Omega Man

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

@Lord Wraith Here's that old 'Tiger CS, gonna try and relax later and put something down for that Darkhawk idea. Dealing with some heavy stuff irl right now but I need an RP to help take my mind off of things. The android Human Torch is another character I'd be interested in reimagining... if you didn't already have somebody applying with Angel I'd resubmit my old cosmic Archangel idea.

Bronze Tiger🐅

^{"Is that all you've got?"}

^{Benjamin 'Ben' Turner ♦ May 1st, 1992 ( 25 ) ♦ Straight Male ♦ Neutral Good}

🐅 C O N C E P T A B S T R A C T:

This take on DC's Bronze Tiger is changed up in a way to integrate him into the cast of Black Panther and the nation of Wakanda to add a little more flavor to the whole concept. His new origin involves Prince T'Challa being crippled, Shuri (sister of the mainstream Black Panther) taking over as the Black Panther as she's done recently in the comics, and 'Tiger trying to find his place in a world with every type of hero and villain running around. Bronze Tiger's time in the Suicide Squad will be left out however his being a brainwashed instrument of the League of Assassins will have recently happened. As well as going at it in hand to hand with Batman and besting him.

🐅 Plots and Story Arcs:

- 50 Shades of Bronze:

The opening arc will deal with recently being brainwashed by the League of Assassins and returning back to Wakanda. Turner will suffer from slight PTSD, and it will show in the field protecting the city as well as interacting with Shuri (the new/current Black Panther). They'll both deal with enemies such as Barricade and Carnivore. Ben's fifty shades of messed up. Things get even stranger when Baron Macabre rolls into town raising the dead.

- Way of the Fists:

After Shuri insists she can protect Wakanda on her own, Ben travels to China to meet an old friend when he's caught up in a fight with a man who can become seven individual versions of himself. The man known as Seven Deadly Brothers was once a hero in the late 90's and early 00's in the Chinese superteam the Great Ten. He was now washed up and resentful of modern heroes. After the Chinese superhuman puts lives at risk trying to stop a rampaging Godzilla like creature in Hong Kong, Ben challenges him to one on one combat. The man only knows seven forms of martial arts and Ben's one of the best fighters in the world.

- League of His Own:

After the adventure in China Ben Turner lands back in America. After visiting Louisiana during Mardi Gras season, he settles down in St. Roch. Famous for being the last place Hawkman settled down, it's now infamous for some of the his enemies who survived since the winged hero's demise years earlier. How will the Bronze Tiger contend with Lion-Mane, Bloque, and Hummingbird? And who else will come to town to give the hero an assist?

🐅 N O T E S:

* Ben has roughly 4-5 years experience since coming to Wakanda. He was under the control of the League of Assassins for the last seven months and bested Batman twice before the caped crusader helped Ben break free of the League's mind controlling drug.

* Ben studied karate, kung-fu, Greco-Roman wrestling, Krav Maga, and kickboxing between the age of nine to twenty before moving to Wakanda. Since being trained by Prince T'Challa's father, King T'Chaka, Ben has studied in three forms of Wakandan martial arts including the Panther and Ape styles as well as the Tiger. During his time under the control of the League of Assassins he studied at an alarming rate at least another half dozen fighting styles.

* When deciding on a code-name for himself Ben considered White Tiger, Red Lion, Coal Tiger, and the Puma.

* The scar across his face came from the day he stepped in to save the life of Prince T'Challa. After the enemies were taken down, Shuri mistook Ben for another enemy and slashed him with a blade before he disarmed her.

* His suit is made of vibranium mesh and the retractable claws in the fingers are solid vibranium.

* Ben went to college in America for medical studies from the age of 17-20 before moving to Wakanda.

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

I think I tried applying with the Bronze Tiger concept the last time and it didn't make the cut because of other's plans for stuff in Wakanda, so I'm thinking today when I get in from work I'll take a stab at the Thanagarian Darkhawk idea... @Lord Wraith

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

What would you say to a Darkhawk with ties to Hawkman lore? Or maybe a Bronze Tiger connected to the Black Panther?

Absolute Comics - Season Two: The Monster Within

I might try to work something up for this, as I've never been in a singular universe RP. Dunno what I'll reimagine for a character though.

Welcome to Mega City [original universe w/superhumans...]

@rocketrobie2@DarkRecon Everybody involved stopped posting so it's pretty much DEAD dead. I'm developing something else loosely tied to an existing comic universe, likely DC themed. Thanks for the interest though all the same!

Welcome to Mega City [original universe w/superhumans...]

Closing it I just posted?! LOL

It's taken me some time to get a post in and I apologize. Had some real life shit come up that's kept me away from getting something typed up on my laptop. I didn't want to try and make a post from my phone with the quality some of you are posting in your posts. I had planned on letting somebody else get another post in before making a separate post with Arrowcaster to move things forward for some of the group.

Welcome to Mega City [original universe w/superhumans...]

TITAN

_{Interacting with @baraquiel}

Judah watched as the gypsy-like girl with a hypnotic pink stare rushed the two robot gorillas. After moves that made tv superheroes look completely fake, the heroine flipped and landed behind the pair of robots before waving at Judah. As she dodged and giggled the hero who wished to be called Titan was taken back by her grace. This was the type of girl his mother would’ve liked. It didn’t take her pink hypnotic stare to melt his heart, Judah already knew he’d do anything for this girl.

“I can’t let you do this all day!” Titan shouted as he ran in and blasted one of the robots with his gauntlet while the big blue construct hand opened up and provided the young girl with another surface to leap on.

The girl didn’t stop smiling perched on the construct hand. The boy was trying to be the tough guy and defend her.

“Your powers don’t work on robots, you wanna see if a dropkick would knock these things off balance? I don’t wanna let Big Blue do all of the work for us…” Judah asked blocking one of the robot’s melee attacks with an energy shield.

Welcome to Mega City [original universe w/superhumans...]

Catching up on reading the IC. Gonna get @baraquiel's character and mine out of the War Room and free it up for anyone who may want to give some robot gorillas a go. I will likely go ahead and give everyone the first glimpse of the future arc and who's behind all of the murders and missing superhumans as well as set up an enemy for those looking for an opening to do something.

-Ω

Welcome to Mega City [original universe w/superhumans...]

I'm gonna work on a post a little bit later today to get this thing moving forward. However, with the 4th of July around the corner my schedule at work is different this week. Rather than working long shifts Tues-Fri, I'm working even longer shifts Mon-Wed this week so that I'll get a 5 day weekend. If something happens and I don't get a post up this evening I'll at least PM @Shard and let him know what I had planned on doing as far as moving us all forward. I'll also give a few details about how the glimpses of the future will need to go down and what we can and can't have in them.

Welcome to Mega City [original universe w/superhumans...]

"Over the last six years, I've watched Engine City merge with Chase Chemical, and surrounding metropolitan neighbors to form Mega City in the southeastern United States. Chase Chemical is the largest privately owned chemical plant and lab facilities in the world with over one hundred and twenty thousand employees including it's own police forces and fire houses. The region was officially named 'Mega City' once the population hit the ten million mark. To think the nation's capital is less than five hours away and only home to a little more than six hundred and seventy thousand people. For all these people, at least two percent of the population is superhuman. I tried going the powerless vigilante route for a few years, but I can't compete with people who can knock over skyscrapers or run across water. Lately though... I've noticed a few dead superhumans showing up in my neighborhood as well as a staggering amount of missing persons reports. It's happening in the corner of Mega City called the Highlands that are up in the Appalachian Mountains. The more recent victims were twenty years old or younger.... I've come out of retirement to try and find out who's killing these kids. The only way I know how to protect them is to gather them. Train them. And maybe together we can figure out who's trying to kill others like them.

My name is John Blake, and I'm just a guy with a bow. For awhile the papers called me... Arrowcaster."

__________________

When Arrowcaster first began to think about retiring from superheroics his first thought was to settle down and start a family. He always wanted a couple of kids. The on-again off-again romance with an old flame from high school never blossomed, likely due to Blake leading a double life and fighting crime when not working a day job. Dating in his later years never brought him face to face with a soul mate, and after years alone he became a little disconnected from society. He also loathed social media and its grip on the younger generations. Up until a few weeks ago, it had been years since Blake had put on his costume. It felt way too tight in areas, the old school hero didn’t weigh the same as he once did. When the elder hero realized there was a possible connection to all the missing persons reports in Highland and the recent string of murders he knew he had to take action. And he knew he couldn’t do it alone.

2:07 pm, EST…

The green clad bowman had repurposed the HQ of an old group of adversaries called the Techno-Sapiens for the group of young superhumans. There was plenty of room, and several of the older recruits chose to move into the HQ more permanently. Others however were still young enough to be in school and some even lived with their parents. This group was a bit more diverse than the brainwashed goons who once flooded the halls. Several of the recruits were still getting settled in and wandering around here and there.

Jacob Marlowe was one of those recruits and had more in common with the elder Arrowcaster than either of them realized. Alone in the world after his mother’s passing months earlier, Jacob also felt disconnected from the rest of the world. It was also painfully obvious he wasn’t superhuman like everyone else in the group. His powers came from the strange gauntlet that seemed to be fusing with the young man’s arm. “Like something out of a comic book…” Jacob thought while still in awe at the surreal situation he had got himself into. It had been several days since Blake gathered the members of this motley crew, everyone just checked in when they could and trained when they had time. Arrowcaster himself had even started to see the new HQ more like it was his home.

Jacob went into the kitchen to grab a drink when the elder hero came rushing into the dining area looking for volunteers. One of the recruits was in the middle of eating a sandwich and Jacob stepped into view as well.

“I need a couple recruits to test out the new training droids in the War Room… you two game?” Arrowcaster asked with some excitement in his grizzled voice.

2:19 pm, EST…

“I’ll save the scenery and holographics for later…. I finally reworked a couple… of THESE!!” Blake said with his voice getting louder. He pulled a sheet off of what looked like robotic gorillas.

“Anybody recognize these apes? They made up at least half the Techno Sapiens army. They’re pretty durable and I figure we can keep reworking them as we go. I’ve got at least three dozen of them stored a few levels below us along with some other scrap parts and tech I didn’t have a place for…” Arrowcaster continued.

Moments later Jacob made a fist with his gauntlet and concentrated to make the construct robotic arm he’d named ‘Big Blue’. He looked at the other recruit before the pair of robot simians went into attack mode and the two would-be-heroes got their game faces on.

“I really need to get these kids some better duds… they can’t fight crime in cheap t-shirts….” Arrowcaster thought looking on from the control room to the side of the larger War Room.
