I don't have a solid answer, but there is a sharp divide between 1st through 5th edition and 6th edition. 
I don't think the polls as written here are really a reliable indicator because you get a lot of "I picked X because Y but I really would have preferred Z".  I play more D&D 5th than anything right now, but it is my least favorite RPG. 
 
I didn't see any navigation tabs, drop-downs or well anything navigation so I don't really know what you are trying to do.  But if it is intended to be something like the Forgotten Realms wiki, once you add something like their "Portals" to organize it a bit you may see some more participation.  Maybe add some templates for things like NPC's, Vehicles, Equipment and so on so things are standardized.  
 
But as for edition, my question is why are you worrying about whether it is in 6th or another version?  The flavor text/descriptive section doesn't care about edition.  Just provide a template for each version and require the files to contain their version in the file name.  Instead of "Mister Wicked" name they file "Mister Wicked [6ed]". 
Then encourage people to just submit stuff.  If I am a 5thR player and I see that the Villain I want is written for 6th, it will encourage me to make a 5thR conversion and post that one. 
Just a thought.
 
 

I loved the 80s. That movie is going to be full of nostalgia for me. 

Watched IN/spectre where the heroes have to battle a ghost conjured from the imagination and internet

Just noticed this comment.
 
I don't have any particular problem with death during character creation. I always used it as a tool for creating characters with above average characteristics.
 
Don't like the numbers you rolled? Scouts!

I feel like that is a false dichotomy. DC could have used Nolan's Gotham City as the basis for a shared universe even without Nolan directing beyond his three Batman films. It would have required a producer like Feige at the helm over at Warner Brothers with the vision to do that and with the mojo to secure Bale as Batman going forward, but they didn't.

They had a good actor IMO. But the character as written was probably the worst implemented concept since TV went to color. 
 
Also my opinion....

No disagreement here.
 
But it may be they (Marvel) realized the necessary ingredients.
 
People who actually like and enjoy the source material. 
 
Understanding that everything doesn't need to be grim dark gritty.
 
An honest good hero is OK.
 
Understanding that some things simply do not transition paper to the screen, but that doesn't mean you have to radically change the original concept.
 
Superhero movies are allowed to be fun.

You forgot an important two :
It's ok for heroes to be HEROES.
 
Not every hero is the same. One of the things I think MCU did a fantastic job of was recognizing that Superheroes could be a mega genre with sub genres of war movie, space opera, heist film and spy film.

sigh......   if you do not understand the concepts then there really is no point in continuing the conversation. 
 
 
 
Yes.  Exactly.
 
Even though many people here cannot discus anything without turning it into absolutes.
 
The occasional fudged roll is not different from adjusting an encounter on the fly. 
If the monsters are too easy you can bump up their stats or how many there are.  
 
If it is in the last scene and after several sessions it all comes down to the party all dying because I rolled a critical.  Well, I'm going to fudge the roll and not use the critical.  
 
Of course I completely understand that many people do not have players that trust them to run a fun adventure. Or trust their players.  I use hidden rolls as a norm.  And once the players understand how the calculate their rolls I don't really monitor them.  I just ask what they rolled. 
 
I am a GM who's job at the table is to weave a fun adventure for the players.  No matter how much you prep, you cannot always get it right, so in game adjustments be they NPC's, monsters, encounters or die rolls are all on the table.
 
 

Sure, but this whiplash-like variation in his characterization is a relatively modern phenomenon, representing in my judgment an inability on the part of DC to maintain readership without constantly thrusting out a new hot take on the character every few months. More gimmick than organic character development, these takes on the character feel more like random experiments than natural progressions of the original character concept to me.
 
In part this is a natural consequence of having so many writers put in charge of writing stories involving the Joker. However, the fact that the Joker has virtually no core identity anymore, apart from his name and arch-nemesis status to Batman, is a failure of editorial leadership over at DC in the last couple of decades, in my view. Much like there has been zero leadership taking charge of the DCEU, and look at the hot mess that turned out to be.

Ohhh I think I understand...
 
It used to be cross overs and events, were... "events".  However,  Rising cover prices, and declines in writing, (especially in Marvel since 2014) has forced them to put out "events" to artificially pump up sales of lesser selling titles in their line.  This kind of forced the conductibility of the titles, in the hopes of generating more sales. The actual business of comic books is supposed to be showing a profit for their corporate masters.  With declining numerical sales over time, the comic book companies relied on  increasing the cover price, and gimmicks to goose sales.  Marvel was/ is particularly bad about this. with an "event" every year. Then came the poor editorial decisions, and at this point, I could care less if Marvel Comics  goes away at this point.

So like you I am not really a fan any more.
 
 

I do as well with my qualifier being "good world building".  The vast majority of comics confused that with "grim dark dark grim scuzzy heroes are really villains blood splat blood".  Batman was never a hero, he was a vigilante.  But DC screwed up by not only trying to portray him as a hero, but grime'ing up all the other actual heroes.  Marvel was pretty much the same.
 
You can have a Hero in a bad place, but they are still heroes.  But the morons writing them were all about making them "relatable" or "realistic" and ground the whole hero concept right out of them. I read several non-comic graphic novels.  They are not superHERO comics.  They are graphic novels. 
 
I have enjoyed several of the comic based movies as well as one or two of the non-comic based ones. 
 
Superman portrays an ideal, not a real person.  When a self professed hater of the superhero concept makes a superhero movie,  you shouldn't be surprised when Superman becomes indifferent killer man. 
 
I actually liked Wonder Woman and Aquaman.  The Batman version was not bad.  Flash was meh. The actor picked could have played a good Cyborg, but the version they made just pulled a "what the heck" out of me.  Overall the DC movies with Superman have gotten worse each time, with Justce League only being dragged back up to the cliff edge overhanging the abyss by Wonder Woman and Aquaman.
 
I really liked Cavill in the part, I would just like the part to be Superman.
 
 

I like this idea. It would help simplify character creation a bit, since you can just keep stripping out things until you reach a good point total.

Most of the villains can be scaled back without too much difficulty.  It might be fun to introduce a junior version of a major villain who is their child, protege, or unexpected successor.  They could be serious, (say Green Dragon's daughter trying to prove her merit to her father), or ambitious but somewhat bumbling (say a klutzy nerd apprenticed to Utility or Mirage).

You might take a look at Motlee's Crew, from Cops, Crews, And Cabals. They're a group of super-powered thieves, but really just thieves -- they each have one or two fairly minor powers that are very useful for theft, but not for combat. Otherwise they're normal humans who eschew costumes, code-names, and other traditional supervillainous gimmicks.

Evil Magical Girl types come to mind. Akin to Witches 5 from Sailor Moon S.

us West Coasters know nothing of Pittsburgh, or snow. 😁

I don’t have as much of a problem with fictional countries especially if they are small. Even Marvel did it with Latvaria. We did it ourselves for our D. I. Runs back in the 80’s and 90’s. Viva Costa Diego!
 
Marc is working on an update of San Angelo. I have urged him to produce a proper detailed map. 

I am as well, but that doesn't mean they will get Sherlock Holmes level results.
 
RPG's are games and you can make any character you want that is allowed in that particular game.  If the player wants to make a Sherlock Holmes type character I will help them make one.  But if Bob makes Int 7 Igor the Barbarian from the ice plains for a PC and then suddenly wants to Sherlock the murder in Waterdeep. Well, I am all for letting him do what he wants. But Igor's sleuthing ability will most likely suck. 

I've been looking for something too.  All the suggestions I ever got on this required PHD's in techno-babble.  I guess my definition of the word "easy" is not the same as others
