[deemar325]

Most of you know the deal, if not it more or less a thread to post your ideas for New Characters related to the MARVEL U, Your take on a previous story arc, Ideas for new Teams, re-creating old characters and concepts.


Pretty much do what you like just create ideas. Aspiring writers toss your ideas around, artist show your sh-t!


Just create. share. and spitball ideas to one another.


We only got one rule...

If your gonna post a idea be a good sport and comment on anothers ideas. Don't be selfish. Tit for Tat.

I'm not going to go into all the reasons why, but I always wondered why Beast wasn't made the headmaster of Xavier's in Charles absence. I realize that he's not the golden boy that Scott was, but that's refuted because Emma Frost is headmistress. He's obviously intelligent, and has one of the least complicated histories of the major characters. If anything, the only drawbacks would be the "Dark Beast" persona, or trying to "cure" his mutation, but those are old news right? Besides, they pale in comparison to all of Scott's problems.

If anything, I'd rearrange the X-Books to include the least amount of titles, while still trying to appease everyone. Involve the writers in a mutual discussion to keep the storylines tied together, and continuity straight. I see it as a home team, consisting primarily of the characters already established in Astonishing, not because of Whedon, but because they're mostly my personal favorites.

Then, an away team, like X-Factor, featuring B-, C-, or D-listers given desperately needed characterization, featuring a semi-rotating cast of characters on top of an established investigative team, Madrox, Rahne, etc.

A New X-Men: Academy X book, featuring the actual students, focused on developing the characters before they become injected into the Senior X-groups. Think of it as Degrassi with superpowers.

Finally, there's probably room for an Excalibur, Alpha Flight, or other third X-team, as long as they do not operate in the same vicinity as Astonishing or X-Factor. Or, this could be seen as series of minis, run one at a time.

As long as plenty of conversation between writers and artists occurrs, to keep everything straight, it would probably benefit the MU to see X-Men as a seperate entity altogether from the rest of their books because, while they technically take place in New York, the mutants tend to stay among mutants.

--------------------

You have some interesting ideas for heroes, Anubis, though the names seem overly hokey, unless that's what you're going for. I can see them working as a "classic" team from the fifties, but if you're going for a more serious book the codenames need work.

Lady Fingers is my favorite from that crew. the name just works. Townie ain't bad either. i could see him being an actual character. the power reminds me of Gladiator (Imperial Guard version); like his powers are related to his confidence. if this SHRA generates a superhero team based out of Ireland, i think they should use your idea; have a hero who depends on the mental support of his hometown.


-----

and it's been awhile since i posted it but i had some different ideas for Hobie Brown aka Prowler. he'd be high school-aged prodigy who didn't quite escape the street-life but put his own engineering whiz spin on his criminality. his prowler costume would be more like a light-weight armor he cobbled together from stuff he stole from junkyards and construction sites. and the endless number of weapons he has hidden in it would be fashioned from household chemicals and stuff he's tricked out from electronics stores. like he'd be able to turn an MP3 player into an electronic-lock baffler or signal scrambler. but more importantly, i'd want him to look a little cooler. if you've ever seen the X-Cutioner, that's sort of where i'm going with the look. those clawed gauntlets of his would be fierce-looking and powerful enough to climb brick walls/deliver an electric shock when needed. he'd have special lenses on his face mask (actually an old german style gas mask) that allow him to see in low light areas (his hours of operation). but the armor comes with a hoodie to hide his appearance and, instead of a cape, there's a makeshift parachute for quick escapes. a lot of his armor detaches for quick escapes and, in general, i wanted him to have an almost "alien"/"insectoid" appearance.

personality-wise, Hobie would be all about pimping his armor and testing it against superfolk; heroes and villains. i see it as his character flaw. he rarely turns a profit because he's always spending the cash on his weaponry. he's also be in decent shape and a natural at street-fighting. oh and screw that window washer stuff. Hobie would have a part-time job at a chop shop.

I'm of the mind that the name Excalibur shouldn't have anything to do with anything X-men or mutant related. I think a name like that belongs to a 'Avengers' level European team.

Your ideas are pretty sound, my feelings is that Marvel should do away with all the X-books accept Uncanny,Wolverine and a Teen X-book or anthology series.

Hokey is what I'm going for, only a Dan Slott or Robert Kirkman could pull these characters off.

The gas mask thing is kinda cool, at least for his first attemp at a Prowler armor.


I thing you pegged his personality spot-on for a guy like that, he be so into creating new stuff for his suit that the whole point of his being a villain is more innocent in that he is a budding genuis just trying to fund his pet project namely his identity as the Prowler.

I figured what would a self absorded former beauty queen be like as a superhero. It kinda wrote itself.


Townie is basically that young cat no more than a few years outta highschool who was the former star quarterback and local town hero, but he wasn't gifted enough as a athlete to go pro (or too dumb too see the oppurtunity college offered.) He's pretty aimless and a womanizer and instead of reaching his full potential felt more at home in Rhode Island as a 'Big Fish' in a little pond than be a 'Small Fish' in a big pond.

His fear of success and complacentcy are his greatest weaknesses. I'd say I was thinking of Bruce Willis as David Dunn in 'Unbreakable' as the basis with a touch of Radio Raheem from 'Do the right thing.'

Before posting my own ideas, I'd like to first comment on the amazingly ****ty life that Good Samaritan has. 50 a day? The man is like sissifus. Lol Though I still like the fact that your heroes have limitations.

Positive Pete's powers are probably my favorite because he's like a more practical vesion of Mr. Miracle. From a writers standpoint he'd probably be one of the more fun characters to write about.

I think Slam Chowder is bad. Too hokey for my tastes. It's kindof a throw back to the batman television show IMO. But it gets me wondering If I can do any better.

P.S. I love the thread idea.

Also I have one question. Why doesn't Townie just be a professional boxer. He'd be the greatest thing ever with those type of powers.

 

[deemar325]

Thanks man it was started by Anubis originally this is the 2.0 version.

I think any good Marvel hero should have limitations. Samaritan's unique problem is 'What would happen if a already good man was forced too be even more helpful and considerate? Would he snap? Or would he rise to the challenge?'

Positive Pete's powers are probably my favorite because he's like a more practical vesion of Mr. Miracle. From a writers standpoint he'd probably be one of the more fun characters to write about.

Pete is the kinda guy who seems useless and boring at first, but he is probaly the most effective of the group. Heres this frail nerd of a guy who hasn't any flashy godlike powers, but could probaly take down the Hulk with the possibilities of his one true superpower. Plus he's a perfect source of comedy for any writer.

I think Slam Chowder is bad. Too hokey for my tastes. It's kindof a throw back to the batman television show IMO. But it gets me wondering If I can do any better.

It's kinda the point. He's a throwback to simpler times when men where men! Guys who solved problem by smashing things and he's a counterpoint to Pete who solves issues mostly throw ingenius and convoluted ploys. Slam simply bashes stuff.

P.S. I love the thread idea.

Also I have one question. Why doesn't Townie just be a professional boxer. He'd be the greatest thing ever with those type of powers.

Read previous post on Townie.

Townie doesn't see the bigger world outside of his own. Guy basically limits himself, plus he's not the sharpest tac in the box.

 

[Fenryr]

I'm not Anubis man.

Thanks man it was started by Anubis originally this is the 2.0 version.

I knew I wasn't going crazy, but it was still a mistake on my part.

"Positive Pete" reminds a lot of Longshot. On the surface, his powers aren't anything to brag about, but if used correctly, things always end up in his favor.

-----------------------

I've got this idea that's kind of an updated Manimal, but also pokes fun at how superheroes always have olympic-level bodies. A slightly overweight guy that gets these animalistic powers that enable him to survive in any situation. Like, if he was drowning, he'd develop gills and webbed digits, or if he were caught in a nuclear blast, his body would reconform like a cockroach. The main setback is figuring out how to get him these powers without following cliches. My first inclination is to have it be some kind of semi-contageous virus, because he's going to end up spreading it to at least one other person, who slowly becomes the focus, but even that has to start somewhere, and the "shady government organization" tm, just doesn't seem original enough.

"Mutant X"

a large hole is blown in the wall keeping the 198 inside the Xavier compound. hours later a message is put up on the internet claiming responsiblity. the person identifies himself as Mutant X. He says that he will continue to destroy the walls of the Xavier "Internment Camp" until the mutants are unconditionally released. He states that no loss of life is intended and it will be avoided at all costs.

They send Noriko under cover to discover who is doing this. they find a small band of mutants in town working against O.N.E. they go by special codenames: Pittsburg, Manhattan, London, and Paris.

Pittsburg can absorb solid matter into his body increasing his desnity and weight. the higher it goes, the stronger he is. he can discharge the absorbed matter as an energy beam. he has low education.

London generates his own atmosphere and in a very limited area conrol the weather. his primary use of this is generating fog which he can spread over miles and miles. he can cover 10 square miles in a thick fog in less than an hour.

Manhattan appears to be the leader. he can manipulate the amount of friction in any physical interaction. he usually uses it to skate, but can also use it in numerous other ways.

Paris is telepathic illusionist, but so far is limited to her own appearance. she simply has to broadcast an idea of how she wants to appear, and you will see her in a form that best suits your view... it's complicated. basically she can make you see her as what ever you think is most non-threatening. she won't know exactly what you see, and it is different for every individual. no two see her the same way. She is inactuality very plain looking. She and Manhattan are dating.

Noriko is quickly taken in by them, taking the new codename "Kyoto". she tags along for a few missions, but the X-Men notice that after each of their missions "Mutant X" claims responsiblity. Noriko pushes on the idea, and the confess that they just made up Mutant X to further the cause. how better to intimidate one's opponent than with a dangerous sounding mysterious enemy. Noriko continues the mission under the X-Men's orders, and finds herself being taken aside by London quite frequently.

London is like her; disowned for being a mutant. Manhattan, Paris, and Pittsburg are all second generation mutants. their parents loved them, but died on M-Day. London wants to wage a more violent war, and . that is when Noriko begins to notice missions going wrong and winding up wiht a body count.

Finally on the X-mansion lawn they confront London who reveals he's even more powerful than they thought as he demonstrates climato-kinesis. and the ability to emit poisonous gases. Manhattan, Pittsburg, and Paris are apparently killed in the Explosion that takes London out with them.

My Namor Idea......

Terrorists blow up a large building in Atlantis killing several thousand atlanteans. Angered and fueled by his people calling out for blood Namor goes after the people who have ordered the attack and anyone who gets in the way be damned. Black Panther, Doom and other Marvel rulers are showcased as it seems like the Marvel Universe is gonna be involved in war because of Namor's new mantra..."If you arent with us you are against us"

I'm not really feeling it Z, althought the mutants naming themselves after cities is kinda cool. Also how about having there powers kind of work off the theme of the city they base themselves on.

I just wanted too free the idea of the thread from the glut of posts on the previous one. To kind of get a fresh coat of paint.

I ain't trying to step on Anubis' toes, I just want some new voices in here and the best way to do that is start fresh.

I'm not really feeling it Z, althought the mutants naming themselves after cities is kinda cool. Also how about having there powers kind of work off the theme of the city they base themselves on.

That is partly why I did their powers that way, without making them into "Captain New York, and Lady Paris" types.

London is called london because he produces fog so regularly.

Manhattan because of the skating-move he has increases his speed and endurance.

Paris because Paris is the city of fashion and she's always in the best fashions because of her powers.

Pittsburg is a steel town and Pittsburg breaks material down to make himself more powerful... like metal put into a forge... I know they're all kind of reaching but that was the idea.
