Yep, I was out of town. I'll update this soon.

 

[DBM]

Updates made. I've got a big list of sites I'm going to add soon as soon as I get time to look through them.

 

[FlameHead]

Sounds awesome man. Keep up the great work... and welcome back to the hype.

 

[DBM]

Don't know if anyone else noticed it but at the Marvel Directory Website they posted this.

Well after almost a year of not doing any updates I am going to try and get back into the groove of things. I am going to start with an overhaul of the site. New look New features. I am going to bring the message board back. After that i will start with adding entries and try to keep current news.

Sounds good to me. That site desperately needs some updating.

 

[FlameHead]

I hear ya. I love that site and am missing the fact that most of the pages are not working right now. I'll have to pop on over and show my support for they're overhaul of hte site

It's good that they're updating but it honestly couldn't have come at a worse time. Now both the Unofficial Handbook site AND Marvel Directory have broken links and stuff.

D'oh! I'm in desperate need of some information reagarding Lilith too! Now I have to wait.

Here's a bio of her from the Appendix to the Unofficial Handbook:

Awesome Corp. Now I can make the thread I've been dying to make for a while. I just couldn't think of 2 of the names. I'm in your debt my friend.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No problem.

 

[FlameHead]

Man... I did some looking around for new additions to the links but there just isn't anything else out there. I think we have it all covered... though that is unlikely.

Try working on the DC version. It's a lot harder to find good DC websites.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That's because fewer exist. DC websites mostly suck.

 

[FlameHead]

DC mostly suck.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's partly because DC power descriptions don't exist in the kind of detail that Marvel's do. If you look at Superman, it'll say he has super-strength. If you look at Aquaman, it'll say he's got super-strength, too. There's no range.

Martion Manhunter's almost as powerful as Superman, as is WW. M'onel is as powerful as Superman. Orion is as powerful as Superman is not a wee bit stronger. That's how DC usually does things. Then again, it does allow a bit more versatility, without people really having anything to pick on. "Aquaman's strength level is only class 50!" or whatever...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It also provides the leeway for DC to keep edging its characters' powers higher and higher, like they've been doing ever since the early '80s post-Crisis relaunches. Wonder Woman's much more badass now than she was then, Batman can beat God with prep time now, Superman's almost back to moving moons, etc.

Meh, whatever. Supermans one of the most powerful beings in the DCU (non cosmic of course) let him do insane things. God knows Thor and The Hulk have destroyed enough celestial bodies, done enough insane things. Everything's always going to be up down, with a little bit of consistency in between. I'm sick of trying to fight it I guess.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't have a problem with it, I'm just saying that that's part of the reason DC doesn't set power levels in stone. Marvel doesn't really do so either. If you look at the current Handbooks' power ratings, they have really huge ranges that makes it much more difficult to pin anyone at any level. A "4" in strength now means being able to press between 850 lbs. and 10 tons.

Personally, I don't really care. I like not having things absolutely set numerically. I don't need Marvel to determine that the Vision can project blasts of microwaves from his solar gem at 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. "The Vision can project focused beams of microwaves from the solar jewel on his forehead."

I agree with you completely.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Thank you, sir.
