ULTIMATE Secret Wars *CLOSED*

[Kevin Perrine]

That's cool. I wasn't planning on running Hulk as an Ultimate I was planning on him starting the game in their containment facility. So the Ultimates would be familiar with him in regards to his capture and infamy (no matter how deserved or undeserved it may be).

that works... the Ultimates have a formula that they have used to turn Hulk back to Banner, and (in the continuity) Banner is under heavy observation in the Ultimates HQ.
I didn't want to stamp your enthusiasm... feel free to figure things out but do so as Banner - not the Hulk. He won't make his appearance until the Secret Wars.

I'm not indecisive... just... okay, I am indecisive.

I'd previously been interested in the Human Torch; however, in looking at the selections we have so far, I'm noting that the Fantastic Four is looking to be the Fantastic Five, and the Avengers are a little slim.

So, since I don't see anyone else vying for Iron Man, I'd much rather be Tony Stark.

HERO NAME: Iron Man
REAL NAME: Tony Stark (Public)
QUOTE: "Omigosh! I forgot I'll rust to death if I don't watch out!"
(Yes, that's a real quote: http://www.ironmanarmory.com/ahostess2.GIF )
BASE OF OPERATIONS: Stark Enterprises, Intl.
PERSONALITY: genius, technologist, capitalist, recovering alcoholic
BASIC POWERS & TACTICS: Uses specialized super-armor to fly, project repulsor beams, and generally kick tail.
BACKGROUND: While in Vietnam he stepped on a Communist-planted land mine. The resulting explosion sent shrapnel ripping through his body. He was captured by communists led by warlord Wong Chu, and though sick and weak, with shrapnel working its way toward his heart, he was forced to build a super weapon. Instead, he constructed a chest plate to keep his damaged heart working, then later expanded it into an entire suit of super-powered armor for himself. For a while, Tony Stark used Iron Man as a cover, as the spokesman and corporate symbol for Stark Enterprises. He has since revealed to the world that Tony Stark IS Iron Man. This has changed his life dramatically, not the least of which his playboy personal life and his business dealings as the head of Stark Enterprises.

According to Marvel.Com...

Superhuman durability
Repulsor blasts
Uni-Beam

ABILITIES: (Scale 1-7)

is this Matt??
does nobody sign emails anymore? ;-)

the Avengers ARE slim, however if the main Fantastic Four are taken then She-Hulk will move to the Ultimates (Avengers) which will work fine.

If you still want to play the Torch I'd suggest it.

whichever you'll have more fun...

your info on Iron Man is correct - but it's all from the original... we're going with more of the Ultimate series Iron Man. He's JUST as powerful and similar in personality, but his origin and his helping the Ultimate team are different.

In the Ultimates, Tony is more of a fun go-lucky bachelor that would love to "get with" his fellow female Ultimates as much as strapping on the Iron Man armor.
In fact they treat the armor as much more of a team project inwhich he has a group that's constantly uploading info to him behind the scenes and looking for ways to boost power, etc... much more techie fun.
He has also been seen drinking heavily prior to getting in the armor, because (paraphrased) "you need a drink to get in that thing"... and while he's still a hero. He's much more cogniscent of himself - ie. he thinks about it before risking his life most times... then does it anyway.

hope that helps your decision.
email me privately once you decide to get the PL to build whichever.

nope...
I just need to double check your character sheet.
I didn't get a chance to look at it at lunch today. I should have it done tomorrow.
I'll plan to post the opening "EPILOGUE" to begin the game in the next couple days...

Then we gotta get all the others ready to play... I know Hawkeye's play (Dan?) said he'd be on vacation and coming back this week sometime and hoped we'd wait on him... we'll get started with the Epilogue and then start the war when he's ready.

fair enough?

Woot!

Thanks for the freebies!!

I sent you an email with a link to my Colossus character sheet, King Kevin. I don't personally have any Ultimate books, but if you have some I could look though, I'd sure appreciate it if you brought them this Thursday. I'll get one scanned in and have it prominant for others to use as reference.

(i.e. No one's going to say, "woah...." when Colossus shows up if they keep thinking of him as that guy in the goofy red and white costume from the 70's.)
