Asperion Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Inspired by the Urban Fantasy Novel thread, I am going to bring in the idea of being trapped in a comic. As before, lets have all those crazy - er great - ideas coming. (The crazier the better ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizza Man Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Re: If I wind up in a comic book . . . I will only join established hero teams cause the trendy new ones like to hike sales with titles like: "In this issue, a hero dies." I will have good useful powers unlike the Red Bee (who can control a few bees). Red Bee was killed in an issue titled, "In this issue, a hero dies." If I am a villain, I will not rob a bank in a city with 200 heroes. A small town bank will do. Or better yet, a Caribbean bank that launders Mob money will do (just as long as I have a secret ID, the mob can't touch me). The important thing is I won't commit crimes in the city I live in, which will be the city with 200 heroes. I might even put on a different costume and fight crime in that city so no one will suspect me. As a matter of fact when I commit a crime, I will have a new costume and a new name for each crime I commit (anti-Punisher measure). Never ever will I commit a crime in Gotham or Metropolis. And no matter how tempting, I will never team up with a villain who commits crimes in one of those cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Re: If I wind up in a comic book . . . First order of business is to figure out if it's MY comic (Like Superman) or if I'm a sidekick (Like Robin) or a peripheral player (Like Jimmy Olsen). If it turns out I have superpowers then I need to come up with a cool costume and gimmick. What's that? I spew sewage from my navel? This is going to take longer than I thought.

Shadow Hawk Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Re: If I wind up in a comic book . . . 1. I will avoid becoming a hero or heroine's love interest. I want to live, thank you. 2. I will avoid becoming a hero's sidekick. See #1. 3. Normal humans who live the longest seem to be supportive of heroes (Aunt May, Willy Lumpkin) or minor nuisances (J. Jonah Jameson). I will endeavor to move into one of those positions. 4. If I have any choice in my powers, 'cool' ones will be high on my list. These will result in me never dying permanently, and a string of beautiful girlfriends. 5. If I am a villian, I will also endeavor to be the hero who most often confronts me. To use a example from one of my campaigns, the villianous Zombie Master was always stopped by the heroic Crimson Mage, with no one ever figuring out they were the same person with illusion powers. No one bothered hunting the Zombie Master, because the Crimson Mage was dealing with him, while at the same time it was rare to ask the Crimson Mage for assistance because he was too busy hunting the Zombie Master. 6. I will read and heed this entire list, as appropriate to my position in the comicverse: http://www.sff.net/paradise/overlord.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to live' date=' thank you.[/quote'] How will you know? SECRET identity, remember? 2. I will avoid becoming a hero's sidekick. See #1. Well, this is easier. You'll be able to recognize the hero when he's in costume, at least. 3. Normal humans who live the longest seem to be supportive of heroes (Aunt May, Willy Lumpkin) or minor nuisances (J. Jonah Jameson). I will endeavor to move into one of those positions. Again, how will you know? Well, okay, you could get a job that lets you become an acquaintance of a hero with a public identity (Willy Lumpkin), or just pick a hero at random to rag on (see Jameson, J. Jonah for pointers). But the Aunt May role? Either you have it or you don't. 4. If I have any choice in my powers, 'cool' ones will be high on my list. These will result in me never dying permanently, and a string of beautiful girlfriends. Oh come on. EVERY hero dies at some point. They just don't STAY dead.
