I'll do an Iron Man post this weekend. Sorry for the delay.
 
I haven't forgotten about Super-Skrull possessing Sue Storm´s powers. The thing is I'm making him start out nothing but a brute; and as such he doesn't fully appreciate the force-field/invisibility thing yet.
 
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!

Okay basically, I had just finished an very long Luthor post only for Firefox to shut down on me last miniute! :(

I will try and get one up tommrow so that I can get the response to the Void´s defeat but I have been very busy last few days. Sorry for any delays to the arc I have caused.
 
EBJ, does Aunt May know that Peter is dating Barbara in Gotham?

"One Universe" RPG SEASON IV SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Matt Murdock

Character you would like to play: Hawkeye |
Clint Barton

Powers: No superhuman powers to speak of, but Clint is a pure athlete and tactician. He was trained in martial arts by Captain America and can almost be regarded as superhuman with a bow and arrow. He carries a quiver of custom arrows with him that use gas, explosives, flares, nets and other utilities. He is also proficient in the use of swords and other melee weaponry.

Brief biography of the character's history: Clint Barton was an orphan who ran away from his orphanage in his early years. He joined a circus where he was trained in the use of a bow & arrow by Trickshot and The Swordsman. Upon learning that his mentors were actually criminals he denounces them, leading to a near-death beating at the hands of Swordsman. Many years later and having drifted around the country, he saw Iron Man in action and made the decision to put his skills to better use and become a hero too. His name: Hawkeye.

Hawkeye subsequently joined the Avengers and spent many years drifting in and out of the team. Having struck out on his own, Barton found himself in Gotham City. The stomping ground may have been new, but the threats to humanity remained constant. As ever they were watched over by the protective gaze of the man they call Hawkeye.

Now, Hawkeye has been drafted by Lex Luthor to stand, once again, among the group of heroes called the Avengers. Serving as a ragtag group of body guards, heroes, and covert operatives, the Avengers are agents of Lex Luthor, and their loyalties lay with him.

List a few reasons why you have chosen that character:

1. Why not?

2. Hawkeye is one of those guys I haven't gotten to play as yet.

3. He has a bow!

What can you bring to this game?: A moderately well-written Hawkeye, I hope.

Color and font you plan on using for your character's speech: Arial, 2, bold, purple.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: We'll see.

Please provide a small sample post with original content in the style that you plan to write your character in (must be at least 3 paragraphs long and contain at least 1 line of dialogue):
The following is an out-of-continuity sample:

Hawkeye slammed his finger against his earpiece, listening intently as Wally West followed the van carrying the kidnappers of the president. Sweat slid drearily down the side of his face as he barreled over fooftops in the nation's capital. From behind his purple mask, Clint Barton scowled, watching the roads beneath him intently, trying to follow the van as it weaved in and out of traffic. The helicopters piloted by the secret service were on their way, and the black SUVs that were standard government issue were surely ripping up the asphalt behind the van, but when it came to protecting the president, the Avengers were best suited for the job.

"Hey, Large Male, can you go ahead and stop traffic for us?" Hawkeye spat into his earpiece.

"Giant Man, Hawkeye." Barton's teammate said, running along a rooftop across the street, "Giant Man."

Hawkeye watched as, without hesitation, Giant Man threw himself off of the rooftop and initiated his transformation into Giant Man in mid-air. Slamming down hard onto the ground on a single knee, all of the traffic heading out of the District of Columbia came to a screeching halt, save the van that held the president, which was just ahead of the superhuman's knee. Thor was already in the skies, watching the van intently.

"The van is making a break for the highway, Avengers." He cried, lifting his hammer high in the air, "We must do something!"
Lightning, accompanied by an angry rain, slammed into the ground around the van, and it swerved, coming dangerously close to rolling over. Hakweye gritted his teeth as he raced along rooftops, hurling himself over the alleyways. Eventually, he came to the end of the block, watching as Thor played Whack-A-Van.

Drawing an explosive arrow, Hawkeye took aim for the back door of the vehicle.

"Wally."
He said sternly.

"Onit."
The Flash replied.

Letting go swiftly, Hawkeye watched as the arrow sailed into the metal housing of the van. With a flash, the rear doors swung open widely, revealing a slew of thugs and a hog-tied Lex Luthor. As the van screeched to a halt, Luthor in full-view of his superhuman team, Hawkeye drew another arrow and heaved back on his bow. The goons within heaved the President to his feet, holding a gun at his head. In that instant, every hero froze.

Before the thugs could react, though, Luthor was gone, as if he had disappeared into thin air. He appeared again at the front of the van, next to the Flash, who began untying him.

"Bingo." Hawkeye said with a smirk, taking aim for one of the goon's heads.

I would approve you, but.

This bio doesn't seem to nessecary synch up with the OU's history. What with the Avengers being a new team and all.

Got it. I'll edit. I know he had a history of being a quasi-criminal in Gotham, trying to eliminate crime from the inside out, but I wasn't sure if anything had been done with him in the interim.
 
Hey, Byrd, you mind if we just assume that the Parkers and Gordon had a lovely, uneventful dinner so I can skip ahead to Spider-Man arriving at the League meeting?
