The VI [or VII] Forgotten Heroes [WWII / Marvel Themed]

Don't forget the fastest...

Well.

Fastest anything (Except for some Hydra machines) on Earth!

[Omega Man]

I remember seeing this guy as a kid and thinking 'Man... I wonder if he really just runs around peeing on people..?" I mean the yellow suit is a bit misleading to say the least and this was before the internet was what it is today. It was around the same time Wolverine was calling everyone 'bub' and I thought he was just saying 'boob.'

I was asking myself last night, tinkering with micros and such, and thinking... "I wonder if Sep's gonna go with the Whizzer in green undies or blue..." LOL. Glad to see you already putting it out there and I didn't even have to ask!

@Sep

I'm gonna have Cap give the group some updated gear reminiscent of what's popular in terms of movie designs and more realistic looking equipment all around in the comics recently. With and without his helmet, similar to Cap's old one with an open face and wings drawn on the sides rather than popping off a mask...



...and I know he's got 5 o' clock shadow. When you're behind enemy lines for days on end running for your life to save lives... even the fastest guy around can't slow down and shave. I gave my guy a Magnum PI 'stache LOL

~KL~

[Sep]

@The Kid Lantern maybe you can't shave. But I can kick Hydra ass and be back home in no time ;)

Concept Art of Union Jackie



I made do with the amount of things given to me, but I think you get the picture. She would still have the Union Jack on her outfit (I just couldnt recreate it).

Oh and Union Jack has breasts now. Which is a significant improvement in my book.

Secret ID: Robert Frank
Alias: The Whizzer
Age:25 (It isn't clear what age he actually was in WW2)
Powers:

• Hyper Speed: Whizzer is capable of running up to speeds of over 750MPH breaking the Sound Barrier making him (At this time) one of the fastest things on Earth. With his speed he is capable of running on water, and with a good start, run up vertical buildings.
• Perception: Due to his increased speed his mind is also faster, giving him an amazing reaction time able to notice things in a blink of the eye that people couldn't normally notice.
• Reactive Physiology: He doesn't suffer side effects of running really fast and he even heals faster.

Weaknesses:

• Cold: The Cold tends to slow things down, while he can speed himself up in cold climates an intesne change of temperature is detrimental.
• Strength: Despite all his advantages he doesn't possess super strength.
• Mortal: While he is slightly more robust than the average human he can still die.

Personality: Robert always wanted to be a hero, he's got a little bit of a quick wit, but he is true of heart and doesn't take life unnecessarily. He's also a bit of a prankster but that is mainly due to him being used to doing everything at high speeds.
BRIEF Bio: Robert Frank is the son of noted scientist Dr.Emil Frank, while in Africa Robert was unfortunately bitten by a cobra. However this cobra was then killed by a Mongoose which was subsequently hurt in the fray. Remembering an old tale that mongoose blood could cure the bite of a cobra Emil took the translation literally and transfused the creatures blood into his soon. What he didn't know is that his son himself had an inert mutant gene, the addition of the Mongoose blood would change his life forever... The changes didn't immediately kick in, at least not fully.

He became more athletic over the next couple of years but he never truly changed. It was however just before the war where he learnt his true power. As adrenaline rushed his system as a gun was pulled on him he soon found himself behind the gunman who assaulted him, the next couple of weeks of learning his powers were painful and consisted of a lot of broken bones as he ran into objects at high speed, though thankfully one of his new abilities was that he could also heal quickly so nobody ever noticed the bruises cuts or even broken bones that he had sported in recent weeks. Eventually he felt it was time to take on an identity, with many of the Heroes being drafted into the war he became the Whizzer and resorted to tackling crime throughout the US wherever he could.

It wasn't until months later that he himself got the call, he was fighting crime when through the airwaves he heard the request for any super powered individuals to help Bucky Barnes combat a threat in the states. Obviously he was on the seen as quickly as possible not wanting to see anyone getting hurt. A fight then ensued, and he was then recruited to work overseas as part of Captain Americas task Force. As the fast thing on the battlefield he proved useful for relaying intelligence quickly and reliably as well as getting into places that not many others could solely due to speed alone.

Notes: [anything else you need to mention?]
Sample Post: Robert, A.K.A The Whizzer came to a stop among the group of Soldiers, all but one of them paid him no real notice. However one of them had apparently only started working with the Invaders since he was last on the front. "Yes, I really am that fast." He extended his hand to the soldier, he himself wasn't enlisted after all so he could show this courtesy. "Names Robert, surname I'm keeping to myself for obvious reasons." The soldier extended his hand and grasped it before replying. "Private Henry Everett.""Nice to meet you Henry." Robert clapped his hands together before looking at the rest of the group.

"So, Cap said we're assaulting this base and that I'd get the details from you. What's the mission?" One of the group turned to the bonnet of the jeep pointing at the map. "The Captain is setting up an assault on this facility here. We're not on that mission, a couple of the other Invaders are being given similar objectives to ours. Though ours is the furthest away-" He turned to Whizzer with a mock scowl on his face "-Thanks for that by the way." Then turning back to the map. "The objective is to take out these bases so that we won't be boxed in, Hydra are apparently building some form of super death machine in there to take on the Invaders so we need to do this quickly."

Robert just winked at them. "I always do things quickly, so where's the Bomb?" One of the soldiers pulled a device out of the back of the Jeep, it was a bomb though due to the nature of who was taken it it had been put in a protective housing and then made into a backpack. "Alright, standard procedure. I'll go in and place the device, you guys wait within one kilo-click. Sorry, it's been a while since I've been on the front, need to remember my military jargon. Anyway, wait within one click and if the place doesn't explode in say... ten minutes move in." He hoisted the pack onto his back, spinning his arms around slowly and hopping from one foot to the other in order to get used to the weight and the change in his balance. With that he took off in a yellow blur.

Everett spoke up at that moment. "Damn he's fast." The others just laughed. "Wait till you see the Human Torch, that's freaky."

* * *

Robert hated trees, or rather he hated forests. There was so much he had to keep an eye out for when running, especially on the eastern front where there were also mines and trip wires to worry about. The only advantage was that if he set anything off by the time it exploded he would be long gone... the issue would be that the enemy would know he was coming and that was never beneficial. He stopped, skidding slightly on the loose surface, as he got in sight of the base. He took a quick scan, it was hardly a real base. Wooden cabins, couple of fences. Then he noticed them.

This wasn't a base.

Yes there were reinforcements here for the main base, but this facility itself was a camp. It was a concentration camp... that made things decidedly more complicated. He couldn't just blow it up, and he'd need to get an answer from Cap later on whether intel had knowingly sent him to a camp full of prisoners with a bomb. He took the device of and laid it on the ground, at least it'd prove to be a good distraction. Opening the casing he put a timer of one minute on it. He then began running towards the base. The task was simple, take out the guards. He'd have to watch for the machine gun towers though this was still going to be easy enough.

In full sprint he was nothing but a blur but he saw the world in full detail, that was until there was a flash of light and everything disappeared. When he regained sight he lost is footing as everything had changed... he tripped and hit something hard before skidding to a halt. "Yeah, that hurt." Grunting slightly as he pushed himself up he looked to see Destroyer (One of them anyway), a man in strange clothes and a couple other Invaders... one of whom he had just crashed into.

He stood up, shaking himself off. "So, what's all this about?"

[Omega Man]

Looks good so far man! Was that really what gave him speed, mongoose blood? LOL

@The Kid Lantern

Well, it interacted with latent mutant abilities. I don't think I'll actually change his bio much, not at least without seeing our other heroes sheets first.

Not often I get to play someone with speed powers. Looking forward to it.

[FantasyChic]

Should have my sheet up Saturday or more likely Sunday. At least I got you a picture. Gawd get off my back MOM!

@FantasyChic

But it is Saturday in most timezones now.

[Sep]

@The Kid Lantern any more setting on the uh, sample post? I'm unsure what to put due to me not knowing who is there/what the objective is etc.

also Nazis or Hydra?

[Omega Man]

Nazis and Hydra go hand in hand so either works fine. You're trying to stop them from activating a war machine or something. Just minions for now though, no major players.

@Sep

Also under notes, you remember what he taught the SHIELD Academy on that Ult. spiderman cartoon? I think it was bomb defusing, you should make that a specialty of his....

~KL~

[Omega Man]

I'm about to finish up mine and I'm still talking with @rocketrobie2 about possible heroes as well as another interested party via PM's.

@The Kid Lantern

Aye, well it makes sense he can defuse a bomb faster than anyone else :P

[rocketrobie2]

Yeah sorry it's taking me so long to choose a character to use. I just can't decide firmly on anything.

[Sep]

@The Kid Lantern and interesting idea would be (to let more people in) maybe have a couple modern heroes in as well.

OR, future heroes :P

Secret ID: Keene Marlow

Alias: the Destroyer, the Mighty Destroyer

Age: 28

Powers: Super soldier serum enhanced his strength, speed, and agility to Capt. America levels with slightly more increased strength. Marlow was also an accomplished hand-to-hand fighter, and was trained in the use of fire-arms.

Weaknesses: Destroyer is still very much human and doesn't hide behind an indestructible shield. In the year 2016 he will presumably have a suit that will help with this to a degree.

Personality: Marlow was just a cocky journalist until he was thrown into a concentration camp. There he witnessed several horrors and upon escaping with superpowers he became reckless in the face of danger and did everything in his power to crush the enemies of the Allies. He's a little quieter than he was before getting powers but still cocky, and he has a deep hatred for the enemy knowing they've experimented on civilians. He's definitely in the 'shoot first ask questions later' camp, which has put him at odds with Captain America at least twice so far.

Appearance:

Out of Costume

In costume: Modern suit, see avatar.

BRIEF Bio: Keene Marlow was a journalist behind enemy lines during World War II when he was captured by the forces of the Red Skull and Adolf Hitler. Believed to be a spy for the Americans, Marlow was thrown into a concentration camp where he would be beaten and later used as a human guinea pig. Some of the worst things were seen in this camp, women beaten and raped, torture, and then there were the experiments. Though Professor Eric Schmitt originally worked for the allies, he was now being forced to recreate the super soldier serum that created Captain America. After weeks of trial and error, the serum finally worked on Marlow who gained similar powers and abilities to Capt. America. Breaking out of the concentration camp and killing several enemy soldiers, Keene did what he could to free as many people in the camp as he could and returned back to an Allied forces base.

While back at the base, Marlow met Capt. America whom he viewed as too much of a boy scout. Keene had seen horrors most people could never even imagine. He decided to try and one up the red, white, and blue clad hero and came up with his own costume. Striped pants, ghoulish mask, and a skull on his chest... he became the Destroyer. He assisted the Captain as well as other WWII era heroes including members of the Invaders and the Liberty Legion.

The Destroyer was active for the next year in Europe as a costumed adventurer. He would also meet two other men who wished to fight against the enemy and keep their identities safe, giving them permission to use the alias and look of his costumed alter ego. With three Destroyers now active, the Axis viewed the hero whom they thought was only one man as just as large a threat as Captain America and the android Human Torch. Marlow was in Nazi occupied Poland when the time traveler Franklin Richards recruited him for a mission to save the time stream. With Marlow's help, they recruited a team to go into the future to help a now elderly Capt. America in a war being waged with the Red Skull who was now the holder of the yellow Time Gem from a recreated Infinity Gauntlet.

Notes: Marlow was the first Destroyer, and created by Stan Lee in 1941. The only difference between the original and mine is the enhanced strength being greater than that of Capt. America's.

Sample Post: I'll copy/paste the last half of that intro post I'd typed up a page or so back that had Richards drafting Destroyer.

________________________________

@Sep In the OP I mentioned there's room for one original character. Said character could be from the modern era. Still, the hero should have ties to WWII heroes. Maybe they're a legacy, or just used the alias of another hero with similar powers. I'm confident we'll get who we need by weekends' end to get this RP moving forward.

~KL~

[FantasyChic]

Before I make my sheet, there were two (or 3 I guess) Union Jacks. I imagine I'll take the one that was up and around in WWII, but he was injected with the Soldier Serum. Is that ok if I have mine be the same way? Or are we just limiting that to Captain America?

If so, I have a really good story for how she got that way.
