[OOC] Absolute Comics: A Brave New World

[Lord Wraith]

@Byrd Man Well how can I say no to that? I love this mantle passed onto Frank Castle. Accepted, looking forward to seeing how this one interacts with the greater universe.

@Byrd ManOh, shit

Me, last night: 'Ghost Rider is basically one step down from The Spectre so he's pretty damn tough.'

Byrd Man: 'Yep.'

Vengeance Bros?

@Byrd Man

Do you even damn evils souls to the torment of hell, brah?

[Roman]

I'd love to have a duelling arc but that's basically like taking Superman and going 'okay now I want to fight a man made of Kryptonite'.

[Gowi]

I mean Supes does that consistently.

[Roman]

Supes also wouldn't be erased from existence if he lost.

I want to play Ivy, because I'm interested in playing a character who works exclusively on their own terms; for a cause that they genuinely believe is righteous, as twisted as it might be. I am playing Ivy primarily as an eco-terrorist, who devotes the bulk of her efforts towards protecting plant life. Unfortunately, her methods are extreme; since she views humans as lesser then plants, she does not think twice about executing people she deems a threat to plantlife. This will earn her an unfavourable reputation with local crimefighters.

At some point in the game, I would like to head back in time and explore Ivy's origin story, as I feel it would be interesting to play out the metamorphosis from meek environmental activist to ruthless and super-powered terrorist. However, it is my plan to begin the story later than this, with Ivy already established as a known villain. In the event that a common threat or 'big bad' arises, I am interested in having Ivy align herself with more virtuous and heroic characters, in order to achieve their common goal. I would like to play out a storyline similar to Jinx from Teen Titans, whereby her alignment is vague but her goals always clear: Ivy cares only about protecting plantkind, at whatever cost.

I will be playing the more explicitly super-powered depiction of Ivy, who can manipulate plant life with her mind. This is in conjunction with her 'standard' abilities pertaining to toxins, pheromones and spores. I think it will be interesting to have this version of Poison Ivy go up against heroes from across the board, as we are so used to seeing her alongside the same familiar faces.

N O T E S:

♦ The initial arc takes place in the present day (2017).

♦ As her origin story will be explored later on, she does not necessarily need to be associated with Batman & co. I am open to establishing her backstory and rivalries with any of the featured characters.

♦ Weaknesses include the cold, lack of sunlight, fire etc - if it's bad for a plant, it's bad for her.

@Tyler Welcome aboard! Accepted!

[Rescinded: I'm ditching this concept and coming at it again from a different angle]

[Byrd Man]

All hail the king, baby.

[Lord Wraith]

@AndyC _{*Grumbles about how ugly a centered sheet looks... *} I suppose I can accept that since we like need a Superman or something.

You didn't actually have to edit it haha

@AndyC So for the sake of my brain... Supes was active in the All-Star Squadron... in another timeline not the one we're currently in?

(and here I thought I'd be the first to mess with the timeline, bravo sir. Bravo.)

Look, awesome posts.

[Lucian]

Oh man, Lexcorp. Here we go.

@Sep

Correct. Essentially Superman was the first superhero, but now he's one of the last.

That's super cool. Can't wait to read it.
