My idea for this is to rework the Avengers as a group of teenage superheroes who get in over their heads and have to grow into their new heroic roles. To start, this version of the Marvel Universe is largely identical to our real world, with the exception of some old media of Captain America and other heroes in the 1940s. Notions of magic, aliens, and superpowers are largely considered fictional by the public, and all our starter characters are normal humans at the beginning of the RP. 

For the sake of simplicity, I'm taking mutants, mutates, inhumans, and other types of powered beings and uniting them under the banner trigger of Terrigenesis. So our starter characters are just normal teenagers living their lives in New York City, and they're among those ready to celebrate on July 4th, 2023. However, when the fireworks start to go off that night, a sudden blue fog envelopes the crowd in a wave. People begin to panic, thinking they have been poisoned as they hack their lungs out. Unbeknownst to them at the time, a renegade scientist placed several Terrigen Crystals in with the explosives, hoping to see what would happen since his superiors refused to authorize human testing. And that's how our starter characters get their powers. Feel free to rework any Marvel character to fit within this joint origin story. 

The goal for our heroes in the short-term would be to learn about their powers and try to uncover what happened, but the long-term objective will be to stop the scientists and their team of villains from detonating a Terrigen Bomb in Times Square during the Ball Drop on New Year's Eve. After that we can roll into heavily modified sagas centering around mainstay enemies like HYDRA, Ultron, and Thanos. I'd love to hear your character ideas.

For me, I'm going to be playing four guys to start: Donald and Owen Blake, two brothers from London spending the Summer in America; Bruce Banner, a young genius years ahead of his time; and Lucas Bishop, a skilled athlete who aspires to one day become a Navy SEAL. 

After their first Terrigen encounter, Donald is able to channel lightning and becomes Thor; Owen can cast illusions as Loki; Bruce morphs into various forms of the Hulk; and Lucas absorbs and redirects energy in the form of red plasma. Over the course of the first saga, Owen gradually becomes a villain and ends up a major antagonist. Feel free to create multiple characters yourselves to have some as heroes and some as villains. PM me if you have any questions.
