Amalgam - Hour of X

KID CANNONBALL

DC/Marvel Characters Used: Kid Flash (Bart Allen) + Cannonball
Name: Samuel 'Sam' Allen
Alias: Kid Cannonball
Age: 20
Powers:
Cannon Force - By tapping into what he calls the Cannon Force, Sam is able to fly at hypersonic speeds as well as create baseball sized fireball-like projectiles he throws from his hands. The Force also increases his durability (he calls it his Cannon Force-Field) and strength, as well as his agility while in the air. Unknown to Sam, when he was struck by lightning as a teenager it activated and altered his meta-mutant DNA. He's stronger and faster than he should have been.

Max Strength - 5 Tons
Max Speed - Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound, roughly 3800 mph)

Weaknesses:
Same basic weaknesses for any human in light body armor. While he's strong still when not in the air, his durability and speed are weakened when he's grounded. Sorta like how Aquaman is stronger in the water, KC is just twice as powerful in the air.

Team Affiliation: Teen Titan X
Personality: impulsive, honest, trustworthy, gentlemanly, short-tempered
Appearance:


BRIEF Bio:

Sam is the grandson of a time traveler, who was struck by lightning in the year 2099, and sent back to the year 2023. After mastering his abilities in what seemed like no time at all, the flying speedster joined the Teen Titan X under the leadership of the blonde haired Sparrow. After a team up or two with Spider-Boy, and learning about the importance of family even if it is artificial or adopted, Sam looked up his grandfather who was on the cusp of figuring out time travel in a small Virginian town.

Despite being smart, getting sent back into the past made Sam look like a bumbling southern gentleman who can't get the hang of technology. After a brief relationship with Sparrow, Sam moved in with his younger grandad until the call to all available Titans was sent out by Night Vision.

Supporting cast/characters:

Sparrow - (Robin/Stephanie + Jubilee), Spider-Boy - (Superboy + Spider-Man), Nathaniel Allen - (Barry Allen + Nathaniel Richards)

Amalgam Universe Notes: Some characters obviously won't line up one for one with other Amalgams and that's ok LOL. The grandfather of Cannonball wasn't also Reed Richards' father, but Nathaniel Richards was the first time-traveler that popped into my head from Marvel so he was combined with Barry Allen for the time traveling grand daddy.

Amalgam - Hour of X

*Hit That Theme Music*

Night Vision... Orphan... Ice Beast... Gridlock... Kid Cannonball... Marauder... Darkbird... Reactor... Spellbinder...

Years ago Scott Grayson was the original Sparrow of the hero called Dark Claw, until his meta-mutant powers kicked in. After years of training with the violent vigilante as well as a chance encounter with Dr. Strangefate, Grayson went on to form the Titan X (10). Shortly after, Grayson took the name Night Vision and the team evolved over the course of roughly nine years. Members of the team would come and go, dozens of heroes it seemed like. The group even had an off-shoot, the Teen Titan X, that had several iterations as well. Now during a time of crisis, the remaining members of both groups have banded together to stop mutual enemies.

_________________________________________

Its been too long since I've had time to RP, so I've been cooking up this idea for a few weeks now. Amalgam Comics style universe with a twist, just creating characters combining heroes from the Titans/Teen Titans with the X-Men. I chose to only incorporate a handful of the established Amalgams from previous universes because I didn't wanna step on too many toes in what you fine folks have to play with. There's no Amazon flying around so Storm is free to use in a new Amalgam character. This whole idea stemmed from a Titan X concept I saw somewhere on the internet recently that had the Night Vision Amalgam leading a squad. I came up with a backstory and connection to previously established Amalgams and here we are LOL.

Who on Earth could mutants like Gambit and Morph combine with from the Titans universe? Maybe Gambit and Arsenal could be merged to create Wildcard? If I could do it justice I would totally combine Kid Devil and Nightcrawler to make Hellcrawler. What would a combination of Wonder Girl and Jean Grey's Marvel Girl be called? Prodigy? Girl Boss?

Like the majority of my RPs, I'll be looking for around 7-11 players. We're still just a player or two shy of where I'd like to be numbers wise. The only requirements are that characters are based on combinations of Marvel and DC heroes affiliated with the X-Men and Titans franchises. Here's a list of previously established Amalgams, as well as the 'original villains,' and accepted players' Amalgams in a separate list...

AMALGAM - Hour of X

Was gonna say F it and go ahead and move forward with Night Vision, cause I just couldn't do the justice I felt Hellcrawler deserved, then I got a surge of inspiration and came up with a couple more Amalgams. Azreal (the 'space angel') + Angel to make the Earth Angel or maybe I'll go with Kid Flash + Cannonball to make Kid Cannonball.

I think I'm going with Kid Cannonball, but I'm gonna go ahead and do a write up for an IC opener while I've got the right headspace. Gotta try and get my 2.8 year old down for a nap soon though...

AMALGAM - Hour of X

@Half Pint I'm glad you came back, look what I finally found on the internet again...

AMALGAM - Hour of X

I'm gonna get the OOC/IC up over the weekend. I may switch to another character and make Night Vision the mentor type of character. Probably go with Hellcrawler. That'll give us at least one more on the roster of heroes.

Space Ghost & the Galaxy Trio

Across the vastness of space, evil flourishes in the darkness between the stars. With territories spread far and wide across the Galactic Federation, pirates and hijackers have ransacked these distant colonies with cruel disregard for the innocent scientists living within them. Yet there is a cosmic vigilante who metes out justice across the spaceways, bringing vengeance to those who prey upon the defenseless. They call him the Space Ghost...

Battling interplanetary evil in their star cruiser the Condor One, three officers in the Galactic Patrol were transformed into the Galaxy Trio after being exposed to an unknown energy in the Omega System. Now the Trio report directly to the Galactic Federation Council. They've taken down slave traders, drug smugglers, and weapons dealers... now the Federation wants them to go after someone acting outside of the law. The Galaxy Trio have been tasked with bringing in the one called 'Space Ghost.'

_________________________________________________________

That's it. A crossover nearly sixty years in the making!

I've mentioned this almost every day for at least a week... but the new Space Ghost series from Dynamite Entertainment is just that mf good. I love the idea of the HB heroes all being in a shared universe, and I know that its a bit more niche than Marvel or DC themed RPs, but something I've wanted to see since I was a kid watching reruns of all the old Hanna Barbera stuff was a crossover between Space Ghost and the Galaxy Trio. The Galaxy Trio was introduced as the companion cartoon in the middle of the Birdman show. Vapor Man, Meteor Man, and Gravity Girl worked alongside 'Galactic Patrol' to police the galaxy. While 'Galactic Patrol' is mentioned in both Space Ghost and the Galaxy Trio they're never seen to any real degree and the closest thing fans got was the Future Quest event years ago putting ALL of the HB heroes in a shared universe.

And that's the bare bones of it. I need three additional players for arguably one of the smallest RP's I've done in years. I'm going back and watching all of the episodes of both shows cherry picking villains and finding potential connective tissue between the franchises. I've also got some micros I'll share if we get this thing going. I've got ideas to work in SG's sidekicks as well as the Teen Force if people wanna do a larger game with the other space faring heroes of the HB universe.

Are there any other Hanna Barbera fans out there? Anybody read that Future Quest series a few years back from DC Comics? Will any of you answer the call?!

AMALGAM - Hour of X

@Silver Carrot Damn good CS!

I *think* that puts us at 4 or 5 players... still need a couple more if anybody else is watching!

AMALGAM - Hour of X

@Omega Man

Ooh, I like the Rogue/Ravager idea! I think I'll develop that! Given the meanings of both 'rogue' and 'ravager', and the fact she temporarily steals powers, I'm thinking 'Marauder'

Edit: Besides Terminator, what would the supporting Amalgms in this backstory be? An Amalgam with Mystique? Should she have initially been a villain to Titan X?

@Silver Carrot

If it were me, I'd make her mom a combo of Lady Shiva and Mystique and call her Lady Mystique. And you could make her a villain originally who joined the group at some point in it's nine year history. The name Marauder works well too!

<Snipped quote by Omega Man>

Ohhh shoot I missed that. I'll just change him to Psimon Sinister! Unless you had other plans for the kind of villain he is? Or in this case, if it would break it timeline-wise?

@Polaris North

Psimon Sinister is still mostly Mister Sinister just with the added bonus of having telepathy and telekinesis as well as part of his brain exposed similar to Psimon. I think he still fits with what you were shooting for...
