Anubis' "How would you do it?" Thread.

With the Prince, The Pauper story just do away with the atlantis slant.
Well Like I said, I have another story for that sort of thing. An orphan in America finds he's the last living heir to the throne of a small european country called "Aurora". he was picked up while in Army Boot Camp, which actually helps as Aurora is a fairly militaristic nation.
 
Demon Soul

A young man, Greg discovers that he is a forcibly re-incarnated demon, and that the powers, knowledge, and indeed evil of his previous life is beginning to break through into his new life (Including the transformation of his left arm into a mass of highly elastic tentacles). He is protected by a cursed former Wiccan Priest. The Priest, who bears the Eye of Kandar (telepathic abilities), is known only as "Fire". Fire was a part of the group that originally forced the demon to be reincarnated into the young man.

Greg begins to be hunted by a circle of nuns and what appears to be their super-powered bounty hunter (sister of the lead nun). It turns out the bounty hunter is in the same boat as Greg, a powerful demon reincarnated.
 
Marvel BC

some collusion of time, history, and events occurs, but this can be attributed to the Marvel Multiverses already unstable flow of time.

The Four- A great army is raising in the eastern parts of the Roman Empire. They are lead by three great warriors, and a wizard. Greem Bahn Is the general and leader of this army. He is an enormous man who seems to wear armor at all times made from orange stones. His chief Leiutenants are brother and sisters. Stur Jahni and Stur Soos. Stur Jahni is said to be able to weild fire as weapon or armor. Stur Soos is said to become as invisible as a shadow in the night, and cast walls of unseen stone. Greem Bahn's most trusted advisor and friend is the "Wizard". Fantasticus does not practice magic, but is able to make the most astounding things occur due to his advanced knowledge of science. He was once a great thinker of the Roman Empire, but was exiled when he had the audacity to claim there were no Gods.

The Spartan: He known by only this name. It is known that he was once a member of the greatest warrior culture to ever walk the earth. It is said that on his own he can take on an entire batallion weilding only a spear, and his shield. From the way he speaks it is known that he is quite old. He searches for his old brothers in arms, saying that they were not human, but not Gods either. It was said his comrades were Sol and Neptune themselves.

Arachnos: Before being changed into a spider, Arachne had given birth to a child, and from the line Petrius is descended. Petrius, living with his Aunt and Uncle in Rome, has always wished to be one of the great thinkers, however youth gets in the way of truly great thoughts. when he finds that he has a birthright from Minerva, powers of his ancestor Arachne, but his own form, he abuses them in gladiator battles. He wears red cloaks tied well over his body to hide his identity, lest some realize his gift. He ignores the true reason for this gift, and for the crime, the Goddess allows Petrius Uncle, Bennia, to die, murdered. Now knowing the great responsiblity that comes with a gift from the Gods, Petrius has resolved to use this power rightly, to protect Rome from the forces that would destroy it.

WHO REMEMBERS RIP HUNTER? #1
This is it! A new editor-in-chief, a new DC universe! Per Degaton and the Red Morgue ravage the multiverse in search of time master Rip Hunter, when he was a baby! In a race against time, the android Hourman must resurrect the only team that can save Rip Hunter, and by extension, the multiverse!

On sale January 1 • 1 of 8 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US

In this eight issue limited series, Per Degaton, the time travelling villain most commonly associated with the JSA, steps up his plans a notch. Normally, he and Rip Hunter keep each other in balance nicely, ensuring a stable timestream. However, things have changed. Degaton is set on eradicating his mortal enemy and is travelling the 52 worlds of the multiverse, in search of the baby that will one day become Rip Hunter.

Assessing the severity of this threat, Rip Hunter holes himself up in his own time bubble, thereby becoming immune to temporal changes, but the same thing that saves his life is also keeping him out of the game. How did Degaton finally come upon the info he needed to kill Hunter? Using time vision in the same manner as the Hourman android does, Degaton is able to look back on Hunter's life, and see him as a child. Now all he has to do is track that child down.

Hourman, also possessing this info, must endeavour to find the child and keep him out of the clutches of Degaton. To do this, he's going to need a team, and who better to recruit than Rip's old team The Forgotten Heroes? Animal Man! Cave Carson! Congo Bill! Dane Dorrance! Dolphin! Immortal Man! Rick Flag!

Okay, so maybe 'recruited' isn't the right word. More or less plucked out of their lives, without a say in the matter. Some are easily swayed to the cause while others, such as Rick Flag, are noticeably less amused. Thing is, he doesn't have much a choice, and under the guidance of Hourman, the team travel through the known universes in search of the 'timechild'.

The mini really gets to delve into these rather obscure characters. We haven't seen the Immortal Man since the final issues of Resurrection Man, and he's as stoic as ever. Dolphin desperately wants to return to her husband and child. Animal Man has similar concerns. Flag wants to go back to his work, never having liked these people anyway. Dane Dorrance and Cave Carson are deeply fascinated by the adventure and Congo Bill, easily the most obscure member of the team, struggles with his terminally ill golden gorilla, to which he can transfer his mind. Through the course of the series, these characters grow close once more, united at least by the notion that they must save Rip Hunter.

Now, rather than having the two teams confront each other in every issue, they literally travel through dimensions in search of the timechild, giving an overview of the new DC multiverse. At a few intervals, the two teams meet and fight, with the bad guys inevitably escaping. Their final confrontation is on Earth-52, where Per Degaton has finally found the young Rip Hunter.

In the climactic battle, the Forgotten Heroes are able to trap Per Degaton into a time loop, at the sacrifice of the Immortal Man, who acts as a jailer to Degaton. Rip Hunter is saved, but the adventure has caused a ripple throughout the multiverse. A positive one, yes, but a ripple that must be guided, and who better than these Forgotten Heroes?

WHO REMEMBERS RIP HUNTER? #8
This is it! The final battle! The Forgotten Heroes vs Per Degaton and the Red Morgue. The prize? The baby that will one day become Rip Hunter, Time Master, and with it the, multiverse! Don't miss the climax to the most anticipated series of the year 2008. Leads directly into the new ongoing series Rip Hunter and the Forgotten Heroes!

"Who Remembers Rip Hunter?" is a great title. Pretty good idea too.
 
How Would Zoken Do the DC Universe.

Superman: FNG. Clark Kent has always known he was different. When he entered High school his parents told him about his legacy. To this day he has told all of ONE person about it. He graduated High School, and left the sleepy farming town of Smallville, he went to a small college where he Majored in Journalism, believing strongly in the power of the press and the people over all other things. He'd never put his powers to much use, and in fact spent most of his time reigning them in. Now, with his first job as a staff reporter with the Daily Planet, he's seeing the atrocities that mankind can commit upon each other. He's learning that there are some people who won't listen, who have to be made to listen. Until he moved to Metropolis, he didn't believe Super-Heroes were really necessary. Now he believes otherwise... and thus begins the career of Superman, the worlds most powerful hero. But how will other heroes react to his strength? His speed? His idealism?

Flash: A Flash For All Ages. Jay Garrick was an old man. He was a proud man. He'd fought in wars, defended his nation, and seen a great many things. Ever since the day of his last cigarrett and those damned hard water vapors, he'd been a part of something bigger than himself. The one thing he hadn't seen, in all his time, was someone else who was a part of the Speed Force... until Barry Allen. Now young Barry Allen has a mentor to teach him how to use those new found powers. His youthful enthusiasm and impatience is tamed by Garrick's wisdome and methodicalness.

JSA: Tales of Heroes, staring Hourman, Sandman, Stargirl, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, and other heroes. Learn the origins of the Hero lineages in this universe. Look back at their origins in the 1930's, or even ancient egypt. And follow their lines to their current incarnations. Watch the team fight for Truth, Justice, and the American way.

Green Lantern: Brightest Day, Blackest Night. The story of Hal Jordan, Earth's first true Lantern. A former airforce pilot with a slightly chilling disposition, is granted a weapon of astounding power. Now he is our primary line of defense against Alien menaces who are targeting our world.

Batman: Gotham Knights. The tale, not only of Bruce Wayne and his mission, but also of all Gothamites who choose to fight the corruption and evil the clutch the city. Who tell the monsters dressed as men "NO". The small cadre of police officers who agree to help the Batman, Those who rise up on the streets to act, inspired by the Batman. And of course, Batman's own inner struggle, trying to understand if he was much better than those he stopped.

I'll need to hear more. And your Aquaman needs a major overhaul. (see DC stupid Questions thread)
 
THE INITIAVE: SUPERNATURAL TERRORISM PREVENTION UNIT

Way back at the third season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we saw Angel leave Sunnydale and move onto his own spin-off series, obviously titled Angel. Angel was quickly replaced as Buffy's love interest but the far less troubled Riley Finn, who would leave the show a mere one and a half season later. As of that episode, I've always felt Riley's adventures could've been spun off, whether it be into a television series or an ongoing comic. The sixth season episode "As You Were", pretty much confirmed this to me, showing Riley as a more hardened, now married, leader of a demon hunting squad. etc, etc

Just read this one and I love this idea. I would definitely watch this show/read this comic.
 
Okay, so, here's my idea of how I would have done Aquaman. I'd play up the Magic angle mostly.

His mother, Atlanna, was the the future Queen of Atlantis. The only child of the great King Orin, she was betrothed to one of Atlantis' most powerful sorcerers, Oranus. This *****e was an evil, and ambitious individual who wanted nothing but the throne. Feeling as though her life wasn't really her own, and longing for freedom, she abandoned her throne, and ran away to the surface world. There, she met an New England Fisherman by the name of Tom Curry. They fell in love and had a child they named Arthur. From the start they realized this child was special. Stronger than any normal Atlantean, far more than any human. He could also breath both underwater and on land without any spells (Like his mother had to use to stay on land.) When Arthur was three years old, Oranus had finally tracked his bride to be down. She went back with him, in exchange for him sparing the life of Tom and Arthur. Arthur lived with his father, alone until he was sixteen years old, when Tom went out to sea one day, and never returned. Weeks went by without word, before Arthur decided he would look for his father himself. Along this journey to search for his father he discovered many new abilities, such as the ability to communicate with sea life, and an innate ability to control magicks. His search eventually lead him to Atlantis, where he found his mother, and discovered that his father had been taken prisoner by Oranus in order to smoke out the leader of the resistance, Atlanna. You see, after becoming King of Atlantis, he immediately set forth with an oppressive regime. Atlanna, tried to regain control of her Kingdom, which lead Oranus to try and have her killed. She already bore him an son, Orm, so her usefulness had come to an end. The assassination attempt was unsuccessful, and she was able to escape thanks to her trusted aid, Vulko. Since then she's been leading the disenfranchised peoples of Atlantis against Oranus' oppressive forces. Oranus attmepted to use Tom as a barganing chip agianst her. With Arthur's help, the rebel forces were able to storm Poseidonis, where they attmepted to free Tom, and finally put an end to Oranus' tyranny. During the battle, Oranus kills Tom, in a rage, Arthur kills Oranus, right in front of his half brother, Orm. With Oranus dead, and his supporters banished from the Kingdom, Arthur starts his new life as a Prince of Atlantis. He has problems with the people, who distrust him because of his half breed status, also, he has to deal with a Prophecy that exists in ancient Atlantean folklore, about the fall of Atlantis at the hands of a half Atlantean, half Surface Dweller.

And that's pretty much my Origin for Aquaman before coming to the surface again and becoming a Superhero in his early twenties. I may come back with some other stuff at some other time.
 
CAPTAIN AMERICA BEGINS.....

Frail Steve Rogers agrees to be a part of a secret super soldier project to aid his country's war efforts...we know how he became a supersoldier but we dont know how he became Captain America until now. In this new ongoing series we will find out how Rogers trained to become an expert martial artist, master tactician and why he was given the suit and shield.

Damn good and back to basics, sorta.
 
"The Boogeyman"

a man is out one night with his fiance when they are attacked by a gang. They take turns raping his wife and make him watch while restrained. The kill her in front of them, and then kill him and dump them in the streets. As his soul hangs in limbo between life and death as his body dies, he is approached by a triumverate... Hekate, Nyx, and Artemis. They offer to save him in exchange for becoming their avatar, their embodiment of night and darkness. He attempts to plead for his fiance's life, but they inform him she has already died and Hades is not so open to barter as they are. He reluctantly accepts their terms and returns to life. He is now a living god of Night.

His powers include limited telepathy, enough to know a person's "Sins" and fears, turning into a living shadow, shapeshifting into what a person fears, transmuting into "Fluid Darkness".

Those are only the powers he's aware of. he has to explore his powers. It turns out there is a whole side of his new state of existance he's unable to comprehend yet. He can heal people, cast light into darkness, enter dreams, grant people inspiration. He is in effect, a night god, with power over all aspects of the night, good aspects and bad aspects. The story would be about him coming to grips with his new existance, which includes his grief for his fiance.
 
It's ALIVE!!!!!!!!

sorry just got back from an interesting fall patrol going to exotic places as Vladivostok, Russia; Hong Kong(was there when they filmed TDK), Hai Phong, Vietnam before heading into 2 weeks of typhoon induced 12 foot seas. I was not a happy sailor and I am glad to get some dirt under my boots.
 
Revolution

Armageddon... the mythical location of the final battle between good an evil.
Armageddonites... the followers of a cult dedicated to bringing about the end of the world so as to purify it from impurities, including racial impurities.

Soren Kristoff... born to the third wife of the Armageddonites' founder, Ymir Kristoff, he was dubbed the cult's messiah at the age of four hours old. He was raised from birth to lead them. He was taught history, politics, science, martial arts, sorcery, warfare, weaponry, and other things that would be essential to leading an army to wipe the world clean. He was positioned to seize all of that when a group of black supremacists, thinking the Armageddonites to be nothing more than white supremacists, attacked their base of opperations. They managed to hurt Ymir Kristoff, but in doing so sent Soren into a rage. He managed to kill seven of them before the police showed up. He was arrested and tried as a minor at the age of 14.

In prison his eyes were opened. He began to see that there wasn't really a difference between the races other than skin. Both had the same weaknesses and frailties and faults. At first it only encouraged him that humanity must be destroyed. Then he was assigned a new cellmate. Sharron Qualls was from Watts in Los Angeles. To use his own words, he was a statistic. He admits to having commited a crime, but claims the charges were inflated unjustly.

At first their relationship was one of mutual disdain. Then came the day Sharron's sister came to visit. Soren said he'd never seen a more beautiful being in his life.

Shortly before a now reformed Soren's first parole hearing, he is approached by the CIA who want his help in taking down the Armageddonites, who have become less of a cult and more of an enormous, well funded, highly organized, terrorist army. In exchange, they will ensure the parole board rules in his favor. After a good deal of time thinking, Soren decides to help them, though his work is only part time and free lance.

The story is about him fighting against the people who raised him and about him now living in Watts with Sharron and Sharron's family.
 
Sharron is a dude.

and if you're refering to Sharron's sister, she was there for visiting one day and Soren saw her.
 
It could have been stated more clearly. I've met a few guys named Sharron, and I thought it would be something funny that Soren could poke fun at him for.
