Rogue Continuum [CLOSED PENDING REBOOT]

That's a great roster you've got there. Looking forward to seeing them all in action!

Rogue Continuum [CLOSED PENDING REBOOT]

| Name |

Connor Hawke // The Immortal Iron Fist

@Morden Man

I love you.

Rogue Continuum [CLOSED PENDING REBOOT]

Gave it a think over. What's that thing Uncle Ben's been known to say?

"Fuck it."

Did anyone say Spider-Verse?

| Name |

Dr. Peter Benjamin Parker // Spider-Man

| Age |

40

| Character Differences |

Peter’s been Spider-Man for twenty-five years. He’s experienced, has Spidey down to a science – he knows what to do, has the skills and tools to do it, and that feeling of responsibility continues to burn hot, now more than ever, he’d say. He’s not that rookie kid eclipsed by the old guard anymore – he is the old guard.

Now, for the Parker half of his life. He’s married to Mary Jane, with whom he has two kids: Anna May (“Mayday”) and Benjamin (“Benjy”) – fifteen and ten years old. He works as a professor of biotechnology at his alma mater, Empire State University, having previously held a job as a science teacher at Midtown High while working on his PhD. Now, it may sound like Peter’s somehow managed to elude that annoying Parker Luck of his, but that’s not strictly true. It just manifests itself in different ways, as he struggles to juggle being a father, husband, hero, Avenger, and reliable employee all at once. The game’s still the same – the scenario’s just changed a little, is all.

| Brief World Background |

Earth 15862 // “Home”
A Marvel Studios production...

The old guard have, for the most part, given way to the new. Bucky Barnes is Captain America. Kate Bishop is the sole Hawkeye. Xavier’s School is run by Katherine Pryde, and Franklin Richards heads the Future Foundation alongside his sister with seldom guidance from their parents, who’ve hung up the blue spandex. Ben sits on the Avengers’ reserve list, while Johnny stands among the organisation’s seniority alongside the likes of Tony Stark, Logan, Luke Cage, and Jessica Drew (some more senior than others). Natalia Romanova is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. following Nick Fury’s passing. Steve Rogers is President of the United States. The Daily Bugle supports Spider-Man.

It’s a strange world.

| Brief Character Background |

You know the story. At fifteen, Peter Parker was bitten by a spider. He got powers. He was irresponsible, and his uncle died. Peter’s guilt led him to swing through New York’s streets as Spider-Man. Over the first few years, through plenty of trials, lessons and loss, Peter learned to move past that guilt. It no longer defined him. He helped people because it mattered, because it was the right thing to do. These convictions took a toll on his life, and many people, himself included, suffered for it. Spider-Man took precedence over Peter Parker, for better or for worse... usually for worse.

Eventually, Peter learned to strike a balance. He did his best to give himself at least some of the attention everyone kept saying he deserved, and distinguished himself as one of the best among his peers, earning their respect, and occasionally, their admiration. He had a daughter, got married (in that order), finally got that doctorate he’d been neglecting, became a legacy, found a job he loved, and had a son. He was a father, friend, hero, husband, teacher and mentor, and despite all the blows life kept dealing – and boy, were they dealt – he was happy.

He is Peter Parker. He is Spider-Man.

And he’s trying to find his way home.

Peter was abducted while swinging home to cook dinner.

@Retired I might sit this one out. Can't wait to see the final roster in action!

FUCK THE FUCK, YES.

Accepted. Granted I'm not a GM. But I've accepted it and that's all that matters.

Jenny Sparks is sick of letting the world pass her by. So many years on this Earth, and what has she actually done? What has she achieved? Nothing. All she has to her name is a past she’s not proud of, the uncertainty of what she is, and the question of what she’s been brought here to do. She spends her days drinking and smoking her annoyingly long life away, doing nothing, achieving nothing. Being nothing. She reckons it’s about time she changed that.

Stryfe was an eye-opener. Watching America’s superheroes rally to defend the innocent made her realise something... they were doing it wrong. They’re disorganised, messy, reactionary. A far cry from the heroes they no doubt wanted to be. The world’s in a precarious place now, and shit could hit the fan at any second. It needs saving. But when the help you’ve got is just going to make things worse, what’s left for you to do?

Well, that’s easy. You’ve got to do it yourself.

Jenny’s new mission is going to thrust her back into a world she’s tried very hard to leave behind. Covert ops, secret intelligence organisations, superheroics, capes and powers and metaphysical superscientific bullshit. To make the world feel right again, she’s looking for a group of like-minded people – and her search is going to lead her right into the middle of the metahuman arms race.

Jenny is a very grumpy, old, powerful woman, and she’s done sitting on the sidelines.

Don’t piss her off.

Jenny’s spent her whole life (and that’s a lot of life) trying to figure out why she’s been put on this Earth. How is she over a hundred years old, but doesn’t look a day over twenty? How is it that she was born with powers, but doesn’t have a single metahuman gene in her body? How is she not dead yet? And just what the hell is she supposed to do with all these so-called gifts, which have thus far condemned her to a life full of bad decisions and countless disappointments? She still can’t answer most of those questions, but she thinks the last one might finally be in her ballpark. Maybe she’s supposed to save the world.

But to do that, she needs a team.

Through Jenny, I’ll be injecting some new, interesting concepts and characters from Warren Ellis’ Wildstorm catalogue into the Absolute Comics universe. I love these characters, and I’m excited for the chance to tell a story that can have far-reaching consequences not only for them, but for the Absolute universe as a whole.

Oof, two webheads already! I was gonna throw my own take on Spidey into the mix, but at the risk of making this a Spider-Verse game, I might sit this one out unless a secondary concept comes to me. Happy to see this up, though-- I'll be reading along either way!

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

I’ll be there.
