[quote=@Archmage MC] The thing is, DC heroes are too... boring, or a vast majority of them are. Sure Marvel has a similliar problem, but at least they try to bring levity and realism/day to day stuff to light, while DC hasn't done that since the DCAU, which wasn't even their doing but the animation studio behind Batman TAS. And I mean more the character IS a cartoon. Most people don't care about canon superhero chars, the genre is more for making fun OCs with canon chars being NPCs. (I still remember you trying to start this topic over and over but not allowing OCs for the LONGEST time. you might have a stigma on these forums because of that.) I think thats what your telling me, yeah? Or if your saying its too OP, well, its a universe with Superman. I'm pretty sure OP gets thrown out the window with his mere existence. Even then it would be more like Ed from Ed, Edd, n Eddy mixed with a few tex avery stuff or a few disney stuff, and ofc something that lets them make Superman a non issue while not making them all that strong vs everyone else. [/quote] You don't read enough comics if you think Marvel brings more to the table. They bring more #1 issues and reboots, sure, but realism and day to day stuff didn't really get put back into the comics until after the Avengers films and even then it wasn't enough to make their heroes interesting. That's why we've got a female Thor, why Steve Rogers is no longer Cap [what is this like the 6th time?], and why every Spider-character they have across eight universes is now in their mainstream universe [boy, talk about realism LOL]. But that's neither here nor there, personal preference is just that. I think a ton of X-team books are boring when I'd settle for a solo comic about Colossus, Multiple Man, or the Phoenix. While most people don't like RP'ing cannons, it's not completely unheard of. My Advanced JL: Futures End is 75% cannons or inspired by cannons, just takes a good writer to know how to get into a character with history's head. Another Advanced game I'm a part of [All-Star Marvel] is NOTHING but cannons, and it's moving along just fine. I'm not telling you anything, not quite sure what you meant there, and this is only the second time I've made an iCheck for this particular game. Most games I try to make include OC's, but once in awhile... yeah I'm guilty of trying to make a game with some cannons [like Uncanny Avengers]. Trying to argue realism and then going on to bring a literal cartoon of a character into a world though, let alone a world as dark as Gotham, just baffles me LOL. In short, yeah the character IS too OP'ed if you think he should be able to take down the likes of Superman with a cartoon anvil or an exploding cigar. We're all rookies here. None of us can even hold a candle to the weakest JL member [Batman]. None of us really have a half dozen powers with virtually no limits to their sub-sets of powers. It's odd though, and something I'm seeing more of... 'Cartoon powers' and 'Candykinesis' have become the new 'shadow powers' of this generation of RPer. There was a movie in the 90's with Brad Pitt, Cool World, where a guy basically has the ability to warp reality and make cartoons come to life. The aforementioned character couldn't put a dent in Superman. His cartoon spider sidekick couldn't do anything to the Man of Steel. In a COMPLETELY original universe, a guy with cartoon powers would be fine. Coming into a DC themed game and saying 'my guy could kick Superman and Darkseid's asses...' is like me going into a Marvel game and claiming 'my guy has the power of Galactus...' and wondering why he's not acceptable for a team like New Warriors or X-Men Academy. __________________________________ This is still open for new players. If you think your character should be able to take down a Justice Leaguer though when we're all rookies... don't be shocked when it's not accepted. We need well rounded characters, not some two dimensional cardboard cutouts. While it's called 'Titans of Gotham', it's more or less equal parts Teen Titans, Outsiders, and Birds of Prey with a dash of the spice and flavor from the animated Young Justice series. In the coming weeks the current battle against the Court of Owls will come to a close, at some point we'll meet this universe's Justice League, and I'll likely introduce a cannon/legacy character as an NPC. So if you're interested, let's discuss characters! ~KL~
