Nothere

Well if we're switching to T.V. Hello Tales of the Gold Monkey and  Bring em back alive. I'm a bit questionable if they count as pulp but the Flash Gordon, Buck Rodgers, and Fu Manchu tv series were based on legends from the pulp era.

You forgot Space Ghost's base. Course as it's Ghost Planet, that's probably for the best. How many points is  a planet sized base anyway?

Nuclear scientists are disappearing the only clue is a large hole in the ground next to each disappearance.

After three power plants are mysteriously destroyed radios throughout the city are taken over by a sinister voice declaring all the gold in the city must be surrendered or the Golden Shadow will plunge the city into darkness.

The Long Foot of the Law.

P.I. Archie Paddington was investigating possible using of inferior materials in building. The company was currently building a chemical company, and while he was investgating the plant, he was caught. The next thing he knew he was being thrown into the river with cement shoes. As he struggled helplessly suddenly he found himself swimming towards the surface. Once he could breathe again, he discovered how he survived The cement or whatever they weighed him down with had rubberized his feet. He could expand them or stretch them out. Quickly deciding not to call himself flatfoot he took on the identity of the Long Foot of the Law.

Well it depends on what sort of effects your thinking of.

So is there a way to pick which topic gets removed from your archived topics? Or does it keep more than 5 pages?

How long do you suppose an artist has to make an issue of a monthly comic? They can't start publishing without being at least an issue ahead. But between coloring, printing and shipping, can they really maintain a monthly pace if the artist takes longer than two weeks?

Sadly I have nothing to contribute. I always wanted CLOWN but never got around to getting it, and never heard of Imp. So I can't recommend what to keep or add to. However I'm please to hear about this.

The mystic powers beyond the veil will speak soon. They are currently arguing. Do they wish to save Deathstroke headaches and steer them towards Phou Bia, Doc Reprobate, and Cheap shot or laugh at the foolish mortals and steer them towards Omni-droid, Glitter pony, and Haste? To be cruel or kind? Answer cloudy try again later.

I am very annoyed. A chance to get a Storn picture of a character is too good to pass up. But off hand I don't have a good one to ask for. I might have to dig up my description of the agonist of the lethal ladies of the Nothere enemies book supervillainess edition. In the meantime I might as well go with an unimpressive one. Scaredy Cat is one of my go to charecters, but my version of the costume is unimpressive.

Scaredy Cat: Superstrong and  superhumanily agile  he gets around with his massive leaps. He can create a field of darkness, and has mind control instill fear. He also has fake claws to climb walls. Oddly enough his costume is a black one piece with a half face mask that suggests a cat.

Bah next you'll be telling me that forcing the captured good guy scientist to work in my laboratory unsupervised is a bad idea.

So these Voodootronics. Are they carried in drum like containers and are activated when you beat on them, or in dna markers in the shape of the target, and released when you stick a power pin into them?

You dare show us your planetary romance material? To the Klar pits with you Insolant Earthman.

I have a funny feeling you have  few sites in mind.

People don't plan to fail they fail to plan. And if your not that good at it for a high price you can hire the  Planner to figure out the best method to commit your crime. The Planner is different from other criminal masterminds in that he has low level psychic abilities. He can actually see the results of the plan before it happens. Of course this vision isn't perfect. To forse any trouble with his embezzlement scheme you actually have to embezzle something. And he can't forsee things to radical. But he sees enough to adjust his plans so that he's never been caught, and most clients are very wealthy.

After a months long rampage Oddball was finally arrested in placed in a mental institution. Unfortunatly for law and Order the accident that gave him a rubberized body, and drove him insane didn't prevent him from being a genius. He had already arranged his escape, but he stayed in the instiution. He found six mentally disturbed patients and when he escaped he took them with him. Those who had no powers he gave powers. And now the lunatics are at times trying to run the underworld. Of course all the members of the Mad Mob are insane, so not everything they do makes sence.

I don’t think that the OP stated that the timeline was following the comic code. Why are people assuming as such? My apologies if he did though.

Like I said I don't really have anything to stick this into. Usually I have a concept about the city or campaign then make the history. But like I said all this talk about ages, and thinking about a WW 2 campaign I found myself making the history first. As for the comics code I like options so I don't really rule out things the comics code doesn't allow, but the 80's does make up the majority of my comic collection. So I tend to do things like you are not required to buy code against killing, but the Punisher is not allowed. I really have two main problems. I'm not overly pleased with the 50's description. And as I reach the 70's and 80's should I stop there and set the campaign there, or move on to modern times. The poll showed the 70's as the most popular other era I could get away with it. But the main thing was going backwards from what I'm used to I was a bit worried I was making a mess. But seems folks think I'm on the right track, so forward.

Between Golden age champions and the recent discussion of comic decades I've been thinking of a sort of timeline. I don't actually have a campagin or city to use it in,  though I'm thinking a legacy type campaign. While it lacks detail the broad strokes are pretty much done, so I figured what the heck. I'd let people look and decide if I need a rethink. 

The Age Of Mystery

As the 20's dawned a secret war broke out of the streets of Blank City. It was a time of great growth. However while there were many technical wonders created not all were in safe or even sane hands. Modern travel brought many ancient secrets into the city, even those that should have stayed buried. And the passing of so much of the old guard in the Great War left room for innovation, but not every bold new philosophy, or leader had societies best interest at heart. Many of the heroes who rose to meet this challenge activites, if they ever really existed, are now urban legend. But there was a time when criminals trembled at the mere mention of names like the Owl and Dazzle Dame. Though an explosion in masked criminals is definitely written in the papers of the time. Exactly what crimes people like the Gentleman Skulker and Baron of Crime commited may never be known. But the city was a lot safer after they were arrested. But there were those who stepped into the limelight. People argued if Maras the Mystic was just a god magician or had actual mystic powers. No one argued how often he was there when a criminal was caught. And though some reports in the files are rather odd. Homicide Det. Derek Grant 's battles with organized crime like the Shadow Council and the first version of the Marintas inspire police cadets to this day. Perhaps most notable was Thomas Telblum the Techonligcal Crook Cather. Who's patents are responsible not only for helping the police solve some baffling crimes, but been the birth of three different tech companies. Though even the most unaware citizen became aware of this war at the battle of Burton's peak. Someone calling himself the Electric man interrupted radio broadcasts to declare that he was truly Tesla's greatest rival. And to prove it he was going to use the death ray Tesla failed to invent to electrocute the city. Overnight a large strange structure appaered on Burton's peak. The cops who went to investigate were killed by a gathering of the cities most notorious criminals. An all out assault led by Det. Grant, Telblum, and supposedly the Owl attacked and the structure blew up killing most of the assembled.

The War Years

However conflict was soon to break out in Europe, and the city began to prepare for the inevitable conflict. Though far from the front lines, the city was still a major industrial and technological hub. Telblum closed his lab and opened a factory forming Telblum Inc. and going to work for the war department. That was one of the first but hardly the last retooling done in the city. And when the conflict broke out dozens of young men and women went overseas. Leaving it vulnerable to the forces of crime, and foreign agents. And unlike during the age of mystery these people exhibited powers the like of which the world had ever known. Which led to the government starting the Protectors initiaitve to give the country more powered guardians. These were countered by Nazi agents like Todesadler and the Black Spider whose acts of spying and sabotage nearly crippled war production. While black marketers and organized crime like Jackpot and the revived Marintas crime group siphoned millions. Fortunatly the city was defended by Protectors initiative operative Golden Shield, and freelance heroes like Pride and Virtue. 

The 50's 

After the war was a relatively quiet time there were a few communist infiltrators like Cold Heart and the People.  But nothing like during the war. 

The 60's 

Saw a rebirth in superheroic action. Though not without the political upheavel of the day. Heroes like Groovy who could only use his powers when high of illegal drugs gave city hall a few headaches. After the closing of Telblum Inc after the war,  the patients were acquired by Blake Reardon who founded Reatec, and soon after the armored Titanman showed up. A new Dazzle Dame appeared though unlike her predessor she didn't just use strobe lights to blind foes. But where their are heroes their are villians the Iron duke and his iron legion made several attempts to take over the city. And a new force in the underworld calling itself the Horde battled Martintas for control of crime. 

O.k. like I said kinda sorta. In each age of course a more detailed list of heroes/ villians and their abilities would need be made. And depending on what decade I set the campagin in I'd need a 70's etc section. And the 60's section needs work. But I don't think I've gone too far a field here.
