[Saved]

Dance club from what I wrote. But it's classy .

MST3K4Ever, I do apologize for bunnying Giganta, but since you haven't been online in about a month, I'm not entirely sure if you're still active or not, and I needed Giganta's interference to move along the next part of the WW/Kobra plot.

 

[Spike_x1]

Well, it's that time of the year when finals are kicking my ass, so I've been falling behind in all three of the RPGs I'm in, despite my previous optimism that I'd have time to catch up on readings and posting. At this point I seem to have some free time starting on Thursday afternoon, going on into the weekend, so that's when I'm tentatively planning on getting caught up in all three games.

Thank God the new season of CAH has been relatively slow so far.

...

BTW, join CAH.

 

[Byrd Man]

**** you! :heart:

 

[sabetoonth]

**** you! :heart:

see how understanding we are?

 

[MST3K 4ever]

I made a post for Giganta in the Wonder Woman/Flash conflict.

Now trying to figure out what to do with The Atom for the moment.

 

[ShaneHelms]

Wrong place. I'm a fool.

 

[Spike_x1]

Huh. I just discovered that Smallville just did their own version of the Silver Banshee.

*runs off to cringe and watch the episode to compare notes and hope that they did something right*

EDIT: Aaaand, I am apparently 100% lost on the ongoing plots of Zod (I guess) and the various romances, since none of them existed back when I stopped watching the show.

Don't bring your fanboy rhetoric in here.

 

[Spike_x1]

Christ, is Clark still going on with this "Blur" bulls**t?

Christ, is Clark still going on with this "Blur" bulls**t?

Like someone else in CAH we know?

 

[Spike_x1]

So I'm sitting there, wondering why Silver Banshee was a ghost instead of a cursed human, until I eventually decide to just run with it. I decided that I couldn't care less about Ollie and Chloe bumping uglies, but that Lois and Clark's relationship was awesomely cutesy-wootsy.

I don't know whether the show has spent any time developing the whole "wow, I'm just as susceptible to magical attacks as the next guy" revelation on Clark's part, but I was pleasantly surprised that the Banshee almost killed him, amazingly keeping in line with her original comic incarnation before she became just another miscellaneous "sonic scream" character in the comics. Color me confused over more or less enjoying an episode of this show.

Of course, it certainly helps that the characters were away from Metropolis, and therefore were also away from the stupid "Blur" identity for most of the episode.

Did you see the JSA episode?

 

[Spike_x1]

No. I gave up hope on the JSA episode after I gave the show another shot with the episode "Injustice," because it had the Parasite. After I saw what they did to Rudy (as well as the fact that they killed Neutron offscreen) and finally managed to stop crying, I vowed not to watch Smallville again.

It just so happens that I was feeling uncharacteristically optimistic this morning, combined with my current Silver Banshee-y state of mind with the current UDC storyarc, so I watched her episode of Smallville.

Maybe I'll get around to watching the JSA one someday, but not today.

 

[Spike_x1]

Where the Hellen Keller did GL's post go?

 

[Byrd Man]

I think our resident pointy eared dictator deleted it.

Rise up and revolt!

 

[Batman]

I moved it to the World Of Heroes OOC.

Felt it belonged there more than it did here.

 

[Spike_x1]

Since Syn's attention was focused on this thread at the time, maybe GL thought it best to post his question here. Maybe Syn is actually a mentally challenged monkey and can only concentrate on one thread at a time, and GL was only trying to be considerate. You ever think of that, huh? Huh?!

God, you can be so hurtful sometimes.

 

[Batman]

It's a gift.

 

[Green Lantern]

I will forgive him this time, because Syn did see the post after it was moved.

Character Application

.Screen name: Catman_prb

.Character you wish to portray: General Dru-Zod

.Hero, villain, or walking the line?: Villain. Oh, what a villain

.Powers and physical attributes: As a kryptonian, once he's absorbed the rays of a yellow sun, he gains the powers of flight, near complete invulnerability, enhanced senses and lung capacity, and immeasurable strength that can move planets. Until then he is in peak condition with top military training from the days of Kryton.

.Origin and backstory (as you see it): General Zod was in charge of the Kryptonian military during the days of Old Krypton and was at the head of a campaign that crossed the cosmos. Finally the Kryptonian Armada came upon the end of the universe, the Source Wall itself. The sight turned the Kryptonians insane and the Armada turned on itself. Emerging from the mayhem victorious, due in no small part to the tactical computer B.R.A.I.N.I.A.C, Zod turned his flagship towards his final destination; home. In his insanity, Zod launched an assualt on Krypton itself and it was only ended when the chief scientist, Jor-El, used a super-weapon that opened up a rift into the Phantom Zone itself. Zod's ship was sucked in before the breach was closed.

.The burning question - Why this character?:
I feel like playing the grand villain for once - this does in fact seem like the best opportunity to do it. And who would really turn down the chance to play Zod?

.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: Ultimate Zod will be a conflicted character. On the one hand he'll be a complete monster, on the other hand he's just a man who's been driven insane by what he's seen. He's not going to be a simple smash 'em up one-shot villain, but a well planned, thorough, evil genius.

.What do you believe you can bring to the RPG?: A formidable villain and a dedicated player.

.Provide a sample post as the character you wish to portray, in three paragraphs or more:

Apokolips

Granny Goodness swatted the head of one of her many underlings as they crawled around the laboratory.

"Desaad!" the old harpy shrieked. The cloaked figure hunched over the control panel turned around, glaring at the woman.

"Yes Granny?" he asked, with a well-oiled charm.

"How long?" she hissed, as the many underlings scrabbled about on the ground, soldering wires and circuit boards. One group was working on what looked like a long metal arm with a satellite dish on the end of it.

"Not long now," he said with an infernal patience, as he turned back to the control panel "A few minutes at most,"

There was a crash as the door to the laboratory was blasted open. A dozen emerald clad men swarmed into the room. The Green Lanterns spread out into a circle, restraining the guards who had moved away from their positions at the door. Granny hissed and backed away from the inter-galactic policemen and towards Desaad.

"Granny Goodness, you are accused of breaking passage Br178 of the Betearan Pact," the lead Lantern shouted, leveling his ring at the two advisors.

"Kilowog, a pleasure as always," the leader of the Female Furies said pleasantly, turning to Darkseid's advisor "Desaad," she hissed.

"Done," he said, moving his hands away from the console with a satisfied grin. There was a loud humming sound and an electric blue energy ran up and down the large metal arm.

"What have you done?" Kilowog snarled.

A pulse of blue energy was fired off into the space over Apokolips, blinding the eyes of all those who saw it. For a second nothing happened, and Kilowog looked vaguely triumphant. Then there was a blink as the blue pulse reached it's limit, which the group saw on the viewing screen. As they watched a white expanse opened up in the blackness of space. Slowly, inch by inch, a black ship edged it's way out of the white expanse and into the space over Apokolips. Kilowog's jaw dropped and Granny Goodness eyed the ship hungrily.

"Open a comms channel," she shouted to Desaad.

There was a massive burst of static and the glass roof of the laboratory was smashed into pieces. The viewers clasped their hands over their ears, screaming as the sound drilled through their heads. The glass of the viewing panel shattered, sending shards across the room. At least one Lantern collapsed to the ground bleeding from his ears, nose and eyes. Granny Goodness staggered over to the control panel, shoving Desaad out of the way.

"Turn it off!" she screamed, banging her hands on the console.

"I can't!" Desaad shouted back.

"What in the name of Oa have you done?" Kilowog breathed as blood started to flow from his nose.

As quickly as the noise had started, it stopped. Darkseid's advisors looked at each other.

"Do you think it's gone?" Granny asked quietly.

"KNEEL BEFORE ZOD,"

.Do you know how to post pictures on the Hype?:

 

[Bounce]

Yay! Zod's back!

*goes back to being a fly on the wall plotting the downfall of Ultimate Catman*
