Question about posting reworked characters

[Powerhouse]

Based on what some others have noted in their posts, is it against board policy to post reworkings of published characters? For example if I have this REALLY REALLY KEWL 1000 pt version of Foxbat, could I post it or does it fall under "must have legal claim to posted material?"

 

And yeah, no one really wants to see FB on 1000 pts.

 

I was thinking (after getting my Silver Age team done) to do two things:

 

1. Post higher point Champions with postulated addedums to their histories, ie what's happened since they started their super careers.

 

2. A new take on Firewing also. Rather than the alien gladiator thing, I was thinking of taking a page from DC's Spectre where he is the fallen Angel of Death, you know the same one who killed all of Egypt's firstborns and rained fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gamora.

 

Thanks for the help.

The official CU characters are the IP of Hero Games. We can't post full write ups without violating that IP.

 

A "Tribute" character would be fine.

Provided, of course, that that "tribute" doesn't use substantial portions of the original writeup as its basis.

 

You can read the specifics of Hero Games's policies on posting their IP anywhere on the Internet on this webpage. There have been those who claim that these policies apply only to other websites, not here on the Hero Games company site; but company folks have made it clear that they feel the same way about their IP posted to these public discussion forums, where anyone can read it for free.
