The Forgotten Heroes [WWII Marvel Themed] ACCEPTING CS's!

Secret ID: Keene Marlow

Alias: the Destroyer, the Mighty Destroyer

Age: 28

Powers: Super soldier serum enhanced his strength, speed, and agility to Capt. America levels with slightly more increased strength. Marlow was also an accomplished hand-to-hand fighter, and was trained in the use of fire-arms.

Weaknesses: Destroyer is still very much human and doesn't hide behind an indestructible shield. In the year 2016 he will presumably have a suit that will help with this to a degree.

Personality: Marlow was just a cocky journalist until he was thrown into a concentration camp. There he witnessed several horrors and upon escaping with superpowers he became reckless in the face of danger and did everything in his power to crush the enemies of the Allies. He's a little quieter than he was before getting powers but still cocky, and he has a deep hatred for the enemy knowing they've experimented on civilians. He's definitely in the 'shoot first ask questions later' camp, which has put him at odds with Captain America at least twice so far.

Appearance:

Out of Costume

In costume: Modern suit, see avatar.

BRIEF Bio: Keene Marlow was a journalist behind enemy lines during World War II when he was captured by the forces of the Red Skull and Adolf Hitler. Believed to be a spy for the Americans, Marlow was thrown into a concentration camp where he would be beaten and later used as a human guinea pig. Some of the worst things were seen in this camp, women beaten and raped, torture, and then there were the experiments. Though Professor Eric Schmitt originally worked for the allies, he was now being forced to recreate the super soldier serum that created Captain America. After weeks of trial and error, the serum finally worked on Marlow who gained similar powers and abilities to Capt. America. Breaking out of the concentration camp and killing several enemy soldiers, Keene did what he could to free as many people in the camp as he could and returned back to an Allied forces base.

While back at the base, Marlow met Capt. America whom he viewed as too much of a boy scout. Keene had seen horrors most people could never even imagine. He decided to try and one up the red, white, and blue clad hero and came up with his own costume. Striped pants, ghoulish mask, and a skull on his chest... he became the Destroyer. He assisted the Captain as well as other WWII era heroes including members of the Invaders and the Liberty Legion.

The Destroyer was active for the next year in Europe as a costumed adventurer. He would also meet two other men who wished to fight against the enemy and keep their identities safe, giving them permission to use the alias and look of his costumed alter ego. With three Destroyers now active, the Axis viewed the hero whom they thought was only one man as just as large a threat as Captain America and the android Human Torch. Marlow was in Nazi occupied Poland when the time traveler Franklin Richards recruited him for a mission to save the time stream. With Marlow's help, they recruited a team to go into the future to help a now elderly Capt. America in a war being waged with the Red Skull who was now the holder of the yellow Time Gem from a recreated Infinity Gauntlet.

Notes: Marlow was the first Destroyer, and created by Stan Lee in 1941. The only difference between the original and mine is the enhanced strength being greater than that of Capt. America's.

Sample Post: I'll copy/paste the last half of that intro post I'd typed up a page or so back that had Richards drafting Destroyer.

The VI [or VII] Forgotten Heroes [WWII / Marvel Themed]

The Forgotten Heroes [WWII Marvel Themed] ACCEPTING CS's!

In World War II heroes and superhumans hit the scene in America. Captain America and the Invaders fought the Red Skull and Hitler and helped turn the tide of the war in favor of the Allies. As luck would have it, Captain America managed to beat old age after getting frozen in an adventure in the 40's after the war had ended. Steve Rogers would wake up some time after the year 2000 and begin operating as an agent of the United States as he did during his time in the Invaders, and he eventually joined the more modern heroes as an Avenger. In VI[or VII] Forgotten Heroes we'll take characters from the Marvel library with origins during WWII and bring them at the height of their careers from the days of World War II into the present day similar to what happened to Captain America. In this story the Red Skull will come into possession of the Time Gem from the Infinity Gauntlet during WWII. A time traveler by the name of Franklin Richards will put a team together with an elderly Captain America in the present day comprised of Cap's former crew back in the 40's to take the 'Skull down in the present day for control of the Time Gem. The idea is loosely based on the All New X-Men where the original five X-Men were brought to the modern day in a sort of reboot.

Already accepted characters/players include:

Me - The Destroyer
@Sep - The Whizzer
@FantasyChic - Union Jackie
@rocketrobie2 - Blue Bullet [pre-approved]

Right now we're currently still accepting two or three additional players. You can take ANY character from the Marvel library with origins during WWII and bring them at the height of their careers from the days after World War II into the present day. And I'm not opposed to genderbent heroes, as you can see with the inclusion of Union Jackie rather than Union Jack. Here's some info on a few teams from the 40's era as well as a much larger list of Golden Age Marvel characters as well as others retconned into having been active in the 40's like Crimson Commando. I'll accept one completely original WWII era hero, but the CS will have to be superb and it will have to fit with the theme. Links with the info...

And now the story thus far with images linked for visual reference:

The VI Forgotten Heroes

"How did it come to this?" Franklin Richards asked himself, an adult and in the year 1942 and blasting through Galactus just outside of the moon's orbit.

"Galactus shouldn't have reached the Milky Way Galaxy for another sixty-five years or so. I've GOT to find that Time Gem before the timeline goes to complete hell..." he continued to think to himself flying down into the German occupied Poland warzones.

"Val and I should have never tried to reassemble the Infinity Gauntlet in 2040." he continued thinking altering reality around him to appear invisible to those around him, "One of the gems was a counterfeit, but the result of bringing it together with the other Infinity Gems left my sister dead and three of the actual gems missing. The first two were easy enough to find, but the Time Gem apparently fell into the hands of the Red Skull during World War II. I don't even know where to begin, but before the time stream is completely broken I need to see somebody who might have an idea..."

SHIELD Helicarrier, February 2016...

"I know of a few places the Skull might have kept something like the Time Gem back then. If you already went back to the forties why didn't you just ask me then?" asked an older looking Steve Rogers, Agent of SHIELD and formerly Captain America.

"I'm trying not to damage the timeline if at all possible. I think I can repair most of the damage done, possibly save my sister, if I can just get that gem back before the Red Skull taps into..." Franklin states before being interrupted by Rogers.

"You're too late kid. The Skull resurfaced in Europe two months ago and took down most of the Avengers and made me gray headed in an attempt to age me to death. He mentioned following another time traveler to this period, I'm guessing that's you... If you can fix this with that gem, go back in time to the war and get a few of my friends and bring them to the present..." Steve said already strategically planning a course of action.

"My last encounter with the Infinity Gems took a toll on my powers, and fighting Galactus in the past didn't help... but if you think this war is easier to win than WWII..." Franklin began informing before Steve stopped him again.

"You had to fight Galactus in the forties? You better hurry, son. Look for a guy with yellow eyes and a skull on his shirt. He's like the Punisher but with super strength. He'll know of a few heroes who can get the job done, his name's Marlow..." Steve mentioned, talking about his old friend Keene Marlow aka the Destroyer.

Back in the 40's, German occupied Poland...

A red and purple clad man leaped and flung himself on to rooftops and took out enemy soldiers left and right with his fists only having to draw his pistol to fire two shots.

"C'mon you Nazi bastards, you're not even making it tough..." the Destroyer laughed before another half dozen enemy soldiers began to flank him on the rooftop.

"Son of a..." he muttered before a bright flash of light floored everyone around him, the lenses in his mask shielding his eyes from the intense brightness.

"Mister Marlow, I'm a friend of Steve Rogers. I'm also from the future... the Captain said you'd help me put a team together for a mission..." Franklin said touching down on the rooftop.

"Can't you see there's a war going on here, kid?" the Destroyer asked as he tied the hands of a few of the soldiers.

"The Red Skull has just come into possession of otherworldly power, Mister Marlow. The Captain in my future asked for you specifically. He mentioned you were some sort of journalist when you're not in your mask and that you'd know where to find others who can help us. You are one of the only men he trusted during this God forsaken war!" Franklin pleaded.

"I was on my way to meet a few people actually. You double cross me and I'll..." Destroyer began to threaten.

"My sister's life depends on this mission's success. I just need to get you and your friends back to the future..." Franklin said sternly hovering in place once more.

Somewhere behind enemy lines...

***translated from German***

<"There it is again, I feel someone else tapping into this yellow gem's power, altering the time stream in some way..."> the Red Skull proclaimed to Arnim Zola who had fashioned the gem into a belt for the Skull.

<"Perhaps there are other gems just like it, sir? We could follow the trail with one of my energy scanners while we try to unlock the power in your new belt..."> Zola theorized.

<"If there are other gems, you find them Zola. I'll master this power and win the war without Adolf and his silly mustache."> the Red Skull joked.

_______________________

So yeah, we've got two or three spots still available with one of them open to a completely original WWII era hero. I'll try and get the IC up so long as we get a couple more players ASAP. Accepted players go ahead and repost your sheets in the character tab!

Justice League: Futures End

Posted.

@Weird Tales, @Jotunn Draugr, @rocketrobie2 get ready for battle!

@TheUnknowable, @Angel Vicky, @Pacifista, what are Light, Starfire, and Static up to since getting back to camp? I kinda set the first two up with the obvious [Light checking on female survivors, Starfire seeing to Raven], but didn't wanna write situations for everybody all at once but Static is presumably with the rest of the YJ group in their own tent. We're about to have another attack hitting the base once the big guns head back into the city, something like a giant mechanical spider.

Justice League: Futures End

The supernatural ally had no idea what the girl was saying. Batman made the call once more and he told Bluebird to stand down. The guy's wounds healed rather quickly it seemed, and the detective took another mental note. His plan was set in his mind, and with a couple wildcards in the mix it may make things a lot easier. Batman approached the man more directly, but the Bat still looked menacing even in his older age.

"I'm taking in a team tonight to rescue survivors. If you want in, you've gotta prove your worth. We've already taken losses with the Wanderer going missing..." Batman began saying when the other new addition, the alien spoke up.

"Tell me everything you know, then advise me of where I shall be most useful." the new guy who resembled Superman kind of suggested, still with the sense of royalty and nobility in him.

"You're gonna sit this one out and stay back with the Young Justice team." Batman stated turning to Maxus, and now looking back at the intruder and would be ally with a scowl Batman ordered "You'll be coming with us though to see how your abilities work against the enemy. Superman generally has a weakness to anything magic or supernatural, assuming that's where your origins lie. What do they call you..?" he asked Shay.

Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Captain Marvel, St. William, and Bluebird prepared to go back into Metropolis. Batman briefed them all on what intel he had about the surrounding area covered in the grey mass of nanomachines. After discovering the new guy's name earlier, Batman asked him to join in on their meeting as well. He put off an odd vibe when in the presence of St. William, but other than that he generally seemed like he wanted to help. Doctor Light chose to stay behind, which surprised nobody. Starfire still seemed to be concerned for the health of her friend and long time teammate Raven. Batman instructed the concentrated team in another tent...

"There's roughly two hundred thousand survivors in an area just below where the Daily Planet building stood. The conditions and containment aren't that great, however I've confirmed Nightwing is among them. There's a chance we can still save Superboy as well, but those people..." Batman got quiet, "They won't all make it out of the city."

"It's practically evacuating an entire city in a small area but across a lot of road and techno zombies..." the Flash began stating with hope in his words.

"The closest drone generator will be three blocks away, however the area is completely compromised by Brainiac's nanomachines. We need to get past their defenses as quickly as possible and lead the survivors upwards, if we start getting swarmed by techno zombies Capt. Marvel and Flash can try to damage the generator enough to buy us some time while taking down any turrets on the rooftops. If any infected heroes or enemies show up we have to take them down hard and fast as well to avoid any more casualties than we'll already be dealing with. Stay focused. We leave in thirty minutes..." Batman instructed walking off.

Back at the YJ side of camp...

"So, Superman is kinda the reason I'm doing this hero thing too." Superbeast said approaching the new alien hero and gesturing at the pentagon shaved into his chest fur, "I've only got about a year or so experience in the field, you?"

Maxus looked at the furry red shapeshifter, Garfield couldn't read the guy's face. He was obviously aggravated he wasn't go in with Bat's team...
