The "World of Heroes" DC RPG Season IV Signup/OOC Thread

[Spike_x1]

Although people have used aspects from the animated in the past... like the guy who played John Stewart way back when...

Yeah, but usually the animated versions have at least the same spirit and motives as the comic book versions. The DCAU and Smallville Brainiacs lacks that.

 

[trustyside-kick]

I like the STAS Braniac the most really.

 

[Saved]

The concepts I mean was his style of speach or look. His backround is not what I was talking about, I use comics for that one.

same here
i prefer the look and feel of the animated Cyborg
but as far as origin and facts go, i'll stay true to the comics

Ironic that there are two new people who join at the same time and both have the same idea lol.

well we are friends in real life
but that's beside the point
lol

Ah I see. Well, I agree with you guys on the whole TAS thing.

 

[Saved]

Actually, I convinced him to sign up. We are on the phone now. LOL

I find it hard to even begin to compare the two, they're so different. S:TAS Brainiac doesn't have a single thing in common with the comic book version. They pretty much just made up their own character instead of actually adapting one from the page.

Ironic that there are two new people who join at the same time and both have the same idea lol.

I think you mean coincidence, not irony.

 

[The Question]

I always prefered a Brainiac with a very cynical sense of humor and apreciation for Earth culture.

 

[Eddie Brock]

i also like Smallville incarnations
Braniac, Cyborg, Aquaman
they may not LOOK like their respected character, but their speech and actions always seem to fit well

The DCAU's Brainiac's actions and speech have never fit well with his namesake. Smallville's Brainiac at least has the right way of speaking, but his motives and actions are still waaaay off.

 

[SuperFerret]

The comics Brainiac is confusing as hell, at least the DCAU one is consistent.

yes, Smallville has it's oddballs
but i love Cyborg's line: "Milk..does a body good."

and who could forgot this foreshadow?
AC: You know Clark, you should join the Junior Lifeguard Association.
Clark: No thanks, I'm not ready for the JLA yet.

Yeah. I think Smallville got the closest to doing Brainiac's personality well. But I alwasy thought Brainiac's motivation was to make the unverse all clockwork and borg like under his control.

I cannot remember much of the Smallville Braniac. Could ya refresh my memory? Was that professor guy supposed to be Braniac this whole time or something? I forgot so much.

i thought Brainic's motivation was to accumluate all the knowledge in the universe

 

[Spike_x1]

Yeah, he was Professor Milton Fine in the show.

i thought Brainic's motivation was to accumluate all the knowledge in the universe

Nope. Comic book Brainiac is a would-be world conquerer. As I said before; an entirely different motivation.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Yeah, he was Professor Milton Fine in the show.Nope. Comic book Brainiac is a would-be world conquerer.

i must be thinking S:TAS Braniac again

 

[SuperFerret]

Yeah, he was Professor Milton Fine in the show.Nope. Comic book Brainiac is a would-be world conquerer.

Which is a dime-a-dozen motivation for a supervillain, if you ask me.

 

[The Question]

Which is a dime-a-dozen motivation for a supervillain, if you ask me.

True. I actually think the best motivation for Brainiac is the one in the Justice mini series. The only reason he wants to take over the world is because that's the way he was programed. It's instinct to him, the same way eating or wanting to stay alive is insticnt to us.

 

[Saved]

Yeah, comic Brainiac wants the galaxy under his control or "preservation" and he was created as a Spy by those dudes on Colo or Coluo. Something like that.

must suck for him to fail then
it's like denying us food

 

[The Question]

must suck for him to fail then

Exactly. He has developed his own personality. He's got a sense of humor and a good deal of respect for the cultures of the world he visits. But he simply has to bring them under his control. It's his nature. It's why he hates Superman so much. It would be like someone depriving you of your basic nececities for survival time and time again.



At least, that's the way it is in Justice.

Hey gang sorry I didn't get a post for Lex going last night. My computer decided to give me some "issues" last night and after 12:30am of being on with tech. support for a better part of the night I gave up for the night.

I finally talked to my brother-in-law and he helped me resolve the issues my computer was having.

I will make one more post for Lex this season from the White House and trust me it will be one of the best Lex posts I've ever done. (IMO)
