I saw in the thread that you're looking to replace some inactive players, and I'd like to sign up. I recently got the MHR core book and I'm itching to try it out, and this game looks smashing.
Hope this doesn't seem sketchy, being my first post and all. I've got a pretty healthy history over at GitP, though I've never participated in a PbP there. I've been playing RPGs since I was a kid, and moreso now in college. I'm living in China now, however, for a couple semesters, and finding gamers here brings new meaning to the needle in a haystack metaphor. I'm a big Marvel fan, but somewhat of a second-hand Marvel fan; besides Ultimate Spider-Man when it first came out, I've read very few of the comics. I grew up watching Spider-Man and X-Men animated series and of course have devoured every movie.
If you want me to introduce a character to enter in media res I'm considering Black Panther or Human Torch. If you'd rather me just pick up an inactive one, it's Beast.
Tell me what you think.
