[M&M] Ultimate Thunderbolts - FULL

[Dayspire]

Think about it: You're a super-powered criminal. Or you were. Now you're trying to reform. You've perhaps made one too many mistakes, or you're just tired of getting beaten by that snot-nosed punk Spiderman. Maybe you just feel guilty. Whatever the reason, you're going to try and go the straight and narrow and be a hero.

And God help anyone who gets in your way.

Is there any interest in this? I'd love to be a player, but I could run it when I finally get my 2nd edition copy.

Sounds interesting. I could be willing to try it especially after reading up on PlasticMan, it's got me thinking of some ideas.

Count me as tentatively interested. I've been looking for a reason to read Thunderbolts

ULTIMATE Thunderbolts...Does this mean it is the Ultimate Universe? What kind of background or characters are you looking for? Do they have to pre-exist in the Ultimate Universe or could it be someone we haven't seen yet, like Tiger Shark?

somewhat interested. Looking for more details.

I'm hoping someone with vast M&M experience wants to run this, as I'm pretty much a newbie to M&M. I just had an idea, and thought I'd see what others thought.

But yes, in my mind - it's set in the Ultimate universe. This allows for a HUGE selection of ex-villains to choose from, and modify them in anyway you want. He/she may only have a slight connection to the 616 version.

(As an aside, an ultimate version of Tiger Shark who wants to try his hand at being a hero to the 'surface dwellers' would be cool!)

I've never read Ultimates, and I'm not up for DMing, but I'm willing to assist anyone who DMs.

Thanks! Me and a buddy came up with a whole list of villains to cast as possible Thunderbolts and Tiger Shark was one of 'em we both loved. By the way, his hero name was gonna be Barracuda.

I've spent the whole day scouring the web looking at various hero's Rogues Galleries - there are some really fun characters in the The Avenger's and Spiderman's enemies. Shouldn't be too hard to pick one =)

From what it looks like, my pre-order of M&M 2E should be arriving at some point this week. I've thought about it, and I'm pretty excited about the whole idea. I love alternate realities (Ultimate counts as one!) and villains turned hero. In other words, I'm going to run this.

I won't officially start it until I've had a few days with the book. So perhaps a week, a week and a half from now. That doesn't mean we can't throw ideas around about what type of hero/former villain YOU want to play. I'm not looking for a full background (yet!) - but just ideas that you think sound cool. And remember - this is the Ultimate universe. So if you want to play El Diablo (old enemy of the FF) but want him to be female - that's fine with me. Here are some general guidelines.

* Former villain. For the most part, the villain should have either served their time, had their sentence commuted, or something similar. Still at-large felons are not a good idea, even if you change your identity.
* Change of heart. Come up with a real reason why they're trying to be a hero. This can be as simple as tired of being a punching bag, to something far more complex. If you want it to remain a secret for now, that's fine. The Thunderbolts have always had secrets.
* First appearance! Let's avoid those villains who have already made an appearance in the Ult-U, if at all possible.
* Flavor. Remember that the Ult-U is slightly darker, and more 'realistic' than the 616 universe (the standard Marvel universe, natch).

Any questions?
