!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HERITIC!!!!!!! There is but ONE true crisis.

Now I'm totally confused. I can think of at least two, and I don't really read comics. Which is the "true" one?

I weep for you. I'm blowing my nose night now.

I speak of the original. The Crisis on infinate Earths.

I still havn't had time to get my normal college student identity all statted out. Suffice it to say, he will be pretty weak. I am, however working on it.

IANAE but I thought the original Crisis on Infinite Earths was the first mega-crossover event in comics. Though they have them every year now it was unprecedented and really had an impact (in terms of sales, thinking about comics continuity, -actually- killing characters and keeping them dead, etc etc.).

I don’t, personally, think it’s aged very well as a series but it was groundbreaking (and the first time that comics companies acknowledged that they had over-created and need to clean shop).

Prior to Crisis Supergirl was actually related to Superman.
Post Crisis (Iron Age I suppose) she was a shapechanger who was manipulated by Lex Luthor into being Supergirl so he could have “his own super person”.*

The “original” supergirl was still around, sort of, as Power Girl (or Power Woman). She had lots of different backgrounds given to her by different authors (kept ‘rediscovering her true identity’) which was a big plot point in one of the recent Crisises. (IIRC Infinite Crisis, which lead up to the current 52 event).

I know that the original Supergirl died during Crisis on Infinite Earths. Either way the one that I happen to like is the Animated DCU version of her, where she is from Argo.

Good god! You are like so "pre-crisis".

Hehe Well I consider that a complement as I was never much of a fan of the killing spree that was 'Crisis' (well what I saw of it anyway).

I was never much of a Superman fan and what meager comic book money I did have went on titles like Swamp Thing, The Lone Wolf and Cub and a few Anthologies.

Then of course I discovered Telnet MUDs and my hobbies and life were changed forever

Surge's stats are finalized. He's complicated, but I've shown all my work. He has lots and lots of powers, but mainly to accomodate both the electrical stuff and the soldier stuff with various weapons. He actually a bit weaker for having so many, as he has far more attack forms than he would ever use in any given fight, but it works flavorwise.

FINAL CHARACTER SUBMISSION TOMORROW!!!

I need all prospective character designs submitted by midnight US Eastern tomorrow night (Friday). I will use the subsequent 24 hours to select the characters for the game. Any changes made after midnight US Eastern time will not be considered. If your character is selected, you will, however, have the opportunity to tweak your character at a later time if need be.

We have 8 prospective characters at this time. The good news is that six characters will be selected. The bad news is that two of them will not. Anyone not selected will be reserved as alternates in case someone drops out.

The character selections will be announced in this thread some time on Saturday, no later than midnight US Eastern time.

Good luck, all!

What Power Level/PP should I set my normal identity at?

Basically, I am thinking of giving him a few ranks in a bunch of academic-type skills, and maybe a few feats (such as equipment) to represent the handful of resources he has in real life.

Normal ID would be a 3pt Drawback in most cases. Check with me if your Hero ID is hard to disguise/overcome.
