Would anyone ever be interested in anything like that? Just finished Injustice 2, and it feels like doing something of this nature would be great and fun to roleplay in. Just using characters already established in the D.C. universe, but in this alternate universe where characters are different in ways from small to large like say Superman is evil, Batman is Thomas Wayne, Scarecrow is one of the world's leading psychologists, Flash wears green and hates tacos, etc. Everybody would be able to create their own "lore"/tweaks and changes to the character they choose.

I think it'd be really interesting and a lot of fun. I haven't seen anything like it so far, and I get that most Superhero RP's have OC's but using the pre-existing characters is a nice change of pace plus you can add so much flavor to the characters which gives people so much more freedom. Just imagine how cool tweaking origin stories and character traits would be! You can go crazy or be reserved! Like if you've seen Flashpoint Paradox you'd know how great it can be.

Of course I'm not the kinda gal that could ever be seen running and managing a roleplay. I'm throwing this out there to see who's interested and as sort of a request, I guess, to anybody who feels like making a roleplay? I feel like this could be great if it was in capable hands. Of course when it comes to the characters and lore there'd have to be a bunch of discussion and set up, like if someone wants to be an Aquaman that decides he wants to conquer the Earth than he can't just pop up out of nowhere and the other characters somehow be shocked, they'd already know about it by establishing the lore in the OOC or whatever. I'm not a pro at all this by any means, but I think a proper DC comics AU/multiverse/Injustice/Crisis roleplay would be great and a nice change of pace. Hopefully someone agrees!

I like! Only played Injustice 1 and read from Year one up to Injustice 1. But we all know Flash (or Supes?) is bound to be OP, so... I propose either banning them or tweaking them so they're not as OP. I'm not proposing to be the GM for this, but I am expressing interest.

I kinda wanna play John Constantine (I have 0 idea about the guy except magic, which I like), but with false memories. I bet it'd be fun playing a powerful but clueless dude, wondering why he's being hunted down by almost everything.

If Batman can beat the shit out Superman then Superman isn't OP.

I don't plan on playing a Kryptonian but if you are going to fuck with Superman then I won't play. If you are going to be doing a DC RP if it happens in the comics then it should be allowed in the RP, if not then create your own universe from scratch.

I'd agree that we don't remove any characters just because we might see them as too powerful. Again, you can tweak the characters to even out the odds anyway, and Superman doesn't necessarily have to be an evil dick, which means that he'd hold back and stuff. Obviously don't get all out of hand with your characters powers without giving the other person a chance to respond. Like in Injustice the characters take these pills which give them Kryptonian level durability and strength, which gives someone like Harley Quinn the chance to hang with Black Adam or Superman. We don't need to go down that road because that might make the playing field too even, but we won't have to worry about characters being over powered when stuff like this has been done many times in the comics and Superman doesn't just kill everybody in five seconds.

Superman: *Punches Aquaman into the sky*


Any number of super villains and Batman with Kryptonite puts Superman down.
Any number of magical super villains and heroes puts Superman down.
Any number of super villains and heroes with red sun generators, red sun grenades puts Superman down.

Firestorm can create Kyrptonite, DEO can create artificial Kryptonite.

There are numerous ways to knock Superman down a peg or two or outright kill him. If a player can't figure out how that proves they are not good enough to being playing.

Yeah, no. I'll give you props for being so hung up on Superman, an afterthought example in my proposal. Flash is essentially limitless, and it wouldn't take much for an RPer to bring out massive asspulls to godmode, villain or hero. Hell, even Firestorm is freaking OP. What you see in the games and comics happen only because of the game limitations or plot armor. With RP there would be no limits. For this to work, you'd have to have fair players to work with the OP characters, and a fair and just GM to bring balance.

But yeah, I don't know shit about RPing since I'm a novice. I do believe this won't work out at, least for me so I'm out. Good luck with the stuff.
