked up though cause there's only a few of us right now around the halfway mark. Just wanted to toss the idea out there though so you can begin thinking about how you might wanna spin a second character.
