"Been some twenty odd years since metas started popping up. Frankly? I'm getting sick and tired of it.

Sure, sure, you can say that the heroes balance it out. 'Supersonic defeated Dr.Metamorpho just last week!' you say. Tell that to the twenty people Supersonic liquefied when he was running to the fight.

Look at any source, and it all says the same goddamn thing. Metahumans are the most destructive force this planet has ever faced. They beat out any stat. Metahuman activity worldwide in the last year alone beat out death tolls from terrorism, natural disasters, and suicide, combined. If that isn't a problem, then I don't know what the hell is."

-Senator Joel Alvarez(R) to the Secretary of Defense

Welcome to Collateral Damage. This idea is borne out of a lot of things, including Matt Fraction's run on Hawkeye, The Boys by Garth Ennis, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Hardcore Henry, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Essentially, what I'm trying to strike here is a more 'realistic' superhero story, in that superhero combat as depicted in the comics, and recent movies such as Man of Steel and The Avengers is highly destructive.

As far as tone goes, I'm looking for what I can only describe as the bastard lovechild of Guardians of the Galaxy, Hardcore Henry, and Kingsman. Your character would be able to be a superhero, villain, or part of a Governmental Anti-Cape squad. There would, of course, be copious amounts of violence.

What about an Hero that got tired of the life and is just trying to stay under the radar and are inevitably forced back into the fold?

Soooooo into it. A nice anti-hero thing would be cool to do, I think.

I could be down for this. I like how you made Supersonic liquefy people when he ran to fight the villain, assuming the Senator isn't a lying sack of excrement, like most politicians.

I'm into this. Though theres a character I like using that fits this RP. Would someone with a Super Strength/Regeneration powerset be a bit much?

I'm pretty sure that'd be fine. But we'd need to be very clear with each other on the limitations. I'm thinking about a Spiderman-ish power level for the RP, but negotiations can be made.

Sounds pretty cool, dude.

I read the book when I was younger, and about a year ago I watched the movie three times in as many days, which probably wasn't a good idea. Been meaning to reread it, actually.

Probably going to wait another day or so to see if we drum up any more interest before I get around to posting an OOC.

@DocTachyon Well if its any consolation, Spiderman(Or any control hero, IE Hawkeye, Starlord, ext...) is her direct hard counter with how I have her weaknesses and powerset designed. But shes able to beat Thor and Hulk to a pulp. I can send you a PM with a character sheet I made for another RP that didn't get off the ground if you want.

Not really? At least, not at the start. It *might* descend into that later, but it's early days enough that I'm not making any promises.

Oh right, I thought I posted interest last night but apparently I didn't. Me and a companion of mine are both fleshing out a rather... unconventional psychic idea that we will be apping together. So that's two more~
