1)Who out there even plays Superhero RPGs anymore? Me!
2)Remembers the Advanced Marvel Superheroes game? Ayup!
3)Thinks a PBP superhero campaign would be fun? Yessir!
4)Or would like a living world style game where everyone makes a character and plays as time arrives? I was the character judge for Enworld's Living Supers. It died a long excrutiating death.
5)Would like to help me finish my comic book by playing it out? Sure!
6)Who would play a villian/anti hero? I could be persuaded.
7)Wants to just make up characters? My preference
8)Has Nightmares of Futures Past? And would send me a copy?
That and all the other Marvel stuff is free (and legal) here.

Regarding the heroes in the picture, I have some ideas.
1) The guy in black at the bottom right-center with a winged mask is clearly a speedster. I would call him The Mercurian, obviously after Mercury, the Greek messenger god. He is the fastest man alive on foot and can even break the sound barrier when he takes to the air (although this is more taxing on his powers). He can run around in a circle to create a miniature twister to engulf his enemies and incapacitate them as well.
2) The guy to his right in what looks like a green scale suit is called the Undersea Urchin. He can breath underwater and swim as fast as a dolphin. He can also communicate with all underwater creatures, no matter how far away. Unlike Aquaman however, he doesn't have power over them, although he can persuade them to help if doing so is in their best interest. He possesses the strength of an orca when underwater and is fairly strong even when on land. He has incredible constitution and his saliva is poisonous to most creatures.
3) The big Conan look-alike is known as Kronar the Conqueror. He comes from another planet in another dimension that is ruled by an evil wizard named Ylassin. Kronar is the only person in his world who is resistant to the wizard's magic (and he is resistant to magic from other worlds as well, making him an excellent mage hunter). Therefore, Kronar and Ylassin are bitter enemies.
4) The Wonder Woman clone on the bottom right next to Undersea Urchin is Isis, Egyptian goddess of motherhood, nature, magic, death, and rebirth. No one, not even Isis, knows why she has returned to the world in mortal form, but she now uses her powers to fight evil and learn about the cause that brought her to this lowly state. Although mortal again, Isis still possesses great power, from the ability to manipulate fertility, to great magical power, to the power to resurrect the dead, but only if they are taken before their time.

I cannot believe that kool site has all those old books we are in business 
Now the type of game since I believe that it should be something we all would want to play I am up for any of the following, and please list any ideals you have as well as comments for these ideals:
A) Play the module Nightmares of Futures Past, anyone unfamiliar basicly the Mutant Registration Act passed, mutants were hunted and sent to concentration like camps and the characters would all be mutants (with the exception of maybe one) and trying to survive in a world were they are hunted for just being born.
B) Each player makes a character and we play that they are the only heroes in this world (use the MSHS but not the Marvel Universe) start them of solo then somehow they form a group(possible goverment ties).
C) A living world where again the PCs are the first heroes and adventure solo or together or in small groups as the players have time to play and cycle in. (In this you would have three characters low, medium, and powerful and others could GM)
D) If we play my comic as a campaign basiclly you all would wake up in a deserted laboratory with others and everyone has a freaky power.
E) player vs player ?? some villians some heroes ??
F) Or you are a group of Villians like the key members of a Hydra like organiztion and you take orders from The Man (a dark silhouette on a view screen) who sends you out on missions.
So first let's talk about game and style then we can do some fun stuff like making characters to fill our world.
@airwalkrr Great concepts and backgrounds for those characters but save some for me lol

I really like playing in the Marvel Universe as long as our heroes are the main heroes. The big names like Wolverine, Hulk, Thor, and so forth could make the papers every now and then, but they shouldn't have a big influence on our storyline, except for maybe the background (like having set up the storyline several years ago but not taking part in it now because they are off doing bigger and better stuff). So I guess option A appeals to me most.
Would you be following a specific continuity like Uncanny X-Men or Ultimate-verse? Just curious.
Oh, and I am thinking of playing a character with a powerful beam weapon of some type.

I would prefer option A or D. Would perhaps need some assistance on chara creation.
