@Divine Darkness Let's have it then LOL

The Supermen of America

Central City

The Supermen teleported into the Flash Museum and made a quick exit out of the back entrances. Longshadow immediately increased his size and started smacking gorillas and throwing them at each other. He noticed the new kid wearing a Superman suit in the distance dodging cars thrown by the telekinetic mind of Gorilla Grodd. The simian soldiers were quite literally all around. Obsidian and the android Red Tornado fought alongside Longshadow and pushed forward. The heroes tried to make their way to Grodd and the strange mechanical device that the gorillas had in the center of the city absorbing residual Speed Force energies.

“You think yourself worthy to wear that symbol and that red cape, BOY?!” Grodd snarled throwing cars at the young Superman. @King Kindred

Gorilla soldiers were all around with energy blasters as well as blunt melee weapons. Not to mention their brute strength and feral nature.

“We have to find what they’ve done with the Flash!” Longshadow screamed over the chaos to anyone who would listen.

And that was when things went from bad to worse for the Supermen. A giant golden hand grabbed the Red Tornado out of the sky and with his other gigantic hand… Congorilla ripped the robotic hero in half!

“What’s the matter with YOU?! I thought you were HERO?” Longshadow screamed as he began to wonder if the gorilla hero was under some mind control of Grodd’s.

“I have to protect his device until he absorbs enough of the Speed Force… he has my family hostage. I’m sorry…” the golden gorilla said growing even larger than Longshadow and smacking him into the nearby river almost a mile in the distance.

@Dusty The Gorillas are attacking Central City, not Metropolis. Anyone who wants action in Metropolis has the radio station situation with Livewire and Bloodsport. You also misspelled Gordon for Gordan when mentioning the commissioner. Other than those nitpicks it was a good post!

GM Question for the Cast???

If you could have a secondary character or introduce another side character/NPC who would it be and what would they bring to the RP?

The Supermen of America

We might need Supergirl in Central City if Grodd takes the mind of rookie Superman.

@Crimson Flame There's a few options actually.

* Teleport into Central City to find/rescue the Flash.

* Defeat Gorilla Grodd and his army in Central City, and avoid civilian harm at all costs.

* Stay in Metropolis and rescue hostages at the Daily Star Radio Station.

* Defeat both Livewire and Bloodsport, and avoid civilian harm at all costs.

* Begin elsewhere in the context of the here and now. People are still trying to reach survivors inside 'Machine City' in Coast City, CA. Bat-Bane and a small number of jacked Robin goons have taken over the Gotham underworld. Beast Boy and whomever wants to be in Outreach 2 in Jump City [at Titans Tower] could be doing something. Or you can introduce your character outside of the current narrative and bring them into the group sometime in a later post.

Metropolis…
Two Weeks Ago…

The Justice League was in the middle of a transitional period. Booster Gold and other heroes who’s best days were probably behind them were among their group. Wonder Woman was last seen in Europe fighting demi-Gods. The monster from space called Doomsday completely wrecked the League. Green Arrow managed to stay in the fight even with a broken arm. Batman suffered a broken back after the behemoth folded his car in half with him in it. Bloodwynd and the Brazilian hero Fire were both dead. Superman and the monster fought through Metropolis and in his final act, after being super charged by Captain Atom, Superman somehow exploded with solar energy and left Battery Park a giant crater.

Lois Lane cried with the fallen hero in her arms as he took his last breaths. Clark had proposed three days before the creature landed on Earth.

Coast City…
Ten Days Ago…

The League couldn’t catch a break even with the return of Hal Jordan from a mission in deep space. Having already corrupted the Lantern’s ring in orbit, the man once called Hank Henshaw corrupted the technology at STAR Labs in California as well as the hero Cyborg in an attack on the Justice League. The former astronaut blamed the heroes for the deaths of his three teammates, when in reality it was the arrival of the Doomsday creature that destroyed the satellite Henshaw was station on. Radiation from the creature’s ship altered Henshaw’s DNA and made his body a corporeal energy that could inhabit machines. After his power grew in STAR Labs with the inclusion of nanite machines that could absorb mass, the tech within the body of Cyborg, as well as the somewhat unlimited energy in Green Lantern’s ring… half of the city was blanketed in grey tech. All attempts to breach what the news outlets are calling ‘Machine City’ have failed.

Metropolis…
Present Day…

Outreach One was somewhat of a success. The #SupermenOfAmerica movement was in full swing and Black Lightning was one of the remaining League members who made it happen. Heroes young and old were gathered, some wore a belt buckle, and others sported the S on their chests, while some opted to use the shape of the pentagon on their suits. Black Lightning was on a video call with Green Arrow in the Monitor Room when an emergency call came in from Central City of all places. Longshadow, the android Red Tornado, and other heroes were nearby.

“This is Black Lightning of the Justice…” he began before pausing for a moment, “of the Supermen of America… I can barely get your signal.”

“This is Detect… ive… Ha…rt. CCPD. Gorillas are… illing… eople..!” The signal began to fade again as Longshadow and Red Tornado approached the monitor behind Lightning.

“Something’s wrong. The Flash didn’t call for help himself… and that detective was screaming something about gorillas?!” Jefferson questioned before taking point and gathering a team.

“I need Supermen and Superwomen to dispatch to Central City and check in on the Flash and assist in whatever way possible. I’ll program the teleporters in the teleporter room, we have working units disguised as memorabilia in the Flash Museum’s Justice League wing. If more backup is required I’ll put in a call to Beast Boy and his group to give us an assist.” Lightning said to the crowd of heroes in the lobby of the HQ.

Suddenly the shadowy hero Obsidian formed out of the nearby Monitor Room with a surprised look on his face.

“I know now probably isn’t the best time, sir, but…” Obsidian said pulling back on his shadow form revealing a bit of his face…

“Calm down son… what is it now?” Lightning questioned.

“Livewire and Bloodsport have taken the Daily Star Radio Station hostage. She’s already killed an intern and forced them to play her band’s music… and it is so much cringe.” Obsidian explained talking somewhat with his hand gestures.

“Did that guy just say BLOODSNORT?! What the **** is THAT guy’s power set? Bloody snot generation and manipulation?” Longshadow asked facetiously.

Central City…

“We have five gorillas on the Flash breaking his legs every two minutes to get around his healing factor, Lord Grodd.” said a soldier of the Gorilla City rebels approaching the armored leader.

“Excellent. Taking down another founding League member will surely get me where I need. To be in a position of REAL power… The Flash’s friends will surely be here sooner than later. Prepare the soldiers." the armored gorilla responded with a grin.

The Supermen of America

Final form LOL

The Supermen of America

I'm working on finishing the opening post of the IC. I'm setting something up for the Metropolis group, though I can't remember if it's taking place in Central City or Metropolis. Also reworking Supergirl's micro, as well as Superboy's with his hood down. The first 'arc' for the group in Metropolis will deal with a familiar face in the Flash's rogues gallery. Gotta run a couple errands though but I should be back shortly...
