Independent Comics Universe - Low-Mid Level Advanced Interest Check

So, my idea for this would be a shared universe for Independent Comic characters to share a universe. This would basically be similar to the Marvel/DC One Universe, but with non Marvel and DC comics characters. basically think Transformers, Hellboy, TMNT, GI Joe, etc all sharing a universe.

I have story ideas floating around on how they're all bound together, but before I start writing the "Universe Bible" I want to see if people are interested or not.

For the record, I'd be going after Leonardo of the TMNT for a character, as well as at least one other character.

Writing a CS for Aquaman. Henry, we should discuss some things.

Sounds good. I'm sitting down to write some tonight, so shoot me a PM with what you were planning on doing

Ultimate One Universe: Marvel/DC RPG

Superman slammed down into the center of the Raft's courtyard, kicking up a wave of dust that obscured the chaos in the area. Guards struggled against their super powered charges, and many laid dead around the Man of Steel. The Raft was constructed on Ryker's Island in New York to house the super powered criminals and super max prisoners of the east coast. It's partner, the Triskelion in San Francisco, held the west coast criminals. The raft was a maze of hallways and cells built into the topography of the island, and it was one of the most secure locations on the planet.

At least it was supposed to be. The fact that someone managed to hack into the facility's systems and release all the prisoners almost simultaneously meant they were dealing with one of the most skilled hackers in the world. Finding him or her would have to wait, however. Clark had a bunch of scum to round up.

"Okay," he boomed in a commanding voice, "if you all return to your cells, I promise no one will get hurt."

The criminals began stepping out of the dust clouds like shadows into the light. They looked at Superman carefully, before a group charged him.

Clark sighed, "Fine. Have it your way."

Superman waited for the attacking mob to clear the guards they had been attacking before exhaling a great breath. The cold, frigid air that flowed around their legs froze the damp air, stopping them in their tracks. Clark floated over them, and smiled, "I hope you've all learned your lesson."

But his victory is cut short when an explosive force bats him out of the air. Clark lands hard on the ground below, and as the fires of the explosion dimish, a gigantic toy soldier appears over the wall of the courtyard.

"Toyman," Clark seethed. The insane inventor Winslow Scott had once been one of LexCorp's most successful weapons designers until he failed to create something that would help Luthor stop Superman. He was fired and lost his mind. Turning to crime, he began designing weapons based on the toys he had always loved. Clark had put him away last year. "How did you get the time to make that?"

"Oh," his voice came forth from the soldier, "this little party has been in the plans for quite sometime, Superman. I was just told to bring the favors."

The robotic soldier's arm opens up, and a minigun begins firing down on the people below. Superman speeds towards the arm, knocking it up, keeping the spray from killing anyone. He tried to snap the arm off as he had done many times before, but he found the alloys holding the mechanical man together were stronger than he had ever encountered before. Toyman used the other arm to swat the superhero off of him, sending Clark crashing through one of the prison's wall.

"Even with all your strength," the Toyman mocked from outside, "sufficient preparation and planning will still win, at the end of the day."

He fired the minigun again, the bullets harmlessly bouncing off the "S" on Clark's chest. Toyman knew it wouldn't do any good, but Superman figured it was probably being done to mock the Man of Steel. Superman responded by letting loose with his heat vision. The intense ray of heat began to melt the gun and the arm of Toyman's mechanical suit. But before Superman could press his advantage, a missile fired from the robot's knee and slammed into the cellblock, causing it to collapse on top of him. From beneath the rubble, he could hear Toyman escape.

**********

The cleanup was long an arduous, even with Superman's help. They managed to save the majority of lives trapped under the collapsed building, but some guards didn't make it. On top of that tragedy, Toyman and Metallo both escaped custody. That fact told Clark all he needed to know. Whoever had done this was targeting him. This was meant as a message for Superman.

"So who do you think it was?" Nick Fury's voice called out behind him.

"I have a guess," Clark said through gritted teeth.

"Luthot," he nodded.

"Who else would it be?"

"Well," Fury sighed, "we don't have any proof of that. If we get it, I'll be in touch. Until then, leave Lex Luthor alone. I don't need one of the military's most famous contractors beaten up by one of my boy scouts."

"Understood," Superman said as he kicked off the ground, heading back towards Metropolis.

No, but that was fun last go-round.My idea is for Donna to be a character foil to Ikol. Just like the mainstream Donna is depicted as someone who remembers every iteration of herself, she's someone that Loki seeks out in the hopes that perhaps she remembers something from the previous universe (and thus the time that Ikol/Lady Loki is from) that he can use in the war against Asgard. So she wouldn't be Wondy, she'd just be Donna Troy.

Yea, that sounds good to me. Go for it.

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!...sorry, couldn't help myself there.No one's picked up Wondy yet, correct? Anyone have any objection, general or specific, to my making use of the character of as I continue to damn all of Asgard?

Will you be making Donna Wondy again?

Keep on doing what you're doing.

So I just realized I probably should have PM'ed you about the use of Montoya, Byrd. Let me know if you want me to edit.

Parker Residence
Queens, NY

"What are you doing?" Gwen asks as she comes up behind me, putting her chin on my shoulder. "Because it's certainly not the homework you wanted to do together."

"Huh? Oh. Sorry. I did that hours ago. Just wanted you to be here to help." I continue to type away at my computer, desperately looking for any clues.

"Help to do what? I have homework to do, clearly," she laughs.

"What do you think could turn someone into a bunch of living sand?" I question without looking away from the screen.

Gwen sighs and flops back down on the bed, flipping through her book to the homework assignment, "Pete that's a bit above our expertise, no?"

"Maybe. No. I dunno. But I need to figure out what may have done this." The sight of Flint Marko contorting his body and becoming pure sand is burned into my memory. The guy was a crook, but no one deserves to be turned into something like that against their will.

"Have you looked through Oscorp's projects?" she arches her eyebrows.

I have, but I hold back saying so. I'm frustrated, and I shouldn't take it out on Gwen. "I've taken a look. Nothing jumps out at me on their site. And I'm worried about digging deeper and drawing suspicion. I don't need to advertise to Stormin' Norman Osborn that I'm Spider-man any more than I already have."

"What about Doctor Connors?" she suggests. Connors had been Gwen and I's scientific mentor during the school year last year. He had once been an Oscorp researched before taking a teaching position at Empire State University. "I thought about it, but I worried it might set off suspicion."

"Fine, you big baby, I'll go do it," she rolls her eyes.

"Thank yooooou!" I hop out of my chair, flip through the air, and kiss her.

"You're lucky I love you," she pushes me off.

"Seriously," I chuckle. "Who else can put up with my shenanigans."

Two Hours Later

With Gwen gone and Aunt May at work yet again, I don my mask and head out into the night. I'm not going out on patrol, but to talk to someone. Captain Stacy isn't on duty tonight, but one of his detectives is most likely out on the beat. She usually is, and I need to talk to her.

Swinging in Queens isn't fun until the houses start turning into skyscrapers, but once they do I can really get going. Slinging a web onto a light pole, I swing around it, catapulting myself high over the street at an extreme speed.

"Woo!"

Attaching another line to a building face perpendicular to my path, I yank the webbing hard, turning sharply and quickly. I flip, landing in an alleyway. There I wait for my contact with the major crimes unit. After a few minutes, she passes by the alleyway, and I call out, "Hey lady, you looking to buy?"

I've busted enough drug dealers in order to learn the lingo. Of course I'm still a one hundred twenty-five pound high schooler, so I don't really sound the part. Still, it gets her attention, and she turns, coming into the alley, Once there, she crosses her arms at me, "How many times do I have to tell you, call me if you want to talk."

"My phone's out of minutes," I tell her the sad, horrifying truth. Ah, the life of a teenager.

"You are the true definition of a man," she says sarcastically. Renee Montoya's one of the best up and coming officers of Captain Stacy's crew. One hell of a detective and strong to boot. Gwen's dad had always raved about her, and I made sure to bring her into my group of allies early one. She was on my side before old man Stacy was. It helps I helped her take down a human trafficking ring run by the Big Man early on. But that's all she needed to trust me, and ever since then we've been virtual partners. "What do you need?"

"I need you to do a little digging into Oscorp. See if there's anything that could have created that sand creature the other night." Before she can ask why I'm not doing it, I explain, "I can't. I'm already on their hit list, and if I go digging I run the risk of leading them right to me."

"You're lucky I think you're on our side, kid," Detective Montoya nods. "When do you need them by?"

"No rush," I respond, firing a webline into the air. "I'm sure I'll have something else on my plate sooner rather than later."

It wouldn't be me if I didn't get my stuff up later than promised.

See you guys tomorrow with Spidey and Supes.
