Homage Universe Characters

[humantorch101]

As I mentioned in my ideas for a Spider-Man thread, I am restarting my Homage Universe and throught it would be nice to share the characters. I have decided on the rules that all characters must be original, no direct translations from champions or mutants and masterminds and they must all be direct homages to DC/Marvel characters.

 

I will be posting my previous characters as wel llike the Raven and Astroman.

Height: 1.75 m	Hair: Brown

Appearance: Paul Pender always looked the ultimate school nerd. Since gaining his powers he has gained much solid muscle but manages to hide this well under baggy clothes in school he has longish brown hair and wears glasses. In costume Kid Amazing wears a silvery and black costume with the black being in the design of clouds of billowing darkness he wears silver boots and gloves and his cowl is also silver. His chest has a stylised KA in gold.Personality: In his personal life Paul is still very unsure of himself and still lacking in confidence, All his school fears about being unpopular and geeky resurface and he is still being bullied quite reguarly. He is deeply besotted by Nicole Watts his schools head cheerleader who of course does not even know Paul exists but strangely is Kid Amazing's number one fan. His uncle Matt is a huge source of inspiration for Paul being a Gulf War veteran and hero and much of Matt's code of ethics and bravery have rubbed off on his teenage nephew. In costume Paul is the opposite seemingly very confident almost to the point of recklesness. Almost as if he is free of his everyday life and can truly be himself while in costume.Quote:"Now you See Me Now You Dont"Background: Paul Pender was his most famous high school geek. President of the chess club and Mr. internet he did not even try to to talk to girls, they did not even know he exsisted. He was bullied and ridiculed and that was a good day. His parents tried to make him more outgoing and social but nothing seemed to work, he only seemed truly happy around his uncle Matt who was a techinican at Astro Labs. One day Uncle Matt had good news he had got Paul a work placement at Astro Labs for a few weeks working under the famous Professor Hydra. Paul was soon helping Hydra with his experiments to tap into what Hydra called the Fifth Dimension. Paul soon found that Hydra's work was flawed and he was cuting dangerous corners. He tried to speak to Hydra but was dismissed as a foolish teenager. Paul accepted this as the great professor must know best. The day of the expirement turned into a terrible disaster. Paul's parents were their proud of their sons work, little did they know it would be their death. When Hydra started the expirement strange dark energies flowed into the room tearing a whole in the fabric of reality and building a bridge to the Dark Dimension. In a massive explosion everyone was either killed or thrown into the dimensional warp. Only Paul and Professor Hydra seemingly srvived but both were changed and altered by the dark energies forever. Since then Paul has served Freedom City as Kid Amazing with Professor Hydra being forever in the background as his arch nemesis.Powers/Tactics: Paul was changed by the conenction to the Dark Dimension becoming physically much more powerful gaining super human speed strength and endurance as well as the amazing ability to call on the Dark Dimension and manifest it in our universe for various effects. Paul is stil lquite inexperianced with his powers but so far can cover an area in darkness or project bolts or missiles of darkness for various effects. lastly he can also enter in and out of the dark dimension appearing to vansish and appear in another location. Al lthese powers are very tiring however and he is unable to keep up their effects for very long. Being a budding inventor and scientist he has a small gadget pool he can use to whip up minor effects when needed. Lastly Paul does not understand where his new found luck comes from but it always seems to help him when he needs it most.Campaign Use: Kid Amazing is the Homage Universe's version of Spider-Man. I did not want to use spider powers directly but instead went with something else which seemed a bit weird and strange. His role and personality however are pure Spider-Man. He is the cocky kid superhero who always seems to come up trumps and one of the most popular heroes in my universe.

Re: Kid Amazing

It didn't work because some board features -- like the ability to include working HTML -- have been turned off for security reasons. (Dan went into it in modest detail a while back.)

 

If you want to keep your spacing nice and neat, put vB code tags "CODE" around it, like this:
