Massive Multiversal Crossover: Interest Check and Signups

I do believe I will stick around. I need an RP like this: where I don't have to write twelve paragraphs and develop complex story arcs. Just some laid back, multiverse fun. Also, View: totes hilar.

Massive Multiversal Crossover: Interest Check and Signups

Superman will probably need to be nerfed. Based on what I know from Superman

Mtntopview

Unfortunately, that seems likely. As much as I love the guy, his powers pretty comfortably sit in "plot device" territory. Though, really, it depends on the author, so anything's possible.

Dead Cruiser

I was going to treat him like the Justice League animated TV series did. He was getting his butt kicked by the likes of Solomon Grundy, just because he held back THAT much.

FacePunch

You may have to slightly adjust personality then. In a multiverse RP, I'd imagine that there will be tons of situations where holding back wouldn't be reasonable since, for example, nothing whatsoever is around. I know of an instance were Supes took the opportunity where he wasn't on Earth and released all restraints. At least one. I'm not even much of a DC Buff, I just heard that from a friend.

CourierSix

There's also that fact that he's holding back because he doesn't want to kill whoever he's fighting. He's pretty adverse to death, and has only killed on very rare occasions; even then, he feels absolutely terrible about it for a long time.

FacePunch

I suppose. I don't know much about the details in DCU like that. All I know is that this version of Superman wouldn't ever be accepted. Not even in... One Million years. ... Bad joke alert.

CourierSix

Gah. I can't believe I giggled at that. I never giggle.

I'd be happy to oblige by any limitations you guys set. It doesn't really matter how strong Superman is: just the fact that he's Superman will suffice for me.

If it means anything, there's also a lot more magic around in this RP thus far than the DCU usually sees, so that's a factor too. It would be awesome to see Supes in this really, if we can get him to work. XD

I'm still considering Thor too. We could do the classic dream matchup: Superman v. Thor.

CourierSix

A battle for the ages, and a discussion that could last hours. The two are pretty evenly matched, I believe. EDIT: Hehe. If the Sentry is as powerful as they say he is (which, based on what I've read, he usually isn't), he would probably beat Supes.

Name: Kal-El (Superman) Age: Unknown (Appears to be in his late twenties) Gender: Male Appearance: 6'3, 235 lbs, blue eyes and black hair. Canon, AU, or OC?: Canon Universe of Origin: DCU (New 52) Personality:Superman is commonly seen as a brave and kind-hearted hero with a strong sense of justice, morality and righteousness. He adheres to a strict moral code often attributed to the small town American values with which he was raised, thanks to his adoptive parents. His commitment to operating within the law has been an example to many other heroes but has stirred resentment among others, who refer to him as the "big blue boy scout." Superman can be rather rigid in this trait, causing tensions between himself and many of the so called "Anti-heroes" he works alongside. To protect his secret identity, Superman has constructed a persona in his civilian identity as Clark Kent. To the world at large, Clark is a mild-mannered and clumsy person. Having lost his home world of Krypton, Superman is very protective of Earth, and especially of Clark Kent’s family and friends. This same loss, combined with the pressure of using his powers responsibly, has caused Superman to feel lonely on Earth (and in the universe at large), despite his many friends, and his parents. The arrival of Supergirl (Kara Zor-El) to Earth in recent years had relieved some of said loneliness. Something significant worth noting is that Superman rarely goes all out. Most of the time, he holds back considerably, out of fear that he could kill his opponent and/or threaten bystanders and his allies. Abilities/Weapons: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Superman_%28Clark_Kent%29#Powers He has way too many powers to post here. I assume everyone knows what Superman can do, though. Experimental Kryptonian Containment Device: A small chip installed into the back of Superman's neck, the machine acts as a power equalizer and 'kill switch.' The device works by constantly irradiating Superman with small amounts of red sun radiation, as well as being enchanted by powerful magic; this combination keeps Superman from using his full power. The EKCP (E-kip) was created by UMMA as a way to monitor Superman, and keep his powers in check. They theorized that if S.E was able to take control of Superman's mind, he would become a legitimate threat to UMMA's very existence. Inside the device is also a piece of green kryptonite surrounded by lead. If UMMA's leadership, for some reason, needed a way to stop Superman completely, they could activate the kryptonite and eject its radiation into Superman's brain. This will instantly bring Superman to human levels of strength and block off the use of his other powers, as well as putting him through intense pain. The kryptonite will take time to kill Superman, however. Backstory: Superman's origins, in free comic-book form!http://theages.ac/origin/1.html Superman is the most powerful being on planet Earth, an alien immigrant named Kal-El from the planet Krypton who was raised in Smallville, Kansas, to become an American superhero. Raised with high moral ideals, he uses his incredible strength, speed, flight and various other superpowers to fight evil and protect the innocent. In his civilian identity he is Clark Kent, a mild-mannered reporter working for the Daily Planet in Metropolis. He is a founding member of the Justice League of America and a charter member of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th Century. A few months after Darkseid's defeat and the formation of the Justice League, Superman found himself confronted by an alternate version of Mister Mxyzptlk, an omnipotent cosmic trickster, who enjoys screwing with his reality's Superman. The being claimed that he had become bored of his universe's Superman, and had decided to use Kal-El as his new entertainment. After an entire day of being stalked and harassed by Mister Mxyzptlk, Superman attacked him. Mister Mxyzptlk, panicked by Superman's anger, reacted by teleporting him out of the DC multiverse. Superman found himself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by unfamiliar worlds. When he came in contact with UMMA, he learned that his multiverse was in fact but a small piece of the actual multiverse at large, on the other side of what his multiverses' gods called the 'Source Wall.' Upon discovering this, Superman established a working relationship with UMMA and became one of their agents (though his true loyalties lie with the Justice League and earth.) He has devoted himself to protecting the Multiverse at large, working hand in hand with the rest of UMMA to defeat the Shadow Entity. Superman, despite his new obligations to UMMA, remains in frequent contact with the Just League on earth using advanced quantum entanglement communications technology. He is on constant watch for the return of Darkseid and the armies of Apokolips. For his full history, go here: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Superman_%28Clark_Kent%29. Be warned, there's A LOT there. Faction: UMMA --- I know, it's extremely short. But I'm using its length to test the waters here, so to speak.

Shorter than the original post (by six hundred words), but I hope it was of equal (or better) quality. I think I'll wait for some more posts to pass before I continue his origin arc..
