Spoiler

Sue flinched as the desk slammed into a group of the soldiers.

"Where the hell are Ben and Dane!?" She screams over the sound of the discharging plasma weapons. Through the quickly intensifying smoke the Invisible Woman spots Fury grab the child in his arms and retreat out the door he came.

She looks back at Namor who was more than occupied with a group of Hulkbusters. "Fury is making a run for it!" Sue managed to get out before a loud bang and a blinding flash signalled the arrival of yet more SHIELD agents.

"Down on the ground! Dr Storm get on the ground now!" They yelled, guns pointed in her direction. Sue didn't listen. An invisible forcefield materialized in the middle of the group and expanded outward quickly, batting them away like flies.

Running down the corridors out of Reed's Lab she caught sight of the cycloptic director of SHIELD and created another forcfield, this time enveloping Fury's head.

"Let him go or I'll crush your skull!" She cried new tears forming in her eyes. Fury's face was calm as ever.

"Susan, I'm not sure you realize just what you're doing."

"SHUT UP! I'm sick of it, you and your god-complex, walking around like the king of the world. You're not! You're just a well-paid bully!" She screamed striding toward him her hand raised closing the forcefield a little more.

"STORM!" He shouts in warning as the bubble gets dangerously close to pressing down around his head. "You do this and that's it for you and your family. You'll be arrested within minutes, sent to the Triskellion to rot. You don't want that, not for yourself or your brother or your father."

"What I want is for you to give me my baby!"

"This... thing should be destroyed, you really want what happened a few weeks ago to happen again? It could cause another outbreak."

"Reed can fix-" Sue stammered, her hand wavering.

"Richards is gone! He can't help you!" The two fell silent for a moment all that could be heard was the commotion coming from the labs and even that was dying down.

"I tell you what. We either take Namor... or we take the child. Your choice..."

Damn near made me pick up Reed again...maybe next season...
MVP: Syn

 

[Gallagher]

Wow, thanks for the best post Cats

 

[Mr. Marko]

Best Hero: Angel (V160) - Giving us a look into the heart of the man who just had his true love kidnapped was a big job, but V160 made it both believable and compelling. RUNNERS-UP: Spider-Man (Syn), Iron Man (PP)

Best Villain: Cable (Syn) - This was such a well thought out arc in general. And Syn showed exactly how far-reaching this man's hatred could reach. So awesome.

Best Developed Character: Dazzler (Noon) - RPing with Noon on this was absolutely a treat. At times I felt bad for screwing up Ali this bad, but I knew that Noon would make it wicked interesting and cool. Kudos! RUNNERS-UP: Nightcrawler (Tang), Spider-Man/Ricochet (Syn)

Best Multi-Character Poster: Venom160 (Angel, Tarantula, Hellion) - V160 has done really really awesome stuff with his characters, and each one is very human and believable. His writing has a Bendis feel (USM Bendis ), which, to clarify, is a good thing. RUNNER-UP: Syn(Mercenary), SenseiofCheese

Best Fight: Cable vs X-Men (All involved) - From the crazy dinner fight, to the airforce rumble, to the insane conclusion with the man that just wouldn't die, this was one of the greatest fights that this RPG has seen. RUNNERS-UP: Ultimates Vs Surfer/Azrael,

Best Storyline: Cable (All involved) - Like I've already said, this was an epic tale that spanned the globe. RUNNERS-UP: Nexus (All involved), Baby Franklin (Gallagher)

Best Team/Duo: The X-Men (All involved) - This team is doing great things, and the previous arc showed their prowess on the battlefield. RUNNERS-UP:Ali & Warren (Noon & V160), Ultimates (All involved)

Best Newcomer: Tangerine (Nightcrawler, Carnage) - The scene with Kurt Vs the Airplaces was awesome! I think Tang's done a better job at writing Banshee that it was done in UXM, which by itself was awesome. RUNNERS-UP: Absonic (Wasp, Giant Man)

Best Post: Will Decide Later...

MVP: Syn (Mercenary) - He's done great things with Spidey and the X-Men universe. Not to mention his great work as the newest mod. Kudos. RUNNERS-UP: Venom160

 

[Saved]

Hey, I just wanted to pop my head in and say thanks for all the kind words Cats, Gallagher, and Marko. Nothing is more satisfying after working really hard on an arc then to see it was well liked by others aswell. And, to be honest, I really think this was the best season so far. We've had so much happen and so many characters have grown and evolved. Really, really good stuff everyone.

I don't think I'll be able to get my awards up tonight, but they will be up in a day or so.

 

[Mr. Marko]

So guys, I'm considering dropping Forge... Its seems that the Thunderbolts are dying, and I've spent this season trying to keep them alive. Or maybe just have Forge head off on his own adventures next season. If anybody would like to have him around next season, PM me with your ideas. I'm going to send a PM to a few of ya with some ideas.

 

[Saved]

Marko, keep me up to date with the T-bolts, if you don't mind.

 

[Venom160]

thanks for the props my friends, it's much appreciated. Sadly I won't be able to get my awards up tonight. I'll definitely get them up tomorrow.

 

[Mr. Marko]

So...unless we have Feature or Byrd show up here soon, the interaction I PM'd several people about for the entire team will not be happening as planned. Sorry for any inconvenience, but I don't have faith in the idea without their dedicated help.

 

[The Tangerine]

Thanks for the awards guys! I'll try to get mine up soon.

 

[Mr. Marko]

I thought you guys were getting your awards up! Sheesh!

 

[Matt Murdock]

I'm dropping Scarlet Spider.

 

[Blacklight]

Okay, Here goes nothing. If I'm approved, I'll drop Kitty for Venom to use as an NPC.


ULTIMATE MARVEL RPG SIGN-UP FORM

Screen Name: Blacklight

Character you would like to play: Peter Parker, The Amazing... Ricochet?

Powers and a brief description of the character in proper English: Peter Parker was just your average teenage nerd attending Midtown High School, until he was bitten by a spider that had been enhanced by the prototype super soldier drug, Oz, and given the arachnid-like abilities of a spider. At first, he used his powers for selfish reasons, and one night when Peter had the oppurtunity to stop a robber, he didn't. That same robber managed to kill Peter's Uncle Ben, which had caused Peter a tremendous amount of guilt for not acting responsibly, and so a hero was born. Using his uncle's advice of "With great power comes great responsibilty" to guide him, Peter became Spider-Man to protect the citizens of New York so they do not share the same fate as his beloved Uncle.

Recently, after a run-in with Nick Fury, Parker had been forced to give up being Spider-Man, so he began to try and live a life free of responsibility, but his beloved girlfriend Mary Jane Watson did not approve of this, so using a new homemade costume made by MJ herself, he took on a new Superhero identity: The Remarkable Ricochet.

Peter/Spider-Man/Ricochet has the powers of enhanced agility and strength, adhesion to any surface, and a spider sense to detect danger. He also has wrist mounted web shooters, and is also a natural genius in the fields of science and physics.


Three reasons why you have chosen that character:
1. I'm a big fan of Spider-Man comics and other Spidey media, and to play him in an RPG would be a great honor
2. I'm more of an Ultimate Spidey fan than 616, so I'd much rather love to play Ultimate Spider-Man.
3. This RPG needs a better class of RPer, and I'm gonna give it to 'em.

What can you bring to this game? I want to write a Spider-Man that can hopefully live up to the legends that wrote him in all the RPGs until now. I'll completely stay true to the character and not do anything that can take away from who he is.

How many times do you intend on posting a DAY IN the RPG: As much as possible

Do you know how to post pictures on the hype boards:



Provide a small sample post for your character, about 4 paragraphs with at least one line of dialouge:

(Not in continuity...)


Wow. Such a beautiful day today in New York City. The sun is shining. The wind is cool and refreshing, and the predominately natural scent of automotive exhaust and 12-inch frankfurters is barely noticeable. It feels calm. Serene. Tranquil. Something I rarely get to experience, given what I do. It feels good. Almost makes me want to sing...

"Don't stop! Believin'!"

As I rocked on to the Journey that played in my head and continued swinging on the fibrous thread of web that I held firmly in my head and between my fingers, I felt a strange feeling in the back of my neck. One that caused me to come to an abrupt halt. It was my spider-sense, and it was going off like the Tin-Man walking through a metal detector.

I gently let go of the line and clung myself to the side of a nearby building to notice my surroundings, taking in every detail. Looking for any irregularity, and that's when I heard it. An alarm. It sounded like a schoolbell, and believe me, I know all too well what that sounds like. Except it was louder, and much more alerting, like it's coming from...

The bank. Luckily it's only a few feet away...

Jumping off of the reflective window, I pressed my middle two fingers into the buttons in the palm of my glove, and watched as the strands of webbing all weaved into one larger line before adhering to the nearest balcony, and with a tremendous amount of momentum, I leapt off the web at the near-top of my swing arc and felt the rush as the wind blew against my masked face, before landing gently on the roof of the bank, before I crawled off the ledge and down the side of the wall, and utilizing the element of surprise, I managed to peer through a window to get a good look of what's going on.

"Well lookie who we have here..."

* * *​

Can you believe this guy? It seems like every other day he's trying to make his big score, but I'm always right around the corner...

"Everyone back up! Now!"

BOOM!!

"I said, Back the F*** up! I'm not kidding around this time!"

If there is one guy, just one person that I actually hope to see at a bank robbery, it would have to be Herman Schultz, the "Shocker". The guy is so lame, that every time we meet, it ends with him in webs. And lucky me that it's, once again, he who has set off the bank's alarms, and lucky him that his freindly neighborhood Spider-Man happened to be around today to crash the party.

"Pleasure doing business with you. Now if you'll excuse me--"

"Omigod, Taylor Hicks! Fancy seeing you here! Can I have your autograph? I'm a big Idol fan..." I announced as I lowered myself from a webline clinging to the ceiling like a Duncan yo-yo, obstructing his path to the front door.

"Spider-Man!" The crowd of bystanders called out, alerting the Shocker of my prescence.

"Spider-Man! Wh-what are you doing here?"

"I had to make a transaction. It's incredible how much web-shooters cost these days. I blame it on the poor economy..."

"Enough talk, web-head. Get out of my way before I crush you like the bug you are..."

"I agree. No more talking. Let's polka!"

THWIP!

Before he could blink, I shot a small line of web at the dufflebag of cash he had in his right hand, and managed to rip it from his gloved fingers. He looked down at his empty hand before looking to see me gone, clinging to the ceiling and webbing the dufflebag to it. I wasn't worried too much about how the staff will get it down, because the web will disolve in about an hour anyways. Plenty of time for me to take this clown to the cleaners...

Before I got too deep into thought however, my spider sense went off in time for me to dodge one of his vibro-blasts. I then jumped from the ceiling to a nearby pillar, and looked at the Shocker shooting wildly like a maniac. He's gonna bring this place down, and there's too many hostages in here for me to allow him the time he needs to do that.

"C'mon, Hermy. Catch the birdie!" I taunted. He then shot out another deadly discharge, which to his chagrin I again easily avoided.

"Hold still, Spider!"

"God your aim is worse than Dick Cheney's..."

"Ha-ha. Funny, wall-crawler. Let's see how much you laugh when I crush your windpipe..."

"You'll have to catch me first!"

The Shocker then became so enraged that he launched three more vibro-bullets, and with each one I avoided, I came closer and closer to where he stood, which caused him to move back towards the wall and infront of another huge support pillar. Then when he was distracted by my insults, I simultaneously fired two lines of web at him, which had both missed his head by centimeters...

"Hah! You missed, web-head."

"Wasn't aimin' at ya..." I retorted with a smirk, tugging on the pillar behind him and watching it collapse on top of him. It knocked him out cold...

"Night night, Shocky."

In the next moment, I was gone. Swinging throught the skyline of the Big Apple, leaving behind a webbed up supervillain, and a note attatched for the police that read...

I'll be getting my app up for spider-man this evening.
