Alright, as probably the biggest Superman fanboy here (don't argue, it's true) I have to give my vote to @Gowi even though I reaaaaaally don't like Clark being a janitor. That and since I might be doing Lex we might have to work together on the history section as you sure determine quite a bit of his history. Overall though Gowi's Superman just feels more... Superman to me. I don't really like the Smallville changes or the overly political feel of @Morden Man's character. He just seems to cynical to me personally.

Yeah, feel free to talk as normal, guys. There's no need for the voting to take over the thread completely.

For the avoidance of doubt I'm going to restate for everyone's benefit that this is a One Universe roleplay and not an Ultimate one.

That means that Matt Murdock of the New Frontier world is the same Matt Murdock of the 616 universe at birth. The events thereafter may have changed slightly due to the fact he grew up in the same world as Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, etc. For example, Dr. Strange may not be the Sorcerer Supreme of the New Frontier world if a DC mystic is deemed to be more powerful than him. That's not an existential change to the character but a byproduct of the characters having lived in the same world.

Fundamentally changing a character outside of these parameters is not acceptable. You need to explain how said Marvel or DC character coexisting with their other company counterpart has caused the changes you wish to make.

Are we all clear on that? Because it seems like there is still some confusion.


So to clarify, Matt being blinded and thus becoming the man without fear could become a Green Lantern due to having stronger will than say Hal Jordon. But Barry Allen couldn't be born a mutant and become an X-Men.

I like both sheets, so this is a tough call. So I feel I owe @Morden Man an apology as he has a strong concept I'd love to see played. However, between the two, I have to give my nod to @Gowi.

My vote goes to @Gowi's Superman application.

I'm personally torn between the Supermen. If I could somehow squash the two together and distill them down to the points I love about both, this would be much easier. The decision is made all the tougher by knowing that both guys are exceptional writers. I'm gonna have to let this stew for a few hours more.

Given that there are no new Superman applications I'm debating whether to be cheeky and apply to be the Sentry :P





In all seriousness, are there any characters people want to see who haven't been done yet? I'm debating is it worth getting into the murky depths of the sea with Aquaman, but if he shares the oceans with Namor, could be awkward...

At the same time, though, couldn't some of DC's metahumans be rebranded as mutants? I know in the last One Universe game on here that I was a part of, Beast Boy was one of the X-Men for instance.

EDIT: Rather, he was a student at Xavier's school, but you get what I mean.

Was honestly considering Aquaman, although the whole Namor thing put me off :P

EDIT: Also @Gowi has my vote! Apologies @Morden Man

@Eddie Brock I guess it stands to reason that given the concept of mutants doesn't exist in the DC universe, some of their metahumans might in fact be considered mutants in a shared universe where mutants are considered a thing.

@Morden Man Could I not have Luthor invite Supes to the Justice League? I just don't see him doing that. Oh I started on my sheet by the way.

For the life of me I can't think of any DC Hero who was actually born with their powers, not including aliens. Now assuming we're all on the same page, metahumans are people who gained abilities through external factors such as the 'Big Bang' in Dakota whereas Mutants are people born with an X-Gene that matures around puberty.

Why not? Plenty of adaptations have Lex attempting to harness Superman's powers to his own end before coming to hate him. I don't think it's out of character at all.

Either way, sheets aren't gospel. They're made in a vacuum before any of the rest of the game is given flesh. Nobody is going to break a sweat if you, with the consent of whoever plays Superman, go against a minor detail in your sheet.

Are alternate universe versions of characters allowed?
Maybe a player prefers the Ultimate version of Norman Osborn over the 616 version. Or the television version of Supergirl over the New 52 version or perhaps the Linda Danvers/Matrix version pre-New 52? What if someone wanted to play Matt Murdock as he appears in Earth-65 (Spider-Gwen), as the Kingpin's right hand man?

Are alignment changes allowed before the start of the game or perhaps during the role play?
Like with the example of Dr Strange and Dr Fate. Could Stephen Strange possibly go to the dark side, jealous of Fate acquiring the title of Sorcerer Supreme?
