Titans Beyond

Ultimate Comics just got in the habit of killing off too many characters for shock and awe and changing characters up completely for the hell of it. Colossus and Nightcrawler have both worn thigh high boots in the 616 universe so they were made gay in the Ult. Universe where they never even wore those suits...

I WILL say, I thought the idea of the Thing going all Wonderman-lite was cool when Reed was out of the F4 and slowly becoming the badguy. Wolverine being the universe's Cable was lame. Ult. Cap was just a modernized Cap and worked. The alien Capt. Marvell was cool with the morphing tech suit. Ult. Capt. Britain was also pretty badass.

They put themselves into a corner with that universe and then there was no going back. The New Ultimates didn't take and Miles sales were slowly declining. Ult. Future Foundation couldn't compete with actual well thought out team books [the cast included a neutered Ironman or X-51 I can't remember, Falcon, Invisible Girl, and I can't even remember who else... and the X-Men just had way too many deaths to have a decent team.

<Snipped quote by Member 00492>Superman's age has nothing to do with it. Why you thought that mattered is ridiculous based on what I said.

The CS I written depends on the show existing as is, the GLC (at least one particular member of it), and it not being some random universe that has absolutely nothing to do with the DCAU beyond the name.

Also Alan Scott sucks balls. He is weak against wood. He could be beaten by a random mugger if he used a stick.

@Burning Kitty

The recent attempt at a modern Alan Scott that was gay... he sucked balls. Making a superhero just as prone to getting beat with a wooden bat as anybody else was a clever weakness. It was a huge plot hole though with Alan using his power to pass through walls that would often have been made of wood.

Just for giggles, what exactly would you have done had I not selected a handful of characters to alter myself for mentors? What if everything was open for reinterpretation and we got a new GL, a new Superman, etc? I only assumed an older Superman would effect a Galatea CS because of her connection to Supergirl. The last person I'd think would effect her CS would be John Stewart.

I'm not basing this thing on any one continuity, and much like my other games I'll just take bits from here and there to make the most entertaining RP possible. The only cannons off limits are Superman, Green Lantern, and Batman. If you wanna make your own Wonder Woman or Supergirl have at it. A new Flash? That could be cool too. Use whatever cannon you'd like, it's only unacceptable if I say it's unacceptable. Just don't make any characters tied to huge events in the comics like Blackest Night or Zero Hour and we should be okay.

@Burning Kitty ^^^ That's from the opening post. Gotta read past the opening line and the pictures. The concept of a giant Justice League and episodic like missions is the only thing I'm taking from the cartoon. It's not based on any one continuity or alternate Earth. Galatea was basically a clone of Supergirl who mirrored the look of Powergirl. That could still work since Earth 2 isn't a thing with Alan Scott running around on the League. I thought I mentioned in another post in the thread the origin of the JL and the reason for making the roster 'Unlimited' would be different. Is making Superman older really gonna hamper a Galatea CS?

EDIT: John Stewart wasn't used because I don't want the GLC or any of the rainbow colored Lanterns floating around in space. To simplify the universe I used the GL that doesn't rely on the GLC for a backstory.

@Thecrash20 So long as you don't have Jason Todd in your ear in the RP we're good. I love the Phil Cho Earth 27 artwork too.

Lots of good sheets so far guys. Still waiting to see if a few of yours finish your WIPs.

Superman - He's the first superhero. The reason it's even called a super-hero. His career seemingly began in the 1970's, however reports indicate he may have been active as far back as WWII. Same basic powers of Superman. He makes everybody in the room wanna stand a little bit taller. A big blue boyscout to this day, he has a line he'll never cross and ALWAYS finds another way. He's pretty much the big gun of the metahuman/alien archetypes. He's only been Clark Kent the last twenty years or so of his life on Earth. He obviously ages slower in the universe than past incarnations.

Batman (mask off) - Same billionaire playboy philanthropist, his career just began in the late 90's and has lasted nearly two decades. He is to the gadgeteers and standard human heroes what Superman is to metas and aliens. The big gun. Basically picture Ben Afleck's Batman here just with more gray hair.

Green Lantern - Alan Scott is the resident GL, and the ONLY GL in this universe. I'm staying away from the GLC and all the rainbow brigade Corps. His career stretches over the last decade or so and a few years back he absorbed the energies of his magic ring internalizing his power. He's the big gun of the supernatural/magic archetypes. He's also based in Gotham and mostly patrols during the day when Batman isn't being Batman.

These three will be the remaining founders of the original Justice League. The other two members of the team will have been killed in action hence the massive recruitment drive. It would take a handful of novice heroes to replace even one of the big guns. And Batman is looking closer and closer to retirement shape. I'll wait until the OOC is up and the IC is being developed before deciding who the final two members of the team would have been. The short list is Vixen, Black Canary, Capt. Marvel, Firestorm, Bumblebee, Tomorrow Woman, and Robot Man.

If you'd be willing to cut the powers down for now, if this RP lasts awhile and we have enough missions his character evolution could be gaining some of the abilities later on. He'd still need to be aged up to 20-21 though. I'd make creating stuff, shock waves, and healing people come later.

You can keep all of the abilities you had before. This was my compromise. Losing one ability and keeping everything else as well as adding a sword into the mix doesn't really cut his offensive repertoire down at all. You also didn't age him up.

The telekinetic like ability having sub powers is the main thing that makes him OP. By definition it's three powers in one and then you still have more. I don't want people pushing the line of the power limits from the get-go, however if you'd allow for some of the power to come later it wouldn't be so bad. Creating something out of nothing and healing people are things of Godly nature, those are big ones which is why I suggested they come later. Shock waves I included in the list because he can already move stuff with his mind and enhance his striking power. GL's were taken off the table because they're too powerful, then you basically made somebody with some form of every GL ability plus additional powers. I think the compromise I suggested is fair.

Also, reading emotions and emotional manipulation in general seemed to be @Experiment 249's bag. However sensing the supernatural and magical energy signatures is acceptable.

I'll have short write ups for the three big guns sometime tonight. I've got a couple RP's I'm working on posts for though so it might get posted kinda late depending how long each bit of info takes.

Glad you liked the character. If you're open to long term storyline ideas as well, I have a few in mind that I could PM you.

@WXer

Yeah man send 'em on over.

@FiroIV Think I mentioned in the opening both were fair game for reinterpretation.

@Member 00492
What is your Batman like, is he going to be like the animated series or a more Edgy continuity? I'd like my sample post be their first introduction and I don't want to clash with your version.

@Pathfinder

Batman will basically be gray haired, visually the oldest looking of the three big gun mentors, yet still healthy in his mid 40's. He's the most experienced hero next to Superman himself who appears around the same age but is in fact about twice as old. GL will be an updated version of Alan Scott to simplify things and get away from the convoluted mess that the GLC has become.

As far as personality, he's alone. He's had a rough career and recently Alfred has passed away. He still intense though.
