In World War II heroes and superhumans hit the scene in America. Captain America and the Invaders fought the Red Skull and Hitler and helped turn the tide of the war in favor of the Allies. As luck would have it, Captain America managed to beat old age after getting frozen in an adventure in the 40's after the war had ended. Steve Rogers would wake up some time after the year 2000 and begin operating as an agent of the United States as he did during his time in the Invaders, and he eventually joined the more modern heroes as an Avenger. In VI[or VII] Forgotten Heroes we'll loosely take the idea from the comics where the original five X-Men were brought to the modern day, the title itself based on a story in the later episodes of the Spider-man animated series in the 90's where six forgotten heroes were reintroduced as older heroes who would rescue Capt. America from a time stasis rather than a block of ice.
The idea is simple, take ANY character from the Marvel library with origins during WWII and bring them at the height of their careers from the days after World War II into the present day similar to what happened to Captain America. Haven't exactly got the specifics of how we get to the present day, but we'll come to terms with our place in this much more advanced era just in time to help the now elder Capt. America take down a mutual enemy with ties to our past. Of the five or six accepted players I'll likely accept at least one original WWII era hero, but the CS will have to be superb and it will have to fit with the theme.
Here's some links to info on a lot of characters, you may find others so long as they're Marvel.
List of Invaders -- comicvine.gamespot.com/invaders/4060-2..
The Twelve -- comicvine.gamespot.com/the-twelve/4060..
The Liberty Legion -- comicvine.gamespot.com/liberty-legion/..
... that's most of the groups that I can think of for the time being. There's probably a few more diamonds in the rough if you keep digging like the Thunderer. As far as CS requirements for now it'll be standard stuff with a Sample Post at the end. You'll probably notice I used this space to drop a Marvel Movieverse idea, I guess that ship's probably sailed a few times on here and got no interest but oh well. CS base for anyone interested in this new setting with a little more freedom in terms of what you can work with:
Secret ID:
Alias:
Age: [How old were you in the 1940's]
Powers:
Weaknesses:
Personality: [how you were acting while fighting against Nazi superhumans! LOL]
Appearance: [you can pick an actors face, use reference from old comics, modern designs for your hero post time skip, etc if you wish. Or just write a description...]
BRIEF Bio: [I'd probably expect a brief origin leading into your hero fighting Nazi superhumans...]
Notes: [anything else you need to mention?]
Sample Post: [Three paragraph Advanced level post. The setting is a secluded HYDRA base in the woods somewhere in Europe. Finish the post with 'a bright flash of light...' that will lead into the beginning of the RP.]
So, take two on the Advanced Marvel idea. Who wants to pull a Captain America on a few classic heroes?
Accepted heroes/sheets:
Me - the Destroyer
Sep - the Whizzer
FantasyChic - Union Jackie
rocketrobie2 - Blue Bullet [pre approved via PM]
[open spot]
[open spot]
[another open spot to make VII?]
