Well we're almost a week into the IC and already on our third page so out of curiosity, what are the driving factors and influences in your story?

For me, I've never read a single comic containing or pertaining to Namor. My largest exposure to the character was through [@Morden Man]'s Fantastic Four posts in Ultimate One Universe. Instead, I'm drawing DC's Aquaman, Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings for a lot of influence. Add to a dash of the MCU's depiction of Thor and my time playing in Ultimate One Universe and you basically have the recipe for my Namor.

One thing I'm really focusing on this is fleshing out the world up front instead of sort of winging it. With Thor, I played it relatively safe by putting him a small generic town and for the most part, staying away from Asgard. Here, Atlantis is at the forefront and will be heavily featured in the coming posts as a good chunk of the first third of my story is set there. 

But that's about it for me, so I now I'm curious to hear from you guys and to read between the lines to see where your stories are going.

CWVerse, The Flash: Rebirth, some Kingdom Come, Superior Spider-Man and Flashpoint are the pretty obvious influences to my run of The Flash, though, ultimately my concept hasn't ever really been done before and there's not a whole lot going on that's about Thawne being a good guy, or, at least pretending to be one. The driving force behind Flash's simply the novelty of the idea. I like Thawne, he's a villain who's entire characteristic's built upon hating his nemesis. His entire identity's hating Barry, which isn't really something he's got in common with other villains. Lex doesn't just /live/ to fuck with Superman. He has his own agenda.

Thawne rarely has a clearer goal than to ruin Barry's life, and by my first post - he's already succeeded. He has already won. Yet, that didn't make him complete, not satisfied. He still desires to live, he still has things in his life he wants to do. Thawne's been an outcast his entire life, and my run's very much about him learning to live his life, freeing himself of the burden of his hatred for Allen.

Also, all the interactions with the Flash's villains are gonna be a whole lot of fun. I do look forward to some crossovers, too.

I'm taking it!  It's like an homage only more blatant and hacky!
