Suicide Squad: Fresh Meat.

So now that we have owlman, ultraman and reverse flash, what can our characters do?

Bolt smiled when he saw Press attempt to flee and he began to give chase. Even these so called heroes seemed to fear one such as he and Bolt loved it. He was going to get the respect that he and his fellow test subjects deserved. Bolt was crazy, but he thought his madness was necessary to rise up against the tide of destiny. Now he was a powerful criminal and mercenary who had power make his dreams come true. Nikolai was going to make this hero's life a living hell. "Hay hero! You're still running away like a coward and didn't I tell you to not turn your back on me?" Nikolai called out as he chased after Press and charged up another electric attack. Bolt smiled as he manipulated the energy into a large hand made of pure electrical energy that was giving Press the middle finger. A few second later the hand would change into a bolt of lightning and fly straight towards Press. If it hit then Press would be electrocuted very badly and it would knock the hero out of the sky. He noticed that the hero had turned to face him and Bolt cursed at what the hero was about to do next. If Press attacked then he wouldn't be able to defend against it ---- Kobby smiled at his sucess and was glad that his attack had worked. The rhino disappeared back to the spirit world and he gave it his thanks for coming to assist him. He made sure that the people were safe before he began to focus on the other alien ground forces. He summoned his flute and began to play a beautiful tune. Like magic a large flock of African bird spirits and began to swarm and attack the aliens. Even though they wouldn't do that much damage the main intention for the flock was confuse and distract the aliens from the innocents.

@The PatriarchOkays, let's see... Firstly, The Joker is not a great villain because he's a psychotic killer. He's a great villain because his madcap lunacy is the perfect foil for Batman's gruff, dour seriousness. He's a great villain because he's incredibly versatile, going from a buffoonish character who just wants to hit Batman with a pie in public one day and deciding to torch a bus full of orphans the next. He's a great villain because he has a striking motif and appearance, and was doing the whole "evil clown" thing before it became a fad. He's a great villain because he's capable of matching wits with Batman, and is constantly trying to push him into a situation that makes the Bat admit he's a madman like himself (which... Isn't so far from the truth, since Batman is arguable just as crazy as the villains he fights, just far more functional). A lot of classic Joker stories don't actually hinge on him just murdering people. I mean the Killing Joke has him kill one, maybe two people in a plan that hinges solely around driving Gordon insane and it's generally regarded as one of (if not the) best Joker stories. And a lot of the time even if he is just killing people right and left, there's more to it than just senseless carnage. ...In fact it's very rarely senseless carnage. Either he's trying to make a point, or he's doing it for comedy value (he is a clown, after all). He's the kind of character who you laugh at, but then cringe and wonder if you really should have laughed. And even though he suffers from an immense misaimed fandom (super-sanity, anyone? Makes me roll my eyes anytime someone seriously suggests the concept), he still has little backlash from the superhero fanbase. He wouldn't be so well-regarded if he was just a psychotic murderer who just happens to look like a clown. ...Anyways, the other thing. The villains thing. Um, see, I've been doing this online RP thing for a loooong time. Cut my teeth on Digimon RPs back in the late 90's (yes, I'm an old crone ;_;). And one thing I've noticed is that when people try to make villains, a lot of the time they kind of... Miss the entire point of a villain. It's hard to explain, but... A lot of the time they just end up being kind of one-dimensional. That statement about "he's a villain so he can rampantly murder whenever he wants!" brings up bad memories of characters that were less foils for the heroes and interesting characters in their own right and more... Adolescent power fantasies and misanthropes trying to be as awful as possible without any comeuppance they would recieve in the real world. I mean I'm not saying that's what your character is, it's just that the statement reminds of so many awful villain characters I've encountered over the years. Half of them wouldn't look out of place in a 90's Image comic (or its spiritual successor, the New 52). I've just grown pretty jaded towards player-controlled villains in RPs, I guess, and not just because a lot of the time they don't really get to do much other than sit on the sidelines waiting for their turn to do villainy to pop up. I dunno, maybe I'm just not as cut-out for superhero RPs as I'd like to be. I think the main problem is that most people seem to want to focus on grim 'n' gritty realism and basically roleplay the Dark Knight trilogy, whilst I want to do things more like the Marvel cinema universe, or the Big Hero 6 film, or... Not going to say like the silver age because that's often too focussed on wackiness without actually telling a coherent story, but... I guess more emphasis on fantastical elements, as well as making the heroes act like, well, heroes. I dunno, I feel like I'm babbling here and I really should get off my soapbox, but yeah.

@Rin

But that's what's fun, not every hero needs to be morally righteous, i like variety. Superman is one of my favorite heroes, but I also love stuff like the Suicide Squad. I'm not picky with comics, I just understand the concept of diversity and that there is no true way to tell a story. There's room for good superheroes and anti heroes as well as insane villains on my shelf. Anyway Bolt is inspired off of Deadpool he just has different powers and is not as invincible. Also he's russian, I don't about any of you, but I find Russian characters really fun to play

Titans Together!

I definitely plan to have Bolt make a grand entrance and insult to the heroes. I am thinking up tons of schemes for him to pull.

Titans Together!

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC> They're heroes, is the thing. The only way to kill the Joker where he doesn't win is a legal execution or something like it. If non-lethality is an option superheroes are supposed to take it, it's how it works. I usually don't mind heroic characters killing enemies but this is a special case given what kind of characters these are. <Snipped quote by The Patriarch> There's a difference between villains who are threatening and will kill and villains who just senselessly murder all the time.

@VitaVitaAR

Yep and the most famous villain in comic books is a psychotic killer. The Joker is senseless killer and he's awesome

Titans Together!

I'm not going to have Bolt kill constantly, but he doesn't care if people die because they're in his way. I do have to voice my concern that our villains are just going to be silly and have no teeth whatsoever, this isn't the sixties people, villains should be able to kill

Titans Together!

<Snipped quote by The Patriarch> I know it's not everyone, i'm glad for that, and while Bolt is a villain he still hasn't done much. From now on I'm going to keep things tighter on the killing.

@KriticalKrab

Are you saying that he is killing too much or too little?

Titans Together!

Bolt is villain so he can kill as much as his heart desires lol Kobby has so far been not very violent
