The "Ultimate DC" RPG Signup/OOC Thread

[Mr. Terrific]

No, no. But that's a good idea thanks. I was going to make him Michael Holt, only white. Is that ok?

 

[The Question]

I suppose. Don't see why not.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Another question, has the DCU eve actually had the Ultimate treatment? If not, then what's the point of all of this?

Actually, yes they were. Wizard Magazine featured the article of the current heroes Ultimatized, but unfortunately the series' for the characters never made it to shelves.

The heroes featured were:

Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
The Flash
Green Lantern

And there was one for the JLA with the heroes I listed, which also had The Atom who was a female and Martian Manhunter. There was another one about the Teen Titans, where they served as opposed rivals toward the JLA.

 

[The Question]

Some of the ideas were rather good, and some (in my opinion) sucked major ass. We don't have to follow those ideas, although some choose to take inspiration from them.

 

[Nightwing 52]

I think the Wonder Woman one was the worst of them all. The Flash idea, though was one I enjoyed.

 

[The Question]

I liked most of the Flash one, although I didn't like the deal with time traveling Wally. They should have introduced Zoom instead.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Yes, that part of it was really not needed in my opinion. They could of just had Iris and Wally like in the article, but as you said just introduce Zoom except make him slightly different than his DCU counterpart.

I liked the Flash suit design as well. And the Green Lantern story they made wasn't all that bad.

 

[The Question]

I never read Green Lantern. My idea for Ultimate Zoom (which Green Lantern has partially based his idea off of Zoom) is that he was Wally's best friend growing up, and later became a biochemist. One of his experiments in preformance enhancements accidentally lead to Barry becoming the Flash. He served as Barry'd confidant for a while. Having always been jelous of Barry, that Jelousy grew into a stalker like obsession as Barry's fame grew. He eventually recreated Barry's accident, created a reverse colored version of the protective gear Barry wears while running, and tried to kill him at a public event in his honor.

 

[Batman]

The Ultimate Batman thing in Wizard didn't seem that different from what was in mainstream continuity, really. Bruce sees his parents die. He trains. He comes back. He becomes Batman. He forms an allieance with Gordon and Dent. Same old thing.

The only major differences with that was the fact that Gordon was Commisioner, Harvey being enaged to Barbara, and the Joker, who was more of an anti-hero than villian.

Really, I was sort of let down, especially when this went with the cool design they had. They could've done more with it... Though I admit it would've been neat to see these titles on the shelves.

 

[The Question]

I didn't like their idea fo The Joker. Don't make him a vigilante. That means that he actually cares about other people. The Joker doesn't care about anyone but himself, his crappy life, and his own personal brand of humor.

 

[Purple Man]

It's kind of weird how sometimes it's the villains that shouldn't be messed with.

Joker and Luthor are pretty much perfect the way they are. There's not much you'd want to change about them.

 

[twylight]

No, no. But that's a good idea thanks. I was going to make him Michael Holt, only white. Is that ok?

Why? You can't play a black man?

Are you going to do anything different with him? Tweak him in anyway?

 

[Red]

Do we have a Joker?

 

[Batman]

MaskedManJRK is playing The Joker.

...He seriously needs to post though. I'll send him a PM.

 

[The Question]

Well, were I writing Ultimate Luthor, I'd change him a bit, but not as much change him majorly as play up on an aspect of his personality and characterization that I think needs more atention.

 

[twylight]

Alright...I'M ready!


Batman the post after your next one I'm bringing in Helena and Josh.

 

[The Question]

Just so you guys know, after tonight, I'll have no internet access until late sunday night. No one bunny me, please.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Batman the post after your next one I'm bringing in Helena and Josh.

Ok, no problem.

 

[Purple Man]

I can see Mr.Terrific as a Jeaparody champion. Doing game shows and the like to amass a huge fortune.

Mr.Terrific is one of those characters that I wouldn't want to tackle because it would take so much research to make him come across as super intelligent. He has to be smart about everything he does.

Captain Marvel I would see not getting along with Superman. He would think that the Kryptonian was too untrained, undeserving of his powers, and as the only person with the strength to take down Kal would keep a close eye on him. He would have a certain kinship with Diana since they both get their powers from the gods.

Just some ideas.

 

[Red]

Mr.Terrific you need to write an application and then wait for approval before you post in the in character thread.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Terrific, I told you not to post in the RPG unless you had an application up last night when you PMed me. Why did you do it anyway?

In your post, you have to put quotations on the people who are talking to you, not just the character you're playing. You made it look like you had him talking to himself toward the end, when it was his associate.

 

[Trigger]

Hey guys, I was thinking of having a Maxwell Lord cameo in my later posts, but I wanted to see if anyone else has plans for him. Even though its only a cameo, I'd hate to have him appear later and step on someone's toes.

 

[Logan Howlett]

We don't have a Blue Bettle yet do we? I was wondering if you guys were interested, I might apply.

 

[The Question]

Well, the idea me and MB were working on is that Blue Beetle would be a member of The Outsiders when Batman puts them together.

 

[Red]

Q you got anything planned with Supes at the moment?
