Or, I can't remember from the sheet but if that's the route went just have Lois be already older. Or some McBluffin that Kryptonians mature faster when exposed to element plot.
On an unrelated note I'd like to announce my interest in another character before posting a sheet:
Superman Hyperion.
Holy hell. That's like the first character I thought of. lol. Wraith can attest to that. Asked him bout a connection.
@Taka I will say, if you're having trouble with a second character, maybe immediately jumping into a second character isn't the best idea. I have several idea's for a second character (At this point, i think Red Tornado is probably going to be my second, most likely because i don't think anyone else has any idea's for her) but I think it's best to get a few posts in before actually seriously attempting to take on a second. I find that, after a number of posts and once you have the idea of how the character thinks, feels and reacts, eventually, interactions just write themselves.
I just think you'll have an easier time of it by getting the ball rolling on one, then using that inertia to get the second one going, rather than trying to launch 2 at the same time. Who knows, in getting Ghost Rider moving, you may find a story that actually fits a lot better.
Its not that I can't write for two characters. I have before. Its that I couldn't create logical pathways for the ideas I wanted with Black Panther. Trying to create stories that fit the mold like Static Shock, Luke Cage, and to an extent the X-Men is a feat smarter than I. Lol. Before presenting something lackluster, I chose to just bow out of the character for someone else to give it a run. With Winter Soldier, I have ideas and I know how I want to do them. I think I have better basis than with T'Challa. I will be taking my time with Winter Soldier before I publish him. Definitely won't be this weekend.
No apologies necessary, I’ve done the same before! Feel free to submit another application for Winter Soldier when you’ve got a solid foundation for it.
@Bounce@Half Pint My apologies but, I think I'm going to drop Black Panther. I just realize that I don't have anything long term to present for him. I had ideas but, I can't fully flesh them out and I'm not comfortable attempting to run T'Challa without putting my best foot forward. Though I have spoken to Hound about making a sheet for the Winter Soldier. Bucky is my favorite character in comics period and I have so many ideas that I can present for him. He's been a character I've always wanted to play for one of these games. I'd feel comfortable playing Bucky and can bring my A game.
Yeah, purple is a bit hard to read, but I'm honestly used to it. Besides that I liked your first post @Taka and the contract between Ralph and Robbie with the later prioritizing others over revenge. Shows his inner strength and why he's the one behind the wheel.
Thank you. I hope conveyed that Ralph is definitely struggling. He has majority control over them as the rider but Robbie is the heart. Im excited to eventually show the other riders and what their bonds look like.
"You ask this after we drove across country, ese?"
The sound of the 1969 Charger roared throughout the streets of Brooklyn, sheer power from the engine turning quite a few heads. A classic like the 1969 Charger was rare, and Robbie would normally soak in the attention, playing up for the crowd. His car was one of the crowning achievements and yet for once he wasn't focused on the people around him, his mind occupied with sheer anxiety.
"Try breathing. Inhala. Exhala."
"Ralph, I know how to breath. I like you Ralph but, I wish you weren't in my head all the time."
The Charger pulled into a parking lot connected to Brooklyn Bridge Park, its namesake sitting stunningly within the water, overlooking the park for all to stand at awe at. Robbie had never seen it before, a sight that drew his awe despite the reasoning for why he was here. He only wished he could be visiting under better terms, but for now he needed to focus on the situation at hand. Parking and stepping out of the Charger, he could hear Ralph rambling in his head, having to tone out the man to even hear his own thoughts. Every step into the park was heavy, the laughter of children playing, and adults talking echoed through his ears before his eyes finally connected with those of the man who brought him here....Eli Morrow.
"ELI!", Ralph screamed from inside Robbie's head, turning the boy's black, the temperature of his body beginning to rise, taking every bit of Robbie's control to keep Ralph from turning them into the Rider.
"Stop, Ralph. There are kids here."
Eli's gave his nephew a grin that exuded malice, his own eyes giving way the same blackness that permeated Robbie's own eyes.
"Oh little Roberto, its so nice that you came."
"Tío, why?" Robbie's voice broke as he asked, as he loved Eli as a kid, having a bond that seemed so easily broken by his uncle, but now he could see so malevolent behind those eyes, and feel what he felt in himself when he first became a Rider.
"Roberto, I needed to see you. I heard so much about the rider in Los Angelos but, you know what really caught my eye? The charger. A one of a kind. Did you know that I'm the one who convinced your father to add those rims? Oh my brother was so stupid."
"What do you mean 'was'? What is going on?"
"Oh my poor little Robbie, you missing your parents? My my where is Gabe? Are his legs still garbage?" Eli let out a maniacal laugh as he spoke about Gabe.
Robbie's face would scrunch up into a scowl and his words would burst from his lips in rage, "DON'T MENTION HIS NAME, BASTARD!"
"Or what? You'll punish me for my sins?"
"How do you know abou--"
"Because boy, I am like you. You can tell. And that's why I called you here. I wanted to see just how badly you wanted to see me. How badly you wanted the answers that you would travel all this way and leave your baby brother behind. See my little nephew, I'm going to do terrible things and I want you to know it was me. I want every waking moment to be agony for you because you'll know that you could've stopped me."
Robbie and Ralph both were in awe of everything that Eli spoke upon, and yet they knew he was right. With Eli being a rider, if he was not lying, would mean a fight that would endanger everyone in the general area. Two riders locking in combat would spell doom for the general vicinity, and Robbie could not take that chance no matter how much Ralph wanted to tear Eli apart. Every muscle tense, blood vessels ready to burst, and steam pouring from the pores on his face.
Screams erupted from the civilians within the park, pointing and gasping at the sight lurching from the East River, fire trolls ascending from the water. In a matter of moments fire were raging across the borough, the trolls attacking anything and everything in sight.
"Well champ. Aren't you gonna help these people?"
"Robbie, we punish Eli NOW!"
"Please Ralph. We do this to protect people and right now people need our help. You're a hero, remember?"
Robbie gave a glance to Eli, his twisted smile making his stomach churn, but now was not the time. They'd find him again, his sin acting as a beacon, and crimes that will weight heavy on both souls of the rider. He hated it despite knowing that right now saving people from the fire trolls was the immediate danger and he needed Ralph to feel the same way.
"Let's ride."
Robbie turned from Eli, dashing straight for the charger, his body beginning under go the process of becoming a rider. The skin on Robbie's face began to melt away, giving way to the skeleton underneath, flames bursting forth, and his mouth opened wide to let a demonic roar that filled the park. The moment he touched the charger, flames engulfed it from bumper to bumper, the wheels covered in flames and as he jumped into the rev the engine, flames erupted from the engine.
He pulled from the lot, the engine screaming, racing through the street to the first fire troll he could see. The troll was attempting to burn a building filled with people, and Robbie acted quickly. The Hell Charger drifted around the debris, chains covered in hellfire shooting forth from the vehicle and wrapping around the troll's head. Revving the engine, he used the supernatural horsepower to give the needed force to pull the creature to ground, slamming its head and crackling the earth underneath. The hellfire continued to burn upon the troll, giving the beast a level of discomfort and pain but, it did not completely stop its rampage. The troll would now be facing punishment at hands of the Ghost Rider.

A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ GHOST RIDER TRANSFORMATION Thanks to Ralph Dibney possessing Robbie, he is able to become a Ghost Rider, a being dedicated to bringing justice to evil. With this transformation, Robbie's body is enhanced to superhuman levels. Most notably is his regeneration as a Rider can heal from nearly anything in a matter of moments, thus requiring something holy to harm them or hitting hard enough to bypass the healing and incapacitate the user. Riders can generate chains from any part of their body, Robbie normally choosing his arms, infinitely and can extend those chains as far as they want. Lastly the Ghost Rider is self-sustaining, needing no air, food, or rest. ◼ HELLFIRE Riders can harness, generate, and control the ethereal flames of Hellfire. They can go so far as causing the weather to rain Hellfire and channel it through their weapons, specifically the chains. ◼ VEHICLE POSSESSION Riders can possess any vehicle, turning it into a fiery vehicle, giving the rider its name. Robbie most notably uses his 1969 Charger becoming known as the Hell-Charger. The Hell-Charger has many abilities including channeling hellfire, create hellfire portals for teleportation, become intangible, communicate with the deceased, repair itself and Robbie, and ride upon any surface as well as it rides upon concrete. ◼ PENANCE STARE The Rider's ability to bring penance upon others is their most legendary power. This affects the target on a mental, physical, and spiritual level, completely incapacitating those affected. All the pain and suffering they've caused will be reflected back and the rider can focus the on certain sins committed. This ability is commonly used as a stare where the rider must be able to see the eyes of those they target with the stare. -
T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ 1969 Dodge Charger The Charger is a beast of a machine even when not possessed by the rider. Robbie keeps it tuned up and ready to race at all times. A gift left to him from his father and Robbie cherishes it. The trunk holds tons of equipment for Robbie to use when he's Ghost Rider. -

Even with limited supplies, he can fix nearly any vehicle he gets his hands on. Besides the Rider, this might be the truly supernatural ability gifted to Robbie. ◼ INTUITIVE Robbie has a great mind for using the Rider powers. It it said that hosts of the Rider are only ever limited by their own mind but, Robbie seems to have no issue as he's always coming up with and finding out new abilities that spirit can bestow. He's not the smartest but, he's damn good at punishing evil. -

Many know the name of the Elongated Man aka Ralph Dibney, a hero that fought to stop many a criminals, and saving many lives within and outside of Opal City. A popular hero during his time, Ralph worked with many heroes during his time until his death at the hands of Eli Morrow. It was noted as the death of a true hero, but no one knew the truth; Ralph Dibney was angry and looking for revenge after the violent death of Sue Dibney at Eli's hands. Ralph's death would lead his spirit into the hands of Neron the Fallen Angel/Demon Lord and he noticed the strength of Ralph's soul. They would make a deal, Neron with ulterior motives, that Ralph would find Eli Morrow, and Neron would release Sue Dibney from her eternal torment if Eli's evil soul was brought to him. The Fallen Angel would send his soul exactly where it was needed most, to a boy named Robbie Reyes.
On the edge of dying after being shot, Robbie would be possessed by the soul of Ralph Dibney. The boy's face would melt till it was but a flaming skeleton, becoming one of the most dangerous beings on the planet, the Ghost Rider. Vengeance would be swift upon the thugs that attempted to take Robbie's life, and he would freak out after the event, Ralph speaking to him to explain their predicament. At first, Robbie was hesitant to accept this "partnership" as with his parents gone, he was the only one to take of his little brother Gabe but, the moment Ralph mentioned Eli Morrow then Robbie agreed to help as Morrow was his uncle and a suspect in the disappearance of Juliana and Alberto Reyes.
Three months have passed since Robbie took on the responsibility of a Ghost Rider. Ralph and Robbie have felt the calling to punish the wicked, only taking their ire out on those truly worth it, becoming a symbol of heroism and horror to the masses. Amateur race car driver by day, Ghost Rider by night, Robbie will find Eli Morrow and the answers he seeks.

I want to apply as Ghost Rider because I like Robbie Reyes. I think Robbie is honestly the best Ghost Rider and he's less edgy than the first rider, Johnny Blaze. Marvel doesn't Robbie his own runs much, usually having his stories intertwine with an Avenger story or another hero. While I do want to be open to meet ups, I do intend on Robbie being able to have his own story. Johnny Blaze, and the other riders will appear in his story and many other Ghost Rider concepts. Robbie has a unique standpoint as being a boy with a good heart but, also being the rider who does kill those that it punishes. It puts in question what it means to be a hero and how Robbie deals with that.
I took inspiration from Agents of SHIELD in keeping Eli Morrow separate from Robbie, and he'll play a big role in the story. I'll have various villains, and people in mind for Robbie to interact with. I hope have him have adventures with the paranormal characters like Deadman, Darcula, Lilith, and so many more. Explore how hell and heaven works now with the universes merged like how Mephisto wouldn't be the only "King" of hell. All in All, I just want to have fun writing for my favorite Ghost Rider and have him drive up building.
Yes. I did use Ralph Dibney as the spirit that possesses Robbie. It was Eli Morrow in the comics but DC has honestly gave not a care in the world for Ralph but he is one of the few characters to stayed dead...pre 52. Then he was tortured in New 52. I figured id keep him dead but use him. Delve into the revenge he never got over Sue. I don't plan for it to be all doom and gloom and sadness. In my mind, this is a story that will end happier for Ralph and Sue than it starts.

A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ MUTANT PHYSIOLOGY Being a mutant, Scott was gifted with the X-gene upon his birth and like his younger brothers, his body is naturally stronger than your average human. Scott, and his brothers, are a receptacle for energy from another dimension, known as the Punch Dimension, their bodies constantly drawing in that energy and empowering them. Drawing in this energy is done subconsciously, and Scott's body is pushed to the peak of human limitations in almost every aspect. ◼ OPTIC BLAST All three Summers' brothers have the ability to absorb and project the inter-dimensional energy of the Punch Dimension, this energy does not abide by the laws put forth by Einstein and Newton, and is practically infinite. Each brother has a unique mutation involving the Punch Dimension, Alex is able to absorb and convert the energy into plasma, and Gabriel is able to absorb and project any energy, while Scott's eyes have become apertures to release the concussive energy as beams. This is a weakness due to a traumatic brain injury when he was a child, giving Scott the inability to control his powers from any other part of his body like his brothers. His optic blasts are ruby in color, and produce no heat. Over the years, he has learned to gain control over his optic blasts in many ways such as controlling the trajectory in midair, causing the beams to drill through targets, and even allowing it to cut through materials. Lastly Scott is protected from the energy that he emits due to have a psionic shield around his body, making it so that just closing his eyes is enough to halt the release of energy. ◼ SPATIAL AWARENESS Scott has an uncanny sense of trigonometry, able to perceive objects in his surrounding, and the angles between them. With a glance, he can mathematically breakdown the geometry equations in seconds, this including the geometry of objects. This uncanny sense helps Cyclops demonstrate the ability to ricochet and/or reflect his optic blasts. He once ricocheted his optic blast ten times to hit several targets. -
T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ RUBY QUARTZ GLASSES/VISOR Ever since he was a kid, Scott has had to wear glasses made out of ruby quartz. The ruby is attuned to the energies of the Punch Dimension, halting any release of energy from his eyes. This extends to the hard polymer visor that, with the press of a button, controls the width of his beams for wide shots, or shrink his beams for precision blasts. As a back up, Scott has ruby contacts but, they notably irritate his eyes and make him incapable of using his powers. ◼ X-Men Suit Scott keeps his suit he wore as an X-Men, creating superficially by Charles Xavier as the first X-Suit. The suit is a kevlar weave, and protects him from a multitude of things, including impacts, fire, and electrical shocks. ◼ D.A.N.G.E.R Phone The D.A.N.G.E.R. is basically a mini-computer in Scott's hands, controlled by the AI known as D.A.N.G.E.R that Hank Mccoy created for the School of the Gifted. It serves mini functions and still has the X-Men brand recognition despite Scott changing the name. Thanks to the AI, the phone holds many functions beyond just being a cellular device. -

He can hold his own with the best of them. ◼ MULTILINGUAL Due to Charles Xavier using telepathy, Scott knows several languages including Spanish, Mandarin, French, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, and Portuguese. ◼ LEADERSHIP From leading the X-Men for over a decade, Scott has become an exceptional leader. He a vast understanding of how situations will develop, and what best way to use his teams' abilities, this includes himself. A tactician at heart, he can plan out and plan for nearly any situation, his mind treating these instances as a ever-revolving puzzle to solve. ◼ TELEPATHIC RESISTANCE After many years training under Charles Xavier, Scott has a strong resistance to telepathy. He can fight back against the toughest of telepaths, giving him a fighting chance against those looking to interfere with his mind. This is not a perfect defense but, means telepaths must be careful wandering inside Scott's mind. -

For the longest time, Scott could barely remember his life before meeting Charles Xavier, the man who would become his father. There was always fleeting moments, the most prominent memory of him escaping a lab with a blonde haired woman, and the image of a red diamond. Darkness would swirl in his mind, before his first real memory would come about, waking up in a bed of the home of Charles Xavier. Despite the head trauma he would undergo, the man made it his priority to help take care of Scott, and Scott would come to appreciate him.
It would take a few days before Scott's mutant powers would return, nearly destroying the forest outside of Charles' manor, and scaring him beyond belief. A ten year old boy cowering in the dark, before Charles would find him, returning to him the glasses that he had with him when he was found. A relic of a life he did not know, Scott could question just where his family was and what happened. For now, he would learn under Xavier, creating a bond of father and son.
As the years went by, Charles and Scott would add more mutants to the manor. First would be a young girl by the name of Jean Grey, a powerful telepath and Scott's first girlfriend. Next would be Hank Mccoy, a brilliant scientist who just so happened to be a beast man with blue fur, but also he would become Scott's brother. Ororo Munroe would find her way to the school, the queen of the weather and one of the smartest women in the room at all times. Then the one known as Piotr Rasputin would enter the school, a man with a skin of steel and a heart of gold. They would create a bond unlike any other, a bond that would see them become the hope of mutants everywhere.
A trip to Manhattan with Charles would see the group looking to celebrate Scott's 17th birthday. It was supposed to be a fun trip, for them all to celebrate their friend and hang out at the arcade/pizza joint, but things would soon devolve into violence. A commotion would escalate as several men began to attack a business, one man spewing flames from his hands. Instead of just sitting there, Scott would rally his friends to intervene, feeling a sense of duty. Despite this being their first act of heroism, they would end up stopping the group, showcasing what Charles Xavier had been teaching them. This act would be the first step in Scott's journey as a leader, and the first in the tale of the X-Men.
Many had not known this but, Scott and Charles had been training to one day achieve the purpose of creating a peaceful world. It was neither's idea to create a team, but the moment seemed to fall into their lap. With Scott as his first X-Men, he was able to help the others train their abilities within the Danger Room, a training area tailored to help mutants learn control. They were a tight knit team and covered each other's backs.
The X-Men would go on to become a recognized team by the world at large, their heroics garnering them fame and popularity for the Charles Xavier's School for the Gifted. This fame would have its ups and downs. Many young mutants would find hope through the team, joining the school, while other times their pasts would come back to haunt them. Scott would learn this first hand when he would end up finally meeting his brothers, Alexander and Gabriel. His brothers would attack him, nearly killing him, a situation that pushed Scott to the brink mentally. Eventually Alex would come around, helping his older brother against the youngest, who proved he was force to be reckoned with. They couldn't reason with him, and the conflict that spawned a week of Scott chasing them alone would with Gabriel being blasted into the sea, one word escaping his lips. Sinister.
Scott was never able to figure out what Gabriel meant and Alex couldn't remember anything before his mind was restored. For now, Scott was happy to have his little brother back in his life, his mind restoring just a bit of itself at the sight of Alex. Alex would enroll in the school, taking the name of Havok, a codename like the other X-Men. The team of five would become a team of six, their mission only becoming infinitely more dangerous as the Brotherhood would come out of hiding. The reveal of the Brotherhood would instill a curiosity within Scott that would possess him to find stumble upon the hidden manuscripts of Magneto, the mutant extremists or so they say. Charles and Scott would come to have a talk about Magneto, his stance, and the history of their friendship. Scott respected what Magneto stood for, but he couldn't accept his methods as he had saw first hand what the Brotherhood had become.
Truly one of the most significant moments of Scott's life would be the disappearance of Charles Xavier. He never knew why and how it happened. The most Scott was privy to was a punch from the one known as Juggernaut that knocked him out cold, leaving the man in a coma for a month. Nursed back to health by his friends, he would come to learn that Charles had vanished. No one knew how, or at-least they weren't telling. This nearly broke Scott as he had lost the man he had known as his father, and for the team, it tore them apart as well. The guilt ran heavy through them, especially Scott, causing him to eventually step down as leader. First Gabriel and now Charles, he felt as if he had failed them both. This rift would also see the end of Jean and Scott's relationship, and Scott would leave the school.
A year has passed since Scott left, leaving Ororo Munroe in charge of the school. Despite his guilt, Scott has taken on a teaching role within the school, making sure every mutant knows the answer to two plus two. Using the fortune that Charles left behind, Scott was able to start up the Summers Foundation alongside his brother Havok, an organization built to help young mutants, and humans, find their place in their world, similar to something like the NAACP, even paying for mutants to go to college if they need it. Scott has been a force for good, adding to his popularity with the masses, but even he can see just how the world seems to regress day by day on the mutant, and his heart bares a single question. Maybe its time for the first X-men to return?
P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S )
I'm going to say something controversial. Scott Summers is the greatest and most important X-Man in Marvel history. Up until AvX and X-Men vs Inhumans, Cyclops was always considered a joke despite being one of the best parts of several X-Men's best stories, notably Age of Apocalypse, AvX, and Schism. In the last decade, Scott has garnered his flowers and finally getting his own solo comic. Why does this matter? Because no one ever roleplays Scott. Never explores who he is. I want to be that person to give Scott that rp representation that he deserves.
Also I wanted to do something different. Writing for Ghost Rider is writing for a violent character that mostly acts alone. So with the interest that mutants are getting, I felt Cyclops would be a nice 180, giving me a character that interacts with the world and quite popular. I can write for Cyclops and I know I'll do a DAMN good job at it.
My Cyclops is a star in this world. A mutant that many can look up to. Not just the X-men leader or revolutionary, but a man who has earned his fame and admirers, giving back to a world that would rather he not exist. I will be collaborating with any and all other mutants, to create the level of stories befitting the X-Men. Taking away Jean as his love interest, I think makes for a compelling Scott who's main focus is his own life and not pining for Jean's love. I hope you enjoy what I bring to the table.

Born to the fantastical Haly's Circus, Dick's life has always been one of thrill and wonder. He was doted on by everyone in the Circus and it truly felt like he was being raised by a village. From as long as he could remember he always wanted to be part of the show and fly on the trapeze like his parents, John and Mary of the Flying Graysons. But until he was old enough to take his position in the skies he started his Circus career as one of the clowns. He learned a lot about showmanship and keeping the attention of the audience with them. As he got older he started being taught by the other performers and game attendants. He took a liking to knife throwing the most. The circus family always commented that with his passion and natural affinity for the circus that he'd end up running Haly's one day. He wanted that more than anything and even Haly himself seemed to want it for him.
When Dick was eleven he finally joined his parents on the Trapeze. The world couldn't believe a child so young was so talented. John and Mary were amazing, but only Dick could perform four flips in a row. This put Haly's Circus on the map, catching a lot of fame and attention, but not all attention was good attention. A year later the Joker was drawn to Haly's and tore through the circus in what became known as the Haly Circus Massacre. In one gruesome night his world shattered and his dreams were destroyed. He barely had time to process what happened before he was adopted by Thomas Wayne. The press caught wind of this and claimed that he was only adopting the young Grayson to make up for his wife's crimes. Richard had shut himself in his new room and was unaware of the media circus going on or the revelation of the Joker was. He just knew he wanted to make her pay for what she had done.
One night Richard fell asleep in the library reading books. He awoke to see Alfred walking out of a hole in the wall where the Grandfather Clock used to be. When Alfred left the room he opened the secret passageway and found himself in the Batcave. It was then that he realized that his new adoptive father was the Batman. He convinced Thomas to take him on as his protege and partner by saying that the Batman needed someone to balance him. He struggled to find a name for himself until he recalled what his mother called him when he joined the Flying Graysons. He was her little bird. Her little Robin. To honor his parents he took on the mantle of Robin to make sure kids wouldn't lose their parents and family the same way that he did. For the past year he's been pushing himself through training and patrolling the streets of Gotham so he could honor his resolve and not be a burden to Thomas. During the day he attends Gotham Academy and has started to finally open up again due to the influence of the kids at the school.

Thomas Wayne is one of my favorite iterations of Batman so when I saw Micki get approved for him I immediately wanted to apply for a Robin sheet, but wasn't sure if I could. Now that the offer is on the table I had to go for it. Dick Grayson has always been my favorite Robin and I wanted to explore his life through this story and see how differently things could go with him raised by Thomas instead of Bruce. I want to have Robin form the Teen Titans in this story as well and hope that this sheet will inspire others to make characters for the team and would be interested to see even Marvel characters join to see how that dynamic plays out.
Outside of that the ideas I have for this version of Dick is to explore his life at Gotham Academy and flex his detective skills with the Detective Club and for them to get into hijinks and explore their growth and feelings as teenagers when facing things that they shouldn't have to. I want to give his story that Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, and Scooby-Doo vibe where there will be both fake and real monsters and ghosts while exploring that dark side of Gotham.
