Omega Man

The Legion of Superheroes RETURN

I'm jumping in the titanpad now if anybody's around. Gonna try and get a mission going for a stat battle with the guys who didn't get in on the first one.

So many ideas going through my head right now...

Ideas include:
a genderswapped Demon/Jason Blood

a Constantine with psychic powers instead of magic

an insect/arachnid inspired character (Blue Beetle, Yellowjacket, Spider, Black Spider) with actual insect/arachnid-based powers

maybe a character that somehow combines Secret and Deadman (ghostly abilities)

@Ultimate Spidey

Genderswapped Demon sounds good.

A spin on Constantine could work.

As for bug related characters, there's a classic hero recently remade as a female with a tech suit called the Red Bee. A different/female Blue Beetle would be cool too. [There's even a Red Beetle that's female who uses the same tech as Ted Kord.]

You should make Secret Deadwoman and an adult LOL. I loved Secret in the classic YJ days, and Deadman is another favorite.

@rocketrobie2 Is OMAC an AI then? Or is there somebody controlling it and selecting people at random to become superpowered giants?

@Weird Tales Remember you gotta change him up a bit! Make him in the modern day, give us a good reason why his face is jacked, etc.

@rocketrobie2 When you mentioned your boy being in red, it made me think of the refurbished OMAC from the Outsiders comics REMAC.



I like how you're spinning it with the satellite and the connection to Darkseid's power, but how will this thing be able to join a group to defend the Earth? Will we communicate with a satellite? Is there a scientist somewhere running the show like with REMAC and the Outsiders?

@bluetommy2 So Zod is on Earth looking for a successor? Won't that interfere with his lazy ruler ship of Rann? Either way I still dig how you spun him, and the phantom gauntlets. Is that a thing in the comics?

Fuckit, I'll join this, thinking The Return of the Legendary Fission, a true American hero. something to do with Zod, I love me some Zod.

@bluetommy2

Fission was based on the evil Impulse from Superman wasn't he? You could put a new spin on that if you wanted.

I'll get my sheet up for Hawkman later after work. I gotta make a post in Legion and move those of us in that game forward as well LOL

I *almost* went with an OMAC. LOL

I'll post a CS template later tonight when I get home. Gotta go and check on my mom across town and make sure she's got everything she needs [she's in her 70's] then I'll be available. Can't wait to see some of the characters in this!

That sounds cool too. You could do your own take on Atlantis if you want, I just don't want a lot of characters who barely differ from the comics and movies. The spin on GL taking bits of the Mandarin could work.

@The Kid Lantern I would say I want Aquaman... but fuck it my biggest regret in your last RP was that I didn't choose to play as Zoom. I'm not making that mistake again.

That being said... which specific Reverse-Flash I choose and how I end up using them ultimately depends on the Flash. Part of me wants to go with a more sympathetic and/or anti-heroic version of Eobard Thawn, but if the "Barry Allen" of this universe is totally different, then that might not be possible. And that's just one example.

@Double

Zoom could just as well be a guy in a super race car. You don't have to give them the same secret ID's either, I just used familiar stuff with the big three to make the universe seem somewhat familiar. Otherwise I'd have went with Zod Superman, Bekka WW, and Man Bat's alias the vampire Batman's like in Gods and Monsters. I also didn't want to base an RP off of that universe specifically since I haven't seen the whole film.

I'd also think about ways to use the character if the Flash is something completely the opposite of what you want with Zoom or even not used at all. The idea is we'll introduce our characters in the various cities before coming together when Metropolis is hit.

I thought about universes like Stan Lee's DCU [Earth 6]:



As well as Earth 9, the Tangent universe:



... whenever I was toying with the concept of things being similar mostly in name only. In the Tangent universe for example, Green Lantern is a woman with a Lantern on a staff that raises the dead. And the Flash is a girl with light based powers. The Atom of that universe is an atomic powered juggernaut.

With Stan Lee's DCU, Superman was a stranded space cop, Green Lantern was connected to the energies of the Tree of Life, and Shazam was like a demon or something.

You guys can take these concepts and go nuts. My Hawkman is meant to be something of a combo of Hal Jordan and Tony Stark in terms of being a pilot/inventor along with his bff who will likely be something like Tom Kalmaku. I also took a little inspiration from the Rocketeer.

Two questions:

1. Is it too early to ask for dibs on the Flash?
2. Are Earth-2 originating characters allowed?

@Diamond655

1.) Nope.

2.) We're changing enough as is, I'll probably hold off on multiverse shenanigans till we're a little more knee deep in the game and the universe we're in.
