Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

I'll get a Damian post up before the Freeze stuff goes down.

@TGM

You should turn the tables on him, bust in and shout "FREEZE" before he gets the chance to say any puns.

Double posting because I'm a piece of shit

I'm not the proudest of that post, but doing it over two days after work however it achieves the mission of advancing plot for people.

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

There were times when the Quinjets used their stealth systems, disappearing from traditional radar as well as becoming invisible to the naked eye. Then there were times when speed was necessary. Days like today where it was in plain sight for all to see, but at this point, it was all over the news. Bruce was sitting aboard, the bag of his head still stewing about the meeting with Amadeus Cho. The fool boy genius who made himself into a Hulk. Still, Jen seemed to have managed to get through to him. Maybe that would be the end of that.

Bruce stood up, tapping a series of controls on his tablet and a dias raised from the centre of the Quinjet. The 'War Table' as many took to talking about it. It formed perfectly before a hologram appeared above it, showing the current status of Vegas as well as technical and scientific readouts, for those in the jet that was so inclined.

Which was basically everyone except Jennifer. She was mainly there because over the years he had noticed a direct correlation between his friends and the people the Hulk seemed to 'trust'. Despite them being separate entities, his personal feelings towards people seemed to remain constant, if not greater, when he was the Hulk. Bruce trusted Jennifer with his life, and in the past, she had shown some level of control over the Hulk.

"This is what we know, approximately half an hour ago a dome with a radius of twenty miles formed around Las Vegas. As best we can tell every being inside this dome has been turned into a gamma-irradiated monster. S.H.I.E.L.D is attempting to set up a perimeter but the dome seems to be expanding outwards at a rate of a mile every hour. It's slow going, but if our calculations are right based on the radiation levels within the dome if we don't shut it down or find a way to get the people out within twenty-four hours any mutations they have could be irreversible."

Bruce turned towards Parker. "You're going to have to wear a radiation suit. I'd rather not see what you're capable of as a Gamma-mutate."

He then turned his attention to his Gamma-Team-Scientists. "I want all of you on the outside of the dome, based on what you know I want you to try everything within your power to slow, halt or even reverse the growth of the dome. Spider-Man, Jennifer and I are going to head towards the Strat. It's where we picked up the first spike in Gamma Energy."

The Quinjet touched down and the scientists went to work taking control of the scene. Bruce had his own equipment in a satchel, he held a scanner in one hand pouring over the data. Without even looking he took out a second scanner and passed it back to Peter. The man was a budding scientist, why he never did anything with that was beyond him. Bruce had tried to recruit him several times. Bruce would certainly put him to use now at the very least.

"The readings are still consistent with the ones we've had earlier. The strongest readings seem to be at the Strat, which still seems to be the epicentre of the disturbance." Bruce turned back and grinned at Jen and Peter. "Well. Into the Green." Stepping backwards through the barrier, he felt a warm sensation burn through him as the gamma tore through his cells. Some dormant part of his brain waking up as his heart rate increased, a familiar stench in the air. Green lightning cracked overhead with no thunder, in the distance pounding could be heard. Most likely as gamma monsters walked through the streets.

Bruce poured over as much of the data as possible as he could feel Hulk clawing at his skin, trying to get as much information as possible. Once Jennifer and Peter were through they could make their plan.

ELSEWHERE // ELSEWHEN

Bruce wafted in front of his face as the 'God' burped. Either this guy had some serious mental health problems after his travel through whatever bridge he was spat out off or he was using the guise of being a God to get something.

Or maybe he is a multi-dimensional entity that was once worshipped as a God.

Sadly the last one was an actual possibility these days. "I'm not a god, and you really don't want to fight me. Especially not in a populated city, it uh-" Bruce chuckled nervously. "-wouldn't go very well for anyone. Also, there seems to be some confusion, Earth is a planet, not a country. You can't just take it over, there are hundreds of individual nations and alliances. If I'm remembering my history correctly even Odins reign wasn't global, but instead largely restricted to Scandanavia."

He took a step back from the so-called God. The last thing Bruce wanted to do was provoke him in a small building in the middle of San Francisco. Bruce couldn't be responsible for the destruction of another city.

"How about you come to speak to my boss? That way we can sort this whole thing out, without any fighting. Sound good?"

Through the Gateways: Humanity [Closed] [Soon to be Concluded]

@Tortoise are you cool with my activity being... low?

Due to the nature of my nation if anyone has anything they want to discuss I am down for it, but just due to my new job I'm not sure how often I'm going to appear with the drive to do solo posts.

I have half of one done but I don't know when it'll get finished.

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

Now that you're back, I can start finishing up my Mr freeze post

@Ever Faithful

I would recommend quoting or Mentioning people when you talk to them directly, just so it's not lost if any discussion starts.

Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

I guess I have a question regarding my posts so far; I've been attempting to begin each one with a biography or summary of a particular individual or subject. I figured that this would give the impression that Tim is quite knowledgeable on the particular subject, alluding to his big batboy brain. Is this approach working?

@Natty

I've not read your recent post yet, but I think so. It's working for me.

I'll catch up on reading probably tomorrow, going to finish a post today, maybe two (kind off) we'll see what I can manage.

Going to post tomorrow.

<Snipped quote by Sep>

The problem that cape comics have created for themselves is that trying to make a story about one of these characters is a self-defeating enterprise. You can't introduce any stakes because none of the characters can die, or if they do they'll come back, or if they don't we'll just meet one from an alternate universe, or the whole story will be made pointless when the next writer comes onboard. They're too tied up in smelling their own farts caretaking their very lucrative "modern myths" that they forgot that myths are supposed to have a point, or a conclusion.

This is why manga is beating the big two in (last I checked) basically every market on the planet.

@Dead Cruiser

I mean in fairness to CapeShit they try to actually kill off the characters but then inevitably the successor comic flops as FanBoys are dicks. Other than a brief appearance in an event (where he was resurrected by Hydra) Bruce Banner was dead for two years. Dying in 2016s Civil War and coming back in Immortal Hulk (which is a great story).

Don't get me wrong, I believe what you say has merit and that it's incredibly hard to have characters grow/progress so a lot of the time they don't. I however believe in the last couple of years they've been making a real push to try and make these characters grow and change.

Maybe we'll finally get a PermaDeath.

and the medium has basically not had anything new or interesting to say for at least twenty years.

@Dead Cruiser

Disagree entirely on this one. Thor and Hulk have both had some amazing material within that time.
