Now before I commit or anything only to no doubt vanish I have a very serious question I need to ask.



I swear I'm only half joking.

So, just like everyone else, I also want to pursue a secondary character. My goal was to have a Marvel and DC character so I could participate on both sides of the spectrum, if you will lol. Here's my submission for a Jason Todd that worked for the Soviets first before defecting back to the US and working against them. Let me know if there are any problems, thanks.

This is going to be my first rejection outright—Jason Todd is a legacy character and given Batman’s current state of vigilantism, I don’t think it would be right to have Jason not only be older than the first Robin but also still have his origins intact. Batman started his career when your iteration was nineteen years old. If this was a Batman who has been active since the 1950s I would consider it, but this is most certainly not the case.

So quick question for @Gowi should Magneto be accepted as he is:

For someone wanting to play Wanda or her kids, or potentially Pietro, what's the limit on doing that, since they basically don't exist in this universe? Would I be allowed to pretty much House of M that shit via alternate reality Wanda?

I just wanna prepare for the worst, 'cause I've been semi-planning on taking either Billy or Wanda to begin with. Wanda's gonna be involved regardless because finding out who his real mother is, then finding her is core to a lot of versions of Wiccan. This version would likely not be an exception, even if I change a lot of aspects of him. Anyway, I juggled the ideas between Daredevil and them before ultimately deciding on Matt and potentially bringing Billy or Wanda in later. Or when I have time, as I do in the coming days.

I really do not wanna use the Age of Ultron method for bring Wanda and Pietro in 'cause that's gross.

To quote my rules—

Legacies (NPCs, sidekicks, rogues) fall under the jurisdiction of the hero they are traditionally designed around. If you want to play The Joker, The Batman player has to be okay with it and your information should never contradict...

—we’ve got this pretty much covered. Essentially what this means is any offspring of Magneto is pretty much the Magneto player's territory and as long as it’s within reason what you say about it is the bottom line unless you go inactive. I would however keep all mentions and usages of alternate reality (and time-space in general) to a “probably not” due to the fact we’re still laying foundations here and going into that territory is very precocious.

1939 - The Minutemen are formed alongside a Justice Society in its infancy. The original lineup of members are Captain Metropolis, Hooded Justice, Silk Spectre, Nite Owl, Silhouette, Dollar Bill, Mothman, and the Comedian.

The central problem with this is that there is no Justice Society of America—I imagined through events that it would be formed. Which I suppose is my issues with the Minutemen existing. I’m sure loosely affiliated government groups like the All Star Squadron, The Invaders, and others could’ve possibly existed in the 1950s but that’s a wholly different beast.

T H E M A R T I A N M A N H U N T E R
J'ohnn J'onzz, 208 (b. 1760)
Vigilante based in North America
Active since approximately Fall 1955








One of the main reasons that Earth is not as integrated in interstellar trade and galactic government has less to do with humanity and more to do with their neighbors, the Martians. Mars has a long and storied history brimming with stories of violence and political intrigue. The planet's two species, green and white martians, clashed frequently and belligerently. Unfortunately, their feuding came to a grinding, choking, and suffocating halt.

The Martians were killed off by a bio-weapon of sorts, one that forces a Martian to self-destruct. This plague reduced the population of either breed from billions to dwindling dozens, who had happened to be off-planet. Among the survivors, there were differing ideas about what to do, though two were most common: Some chose, cosmic conquest, others silenced their own cries in suicide. J'ohnn J'onzz chose neither. He decided to move to Earth.

In 1955 he came to Earth, befriending a discreet few humans who caught his interest. He spent years exploring, soaking up the culture--but then something occurred to him: These humans were just as divided as his own people. He felt it would be inappropriate to outright force these people to love each other, instead he opted to masquerade as a man--then as many men. He responds to many names: John Jones, John Deer, Dwight Eisenhower, Paul McCartney, and Charles Xavier, among them.

In the year 1967, under the guise of Professor Charles Xavier, he shocked the world by revealing that the Mutants that baseline mankind had come to hate and fear were actually the evolution of humanity: A subspecies that had no ailment whatsoever. When the world had a sour reaction to that news, he decided that further action was necessary to encourage Homo Sapiens to embrace their baby brethren.

He assembled five of these mutants, whose mutant biology provided something of an X-Factor. Named in reference to algebra, these would be his X-Men, a group of sterling youths capable of becoming whatever they set their minds to. Though there are actually a great many micro-biological differences between Homo Sapiens and Homo Superior, the public had taken note of their X-gene, a distinct and exclusive unit of genetic material found only in mutantkind, as Sapien and Superior had opted to name them officially and non-maliciously. By presenting the X-Men, he intends to enable man and mutant alike to steer clear of his own people's fate.







Additional notes, supporting cast, and the whole shebang. Optional, but also useful.

I feel at an odd place with this sheet considering it is technically imposing itself on two characters—amalgamating them. Not only does this tie the hands of any prospective players who are interested in interpreting Charles Xavier it also creates a topic of where the line of reinvention is for me. On paper, it seems innocuous enough but I like the idea of co-existence of Marvel, DC, and Indie; not particularly mish-mashing two or three of them together. Incorporating say, Archie Comics’ Sabrina Spellman character in the same sphere as Stephen Strange, Kent Nelson, John Constantine, and Zatanna Zatara is one thing and acceptable; but merging her into some Doctor Strangefate complex is in very murky territory.

Fight some nameless mooks in the alley of a Chinese Restaurant you work at only to get pulled into some ancient war between mystical ninja societies and dimensional dragons and shit. Just Bruce Lee Shang-Chi things.

This is what happens when your sorcerer father trains to you to be the deadliest assassin ever, isn't it.

@Gowi What if he just assumed Xavier's identity after he fell in a coma? Or he just led the X-Men as J'ohnn J'onzz?

Either of those ideas work?

I mean, for what's it worth, I would rather have non-alien Xavier as my rival than the Martian Manhunter. Magneto's mutant nationalism needs a good foil to oppose it; otherwise, why would he be the rival to the X-Men?

Edit: Had a brain fart whoops

I suddenly have the urge to "re-imagine" Private Beetle Bailey or Sergeant Orville P. Snorkel as NAM soldiers.

And here I am to try my hand again with another DC submission. Admittedly, my last attempt was a miss because I completely forgot about the legacy character thing. This time though, I think it'll be more successful, if only because this isn't what I'd consider a major character. However, she is someone I find intriguing. Hope it's alright.

@Gowi I just did that to prevent skipping over the JSA's importance. If I removed it from the timeline, would it be acceptable?
