Lol, i can make juggernaut one of my horsemen if ya like
Holy crap, Feature, you weren't kidding when you said that this one is dying. I figured it'd just go on without me. Well, lets figure something else out here to get things going again. What is the current status on the Avengers? X-Men? Fan Four (I'm assuming the mission I planned out hasn't happened yet). Lets bounce around some ideas and get things started.
I'll be joining up as Namor. I have a question, though. If he attacks the surface, the Avengers or FF going to come fight him?
Matt Murdock grew up in the streets of Hells Kitchen, one of New Yorks toughest, most crime ridden neighborhoods. He never knew his mother, and in all actuality isnt sure what happened to her as his father, a down on his luck boxer named Jack Murdock, Battlin Jack, would never reveal her fate. Jack had come up the hard way in life. His mother died giving birth, and his father was an abusive drunk. Hitting the streets at 15 years old, he found fighting as not only a means of survival, but also quick cash. Though a noble cause at first, he soon found himself using his fighting abilities as an enforcer/collector for an up and coming crime syndicate. Many times over the years Jack has tried to leave the thug life behind, but he has never found any permanent escape. Not wanting his son to end up like him, Jack hides sinister job from his son, using a cover story of having a job working the docks while using his enforcer money, and what earnings he can still garner by boxing, to send Matt to an upscale private school in hopes of giving Matt a leg up on succeeding in life.
Matt prospers in his educational career, but Hells Kitchen is not a place of understanding and forgiveness. The neighborhood youth resents Matt and his high scale education, seeing the boy as thinking hes better than everyone else. At one time a timid boy, the older bullies tagged him with the nickname Daredevil as a cruel joke. As Matt entered his teens, he began to secretly train his body and mind, claiming to stay later at school while actually hanging around seedy gyms and back alleys, learning all he could about fighting. At one of the gyms he frequented, he met a blind man simply called Stick, who took a shining to Matt and took him under his wing.
Coming home from school one day, Matt sees and elderly man, burdened down by an armful of groceries, trip and fall into the street, right into the path of an oncoming truck. Thinking quickly, Matt rushes out into the street, pushing the man to safety and though the truck has time to swerve, the sudden change in motion upends to trailer, spilling the contents out onto the street. Matt is splashed in the eyes with the fluid from one of the barrels, a toxic by-product. At the hospital, Matt and his father are informed that Matt will never see again and while the owner of the truck, Fisk Corporations, offered to cover any and all expenses, Jack strangely refuses. Matt himself also hides a secret now, changed forever by the accident.
When Matt finally graduated from high school, despite his handicap, and earned a full scholarship to Columbia Law School, Jack finally saw the opportunity to put his days of crime behind him once and for all. His boxing career seeing a resurgence, Jack quickly saw himself in line to contend for the world title and regain. When the FBI came knocking to ask about his cloudy past, they offered Jack a full pardon if he would cooperate as an informant a give up the names of anyone he had worked for. On the eve of his world title fight in Las Vegas, and just a week from having to appear in court, Jack Murdock was killed when a limo he was riding in to the fight weigh-in exploded.
Matt, heartbroken and not understanding why his father would be a target for murder, finished law school top of his class, and has just opened his own law firm with his college roommate Franklin Foggy Nelson. Seeking to improve the world and protect the innocent, and to prevent anyone else suffering the tragedies he has, Matt fights for truth by day in the courtrooms, but knows all to well that will not be enough. Soon though, in the night skies about New York and Hells Kitchen, evil will meet its new enemy, as the devil himself has escaped from Hell.
) I really don't have high hopes for this RPG surviving...
I'm not sure what I want to do.
On the one hand, I could stick with Colossus and do Excalibur.
On the other, I could switch back to Johnny and do FF.
On the third hand,huh:
