Several Weeks Ago…

The Kingpin was livid.

For the past two years he had seen his entire operation flip and it was all heading downhill faster than the Kryptonian Invasion was put down; all at the hands of some costumed vigilantes that in their first year had been perceived as propaganda spread by the law enforcement agencies to bring a little terror into the heart of the criminal. But just as Gotham’s crime had survived the Bat, New York would survive this. So he did as anybody would with money and power: he called out an order—a hit on the street level superheroes who were getting in his way.

He wanted Power Man, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Black Canary, and Deadpool out of the way—and he wanted it done with efficient brutality.

They would regret crossing him.

Present Day

“The Kingpin sends his regards.”

BANG!

Ow! That kinda hurt! Now, don’t get me wrong—I’ve been shot before… actually I’ve been shot a lot recently ever since I decided to be a wee-bit more proactive with my brand of superheroing. I must be doing something extremely bad or extremely good here to get shot with this kind of mobster movie quote being shot at me. Hah, shot – I just caught that.

“I think you missed…. ish.”

Whoever this Kingpin guy is—he sure didn’t send anybody that was like competent, I mean yeah he shot me… but he didn’t even aim for the head! Who shoots the amazingly inkillable Deadpool in the torso? I mean sure, he went for the surprise attack and I was way too busy watching a cat run around to hear his devious sneaky-sneaky bang-bang.

BANG!

At least he’s thorough.

BANG! BANG!

I guess I should start dodging or something, huh? Yep, I guess I’ll do that. It’s not like it’s even hard or anything either since well this guy isn’t a superhero assassin type—do they have those types yet—if not, I totally call dibsies on copyright royalties when that becomes a thing.

“So, you shoot the guy who shrugs off bullets like he’s Arnold Schwarzenegger and don’t even crap yourself a little? Man, can I have some of the drugs you’re on? I promise not to hurt you too bad!”

Dodging this guy isn’t particularly difficult either, so it’s not like I’m fighting somebody worth their own reality show or anything here. Which reminds me, I totally need to get my own reality show!, it’ll be fun and I’ll put people through trials and stuff! Like a video game! – that sounds eerily familiar though. Nah, that’s probably just the ghost cancer talking.

“Die, already!”

BANG!

“Oh c’mon buddy, be a pal!”

At this point he totally isn’t being a pal and he’s like wasted… so many bullets! I can’t even count the bullets he has used! Probably because I don’t remember anything past a year ago, but hey I ain’t complaining! Take that fundamental mathematics! Though there is a thing I remember for the most part—how to make grown men cry with only a finger and a toothpick! I don’t exactly remember why I have a toothpick…

“Bam! Right in the squishy parts!”

He’s screaming.

Probably because I just shoved a toothpick in his eye; I guess it’s not really an advanced technique but hey, I had a toothpick.

“Hey, can you stop screaming—you’re kind of annoying being all ‘waaaah aaaaah my eye’. Please?”

I narrow my eyes; this guy is rude as hell! I said please!

“That’s it!”

BANG!

That’s what rude people deserve—being shot, by me.

Though, this whole trying to kill me thing… while ineffective is a bit curious.

“It looks like I’ve got a mystery to solve.”

I'll be here if you get inspiration for a different character or whichever down the line. Glad to have you.

Of course this would require somebody uniting the team in the first place (first arc?), my first Deadpool post is pretty much him being shot in the head after the Kingpin puts a hit on all of the heroes trying to destroy his operations (which in OP showed was Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist). So maybe at this point they are operating separately until somebody brings them together?

Looking Forward to It, though!

I intend to reclaim Daredevil within the week.

Would you mind some Deadpool action if I keep my outline going? Maybe we can form a Marvel Knights sort of team to make Kingpin sore in the blubber? (Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Black Canary, and Deadpool I guess would be the makeup)

...Orin's (and Earth's) newest problem is a-coming though:

Hollow Stone: Slaves of the Apocalypse

We might have one more on the way and I still have to get in contact with one or two of the former players to see if they want to come back; but otherwise I'm completely cool with a small group RP if you guys aren't.

Ultimate Comics: DC - Shadows Among Us

I still would like to see the entire paragraph about the Chinese indoctrination and mission a bit more - it seems pretty simplified as is. I know you have it in you to fluff it out and detail it more, I remember your first post in last season's UDC which gave me the impression you were intent on developing it on a higher level.

Ultimate One Universe: Marvel/DC RPG

Working on some Deadpool post outlines at the moment; might have Deadpool run into Black Canary, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Daredevil but before I do that does anybody have plans to pick up or use any of these before I decide on a post that MIGHT contain them?

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

Marcus Huxley outlined, so maybe post soon for his next one.

Ultimate Comics: DC - Shadows Among Us

I will have a PM sent, but the only one who seems to have taken any offense is not me that much is clear. No ill intent was spoken in my previous reply only analysis offered by moderation consultants. That's the end on that subject.

Slade CS updated; if further revisions are needed, I'll make them.

How was a military/civilian psychiatrist even connected to the Mirakuru project? I think a recommendation would of likely came from Slade's command chain rather than his psych therapist. Unless Mirakuru was an experimental psychoactive drug and was meant to balance traumatized soldiers - but if that was so I don't understand why he went "rambo" on the doctors or officers involved.

A year after Mirakuru, he resigned from ASIS and killed everyone involved with manufacturing the serum, believing them to have forgotten all sense of honor and morality. - I'd elaborate on this one.

Hey guys, sorry for the absence but college is taking a lot out of me. I am in the works of tweaking my CS and finishing the sample but first I feel the need to ask...Gowi, do you have any comments or concerns about the way my CS has turned out so far, specifically the back story? I only ask since the major comment in every "criticism" (for lack of a better word) is quality control.

Stevens would spend the entirety of his childhood enamored with the idea of superheroes. - How was he enamored with the idea if superheroes only publicly appeared four years ago? Do you mean comic books? I'm unsure where this connection is made.

My big question is why you decided to melt the iconic Helm of Fate, though? I don't really understand why it's necessary when normally its the link between the god of order himself and the mortal plane.

So far it looks like the strongest concept you've had since you debuted as White Lantern in Bruce's version of this game.

Hollow Stone: Slaves of the Apocalypse

Everything for more or less looks good and lets try to hold on to this one this time, Vi, haha.
