So does Terminator count? Probably not :p


Can’t speak for Wraith but I imagine that would be ok. Just depends on the concept you create a sheet for.

Like what stories would you tell with Terminator in this shared universe? What other characters would you pair them with? As someone who is playing a non Marvel/DC, I think one of the best bits is seeing him interact with characters that he wouldn’t normally interact with.

I'd have gone the complete opposite way, I can't see how Terminator and all the context surrounding it meshes with what we have here.

Yeah, I think the difficulty of including Terminator is that having an apocalyptic future war between humans and machines is necessary for the concept, which really narrows every other character who might want to do future shenanigans (Booster Gold, Legion of Super-Heroes, etc).

I will say, X-Men do alternative futures all the time and that seems to work (although some maybe disagree). Just as long as it’s stated in story that it’s just one possible future rather than THE future

No apology necessary, friend! We're just doing what nerds do and theorycrafting over here. Also, Wraith's opinion is ultimately the one that matters.

Valid point, honestly. Though I'll say that they have the messiest reputation for continuity for a reason... :P

Don't need to apologise - maybe we're being too purist? An interesting point was brought up in a discord chat that you could write a very Terminator-inspired story using characters like Ultron (as your megalomaniacal AI villain stand-in) and Bishop/Cable (as your time-travelling heroes preventing a bad future before it happens stand-ins). Maybe what we should be doing is less 'how can I bring in this off-the-wall media property' and more 'how can I use established comic canon to weld parts together into a story inspired by/similar to the media property I love'.

That said we've also had the most experimentation in this game of any iteration of these one-comic-universe games I've played, and I've been enjoying how much more flexible and daring everyone's been.

As I shared with a few of you, I decided that I would drop Q and instead tackle a different character. This will come as a shock to absolutely no one.



You lunatic.

Speaking of boring, vanilla, storylines: back from resort weekend turned resort week, finishing up Kara/Babs' fourth post in the next day, or so.

I'm pretty far along in my first Spidey post, but I am very out of practice writing action scenes, so there's much editing to be done. Eager to get on the board, though.

Blüdhaven.

A wretched hive of scum and villainy.

A cesspool built from Gotham's runoff, anything that doesn't put roots down in Gotham gets flushed into the city-like sewer known as Blüdhaven. A port town, Blüdhaven got its start as a whaling town before becoming an industrial port. The sky is layered in a thick cloud of smog, while streets are constantly filled with fog due to the miles of antique boiler pipe laid beneath cobblestone streets hastily repaired with asphalt and concrete.

But for a brief moment, the city had hope in the form of its very own Bright Knight.

Richard 'Dick' Grayson, the former protegé and Robin of Gotham's Batman, outgrew the shadow of his mentor's cape and, after a soul-finding journey, adopted a symbol of rebirth he learned from a distant Romani relative. From the ashes of Robin rose Nightwing, who took to the streets of Blüdhaven, using the best tricks learned from the Bat to inject fear into the superstitious and cowardly lot that preyed on the vulnerable.

But years of war against the crimelord known as Blockbuster took their toll, eventually driving Dick Grayson to his breaking point, and in a final confrontation, Dick was left maimed and traumatized while Blockbuster was killed.

A former vigilante turned recluse, Dick Grayson has reluctantly enjoyed a simpler life, managing a gymnastics facility and becoming a superintendent over a small apartment complex. However, a new Nightwing has appeared in Blüdhaven, and with it, a trail of bodies, brutally killed by blunt force trauma.

Unable to allow his legacy to be tarnished and fear turned against the people of Blüdhaven, Dick is forced out of his mandated retirement.

The Bright Knight Returns.

As most of you already know, Dick Grayson is my favourite character in all of comics, and Batman Beyond was a show I basically grew up on. The idea of combining the two is highly appealing revisiting some of my favourite posts I've written over the years with Terry in the tights and a reluctant Dick playing the role of the guy in the chair. Will Dick recover from his injury? I doubt it, but a story of mistaken identity and legacy is certainly looking like a lot of fun to write while also integrating both Dick and Terry into a larger world that contains allies and foes alike from their respective histories.

What you as a reader can expect are episodic posts exploring Terry growing into his new role as the protector of Blüdhaven while Dick is forced to rapidly mature as a mentor and perpetual big brother, founding his own 'Wing-family' with the help of everyone's favourite black sheep, Helena Bertinelli.

Responding in my own paragraphs that arent 1 to 1 for any points except the last one.

- Part of the adaption to the Marvel/DC focused setting is to generally avoid the amount of mass casualty events that seem to crop up every other tuesday in Invincible (especially when the storylines are condensced like in the show). I would choose between adapting larger events i.e Flaxan Invasions as collaborations with people so that the impact of such things can be properly reflected or just not do them. There's plenty of non-end of the world events in the earlier volumes of Invincible to pull from, as well as interacting with the non-Invincible aspects of the world which is part of the fun of the whole crossover thing.

- The connection to Proto-Krypton came out of a concern for me of just explaining their similarities in setting. Given the vast spans of time Last Days of Krypton deals with when it comes to Kryptonian History I don't think it neccesitates their power set being Kryptonian. It's more than just flavour tex,t in that I could see it being a thread to pull down the line with Kryptonian lore, but its not designed to fundementally change either. I feel this sort of answers the scaling concern, given Kryptonians by and large have been shown to pull off far more fanciful feats than Viltrumites (punching through dimensions, moving planets without destroying them, holding up the metaphysical burden of creation etc). This was largely a point of adaptation though so I can just drop it from the concept if need be.

- Omni-man kills the Guardians of The Globe, but I wouldn't say the Guardians are on par with the bigs of DC and Marvel, which is the part of the logic mentioned in my sheet about why he hasn't attempted his takeover by this point as he would in the comics. The other being that I want to write a story in this crossover, not just rewrite Invincible, so Nolan is himself more troubled by the thought of doing the big evil. I would imagine it would still be a threat I'd want to collab with people if a similar-to-comics event did occur, but I don't see it being close to 'the rest of the world are powerless spectators to Mark and Nolan's fight.'

- I think if I ever did get round to writing other Viltrumites on Earth it would feature as more of a covert 'they walk among us' threat as opposed to trying to force everyone to play the lore of Invincible with me. More open interactions with Vultriumites I would keep to adventures far away from where they might break other people's toys.

- Regarding Titan, that is pretty funny I missed that. Along with Nightwing that's an edit I can easily make, I will probably just come up with a totally unique OC please don't steal name for the character.


I'm good with all of this. Pending edits, Invincible is accepted as the second-best Grayson in the RP.

Overwatch operated as a joint SHIELD–UN task force created to respond to crises that exceeded the reach or jurisdiction of any single nation. It worked in the shadows, handling metahuman incidents, rogue science threats, and politically sensitive conflicts that governments could not publicly acknowledge. Its roster blended elite soldiers, intelligence operatives, scientists, and enhanced individuals whose abilities made them uniquely suited for rapid response missions.

Lena Oxton, a former RAF pilot, joined the task force after a chronal displacement accident left her body stuck in time. Stabilised by the chronal accelerator she now wears, she became one of Overwatch’s most agile operatives, specialising in infiltration, extraction, and high risk civilian protection. She went by the moniker Tracer, a name that reflected both her abilities and her presence on the field. She formed deep bonds with her teammates and carried the spirit of Overwatch’s idealism even when missions demanded secrecy and sacrifice.

The task force collapsed when tensions between Gabriel Reyes, former head of Blackwatch covert operations, and Jack Morrison, former field commander of Overwatch, escalated into open conflict. Their feud culminated in the destruction of Overwatch’s Swiss headquarters, an explosion that killed personnel, shattered public trust, and gave world governments the justification they needed to shut the program down. In the aftermath, members scattered. Some folded into SHIELD, some returned to their home agencies, and others disappeared into private life. Tracer tried to do the same, attempting to build a normal existence away from covert operations. Reports of Talon resurfacing across Europe have pulled her back into action, determined to stop Talon before they gain momentum again.



Should note that I’m omitting certain elements from the world of Overwatch in order for this concept to work in this shared universe. Omnics don’t exist for example and obviously the world isn’t as technologically advanced as that in the Overwatch universe. I’m mainly focusing on Overwatch and Talon themselves, rather than the various other factions in the universe.

I fell in love with Overwatch and its world when I first started playing it many years ago and eagerly awaited each new lore drop. I always wanted to explore that universe myself and see where the story of Overwatch’s reunion and Talon’s return might lead. This is as good an opportunity as any.

We will be following Tracer’s investigation into Talon, taking her across the globe as she attempts to stop their operations. I can see her encountering a range of mercenaries and assassins as she tries to track down their source. At the same time, she will be looking into contacts from her old Overwatch days, potentially leading toward the formation of a new Overwatch.

I want to delve deeper into the world of secret agencies, mapping out SHIELD, Overwatch, Talon, and other villainous organisations as they appear. This can hopefully lead to collaboration with anyone else playing characters in similar spaces, such as Captain America or the Winter Soldier.

Given the superhero nature of Tracer, she can also work in a wide variety of scenarios, so collaboration is not restricted to the themes above.
