Sleep, an interesting concept.


There is nothing wrong with sleep.

Thanksgiving is a celebration of a successful harvest. It has nothing to do with the genocide of the Native Americans. It's purpose is similar to the Harvest Festival in the UK.

If you want an international holiday celebrating wholesale slaughter, you could argue Armistice Day fits that description. Although I personally think of it more as a celebration of the end of the Great War, and not the Great War itself.


This. In early America, there use to be multiple "Thanksgivings" for, as FacePunch said, good harvests or thanks for something. In fact, Thanksgiving was more popular than Christmas for a long time (the Puritans believe that it was a Pagan festival).

Yeah, since I can't draw for shit...that was the closest I could find for what his costume looks like


Don't worry. Aubrey has been wearing a Spider-Girl costume up until Marvel (in game, not in real life) declared the cease and desist against her.
Yeah, that was definitely interesting


Well, the image provided for Lyger is Black Panther. I always wanted to call a female version of Electro, Electra (particularly Elle from Heroes for some strange reason...). Thunderbolt and Boom have the platinum blond hair color of Quicksilver and his color scheme for their costumes. I called War-Pulse 'Winter Soldier' due to my fan-casting for this roleplay several pages ago.

Also, messing up Aubrey's name is a call back to the Demon Invasion arc where he does not remember her.

Out of curiosity what would Eva's nickname be? I also wonder what other names you'd call everyone else.


I would have to think about it. And I will respond to your PM as soon as possible.
I hope everyone liked the nicknames that Chris gave everyone.
I'll let you all finish up your current story arcs before I go any further into the event.

Christopher Arthur III

While he was returning back to the U.S. on his private jet, Chris pondered at the recently broadcasted television feed. While on paper it might sound like a great idea, the justification of giving every person on earth superhuman powers would require having an unnatural faith in human goodness and kindness. What would stop people from doing whatsoever they please? Would it really solve more problems than it would create? However, while contemplating over this issue, Chris received a video call from his secretary, Minerva.

“So, what’s the status on S.T.R.I.K.E.’s search for this device?” Chris asked her.

“Considering that we have no idea what the device even looks like, the search is going pretty slowly. The only thing we can do is wait until we can find it.”

“Not necessarily.” Chris said in response to Minerva’s suggestion of idleness. “I have been looking over some footage from both the recent event concerning Umbraxis and the Demon Invasion. Several heroes were able to unite together in the Demon Invasion crisis, so I see no reason why that cannot be the case for this, too.”

Chris then sent a short montage of the footage that he had been reviewing. “So, the first one here is quite obvious. Everyone knows who Icon is, so we can move on. However, even though I worked with many of these metahumans, I actually don’t know their handles, let along their secret identities. After Icon, we first have this cat-themed hero. I call him ‘Black Panther’, even though he definitely did not sound ‘Black’ when he talked during the Demon Invasion.”

“Next, we have this woman who has electric powers. I am dubbing her ‘Electra’. Not after the assassin, but a ‘feminine’ form of the Spider-Man villain. Then we have the two ‘Quicksilver Twins’. Even though they weren’t involved in the Demon Invasion, they probably could be a boon to our little team-up.”

“So, you’re telling me this, why?” Minerva asked her boss.

“Well, you’re wonderful at arranging meetings, even if I miss a good number of them!”

“There’s a different between setting up meetings with leaders of industry and with superheroes who don’t want their identities revealed.”

“I have faith in you, Minvera.” Chris supported this statement with a coy smile and a thumbs up.

“So, why isn’t that one mercenary on the list? He helped out at the Demon Invasion, didn’t he?”

“Well, since he has been in the public eye recently, and not always in a positive light, I would rather recruit him personally, along with some back up, assuming these other heroes decide to join me.”

“What about those three metahumans, whom you picked up when you went to rescue your little sister?”

“Well, considering our past history, they might not be as receptive to a team-up if we asked them, especially if we would mention my name. Particularly that ‘Spider-Girl’. What’s her real name? Audrey?”

“Aubrey.”

“Yes, that’s it. She probably would deck me again if I tried to personally recruit her. We'll probably have to ask one of the others to recruit them.”

“Understandable. You did kind of kidnap them and then allowed them to get away.”

“So, can I count on you?” Chris said, ignoring Minerva's last dig at him.

“I’ll try my best.”

“I knew I could count on you! I’ll see you once I’m stateside.” Once Chris had ended the video call, he then turned his attention to the liquor menu that his private jet’s bar served. After ordering his drink and receiving it, Chris enjoyed his flight back home.




After her boss had ended their video call, Minerva then headed towards the building’s main elevator. Once she was inside the elevator, she pressed the button that would give her roof access. While at that moment, it would not make any sense why she would want to go up to the roof, if someone were to see what was on the roof, they would discover the answer.

On the roof of one of Chris’ corporate offices, there was a chariot that had two horses yoked to it. As soon as she knew that no one else was present, Minerva reverted back to her true form: the Greek Goddess of Athena. Now garbed in her divine wardrobe, Athena mounted the chariot and took hold of the reins. With one pull of the reins, Athena’s chariot was skybound. Since she’s a divine being, the mortals below could not perceive a flying chariot in the sky.

Higher and higher she flew into the sky, until she broke the atmosphere of the earth. Then Athena turned her course homeward towards Olympus, in order to take counsel with a certain sun god. Through the Milky Way, Athena fly, passing countless planets, both uninhabited and populated. Only after a short time, Athena’s chariot finally made landfall on Olympus. Finally at home, Athena searched out for Helios.

“Helios, I have need of your assistance.” Athena called out. The sun god appeared on the scene, his head crowned with rays of light.

“And what can I do for you, Daughter of Zeus?”

“I need the assistance of your all-seeing powers for locating these metahumans.” Athena said as she pulled out a scroll that had the list of names that Chris had compiled for the meeting that he wanted ‘Minerva’ to organize.


Also Ded, can you also put on the char list or sumit that while we have a Sam Wilson Captain America I'm not above someone joining as Steve Rogers... the closer we get to Avengers the more I want to do that story :P


I'll see what I can do.
@nitemare shape Glad someone has reacted to my most recent post.
