Shared Superhero World

[CClark]

I made the mistake (will not really a mistake) of reading an article at io9.com http://io9.com/5878720/how-to-create-a-brand-new-iconic-hero-or-villain and started thinking about creating a world for superheroes. Thus making me wonder if anyone wanted to do a shared world.


The idea is for a new and original take on superheroes and the world they live in.



So far there's about 4 of us on the forum and we're looking for a few more!

I have a forum set up, comment if you want to know more, leave an email address if you want a link to the group.

I like the article

I read that article awhile back too,and since then had thoughts of doing a webcomic.

It would have to be some very well thought out complex characters to really make it. Something that will stand out and be different then anything we've seen thus far.

I'd be down to be apart of that.

That's pretty hard to do. I've seen quite a bit.

 

[The Question]

Also, on the subject of this article, so much of it is just demonstratively untrue that it's kind of annoying.

I am worried about not being able to make a world that is far different from all of the other comic worlds out there, but I thought it might be fun to at least try.

The groups 5 strong right now. Still looking for a few more people to join.

You only have 4 options. People hate the powered people, people love the powered people, people don't know the powered people exist, and some people like em, some don't.

I'll join. Haven't read article yet, but I've written scripts in the past.

There are probably other ways you can make a fictional world distinct from similr fictional worlds.

Everybody has powers.

Everybody has powers except one dude.

One dude has powers in multiple universe and they come together to protect their multiverse.

There's your basic superhero comic universe filled with heroes and villains, but it's all a figment of the imagination of a seven year old autistic child who is also God.......
