My Lit Lecturer used Matt Fraction's Hawkeye run to display the effect of narratology in class today. It's the first thing he's spoken about all term that I've actually read.

How good is the Punisher in Netflix's Daredevil series? "Just some guys who are about to walk into a diner for the last time." That line is so manly it could make a toddler sprout a beard.

The Justice League trailer is giving me mixed emotions. On the one hand, I desperately want to get hyped. On the other, Snyder and co have burnt me too many times in the past. I'm a conflicted mess.

What? The Lethal Weapon tv show isn't utter garbage at all, instead being an enjoyable watch. What the fuck is the world coming to?

No, no problem, I was just making sure I understood the potential there. While potent it does seen exploitable enough.
Alrighty.
No need to change it, was just making you aware. There is a precedent for heroes sharing aliases in comic-dom after all.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the sheet.

I really want Red, Sam and Ruth to have a team, just to get this exchange
Sam; I'm getting to old for this shit. . .
Red; You're getting to old for this? Boy, I was doing this when you were still in diapers.
Ruth; You're both a pair of whiny babies.

Outsiders update; The team have just finished their first training mission together, a 'full contact' game of capture the flag that became a explosively powered grudge-match involving two of the teams most powerful members, Warpath and Twilight. Things got out of control when one member used extreme force that could have ended in a fatality. Repercussions are coming.

I referenced the show, but I have never in my life seen it. Those guys are real snazzy dressers though.
@Micia
It's a damn interesting power that I've really never seen before. Kudos on that.
If the spheres are completely inviolable, and move to intercept anything that comes within a foot of their orbit, then doesn't that mean that they could form a completely impregnable barrier? If James was to cast say ten spheres in an orbit around himself then doesn't that mean anyone trying to hit him would be stopped completely in their tracks? After all, as soon as they got close the orbs would just push them harmlessly away.
You also mention an advanced armour. What is that excatly? Are we looking at Batman type skintight kevlar/nomex weave, or an Iron-man level suit?
One last thing is that this RP shares a universe and canon with another RP on the site called Young Justice: 2022. In Young Justice there is another hero named Orbit, though her powers are different from your own. Maybe something to bear in mind when writing your bio.

Sam sniping my convo! Oh the humanity.
I thought Thorn would have joined Fenrir in consoling Belle, in a My two dads kinda situation!
As they walked Thorn raised his concerns with what just happened, all of them valid. Fenrir was coming to the realization that Thorn was going to become the voice of reason on the Outsiders. Good thing too, after Poltergeist has failed so utterly to step into the role as I hoped. Strange, perhaps, that a former gang-banger should become a creature possessed of such an abundance in common sense, but should Fenrir be surprised that Valentine's unique experiences had changed him? Fenrir's certainly had.
Fenrir felt the need to explain himself to Thorn, to have the plant man understand why he thought today's exercise would be a good idea. He couldn't quite put his finger onto why, but he wanted Valentine to respect him, not just because Fenrir was his leader but as a person. Perhaps it was because Magnus respected Thorn so much.
"There was a point to it Thorn. I've never seen the team in action before. I missed all of last nights action, but the outcome of that made me realize I need to understand my team better before I can more effectively lead them."
"I am a creature of passion and movement. Reading a persons accomplishments on paper doesn't compare to seeing them in action. I now know that while Warpath and Twilight both see themselves as my natural successors, imagine their training trumps my savagery, they both have a ways to go before they are ready for the role. I now know that Quantum's chip on his shoulder goes beyond a reckless attitude and a taste for cheap alcohol, that he flat out refuses to be beaten. I've seen who has a future here, and who doesn't."
"I agree. It is time to remove the weak links, leaving the pack with nothing but the strong. And this morning has revealed the weak."
They had reached the medbay now, Fenrir setting Madcap down upon one of the cots before accepting the antidote from Thorn and applying it to the clown.
"I don't know how cut out I am for this." Fenrir spoke quietly, almost as if he was talking to himself. His gaze was steady on Madcap, though his eyes were cloudy and far away. Whatever he was looking at, it was far in his past and not in this room. " I can lead a team on the battlefield. I can fight. If need be I can kill. This though? This is different, this welding of so many extreme personalities into one cohesive unit. The man in me doesn't know what to do next. The beast in me is certain of the steps I must take, but those steps seem so savage. Yesterday I almost tore Adam's throat out when he challenged me. He challenged my authority, and my first response was to shred him. A real leader would never have considered that."
"Perhaps you shouldn't support me." He stopped then, almost suddenly, as if he had just realized what he had said. He glanced up a Thorn to guage the plant-mans reaction to his words, before making a sound that sounded like a cross between a snort and a snarl. Better to just ignore I said anything. Thorn is discretion-ate enough not to mention anything.
"Well. I have some chaff to separate." He finally said before walking out of the med-bay. He nearly tripped over Belle on his way out. Fenrir hadn't spoken to the girl since yesterday. He had thought to give her space after the incident with the cruiser. That was a mistake, he realized now, as he seen how despondent she looked. He knelt by her side. The chaff could wait.
"What bothers you, cub?"

Trying to be gender neutral. "Their" sounded better than "it's" lol
I just realised something...
...if Sam's penchant is making the things that aren't supposed to go wrong...go wrong...
...He's the anthropomorphic representation of Murphy's Law.
...and I should've named him Murphy instead of Sam so I could pull off cheesy lines like
'You just broke the law.'
'Whose?'
'Mine.'
*bad luck barry*
Things go wrong around me all the time as well. Maybe they should think about renaming that ol' law.
