Alright, I was originally going to do a silly villain and turn him into a real threat, hence why I asked about Adam West villains. But, looking through the Internet, I found a joke villain that fought Batman and was defeated by...Hostess Twinkies. Seriously. Here's
◊ a link if you don't beleive me.
Anyhoo...
Name: K-9
Appearance: here
◊
Equipment: Dog whistle that can get any dog to follow him. Humans cannot hear this whistle. He also wears a dog suit that doesn't enhance his strength at all. Has a white convertible that he stole. Keeps a baseball bat in the convertible.
Abilities: None of particular note. He can drive stick and he's a pretty decent car thief.
Backstory: Since, he was a poorly thought out villain who only appeared on a Hostess ad, he wasn't given much backstory. The text in purple is my backstory that I've created for him
Once a normal guy, Alex Raskin dropped out of high school and lived with his parents. Slightly obese and lazy, Raskin didn't want an actual job. However, eventually his parents kicked him out. So he went the way that many unfortunate people go to: the way of the costumed criminal. After stealing a car and feeling pretty good about it, he decided to go bigger and kidnap all of the dogs at the Gotham Dog Show. Details are sketchy but Batman somehow managed to defeat him with a Twinkie. Never able to live that down, K-9 has escaped jail and seeks to establish to the world what an awesome villain he is.

Funny Fact: of all the villains made up for the Twinkies ads, only ONE actually showed up on the comics: The Frost King (I may be wrong about his name) who fought the Human Torch (in the ad) and the Thuderbolts (in the comics.)
(There was also Madam Web, but that one only shared the name of an existing Spider-Man character.)
I'll be honest, I've been mulling over this one for much of the day, while I was busy at a society. It's certainly a rather silly villain, but that doesn't mean he can't end up a good villain too. I'm going to say...accepted.
I'll let you know when you can join in.

And a Strange Figure Emerges.![]()
Right now? Reed Richards and his crew were ready to rocket into space, but the shuttle launch has been rudely interrupted, and the heroes are having to tangle with a robot commanding mercenary called Chance.
If we're still on the matter of silly super villains who should've been real, take a gander at this chump.

And a Strange Figure Emerges.Hey there. I know this might sound weird, but I've been watching over this RP and I really like it, and I was wondering if it's still open.
I have some characters, but they're mostly DC... I haven't read that much Marvel, apart from the occasional Guardians of the Galaxy... but, to tell you the truth, I was actually thinking about Martian Manhunter or Beast Boy.
I realize that someone is playing Miss Martian, but, Martian Manhunter hasn't appeared yet, so there's that.
But I did have an idea. Taking the concept of Copycat
and changing it around, much like someone did for the Sandman in this RP. Would that be alright with any of you?
I'm going to be using pics from Young Justice to match Miss Martian.
- Name: Martian Manhunter
- Real Name: J'onn J'onzz
- Gender: Male, is 135.
- Age: Looks like he's 45
- Appearance:Martian form.
◊ Human form.
◊
- Alignment: Good
- Personality: Calm, collected, serious and level-headed. Those are the perfect words to describe Martian Manhunter. He's polite, caring and friendly to the people he works with, no matter their age or status, and nobody has ever seen him angry (although he can be rather stern, as his niece will tell you).
- Powers and Abilities:
- Shapeshifting.
- Camouflage: Martian Manhunter can change the appearance of his form (and clothes) to match his surroundings, making him almost invisible, though not completely.
- Density shifting (intangibility): Martian Manhunter is capable of altering the density of his body, which results in him being able to phase his body through solid matter
- Super strength.
- Telepathy and telekinesis: which also allow him to fly by telekinetically moving himself.
- Vulnerable to fire.
- Weapons and Equipment: None.
- Origin: In 1955, J'onn J'onzz was transported from Mars to Earth, South America, due to a Zeta-Beam accident that took place during an experiment conducted by Dr. Erdel. Stranded on Earth for decades, J'onn became the hero Martian Manhunter, and has travelled back to Mars multiple times with Dr. Erdel's help. On one of these trips, he brought back to Earth a young martian, his niece, who decided to go to New York instead of coming with him to South America. Now, he's visiting New York under the pretense of seeing his niece, but also to investigate growing alien activity in the area.

A WILD FUSE APPEARS!
Welcome back, Fusionman. If you feel you're up for the role of Deadpool, then I could easily accept you into the game. just bear in mind that the guy's currently locked up in Arkham.
If you want, you could sign up for the spin-off in Jump City. The spinoff thread is here.
