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

[White_Howling]

Every superteam needs a name, don'tcha know? It's rule #148 of the comic book hand....book. Yes, that'll do nicely.

I'm actually semi serious.

Why do the JLA have a name for their team? They just do. No real reason for it other than a common label for people to refer to them by.

young justice was on those super-heroes teams that were rarely called by their team name that by the public.

JLA should have just been called the Justice League

 

[SuperFerret]

Oh, btw, Green Lantern, for having Arsenal engage the Joker's team in battle, and thus delaying Grodd's release, I will have him eat Roy's daughter. Just thought it was fair to give you an advance warning.

 

[Green Lantern]

... While taking on the whole JSA? She is in THEIR house ya know

I wouldn't be alone, no, not at all. And I think Grodd could put up a hell of a fight against the JSA before eventually going down.

 

[Green Lantern]

But none the less he'd go down before they'd let him within a mile of Lian

It's just, the villains we have don't seem like the types who would care if the group had a name or not. I mean, I think Lex has more important things to worry about than coming up with a snappy name.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I think The Joker would definitely appreciate the irony of being the figurehead of a group called The Order, since he represents chaos.

On the subject of Arsenel, I don't have a problem having a little fight. But may I request that you don't destroy my ice-cream van? I intend to use it as part of a running joke throughout the early part of the season, as I continue to fill it with various villains. Plus, let's just say it's going to be instrumental in getting into The Slab...

 

[Keyser Soze]

I would rather this season their wasn’t a single mayor threat that made all the other villains schemes invalid.

Don't worry, the arc we are planning isn't just one big mega-event that will overshadow everything else.

And ironically enough, Ra's al Ghul has actually indirectly helped further Joker & Luthor's scheme in a big way with his assassination of The President. All will be revealed soon enough...

 

[Red]

Is there a Deathstroke?

rex applied but hasn't posted yet.

 

[Red]

How about the …the pure dag nasty evil gang.

No, in all seriousness I don’t think the Order would suit the gang as a name. Because its not like Luthors trying to bring order.

 

[Red]

That’s ok then I just don’t want it be like the Unity arc again.

And ironically enough, Ra's al Ghul has actually indirectly helped further Joker & Luthor's scheme in a big way with his assassination of The President. All will be revealed soon enough...

Now you have intrigued me. Is Joker going to run for President? lol.

And MaskedMan Ra’s group is called the League of Assassins; it was called the League of Shadows in Batman Begins. I think they thought “Assassins” was too strong a word for a PG-13.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

How about calling the group The Outfit? Has a bit of an organized crime ring to it.
Or maybe the Syndicate?
Or, for something more corny, the Superhero Revenge Squad?

Or mabey we shouldn't worry about a name. Really, none of our villains seem like people who would care about a team name.

You just kind of proved my point by referring to them as Young Justice. Months from now, if you want to talk about this arc, what are you going to call it by if it doesn't have a name? "Those Evil Guys Who Teamed Up That Time"?

Even if you rarely use the name, whenever you do use it, people'll know what you're talking about. Take the "Dark Alliance" for instance.

It's just, the villains we have don't seem like the types who would care if the group had a name or not. I mean, I think Lex has more important things to worry about than coming up with a snappy name.

History disagrees with you.

Grodd is an on/off member of the Rogues, Lex has been a member of the Injustice Gang before and also, nobody questioned him starting the Secret Society recently (which about a zillion villains are a part of, and Joker also wanting to be a member).

How about the …the pure dag nasty evil gang.

No, in all seriousness I don’t think the Order would suit the gang as a name. Because its not like Luthors trying to bring order.

I think you misinterpreted the word "Order." In this context, it's a synonym of the word society. He's not trying to bring order; he's a member of an order.

I LOVE the Superhero Revenge Squad. That kicks ass!

And it's (partially) original and new to the RPG. I'm sold on that one . Anyone else?

I could edit so I only took out one tire and didn't send you rolling, just sliding into the ditch if that works better?

 

[Harlekin]

Keyser already re-inflated the tires.

I prefer the Syndicate myself for that little group.

 

[Green Lantern]

Oops missed that. Must be one advanced Ice Cream Truck though..

 

[Red]

It doesn't seem to fit in that context either in my opinion. The Order seems to me it would go with the name of something old, well controled and respected I think Luthor would see the group as more of an organization or a business. But thats just my opinion. Personally i like Blaze's Syndicate suggestion.

 

[SuperFerret]

It'd be cool if the Joker thought it up and suggested it to Lex, who just replies, "Fine, fine, whatever. We have much more pressing issues to deal with now."

Therefore everyone's happy, we'll have a cheesy name, but most members won't like it or just ignore it. But it's there.

I vote for the SRS.

 

[Batman]

SRS for me,too.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I prefer something a little more classy/mysterious/sinister. I would have gone for The Alliance, but that was the name of the villain team in Season 2.

I say The Syndicate sounds like the best suggestion.

 

[Red]

The Alliance of Evil?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Well, I'm glad that you like some of my suggestions.

Personally though, whatever the name is, I'll be happy. The main thing is that we all work together to tell the best damn story this RPG has seen.

 

[Spike_x1]

Alright, we can go with the Syndicate when we're trying to be serious and intimidating ("Our Syndicate is forming nicely") and we can go with the SRS when seriousness isn't an issue or if Grundy or the Joker are ever talking about it.

Joker: "So Lex, how's our Superhero Revenge Squad coming?"

Lex: "Joker, don't ever refer to us by that name again."

[insert Joker constantly calling the team the SRS for the rest of the arc and Lex grinding his teeth]
