The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

I am going to have Adam bring John to then others in my next post

The Outsiders (DC comics based OC Superhero RP)

Can we skip to the next morning but with a period of interaction before training begins? Maybe a breakfast of sorts for the mortals who eat.

@Lord Wraith

Should Adam refer to breakfast as morning nourishment? Just to make him more weird

Suicide Squad: Fresh Meat.

Alright. The newbies, Natty and Patriarch can chuck their posts in now.

@Teal

At work now, won't be until late tonight

If you could write a Superman story what would it be about?

You're the one making ad-hominem attacks rather than actually responding to my point. You haven't provided a scrap of evidence for any of your claims. You made a few statements, but you never actually explained why any of your points could hold merit. He's a symbol of what humanity should be? He's not even human. It's not even particularly impressive that he goes and does heroic stuff, since he's almost never at risk by doing those things. He could walk into a burning building without any of the risks involved. He could rescue trapped divers without any equipment. He could single-handedly trounce a small army before they could threaten an area. He is never at notable risk, and that's part of what makes him not a good symbol of what humanity should be. To put yourself on the line, to risk personal injury while doing these things, that's a big part of what makes a hero heroic. Any of the heroes with no or few powers are examples of this, from Batman to Captain America. They are in real risk when they go to help people, but they do it anyway. Now if you want to respond with "but he's cool, your a troll" I'd like to point out that you're not actually discussing anything. You'd be doing the text equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and humming loudly, like a child being told something they don't want to hear.

@Primal Conundrum

You claim that you have read comics and then say he's never at risk, superman has been at risk plenty of times and has put his life on the line plenty times as well. The whole no or fewer powers equals better is a bad argument, it's not about the powers, it's about the story and characters and the mythology.

Charles followed the others to the bank and he wondered what powers would be best suited for the situation. When he heard Wonder Girl question about having a plan or just going to kick some butt. He used his necromancy to summon a four undead ghouls with repulsive features and snarling faces. They awaited their master's instruction and Charles turned to face his teammates. "I suggest that my ghouls go in first to give these robbers a scare and then we follow in right after to catch them off guard" he said to them as his face became black and white like a skeleton.

If you could write a Superman story what would it be about?

I -am- stating a fact. Superman is one of the more boring and poorly-designed superheroes. Fine. You want it to be on-topic? I'd write a story that kills him off in a way that won't let him come back. As it is, even though he theoretically has weaknesses, he's been brought back from the dead so many times that it never feels like he's ever at risk at all. So basically, I'd have a situation where he needs to stay dead in order to keep some massive, world-ending threat at bay. Captain America is willing to jump on a grenade to protect those around him, if Superman is supposed to be anywhere close to the Cap'n, then he needs a proverbial grenade of his own.

@Primal Conundrum

You're such a troll. Well screw you and your bias and incorrect facts

If you could write a Superman story what would it be about?

Actually I formed my opinion after reading some of them. They got me to the point where I'm at. You know, it's possible that I may be well-informed and just have a different opinion than you? My disagreeing doesn't mean that I don't know what I'm talking about.

@Primal Conundrum

You're comments sounded more like you were stating a fact instead of an opinion. Also your comment is basically trolling since it is not relevant to the op.

Suicide Squad: Fresh Meat.

King Shark is in the house, I'm still working on him, but he will be a member of the squad.

@The Patriarch

Dude, I'm sorry, but King Shark won't be available for now. I'll have a talk with Teal, my Co-GM, and if we decide you can have him, you can, but for now, I'm limiting you to Catman.

@DeathstrokeSW

You said in the op that we could have multiple characters

If you could write a Superman story what would it be about?

He's an alien who's invulnerable to most things on Earth, leaves swaths of destruction when he fights, and acts as though he were somehow above the law just because of his powers. Captain America is a much more compelling character, especially the movie version. Not even originally a particularly noteworthy individual, his strength of character was the deciding factor of why he was chosen to get his abilities. He earned them for being a good person. He's still fundamentally human, and though powerful he doesn't see himself as being above anyone. If Superman is a symbol of anything, he's a symbol of how far we've come in learning to make interesting characters. He's flat as a board. Also, Man of Steel was a piss-poor movie.

@Primal Conundrum

You clearly have never read a superman comic. He's had plenty of great stories, but you would never check them out of course
