@The Kid Lantern: I'm fine with it. But I am just warning you that the majority of the characters (if not all of them - Fantastic 4, Avengers, Spider-Man) are in New York City. I just don't want you to write yourself into a corner because no one is able to interact with your character if he is going to be outside of NYC.
I finished wrapping a rope of spider silk around the three combatants that the three of us had just subdued. And even then, I had to gag the spellcaster and tied up the snout of the lizardman because the guy in the weird, yellow hate would have kept hurling spells at us, and the lizard guy would have kept spewing out fire. Meanwhile, those metallic cubes ominously hovered above the sky, as if they were waiting for something to happen. I don’t need a spider sense to know that something bad was going to happen.
The people, who had taken shelter inside the shops and buildings nearby, had just started to file out in order to escape the chaos that had fallen upon Pacific Point, when some television screens in one of the shop windows spontaneously turned on. A man, presumably the Game Genie, who wore a black, hooded cape, appeared on the television monitors.
“Citizens of Pacific Point. I have patiently waited for the Blue Blur to arrive at city hall, but he still ignores my challenge. Therefore, I felt like I needed to up the ante in order to convince him to come out from hiding. Unfortunately, that means you all have to suffer some more. And for that, I apologize, but it must be done.”
Suddenly, the metallic cubes began raining down red beams. However, instead of burning holes in people or something like that, the red lasers made anyone who was struck by it slowly fade away into nothing. After one of the cubes had hit a person, it would immediately turn around and float back towards city hall, as if it were carrying something back to the Game Genie’s headquarters. When people began disappearing, the crowd panicked as they tried to escape.
The three of us were paralyzed by not knowing what to do in this situation. We could have tried to protect the civilians by destroying the cubes before they could disintegrate them, or at least make them disappear. However, if the devices were actually capturing people with their red beams, we could possibly erase any captured victims from existence. Therefore, we would be damned if we don’t act and damned if we do. A real catch twenty-two.
The Son of Osiris was the first to act. Since he could not attack the cubes without risking the lives of the people who might have been captured by the cubes, the Son of Osiris formed an magical bubble shield around himself and some nearby bystanders so that he could block the red beams and allow these civilians to escape.
Meanwhile, the stroller that a woman had been pushing her young daughter in had been capsized when the crowd stampeded away from the swarm of metallic cubes. While the mother struggled to take her own daughter into her hands, one of the cubes took aim at the woman and the young girl. However, before the cube fired its red beam, Kyra dashed over to the woman and tried to help. And when the cube did emit its laser, Kyra sacrificed herself in order to give the woman and child time to get away. It took all of my willpower not to scream out her real name while I watched her disappear before my eyes.
When the cube began to turn to return to city hall, I was determined not to allow it to escape. With a pinpoint accuracy that I would only have dreamed of before I got my powers, I struck the metallic box with a webline. The cube struggled to move forward as I held it back with my spider strength. Even as my sixth sense buzzed in my head, I continued to pull back against the cube. If the Son of Osiris had not jumped forward and shielded me from another cube’s beam, I might have suffered from Kyra’s fate, too. When the magical shield came up, it severed my web strand, which released the cube, allowing it to finally fly back towards city hall.
“We can’t just leave her!” I told the Son of Osiris.
“I agree.” He communicated telepathically, “But we need to find a way to do that without getting hit by one of these cubes.”
I just really hope that we are correct that these cubes are only capturing people and not disintegrating them.
Ms. Marvel is able to use her powers to switch between her pre-transformation and Kree-Human hybrid appearance. Her Kree-Human hybrid looks like the picture above, while her pre-transformation looks like a regular college-aged student.
Characters Abilities: -Kree-Human Hybrid: Through the experiments of the Brood, Carol Danvers is now a hybrid of the Kree and human species. These experiments raised her powers above the levels of any normal human or Kree. For instance, Carol inherited the Kree skin density, bestowing upon her near invulnerability. However, since she is a hybrid, she does not need an enriched Nitrogen atmosphere to breathe. -Superhuman Strength: Due to her enhanced Kree/Human physiology, Ms. Marvel is able to easily lift 75 tons (average). However, as she absorbs energy, Ms. Marvel is able to lift more weight, easily over 100 tons. -Superhuman Speed: Ms. Marvel is able to move at high speeds, easily above any levels a normal human could ever dream of. -Superhuman Agility and Reflexes: Ms. Marvel’s agility, balance, and reflexes far exceed that of any regular human. While concentrating, only villains with the fastest reflexes and truest aim will be able to land a blow on Carol. -Superhuman Stamina: Carol’s enhanced Kree-Human physiology allows her to continuing exerting herself at full effort for several hours. Her energy absorption ability increases the upper limits of her stamina. -Invulnerability: Ms. Marvel’s skin is able to withstand almost any soot of punishment, while her energy absorption defends her from almost anything else. Bullets bounce off her skin like nothing, while larger armaments fare a little better. Repeated powerful blows can wear her down, but weaker ones may sometimes go unnoticed. -Flight: Ms. Marvel is able to reach Mach 3 while flying. At lower speeds, she is able to maneuver in the air with ease. She is also capable of using her own body as a human projectile, ramming into her enemies with great force. -Photonic Blasts: Carol is able to blast photonic projectiles from her hands. Her energy absorption enhances the power of these bolts of energy. -Energy Absorption: Part of Ms. Marvel’s invulnerability is her energy absorption. While her body can absorb any form of energy, her body is especially efficient in absorbing electric, light, thermal energies and radiation. -Minor Molecular Control: Ms. Marvel is able to change her clothing through using her energy absorption powers. She is also able to switch between her hybrid and regular human form at will. These powers are easily used with the slightest amount of heat or light energy.
Characters Skills: -Expert Combatant: When she was changed by the Kree Psycho-Magnetron, Carol also received the knowledge of Kree combat that someone of Kree heritage would have learned as they grew. -Love for the Stars: Carol has been interested in the space and the stars. Because of this, she has pursued a degree in order achieve her dreams of reaching the stars. Her powers have also allowed her to achieve this dream. -Multilingual: Carol is obviously fluent in English. Her transformation into Ms. Marvel has made her fluent in the language of the Kree. She has also picked up Russian as an undergrad.
Origin Story:
Carol Danvers was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Joseph and Marie Danvers. Even though she was the eldest child in the family, her father, Joseph favored his two sons, Steven and Joseph Jr. No matter what she did, whether Carol excelled at school or athletics, nothing pleased her father. It almost seemed as if he expected one of his two sons to carry on the family name. Even though his sons did not perform at the same level as Carol, their father still preferred them.
During her middle school years, tragedy struck the Danvers family. At the time, Joseph Danvers’ contracting business was barely staying afloat. One night, Joseph Sr. was driving Carol and Steven home after their father had drank his sorrows away after a dismal day of work. Since he was too intoxicated to be operating motor vehicles, Joseph Sr. caused a traffic accident. While the other driver luckily left the crash relatively unharmed, his son Steve failed to survive. Carol’s father could not accept the reality that his impaired driving caused the death of his eldest son, instead blaming Carol as the child who survived.
Ever since Steven’s death, Carol’s father descended into a spiral of despair. Now the bottle became his constant companion, even more so since the decline of his contracting career. Sometimes, when business was not faring well and Joseph has drank too much, Carol’s father would come home in a drunken stupor, capable of beating what remained of his broken family. While his two remaining children would occasionally feel the blunt force of their father, Carol’s mother usually was on the receiving end so that her children were not.
Carol’s abysmal life did not end there. Her junior year in high school, Carol learned that her family had only enough money to send one of his offspring to college and that her father had chosen her brother over her, in spite of her superior academic and athletic career. For her entire life, Carol had dreamed of the stars, wishing to go to space one day. She wished to become Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineer so that Carol could one day see the stars. However, now her dreams were crushed.
Or so she thought. One night, Carol was abducted by Brood-infected Kree and taken to their outpost that was orbiting Neptune. One uninfected Kree officer, Mahr-Vehl, after he had discovered the Brood infiltration, rescued Carol from his doomed comrades. However, during this rescue, a device, called the Kree Psyche-Magnetron, mixed Carol’s DNA with that of the Kree. And from this day, Carol became something more than human. She was a superhuman.
At first, Carol had a split persona that created her superhero alter ego, whom the Boston media dubbed Ms. Marvel, after ‘she’ had saved a plane from crashing. However, when the Brotherhood of Mutants attempted an assassination of Senator Kelly, merged Carol’s personas together in the hopes of drawing out Carol’s unexperienced human persona. With the help of the X-Men, Carol was able to thwart the Brotherhood’s evil plans, despite her more experienced Kree persona no longer in control.
Eventually, S.W.O.R.D., a subdivision of S.H.I.E.L.D. dedicated to extra-terrestrial threats against Earth, recruited Carol because of her abilities. Besides being trained to control her abilities, Carol was allowed to be enrolled in S.W.O.R.D.’s academy in New York City on a full ride once she had graduated from high school. This obviously solved the problem of her father not being able to send her to college and it allowed her to pursue her dreams of reaching the stars.
When Galactus attacked Earth, S.W.O.R.D., as the extra-terrestrial arm of S.H.I.E.L.D., along with Carol, were Earth’s first response against the galactic entity. Along with other of the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, who eventually formed the Avengers, fought off Galactus and saved the world from becoming a barren wasteland.
Story Arcs: -Moonstone: Obviously a story involving the villain(ess), Moonstone. -Rogue: I hope to tell this story with a twist (including Carol keeping her powers and memories). -Avenger?: Carol is adjusting to the life of both an undergrad and an Avenger. How will her teammates feel if they discover that she’s younger than she leads them to believe.
Supporting Cast: Walter Lawson: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. who personally recruited Carol. He is also secretly the Kree scientist, Mahr-Vehl, who wishes to protect humanity due to its biological diversity, unlike his own kind, the Kree.
Abigail Brand: Head of S.W.O.R.D.
Avengers: Earth’s Mightest Heroes. Carol is one of their most recent recruits.

@Chaotic Chao: You should talk to @DrewVonAwesome, as he is playing Mr. Fantastic, if I recall correctly. Also be in contact with Gowi, since he is also playing Sue Storm.
