Heroes such as Spiderman [Miles Morales] and Ms. Marvel [Kamala Khan] are getting grey and entering their 40's. Many heroes of their generation have already retired such as Nova [Sam Alexander], and Wolverine [X-23] is among the staff at the Xavier Institute. A new generation of heroes has already started hitting the scene with reports of a new Spider-person, among other things on the Daily Bugle jumbo-tron in Times Square. The world was recently devastated as Steve Rogers, the original Capt. America, passed away in his old age. His successor, Sam Wilson [aka the Falcon], retired from his honorary position as Capt. America shortly after and turned the shield back over to the government. However, nobody was prepared for the return of [insert villains]. How will the new generation of heroes manage? Team-ups? A new super-team? Allies will be made and lines will be drawn. Legacies must continue, heroes and villains reborn... or the future is lost.

Make sense. If we can't make heads or tails of your posts they're likely to get skipped over. 4.) Get permission before using another player's character in your posts if it involves changing the scene or making actions. Everybody will take beatings in this game in battle however, so don't get pissed if you get punched or blasted into a wall by the bad guys! Namely me controlling the badguys... 5.) Problems with the game or players should be sent directly to me through PM's. I don't want a bunch of bickering in the OOC. 6.) Abandoned characters will be used as NPC's or killed off within the context of the story. 7.) “I was waiting for [insert player/character] to make a move” is not how this game is played. 8.) There is no rule #8. 9.) My word is law. 10.) Obey the law. 11.) In the event that I'm offline for any period of time, the Co-GM [@BlackSam3091] will take control and HIS word will then be law.

A lot of the things in the home of the original Thing were built specifically to match his needs, so any tools or appliances were made for giant rocky hands and fingers to operate. Ben Grimm was in his early 70's now, as he was the oldest member of the Fantastic Four back in the 80's and 90's. He had been training his nephew for several months now after discovering the boy had geokinetic powers. Jacob was the great nephew of Ben, and idoled his uncle for years. Jacob stayed with him one weekend a month in his teen years after he lost his mother to cancer. Presently, Jacob was in a sleeveless suit his uncle had given him. "Now I went through a lot of trouble to get all of these rocks so we don't rip up the floor of my pad like last time..." Ben began saying in the large basement like area that did still have some damage, "I wanna see you build more than hands and hammers." "What do you mean?" Jacob asked a bit puzzled. "I wanna see you cover your whole body." Ben replied. "My whole body?" Jacob asked. "Did I stutter?" Ben said sternly. A faint blue energy escaped the boy's eye and the rocks around them began floating. Jacob started with the feet and legs, adding an extra few inches to his height. The hands and arms lead into the chest. "A big grey version of him, shouldn't be too hard..." Jacob thought straining a bit now as the rocks came up around his collar. As the rocks enveloped his head before they could cover his eyes and nose the same faint blue energy now projected something of an opening. Ben surely didn't have the smarts to explain it so he thought nothing of it. "Doesn't look too bad, kid. I dunno what's going on with the face, but it looks legit. Is it taking a lot out of ya?" Ben asked. "I can probably hold this form at least five or ten minutes..." Jacob began before the elderly Thing took a swing at him. WHAM! "What was that for?!?" Jacob screamed. "I ain't as strong as I once was, but I could still knock over a house with that hay-maker. Didn't even drop you to one knee and you're still a rookie." Ben explained. "Maybe you're just that old now, Uncle Ben." Jacob said laughing and dissipating the rock armor. "Where's Doctor Doom when you need him?" Ben said now looking down at the young man jokingly. ~KL~
