Academy of Hereos and Villains: Year two

@Archmage MC dc has never used power dempering except through the use of magic which is still extremely rare. I think you really don't know much about dc

@Weird Tales

No I'm 100% sure there was some DCAU episode where the heroes had to infiltrate the villain prison to get some info from one of the villains. I know that because Killer Frost was one of the baddies of that episode. They wore collars that removed their powers.

I'm pretty sure it was a filler episode though.

OK I found it. It was a Young Justice episode actually. Episode "Terrors"

I suppose but then how would she stop light and tsura

@Caits

Light has already revealed her weakness to duct tape, PLus Light is very weak to knockout gas. (And Light is basically just going to lounge about the plane at this point, Penelope hasn't done anything to bother her since the ting up bit was an illusion and Light isn't very aggressive unless you give her a good reason to be.) And I dunno about Tsura. Magnents maybe? Let me think about that one. Or just trap her in a container with no windows. Her powers don't stop that from what I can tell.

But she's aware that her mind control isn't as strong as it could be. The lock-in helps protect her ship as it does prevent them escaping.

@Caits

Is Hydra or AIM in this world? Could have a super ship with lasers and stuff on it from those guys to repel the rescue team or something and additionally have some stunning things onboard or something too.

@Archmage MC

Is that saying I write badly?

First of all.

The power suppression was developed in this roleplay when it was under a different GM. But I thought it was a good idea to not destroy the school.

Secondly I'm not going to make it easy for the captives to escape. If you can figure out a different way to prevent this escape tell me and I'll take it into consideration.

Thirdly, it's necessary for this. But I will take into consideration any ideas. You do not need to bring up the storyline of the comics and the ideas of them to say it's bad writing. While this is, yes, based on Dc and Marvel, we aren't strictly staying to any sort of story they had. After all, some of the characters parents might not be alive in the comics but are alive here.

@Caits

No I'm saying your a great writer and don't need to use the "I'm at a brick wall" sorta devices because your too good for them.

Pretty easy to fix. Mind control stops active abilities, each captive has their own weaknesses, Penelope got some files from the Academy on her captive's weaknesses and can exploit those. Maybe unintentionally too if that fits her character better.

Didn't know that was from an older RP though with a different GM. Makes more sense knowing that.

@caits

Honestly I'm sure you can write well and don't need to rely on a power nullifier mcguffin that even the sources are trying to retcon away and what basically equates to bad writing when used.

I dont think anyone can immune or even partly immune to power dampening. I dont see how that would be possible. There is no way to block or shield that from that.

<Snipped quote by BlackPanther>

What Villian????

@KatherinWinter

Honestly power dampening without it making sense like via a mcguffin device, is just awful writing and shouldn't even be a thing. even DC and Marvel, who made such things, are trying to distance themselves from them as they know they make fans angry when they're used due to the bad writing they cause. Though DC uses it far more often than Marvel as they tend to have the less talented writers. Not always, but usually.

Besides theres no reason for Caits to even need to use such a thing when the characters in this RP have clearly defined weaknesses and whatnot to take advantage of xD.

Drugs can kill a person's talent.

@Weird Tales

I guess. But BOY did miller go off the deep end. Like, jeez.

<Snipped quote by Archmage MC>
I don't know it, I still find that Angela issue to be awful and some of the worst writing I've seen.

I liked all star Batman and robin because I treat it as an ElElseworld story and I find it hilarious

@Weird Tales

Here, Linkara did it for his 300th episode so thats how I know about it myself back when someone linked it to me.

I dunno, did you see his super racist comic he made when he got fired from DC? its really bad.

Academy of Hereos and Villains: Year two

@Weird Tales

Isn't that the series where the JL becomes literal gods for some unknown reason and throws all their canon out the window? Or is this an older book?

AT least its not frank miller. Dear god that guy was a loony.
