Oh, I am so joining this.
- Name: Aquaman!
- Secret Identity: Jonathan Parks.
- Appearance: Your classic surfer dude, he usually carries a surfboard and wears Hawaiian swimming trunks. Aside that, he wears nothing else. He has a handsome, and rather dashing face, along with a good build. His eyes are clear, aqua blue and he hosts a head of brown hair.
- Personality: He likes to act like he's cool and hangs around girls alot. He's rather laidback about everything, including his work and he talks with a surfer's slang.
- Backstory: Our rather wonderful, and don't forget cool, Jonathan Parks was surfing like usual down at one of the numerous beaches he visited, surfing under the lip of a wave and winking at the girls on the beach, it was then that he suffered a rather large wipeout. Tumbling from his board and falling into the ocean, he bashed his skull on a rock and was rushed to hospital soon afterward. After regaining conciousness, our cool Jonathan Parks found that he wasn't normal, frustrated at being confined to a hospital bed, his anger brought the existing water in the room firing out of their positions to coat him....
...He had walked out of the hospital with his head held high, now hired by watever association the Heroes worked for, he returned to surfing, accepting the calls to fight crime whenever needed. He now stays on standby at a local beach.
- Powers/Skills: He can manipulate water as if it was an extra limb to him, recent wipeouts have also proven that he can breath underwater. He can also create the water he needs to manipulate if needed.
- Weaknesses: He holds a natural weakness to electricity, and has a soft spot for women and his family, he also holds a weakness to cold temperatures, preffering the cool of the sun.
- Other fun info: Should a woman approach him, he'd try to impress them, although these attempts fail spectacularly and make him look like an idiot. He can also do a perfect David Hasslehoff impression.
There, hope it's acceptable.
I hadn't actually thought about that. But, what the hell. You can play a supervillain if you like, and you'll be in the Rogues Gallery.

I am the lone wolf. I do not lead or follow.- Name: The Thinking Madman
- Secret Identity (optional): John Gregory
- Appearance (description or picture): The Thinker is a myopic old man in a lab coat.
- Personality: The Thinking Madman is your stereotypical Mad Scientist: arrogant, smart, and really arrogant.
- Backstory: John Gregory was a scientist who was fired for destroying the water cooler with giant acid ants. Since then, he has gone insane and does various crimes For the Evulz.
- Powers/Skills: The Thinking Madman is a genius who can create various evil genius things, like Zeerust tech and horrible mutants.
- Weaknesses: Huge ego, lack of common sense (he once tried to destroy a submarine with a fire monster)
- Other fun info (optional): None.
I... Guess I was sort of thinking a cross between The Kingpin and Lex Luthor, only as a woman? I dunno... If it doesn't work out, let me know.
- Name: Isabel Israfel
- Secret Identity (optional): N/A she hardly even tries to hide who she is.
- Appearance (description or picture): A slightly below average height and rather slim woman in her mid-twenties, with neatly trimmed shoulder length blonde hair and piercing grey eyes. Usually wears a business suit. On her left index finger is a rather innocent looking diamond ring.
- Personality: In public, she usually acts warm, cheerful and friendly to whoever she's speaking to. Get her alone though, and she turns into a cold, calculating and utterly ruthless creature, whose only thoughts are of expanding her criminal empire and crushing her rivals and anyone who gets in her way.
- Backstory: The latest heir to the criminal empire of the Israfel family, Isabel learned from an early age that there were only two kinds of people: The elite, and the filth, and as one of the former it is her right to grind the latter beneath her heels and exploit them for all they're worth. After her parents, the former heads of the organization, met an unfortunate and tragic, accidental end, Isabel took over and using her razor sharp intellect cast down most of her rivals and made sure that she was in charge of almost all organized crime in the city. By day she may be seen as the kind hearted, ditzy CEO of Israfel Applied Industries, but by night she dips her hands into far more sinister ventures. Drug running, prostitution, extortion, robberies, murders... Isabel likes to dip her beak into all kinds of things.
- Powers/Skills: The intelligence, resourcefulness and funds needed to run a successful criminal empire, along with being able to call upon her mooks for backup should things turn foul. And whilst some may be fooled by her small frame and the fact that she usually works from behind the scenes, the truth is...
- Weaknesses: Her physical powers are bestowed upon her by the magic ring she wears. If it's ever removed from her, or some form of anti-magic is used upon her, she reverts to the physical prowess expected of a woman with her build, ie. not much. Although she's usually very good at covering her tracks despite the fact that pretty much everyone and their dog knows she's a supervillain, if some conclusive, irrefutable evidence of her heinous deeds was ever brought to light...
- Other fun info (optional): Is very fond of "culture" and the arts in all their various shapes and forms. In fact, she secretly uses some of the funds from her criminal enterprises to fund local art, music and literature projects.

I'd like to join this as a villain. Hope this is okay.
- Name: The Red Baron
- Secret Identity (optional): Hugh Burgundy
- Appearance (description or picture): Wears a top hat, a cape, a red rimmed monocle and wears a suit. All of this is a dark red. Also carries a black steel cane with a fake ruby at the handle. Average sized 25 year old man has brown hair and sideburns.
- Personality: Is extremely hammy while in his persona as The Red Baron but is actually a nervous wreck inside always worrying that he'll be caught by a hero, the police or a villain higher up on the food chain (virtually every villain). Has an aversion to violence, especially lethal violence.
- Backstory: Years ago, mild mannered Hugh Burgandy worked in a paint factory and endured a hard life, with little money to his name to support him, until one fateful night when he was alone at work, stirring a vat of red paint. He was bitten by a radioactive red butterfly. This caused him to fall into the paint and he almost drowned. Upon barely escaping, the paint soon hardened around his body like a cocoon. Upon escaping after an hour trapped in the paint, some combination of these factors granted him super powers specifically the power to turn things red. Hugh vowed to never use this gift for evil. Unfortunately heroing doesn't pay well especially with such useless powers and he was fired from his job so as such he fell into darkness to pay for his life and soon after embraced a hammy persona to try and have some fun with the role. This did not succeed.
- Powers/Skills: Can temporarily make things red from a range of about 10 meters away. The exact shade of red varies but must be closer to red than orange or purple. Has a pretty good swing with his cane. Is very fast.
- Weaknesses: Has a grand total of two mooks, one of which doesn't fight. Doesn't like violence. Is scared to use his power offensively e.g. turning someone's eye red to blind them for fear of the effect somehow being permanent or that his foe would seriously hurt themselves while incapacitated. Refuses to put people in danger. His only power is to turn things red.
- Other fun info (optional): Has an Anteater named Steve who he reluctantly leaves alone at his apartment whenever he commits crime, he probably loves that anteater more than anything else in his life. Leaves a calling card at every bank he robs, a Jack of Spades but coloured in red. Tries to avoid stealing to much to avoid attention. Often gives money to charities to try and keep his conscience in check, this being one of the reasons he is still rather poor. He pretends to be a rich villain to draw attention away from his poor real life.
- Mooks: His mooks are Bethany, a safe cracker and Joseph, a fist fighter/getaway driver, neither are super powered. Hugh doesn't know them very well so that if any of them get captured, they cannot give the others up. The three of them get equal shares in whatever they steal. Both wear dark red bodysuits and masks when they are stealing. Joseph wears knuckle dusters and Bethany carries a bag of various safe cracking tools.
...I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. >.> On a more on-topic note, um... I feel kinda responsible for this seeing how I was the one who asked about villains, so, um... Seeing how Isabel is more of a chessmaster type she's probably not going to be too much in the foreground, so would it be okay if I (at least tried to) run a hero character as well? If I can come up with one quickly enough, at least. Or, um... Meh, it's probably better to just wait, I guess, but if it's okay with you I'd like to at least try to write one up. If it's, um, okay and all, ahah. >.>
Um...what?
I don't think we should put them in one team, as that would imply that Evil Is One Big, Happy Family.
- Name: Champion
- Secret Identity (optional):Arthur Scott
- Appearance (description or picture): Wears a yellow and red costume similar to that of Superman's, with out the Shield and S. Also, he wears a yellow and red domino mask. Is a very large and muscular man.
- Personality: Very cynical, yet he still tries to get away without offing the villains. He also has a thirst for combat. He has been known to escalate conflicts between equally powerful villains.
- Backstory: Arthur was born into a scientific community. His parents, who were lead geneticists decided to splice their dying son's DNA with that of a captive alien. At age 10 he accidently killed them through discovering his powers. After years of foster care, he had the resolve of becoming a hero to prevent the deaths of innocent people. Unfortunately, the worlds cruelty quickly killed his optimism. He now battles evil on daily basis more for his satisfaction than to save the day, even though he still manages to do that quite often.
- Powers/Skills:Super speed, Flight, and Super Strength.
- Weaknesses: Has many reckless moments, has a tendency to hit the bottle before combat, His genetic makeup makes it impossible for him to swim.
- Other fun info (optional): LOVES Dogs, and likes playing with his foster sister's children. Also, his alter ego is a world renowned satire writer.
We'll wait until more people come. I mean, we do need more heroes.
I have made a discussion page for our game
. We can discuss game ideas there, so we don't clog up the sign-up page.

I am the lone wolf. I do not lead or follow.- Name: Colonel Union
- Secret Identity (optional): George Jefferson Franklin
- Appearance (description or picture): His 'costume' looks like a cross between a modern-day army combat outfit and a civil war colonel's uniform, and he himself looks like someone in their late fifties or early sixties, complete with a greying beard and mustache.
- Personality: You know that grandpa who's always talking about 'the good old days'? Well, imagine if that grandpa had been alive since the 1800's, but also fighting fit and more than willing to kick your hind end. Imagine that, and you might start to get an idea as to who Colonel Union is. That, or imagine if Captain America had been born a few decades sooner, hadn't gotten frozen, and still managed to live to the modern era.
- Backstory: Born in 1842, George Franklin joined the Union Army as a sharpshooter when the American Civil War broke out. During that time, he discovered he had regenerative capabilities after receiving what should have been a fatal wound early on in the conflict. Soon after his ability was discovered, he was used by the Union forces as both a special weapon and as a propaganda tool. Since then, he's been constantly involved in US combat operations, though due to his age and his seeming lack of desire to move forward with the US social situation, there are many who now question if he's become too attached to the past and distant from the country he's sworn to protect.
- Powers/Skills: A healing factor that has effectively halted his aging process, as well an uncanny sharpshooting ability when fighting with firearms or other projectile weaponry. Additionally, he has a great deal of knowledge and fighting experience from having lived for over 150 years and having fought in nearly every US conflict since the Civil War.
- Weaknesses: Taxing his healing factor too much can cause knock him out for extended periods of time. He also lacks a certain level of modern social skills, not being afraid to tell people just what's on his mind, which often makes him come across as 'rude' or otherwise makes it difficult for him to work with others in non-combat situations.

Hello, and welcome to the Superhero Roleplay. I know you admire those costumed boy scouts in the tight spandex and the coloured undies, and now you can be one of them!
Plot details will be decided on later, but first, we must create a team of superheroes.
This is a more mature version of a superhero story, so we will deal with adult issues in it, such as depression, drug addiction etc... But the content will be PG-13 rated.
Let your imagination run wild, but don't make a Mary Sue. Mary Sues are outlawed, and will be shot on sight.
You must create a list of traits for your superhero:
Here's my superhero:
