WEIRDER THINGS

Metropolis / United States:
May 17th, 2019 - 03:46 PM | Metro Tower - Midtown

Comet was still getting used to how far the world had come since he originally left back in World War II. It seemed like a lot at first, but then he realized how much more advanced some of the alien species he'd interacted with still were in comparison. Robotman and Wonder Woman were both presently at the Tower, along with Comet, and a couple reserves were also hanging around using the League's resources. It was just a normal day. That was until Comet thought he saw something familiar...?! What appeared in front of him before vanishing into the wall looked like the Weird. Black and red attire, strange head piece, with the one larger eye. 

"What the..?" Comet thought, however the neural link to his friends in the Tower caused everyone in the building to have goosebumps. 

From down the hallway Blake could hear him coming. The metal in his body grinding and working it's way forward... oddly enough in jeans and a t-shirt, with a lit cigar in his metal mouth. Cliff Steele, former hero of Midway City turned founding member of the Justice League. He called himself Robotman because he was never very original. The big Hollywood movie based on him called the hero Ultronic and made his body silver and gave him his own superhero symbol. Cliff was fine with jeans and a t-shirt. Generally if he didn't like somebody he'd tell them to bite his shiny metal ass. The machine man was just as human as anyone and loved out drinking any and everyone. This was also a feat capable of Cliff before he was given the stomach of a robot. His eyes would be red with aggravation if not for them already being red by design. He creaked and cranked towards the brown haired young-ish looking hero before the newer JLU recruit began to apologize.  

"Cliff! I'm sorry if the link to our brains...." Comet began to say before he was interrupted. 

"Sometimes I wish my brain was robotic so I wouldn't have to deal with you damn telepaths. What spooked ya kid?" Robotman asked. 

"Kid? In another decade I'll be pushing a hundred, tin man." Comet thought to himself, or so he thought...

"What's that about pushing a hundred?" Robotman asked out loud. 

Adam Blake's powers were out of control. Could the Weird have returned? Or is it after all this time Blake's finally having a mental breakdown? He closed his eyes and ran one of his hands through his hair. After a few breaths he opened his eyes and there it was. Sort of. In the reflection coming off of Robotman's face the Weird showed up again. Blake looked over his shoulder and there was nothing there. The heroes walked up on a water fountain and the red clad hero stopped for a sip. A cosmic entity was toying with him. Comet believed the Weird had perished in space during events that happened before Comet came back to Earth. Why was he back now? Or was the man really just losing his mind?

"I think I need to go blow off some steam. Is there anybody in the War Room?" Comet asked the founder. 

"One or two of the reserves I think are practicing as many one-liners as they are combat techniques. They should be done soon..." Robotman said before finally breaking away to go towards the front exit. 

Blake had to walk to the back of the first floor and enter the lower levels of the HQ through a special elevator. The bottom floor was the level with the war room. A colossal domed area roughly the size of two football fields with an operating station as well as a viewing room and hallway leading around one side from the elevator entrance. The room was like something out of a science fiction film and could replicate any scenario. Holo-droids could take the form of any enemy in the Justice Leagues files, or any uploaded by the heroes newer to the League. Holograms made their 'skin' to appear like anything, as well as the expendable civilians in scenarios. It's just cheaper and they don't have to replace as many holo-droids. The elevator ride seemed long, however it was just because the War Room itself was roughly one mile below ground. Comet was getting a little anxious and noticed how shiny the floor in the elevator was, and then he noticed it again. The large left eye of the Weird seemed like it was following him. Or was it just in his head? A trick he'd used many times on enemies, casting illusions to make them feel all sorts of emotions, was now backfiring on him? Or was it? Hopefully some time unleashing his power would do him some good.

@The Spectre I love the character, so if she's going to be reforming sorta like they did with Killer Frost in the comics, I'd be all for it. 

@DocTachyon The only thing I'd say about the CS is he needs to be more ingrained in the DCU and not JUST be affiliated with Wildstorm characters and concepts. I like what you've got with Queen Bee and adopting Batman's MO, but the story arcs are more geared towards Wildstorm. It's 4 am though where I'm at, but if any of the other GM's have any concerns we'll get back to ya. 

Things to work on: Who does he know in the League, who does he like working with with? Take a couple 3rd and 4th string DCU villains and call them his. And is Sun King supposed to be Apollo? 

Also, with the tags, I think all you need to do is switch them around at the end. It should be [/hider first, THEN [/center Nevermind, the placement is fine but I think you still have to title the hider. Like [hider=Midnighter] if you wanna make the tag look like this:

See?

@Ruby I'm working on a scene right now with Comet walking around in the Metro Tower if you want Supergirl to stop by? You gonna have her affiliated with the Titans or with the JLU? 

- Ω

*cough*

If he was somebody I could use for Titans or JLU I'd see keep working on the sheet, but right now I think we've got enough anti-heroes. If you've got anybody else in mind for somebody that could be in one of the teams I'd love to see you try something else.

@Omega Man Fair enough, I actually was mulling over replacing him, but I wanted to see what the work vs reward on getting him up and running would be.

Anyway, seeing as we have no Starfire or equivalent, I was going to offer up a Tameranean as a full-time Titans member.@Dead Cruiser

Sounds good to me!

@DocTachyon If you wanted to give him tech one of the later Vigilantes would make more sense. The classic version was always just a charismatic marksman and a bit of a grease monkey. He was just barely considered a hero. Making the cowboy V more than that is kind of a disservice to the character.

@Omega Man Can I get any feedback on Anarky? Been trying to discuss the matter with you for a while now.@Dead Cruiser

Right now I think all three heroes in Gotham could be considered anti-heroes, and the CS doesn't really jump out at me in the same way some of the others have. Super-soldier'ed Anarky doesn't seem fleshed out enough and even in the sheet it says hes at best considered 'a low level gang leader'. Didn't mention anything about weapons, how he was in such good shape, supporting cast, etc. 

If he was somebody I could use for Titans or JLU I'd see keep working on the sheet, but right now I think we've got enough anti-heroes. If you've got anybody else in mind for somebody that could be in one of the teams I'd love to see you try something else.

And anyway, everybody knows Superman isn't the most powerful character in comics...

But yes, everyone chill out in case there are others who want to submit CS's. Right now I'd be particularly interested in more traditional superheroes and anyone wanting to be an active member of the JLU or Titans teams.

@Simple Unicycle Frees you up for some JL action... I'm not complaining. LOL

- Ω

If it's a ruthless werewolf borderline villain it likely won't make the cut. There have been a few were-people in JL though. Tasmanian Devil, Pantha I think had a feral form, Wildcat had a long lost son that could turn into a werepanther, etc. Just gotta be more superheroic.
