Amalgamations are a tricky one. Personally, I don't have as much of an issue if it's something like Green Lantern or Dr. Fate; when the powers are tied to an object, who's to say that a Marvel character wouldn't find it before a DC character or vice versa? But I always try to keep it in the realm of "which characters run in the same circles?" Carol Danvers is a perfect Lantern, IMO, because she's already so tied to space. Many of her allies and enemies transfer over. But something like Matt Murdock GL? It's trickier.
Also, don't Punisher crimelords have a pretty short life expectancy?
Jesus fuck, CaH is still going? I'm old enough to remember when that shit needed mod approval because it wasn't a canon comic RPG...
I promise a real post is coming, but I wanted my sample canon :P


I might end up doing the same, save for updating said sample because I was pretty tired and just stumbling to the finish when I wrote it...

Though, if I do, it'll be one part of a larger post, a la @HenryJonesJr.
Hear that, guys? Byrd said my sheet was pretty; you all heard it here first.
Captain America casefile duplicated on the Characters tab, including new intel on known associates.

Guess I should start writing seeing as we're starting shortly, eh?
S.H.I.E.L.D. CASEFILE #000341

CLASSIFICATION: Above Top Secret


NAME:
Steven Grant Rogers

KNOWN ALIASES:
Captain America
William Nasland
Jeffrey Mace
William Burnside
[REDACTED]

CAPABILITIES:
Rogers is one of the world's finest athletes and fighters. His strength and speed dwarf that of the average Olympian. He has been clocked at a sprinting speed of [REDACTED] with a long jump of [REDACTED]. His reflexes border on the superhuman. His endurance and durability are well above-average. Advanced cellular regeneration gives him a limited healing factor.
Do not engage alone.

BACKGROUND:
In 1939, the Strategic Science Reserve, under the command of [REDACTED] and by orders from [REDACTED], initiated Project: Rebirth. The program, designed by Dr. Abraham Erskine, was commissioned to produce America's first genetically enhanced Super-Soldier. After an extensive nationwide search, viable candidates were invited to [REDACTED] to participate in drills designed to determine the best possible test subject. The selected candidate was Steven G. Rogers. 20 years old, Rogers suffered from asthma, rheumatic fever, heart palpitations, and sinusitis, among other ailments. On [REDACTED] 1940, Rogers was administered Erskine's serum and exposed to [REDACTED]. Following the experiment, Rogers' many ailments were cured. Additionally, the serum provoked extreme cellular growth, resulting in the rapid development of ligament and muscle tissue. Hereafter, Rogers operated at peak human-level performance.

Assuming the title of 'Captain America,' Rogers was deployed in [REDACTED] on [REDACTED] 1940. Following missions in [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], Rogers worked alongside the Howling Commandos and the Invaders. The latter team, which consisted of [REDACTED] thwarted Axis attempts to create a war-ending superweapon. At the conclusion of World War II, Rogers was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his service. In order to obscure America's progress in genetic engineering, all formal documents and evidence relating to Captain America were classified or destroyed. In subsequent conflicts, Rogers assumed a pseudonym, as to avoid arousing suspicion over his unnatural longevity. The official position of the United States government, the Strategic Science Reserve, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was and is that Captain America never existed.

Following his participation in the first Gulf War, Rogers cut all formal ties with S.H.I.E.L.D. He currently resides in [REDACTED]. He is not considered to be a threat to the United States or S.H.I.E.L.D. Periodic surveillance has been approved by [REDACTED].

KNOWN ASSOCIATES:
Colonel Nicholas J. Fury
Agent Sasha Bordeaux
Jason P. Garrick
Sylvester Pemberton (deceased)
Samuel T. Wilson
Tatsu Yamashiro
Clinton F. Barton
Diana Prince

What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?:
Well, obviously the biggest thing is that Captain America didn't die in the 1940s. In fact, he came home victorious and -- by virtue of his stunted aging -- went on to participate in every major American conflict through the 1990s. This is a Cap who isn't a "man out of time." He's been there every step of the way, and he's watched the evolution of the nation he loves... And it's a big part of the reason he hung up the mantle. This is a more world-weary Cap, a Cap who's lost a little of that trademark faith and can-do attitude. Make no mistake: this Steve Rogers still looks for the good in others and doesn't back down from a fight. He's just a little rougher around the edges than the traditional portrayal.

The answer is clear: Someone has to play a traditional Lantern, build up to Ultimate Blackest Night, and then a bunch of non-Lantern characters can be issued temporary rings. GL Daredevil, Blue Lantern Spider-Gw--err, Woman (sorry, @HenryJonesJr, reflex), Red Lantern Hulk...

EDIT: Blackest, not Darkest. I know comic stuff.

Almost like I purposefully posted my shitty app with an unmarked hider while everyone else was chatting and wouldn't read it?

But that'd be crazy.



So what you're saying -- if I understand this right -- is that your Mockingbird don't sing?

Anyway, I'm fine with joint custody of Fury. Howsabout Mondays and Thursdays, switching off weekends? Just remember: he gets really peckish in the afternoon, so try to keep some apple slices or some crackers on you.
Yep, yep. Or put even more succinctly: Novas run the prisons, Lanterns fill them.
