Marvel RE: Imagine 2, Electric Boogaloo - A Marvel Comics Roleplay

---

---

^{♦️ GM: @Mattmanganon ♦️ Genre: Comic/Superhero ♦️ Level Casual/Advanced ♦️}

---

Welcome to a new Marvel Universe in Marvel RE: Imagine, a reality reimagined and populated by the heroes and villains of your dreams. This is a world where anything is possible, and the only limit is your own imagination. In this universe, the Avengers may never have formed, or maybe they fell apart years ago. The X-Men may be the most famous heroes on the planet, or they might be hunted and feared by the masses. It's up to you to shape this world and create the stories that will define it.

But dangers lurk around every corner. Beneath the surface, there are forces at work that threaten to tear this world apart, or take it for themselves. Secret societies such as HYDRA manipulate events from the shadows. Cosmic entities ogle our world with greedy eyes. Terrorists such as The Brotherhood seize by force all that they desire and silence those who oppose them. And that's just the start. Across the world, there are other dangers just waiting to be uncovered, from alien invasions to magical cults with nefarious agendas.

It's an Age of Heroes, but not everybody's happy about it. The world is a complex and dangerous place, and some believe that the actions of these superpowered beings only make things worse. Others seek to exploit the chaos for their own personal gain, or to shape the world in their own image. But amidst all the turmoil and uncertainty, there are still those who stand for justice, who fight for what's right, and who are willing to put themselves on the line to protect the innocent. It's a dangerous world out there, but there's also plenty of opportunities for adventure, excitement, and heroism. So grab your shields, sharpen your claws, and get ready to join the fray in Marvel RE: Imagine!

Marvel RE: Imagine is a sandbox roleplay set in a reimagined (drink everytime I force that word in) Marvel continuity. I'm looking to create a fun, constructive atmosphere so while we are in Advanced, don't expect my eyes burning through the back of your head if you make a typo or anything. I want this to be a long running game, with a wide variety of characters, and a healthy amount of collab between players to boot. While self sufficient story telling is great, and being comfortable with writing detailed solo posts is a must here, this is also a group roleplay so I'd like to see a good mix of single content and multiple player interactions.

For my part, I will try to organise group wide GM events where multiple player interactions will be key, but I will do this at the request of the players as and when you want to see that level of content. Feel free to bounce any ideas for group events off me if there are things you want to see. I want to ensure that this is a fun experience with more longevity that these games tend to provide, and I will try to take any feedback on board when necessary.

Above all, have fun. And PM me or @ me in the OOC if you need me to squash a spider or something.

• Players may have up to two active character concepts at any one time. And while I'm sure your OCs are brilliant (and I'd totally love to see them in another setting perhaps) that's not what this RP is aiming for sorry; please make sure all applications are for canon characters only. That is to say only characters who have appeared in official Marvel media (comics, film, tv, games etc.). And I'll just stop you there (yes you, you know who you are), while Marvel has produced comics for other properties such as Transformers, Star Wars, etc., characters from outside franchises will not be accepted. Just use your common sense.
• Group and team concepts are allowed, but (for now) villainous concepts are not - further down the line there may be scope to include them but I would like to ensure we have a good line up of heroes in our roster beforehand.
• Applications will be reviewed 48 hours after submission. If competing concepts are submitted within that 48-hour window, all concepts will be reviewed together after the final competing sheet is submitted. An OOC statement of intent to compete is allowed, but incomplete sheets will not be considered.
• Applications must be posted in the OOC while awaiting GM approval. Once approved, you will need to post this in the Characters tab so they are easier accessed by other players
• Characters can be reimagined, but should be at least somewhat resemble their original mainstream interpretation. Like if you really squint you could still say "Yeah, that's the Punisher". That said, there will be leeway for concepts deemed exceptional.
• Once accepted, players may have input on the approval of concepts that relate to their "legacies," (supporting cast, antagonists) and "parent" applications will have priority in these cases. However, we ask that you don't go crazy with it. Daredevil has appeared in Spider-Man stories but that doesn't mean a Spider-Man player has sway over their use. Again, in these situations please just use common sense. And ultimately, we are here to have fun, so try and be open in allowing others to do so if all it would take is a quick character substitution to resolve an issue.
• This is the Advanced Roleplay section, but I won't be heavily enforcing things like paragraph count - I understand sometimes a shorter post will do, or you might feel pressed to get a post out whatever the quality. Advanced Roleplay guidelines, including a heavier focus on character development, longer posts, in-depth plots, and good grammar are highly encouraged and desired, but I'm not going to be a dragon about it. In the end of the day, this is a hobby and I would hate to put anyone in a position where it didn't feel like that.
• Posting once every two weeks is required, but this is not a hard line if you keep me in the loop with what's happening; three weeks without posting or OOC contact will land your character in Purgatory. Think of it like a pawn shop - if you return later and want to pick up the character from where you left off you can. However, characters in Purgatory will be available for competing applications so please communicate if you don't want to lose your work. Late posting I can live with, but ghosting and inactivity can kill a game and I'd like to avoid that wherever possible.
• All Guild rules apply, including but not restricted to, no explicit content.

This section contains a timeline of Key Events leading up to the events of the roleplay, and beyond.

Rather than a lengthy play-by-play of their entire history, focus on the core idea behind your concept, the significant changes you're making to the source material, and how you've reimagined the character. Be sure to highlight any specific alterations to their origin, identity, or goals, as well as any insights into important story arcs and the direction you plan to take the character in.

@Master EffeX @Byrd Man @Supermaxx @udonoodles @TGM @thatguy @Stern Algorithm

So, roll call, who's happy for me to take over as GM?

(NOW CLOSED:) Marvel RE: Imagine - A Marvel Comics Roleplay

@ErsatzEmpress Damn, i mean, i was having a lot of fun. I'm happy to continue as GM if you want to set me as CO-GM.

(NOW CLOSED:) Marvel RE: Imagine - A Marvel Comics Roleplay

@Supermaxx I was wondering if you would be ok with me using Iron Patriot in my story? I was thinking of him maybe getting the plans via corporate espionage, a deal with Stane (Stain thinking that he's selling Norman a lemon where he's selling tech that he is positive Norman cannot make work) Or maybe a blunt-force assault on Stark Industries by a Super Villain merc or 2. But the point is that Norman gets his hands on the plans and creates an inferior, bootleg Iron Man suit that, while still powerful, is inferior to anything Tony creates (I'm thinking that while the suit has the gadgets, the super-strength servo's don't work, but being that Norman is Super Strong anyway, he uses the armour as a cover for this.) My thinking is that Norman, as part of his presidential campaign hires a Mutant Supervillain to attack him and he pulls out Iron Patriot to "Defend himself" which helps stoke the anti-mutant rhetoric he's pushing, as well as push Oscorp's stock up.

Post #5: Goblin on the Wing

---

Normie sat in his room loudly tapping away at his computer. He heard the sound of his window opening slowly and frowned, but continued tapping. His ears had pricked up and he was following the telltale sounds of May's pattern of sneaking up on him. She was powerful and stealthy, but she was still too young to appreciate that people learned from her mistakes. The notorious *Fwip* As she attached her web to the ceiling and slowly lowered behind him.

"Hi May" He said, not breaking his stride.

"NO FAIR!!!" She cried "YOU ALWAYS KNOW I'M HERE!!!"

"You've got your Spider-Senses, i have my own super senses" He smiled a little, continuing to tap away at the computer.

"Whatcha doin'? Lookin' up weird video's of Daddy and Elsa?" She asked, cocking her head to the side. She didn't particularly understand what the absolute monolithic line of code. "Or are you watching The Matrix?"

"You wouldn't understand even if i told you" Normie sighed.

"I'm not dumb!" She punched him in the shoulder. Probably a little harder than she was supposed to, since she knocked him off the chair, but quickly shot a web with her other arm to grab him before he hit the floor and pulled them back onto his feet. "I'm REALLY sorry, don't tell Mommy!" She begged. Normie stared her in the eyes for a long minute. "DON'T!!!" She yelled. He then shook his head before starting to tap away at the keys again.

"I'm writing a combination Keylogger algorithm and trojan program to sneak into the backdoor of a company." He sighed. May spent a few minutes going over what he just said in her head.

"So, you're making a Ninja Horse?" She asked. Normie doubled over laughing at this response.

"Yeah, i'm writing a ninja horse." He laughed. She sat staring at it

"Computers are WAY cooler than i thought..." She said, her mind clearly blown away by this information. The lines of code that he was writing suddenly started going nuts as the algorithm started its work on cracking into the system he was looking at. "So, which company are you hacking into? I heard that Burger King has this gold card that gives you UNLIMITED burgers." She giggled. "But that's illegal and then daddy'll have to beat you up" She said.

"I'm not going for Burgers... I've got something a little better in mind." He replied. It was at that point that Oscorps logo popped up onscreen. "And i... am... in..." As he finished typing. He then saw a mass of files pop up in front of him and he smiled. "Now, time to get what i need..." He started to search the files, but quickly found a problem. "No..." He said with a worried look on his face. "No this can't be right... I'm in... I'm on the server, this is where the documents should be." He rubbed his face.

"Out of the way dummy" May said, dropping down and "I've got an idea" She grabbed the mouse from him and clicked the search bar before typing 'files that normie wants' getting no responses "Wow, this security has to be like... at least 7 times better than daddys." Normie shoved her out of the way before starting to check his coding.

"It's... It's correct, not a single number of asterisk out of place..." At that point, the window closed and a new one opened. It was a video call prompt with an accept or reject button. It rang once, then twice. Normie looked at May-Day. "Stay down, let me do the talking. Do NOT say ANYTHING under any circumstances." She quickly webbed up to the ceiling and lay flat on it. Normie cautiously pressed the accept button. At that point, the unmistakable face popped up.

"Greetings Normie... My god you look just like your father." Norman Osborn sat on his sofa in his house, sipping whiskey, he was wearing his white shirt without a tie and the top button undone, his black trousers and solid gold wrist watch being the only other visible clothing. "I'm very glad you decided to try and do this. I had a feeling. As for how i knew what your trojan would look like? Oh, i tracked a few of these some time ago, turns out it was your father trying to keep tabs on me. I knew he would teach you his hacking skills." Norman smiled. "In all seriousness, i am very glad to meet you. Your father sent me a few baby pictures, but he kept you well hidden."

"You killed my father. Don't try to get all jolly old grandpa with me." Normie replied. Norman continued to smile, but shifted, Normie could tell he had hit a nerve. Norman took a swig of his whiskey and clearly tried to re-rail his train of thought after Normie's blitz attack on his act.

"He was your father, but he was my son and i knew him FAR longer than you did. It wasn't ME who killed him, it was that Spider-Freak. But you didn't come hacking into Oscorp files to try and find out little things like that, did you?" Norman replied. "Tell Grampy what you're looking for and i'm sure i can get it for you. I'm an open book."

"Pity i can't tear out the pages." Normie replied. Norman laughed.

"Ah, dad taught you the Osborn wit very well. Yes, i have seen that defiant look FAR too many times in his youth. When he stole cookies from the jar, when he set fire to the rug, when he told me he was running away." Norman pointed at him with the hand he was using to hold the glass of whiskey. "My son, your father, lives in you." He smiled.

"Spare me the Lion King speech, tell me what you want?" Normie demanded. Norman laughed again.

"Amazing, you ignore my ask for what you want and try to turn it back on me, but let's be fair, you were the one that came to MY files. And whatever it is that you want, i'm more than happy to give it to you, but i need to know what that something is." He leaned back on his sofa, his thumb hooking comfortably into his trouser pocket to give a reserved, relaxed posture.

"No, you're the one who lured me in, you wanted this, so you tell me what you want? If it was just about the files, you would have left them for me to find." Normie pointed out.

"Frankly, i wanted a conversation with my favourite grandson." He smiled. "Is it so unbelievable that i actually want to talk to you and get to know you?" Normie simply stared at him without moving. Norman finally relented. "Alright, you got me. I wanted you to know that i'm here for you. And i wanted you to know that it specifically was me that was giving you the info. No strings attached, i just want you to know you always have family at Oscorp." Normie could tell that Norman was still hiding his main objective, but he did believe that part of this was some kind of trust building exercise. Trying to build some kind of give and take rapport. Well, if he was giving, then it was time for Normie to take.

"I am looking for the files on Oscorps old battle-suit technology... I..." Normie began, at that point he saw the only genuine look of concern on Norman's face he had seen all night.

"Your dad told me about the complications." Norman replied. "I'll have a few blueprints sent over to you immediately, the leg servo's in that wouldn't be too difficult to adapt to help you walk better." He tapped away at his keyboard for a second, before pressing send and a popup appeared, indicatng that he had received an email. This also tipped a bit of Normans hand that he was spying on Normie, knowing his email address without any prompts. "Anything else?" Norman asked with a smile.

"Do... You mind if i add you on Facespace?" He asked.

"By all means. If you need ANYTHING from me, please, message me. I'm not a monster, no matter what... Uncle Peter would have you believe." Norman replied, before closing the chat.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?!?!?" May-Day yelled the moment Norman hung up. "First you're all 'You killed my daddy, granddaddy!'" She said in a gruff voice. "Then you're all 'I love you grampy!'"

"You ever heard the phrase 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer?'" He asked.

"No, because it's stupid, why keep people you hate close to you? I'd take you over your stinky grandpa any day." She proudly said. "Wait, we gotta tell Mommy." She said, realizing exactly what happened.

"Tell her and i'll tell her you pushed me." Normie threatened. He saw the gears turn in May's head as she tried to figure out what to do. She clearly wanted to tell MJ about what had happened, but she REALLY didn't want to get punished for punching him.

"Fine, i'll keep your secret, just like Daddy being Spider-Man." She sighed.

"Thanks." Normie replied, before opening up the attached document. There was a few designs for robotic support suits... But then there was another one. Originally, Normie had been going in there to get information about something else, but he didn't want to tip his hand too much to Norman, hopefully getting something small now and opening the way to slice back in for the thing he ACTUALLY wanted later... But looks like Norman was a step ahead of him... "Goblin-Formula-research.zip"

@Stern Algorithm Well, in the original story, Parker Industries HQ WAS the Baxter Building. But yeah, i'm fine with the collab. As for how open they are with the Villains, they are framing it as a "Community Help Program" Where they are pretty much trying to rehabilitate villains. They aren't exactly advertising it to the public, but they aren't trying to hide it either. Hense Peter trying to get his Superior Six off the ground, hoping to get some good PR and convincing people that they have become heroes now.

(NOW CLOSED:) Marvel RE: Imagine - A Marvel Comics Roleplay

@thatguy Daredevil is a main character himself and someone might want to play him, so i'd probably say hold off on him for a bit. Apart from that, i did have an idea for Red Vulture, so if you could hold off on that, it's fine. But yes, Mysterion is good for you to use.

Also, i'll be very interested in what you do with Mephisto... An appearance from Frankencastle or Cosmic Ghost-Rider maybe?

Post #4: "Where are they now?"

---

"Peter, dear boy, with all due respect, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND?!" Otto shouted at him. In the room was Peter, MJ, Michael and Otto, only the ones who were in on the secret of Spider-Man's identity.

"I just wanted to get a feel for where everyone stands." Peter replied.

"Peter, I could have told you that." He sighed, a robotic tentacle reaching up to rub the bridge of his nose. "Now you've put Max and Adrien on the defensive not to mention how i am now going to have to pretend i'm still bitter about it so i can keep my credit with the other bad guys."

"I don't think your street cred is the most important thing right now." Michael sighed.

"Ok, well, i'm hearing complains, let's hear solutions?" MJ replied. "Scorpion gave us an unequivacle NO, but that's probably because of his deal with the state tying him to Oscorp rather than any actual loyalty to Norman. So, who else we got contact info for?"

"I know a guy who knows a guy who could get us in contact with Chameleon, but-."

"Max hates him almost as much as Peter and I trust that guy as far as i could throw you." MJ smiled sarcastically. "Hard veto on Chameleon." Peter put his hands up as a show of submission.

"Ok, Chameleon's off the table. Anyone else?" He asked. Otto was the one to respond this time.

"I... I'm in contact with Rhino..." He replied.

"Would have been great to know before." Peter stated.

"Look, he's in no position to work with us at the moment. He's in constant pain, he's agitated, that suit is starting to cause even more feverous discomfort. If we bring him in, he's not fighting for us, he's getting out of that suit and then paying his debt to society. I never swore a hypocratic oath, i'm not that kind of doctor, but i still believe in a doctor doing no harm to their patients. And anyway, he won't come in, because he knows we'll turn him over to the cops afterwards, but i still feel it's my duty to try and help him out." Otto sighed, sitting down, his tentacles forming into a supportive chair for him. "My whole reason for doing this is to help mankind and that includes Aleksei." Peter got up and walked over to Otto, before patting him on the shoulder.

"Hey, never apologize for trying to help people. It's the reason you were the first one i came to with this whole crazy scheme." He then looked over at Michael "No offense." Michael smiled a little.

"Oh really? I assumed you didn't come to me first because you were still mad about the Fisk Foundation Science Fair." The three men laughed for a second, but MJ rolled her eyes, before snapping her fingers in the air

"Boys, back to the task at hand. So far we have a no on Rhino and Chameleon. Come on, who else?"

"Well, to be perfectly honest, during my time on the streets, i specifically tried to hunt down a few... Priority targets for my feeding. Yes, i know we don't kill here, but i need to feed and i thought it would be better to feed off of those that could do the most harm until i could get my blood substitute serums working properly." He pulled out his Spyder phone and spent about a minute whisking through his own files. "Here we go." He brought up the files on the holo projector in the middle of the table. "Quick run-down on the list." As he started listing off names, their portraits became front and center in the holograms. "Herman Schultz, AKA Shocker - Unknown, rumours range everywhere from operating as a mercenary in Madripoor to working for anti-mutant groups right here in NY. Quentin Beck, AKA Mysterio - Unknown, that man has faked his death more times than i care to count, i gave up on him quickly. He'll make himself known exactly when he wants to be. Mister Negative, AKA Martin Li - Operating with the Maggia, Had a few run ins with him, but none ended very well for me. Carnage AKA Cletus Cassedy -"

"PASS" The other three all groaned in unison.

"I hate to say "Beyond redemption" But that guy blew up a bus full of kids and laughed about it on TV. Nope, no, hell-no." Peter responded. Michael nodded with agreement.

"Hey, i'm just telling you the info, up to you what you do with it. Anyway. Sergei Dimitri Symostivych Kravinoff, AKA Kraven the Hunter - Currently in Africa working with the Congolese government to hunt down warlords."

"Good for him." MJ Smiled.

"Damn, i was kinda hoping for Kraven, good morals, even if he is a sociopath." Peter sighed.

"Norman Osborn- we all know about that." He quickly went to the next slide "Curtis Connors, AKA The Lizard - Cur" But Peter butted in before he could continue

"Veto, that guy is only interested in getting close to me and stealing my blood to improve himself." Peter said with a frown.

"But he is a doctor of Neogenics, he could help me and Alistair considerably in our- Michael began, but Peter butted in again.

"VETOED! Next slide!"

"He gave Pete some pretty big trust issues." MJ replied.

"Curt was never the same after he lost his arm." Otto sighed. "Before, i'd have recommended him for our program, but i think The Lizard has gotten too far into his brain.."

"Can we continue?" Michael asked. "Stop butting in, it annoyed me back at University, it annoys me even more now. Aaron Davis, AKA The Prowler - 2 years into a 12 year stint in Rikers for 7 count of Burglary, 3 counts of Assault with a deadly weapon and 2 counts of resisting arrest."

"Yeah, that guy does not like me, but to be fair to him, i've never seen him go after anyone with lethal intent. Guy just likes to crack safes and knock over rich fat-cats." Peter said.

"Yeah, but now WE'RE the rich fat-cats." MJ reminded him.

"Point is, the guy has potential." Peter concluded.

"Yeah, but what would he even do here, the man is a career burglar. He's not a scientist, he stole all of his super-equipment and bungled it together into a super-villain persona by me and a few others." Otto asked.

"True-" MJ retorted, looking at her phone "But he seems to have a head for computers. Hacked his way through most of those fat-cats security systems. Could always hire him to help develop software for the Spyder line, or maybe put him in charge of our Cyber Security."

"I'm with MJ on this one, even if he's not going to be in our Six, i want to give him a chance at Parker Industries nonetheless. I see a guy who can be better than he currently is. Anyone else?" He asked.

"I..." Michael shuffled nervously. "I also have a contact number for Screwball..." The picture in the hologram showed Screwball's profile on her social media and the others quickly took note of the page having activated hyperlinks only available to her premium subscribers. The 3 stared at Michael for an uncomfortable minute, before they all responded in unison again.

"PASS"

@thatguy Go for it.

(NOW CLOSED:) Marvel RE: Imagine - A Marvel Comics Roleplay

@thatguy If you want to go after any Spider-Man villains, that's all good. Pretty much the only off limits ones are the ones on my character sheet:
*Doctor Octopus
*Michael Morbius
*Scorpion
*Spider-Slayer
*Vulture
*Green Goblin
*Venom
*Electro

If you want to go after any of the other Spider-Man Villains, it's all good. I mean, i don't have any plans on using any of the Maggia characters like Silvermane, Eel, Kingpin or Hammerhead, also i have no plans on using Carnage if you want to go after him.
