@Liz. Would I be able to make a second sign up sheet for Jump City for a character more heroic than everyone's favourite Kryptonian dictator?

Eachiunn: Well, if you do, then you're not allowed to use one two central characters at once.

Then again, Zod and co aren't exactly up to much right now (again, apologies for the wait there) but feel free to drop in a signup and we'll see what we'll see.

Say...with most of the characters of doing their own thing...and Carol on the road to becoming a bad guy...then if you sign up for a hero character- BOOM! That's it! You and Legend can play off each other! No lines, no waiting! I am a genius!

[up][up] Now of course I need to figure out which heroic type character I want to play as.

I've been considering using one of the following (assuming they haven't been used previously), though I haven't quite made my mind up yet: Arabian Knight, Luke Cage, Viking Commando or Colossus.

Bean: Sure. So long as you know I've got my own ideas for the Brotherhood.

Eachiunn: Well, let me see.

  • Arabian Knight: Never heard of him, so I have no opinions.
  • Luke Cage: Always fun to have around.
  • Viking Commando: Might fit in with a possible idea I have for Jonah.
  • Colossus: Well now...the day both he and Nightcrawler are in play, I can officially say that the X-Men are complete!

Also, I'm only really planning on using whichever one of these I pick for when Zod's busy being imprisoned or dealing with whatever punishment the heroic types have opted to dish out on him.

I should have a sheet up for one of these guys soon-ish

I remember Arabian Knight. He had a fun basic concept (modern-day Egyptian empowered by ancient Persian artifacts, including a magic carpet.) I saw potential for him but he was underused, mainly as a representative of middle eastern politics and little else. And he was killed off ignominiously (some villain drained life energy from random people on Earth and he happened to be one of them.) It might actually be nice see him played in a respectful manner here (how many Muslim heroes are there? Besides the new Miss Marvel.)

Sijo: Let me see...the only other arab superhero I can think of, off the top of my head, would be Dust, a hijab-wearing girl who morphs into a cloud of fine particles. As ethnic superheroes go, she seems to lean towards stereotypical. But then again, what d'you expect from an X-Man?

Ah yes, I have heard of Dust (but never seen her, I had stopped reading X-men comics by then.)

Admittedly, Arabian Knight is something of a Captain Ethnic; he's a Bedouin leader who inherited magical items created by an ancestor to battle ancient Egyptian demons. He's every Arabian Nights cliché thrown together, he even looked like Aladdin! Still, no reason he cannot be reinvented into something with more depth. And again, how many Arabic characters are there in comics? especially nonvillainous ones.

I have an idea for a future plotline:

It will be after a timeskip over the West Coast and, assuming that Coulson is now a support character, he heads the expedition to retrieve and thaw out Captain America himself when he's found in the Arctic, and travels to a secret SHIELD facility out in the California wilderness since its closer to where the Cap was found. Just before this though, agents of AIM bust in and breakout of prison several powerful Bang Babies from jail to be drafted into going in and assassinating Captain America before he's fully awake.

There is a very high chance that if not stopped, the hit will be successful and lead to dire consequences for the future of humanity. This is why Madame Xanadu herself sends a message to all the West Coast heroes through their dreams, telling them to go to the SHIELD facility and help in taking down the AIM sponsored Bang Babies, because while Superman is the benevolent God whom prevents calamity to befell humanity, there is still need of a Messiah to lead and guide them lest the God is struck down.

Marvel/DC Timeline Part III: over 10,000 years ago...

990,750 B.C. - The Kree create The Supreme Intelligence (M), a computer made of living brains. It would eventually become their defacto leader.

c. 500,000 BCE - The first recorded Historic Age of the planet Krypton (DC) begins. Krypton was colonized by the Kree equivalent of Eternals.

c. 100,000 BCE During Krypton’s 6th Historic Age—a millennium-long global war—a terrorist group called Black Zero (DC) detonates a bomb at the core of the planet, eventually leading to Krypton’s destruction. The Skrulls were secretly behind this, seeking to eradicate the Kree Eternals.

78,000 B.C. The Kree set up a supply outpost in the Sol solar system on the planet Uranus, hoping to maintain a weapons base close to the natural space-warp that exists in the system. Within the base they placed unique weapons, including Eon's quantum bands. It was this space-warp that brought most alien races (both M and DC) to Earth.

c. 48,000 BCE A powerful meteor fragment confers immortality on two proto-Cro-Magnons, who will become Vandal Savage (DC) and the Immortal Man (DC).

c. 43,000 BCE

Vandal Savage is shipwrecked in Atlantis, and begins the Society of the Children of the Light (DC).

The Sorcerer Arion (DC) becomes Lord of Atlantis.

Arion sends out exploratory Swan ships to seek new lands (at least one of these ships discovers the extradimensional land of Skartaris (DC). )The Nuwali had found Skartaris earlier, and brought dinosaurs there.

c. 38,000 BCE

Anthro (DC) is born, the first true Cro-Magnon.

c. 33,000 BCE

The third generation of Earth's gods (the second were Atlantis') begin to appear. These include the Olympians (M, DC) and Norse gods (M, DC). The latter bear a resemblance to the gods of Godworld. This is because they are linked to a group of surviving Old Gods, Those Who Dwell Above in Darkness (M), by the Skein of Fates.)

c. 28,000 BCE

Apokolips is ruled by Yuga Khan, later succeeded by his wife Heggra. Their son Uxas is born c. 22,000 BCE.

23,000 B.C.

Civil war breaks among Earth's Eternals. The losing faction left the Earth, eventually establishing a colony on Saturn's moon Titan (M). Their emigration led to the Kree discovering the Eternals. They decided to experiment on humans as The Celestials had done; this leads to the creation of The Inhumans (M).

Meanwhile, the leader of Earth's Eternals performed an experiment that exploded and gave his race full immortality.

circa 22,000 B.C.

The war between the Eternals and Deviants begins.

19,000 B.C.

Barbarian human nomads began wandering the island continent of Atlantis, eventually founding a thriving civilization. They built over the ruins of the previous civilization, destroyed by an alien invasion (DC).

18,500 B.C.

The Deviants conquered and ruled the island continent of Lemuria (M, DC) in the Pacific Ocean, and there established the seat of their empire.

Kull (M), an Atlantean barbarian, became king of Valusia, an island off the coast of Atlantis which was the greatest seat of human civilization.

Atlantean sorcerers discovered the Darkhold, the magic scroll left behind by the god Chton, founding the Cult of the Darkholders. Using it, Varnae (M), a Darkholder dying of natural causes, became the first vampire on Earth. Varnae assumed the role of Lord of the Vampires, and retained this title for millennia.

Over the next 500 years, Atlantis became more civilized and developed into an empire.

17,750 B.C.

Atlanteans and Lemurians find the Antarctic Nuwali preserve and colonize it. They create half-human half-animal people to be their servants there.

Circa 16,000 B.C.

The Atlantean sorceress Zhered-Na (M) prophesied the sinking of the continent of Atlantis. Furious, the Atlantean emperor Kamuu ordered Zhered-Na to cease making this prophecy. When she refused to do so she was banished from the continent. One of her followers was Dakimh (M), who Zhered-Na made virtually immortal through magical means. Zhered-Na had once been a student of Arion.

A war started between Lemuria and Atlantis. Several cities were covered with airtight domes for safety. The Atlanteans used weapons powered by geothermal energy that weakened the island's foundations.

Human Lemurian alchemists, with the aid of the Set's minions the Serpent Men (M), created the Serpent Crown, a powerful artifact.

The Second Host of The Celestials arrived on Earth. The deviants attacked them, but all they caused was a retaliation that provoked a worldwide cataclysm, causing the sinking of Atlantis and Lemuria.

Several Atlantean cities survived the sinking. To live, their people either used technology to become amphibious (Poseidonians, DC), mermaids (Tritonians, DC), or adapted to high-pressure air (Netherians, M.)

The Serpent Crown remained in the sunken ruins of Lemuria.

Some human Lemurian slaves escaped into the underground. They would eventually become the Subterraneans (M).

c. 13,000? BCE

An inhuman scientist discovers Terrigen, the substance that they use to mutate themselves.

Learning that the Inhumans were using Terrigen, a Kree Sentry robot sent a report to its masters. Uxas (the future Darkseid (DC) detects the message, and he travels to Earth and obtains a sample of Terrigen; he’ll use it empower his minions.

c. 10,000 BCE

The adventurers Conan and Red Sonja (and their enemies the Sorcerer Kulan Gath and the Mutant Selene (all M) are active.

—More Later—

[up]I always thought Krypton was currently in an era of peace and progress by the time the bomb that blows up their planet explodes. Plus there in my head prehistoric Krypton was an near uninhabitable death world due to being the shining example of Everything Is Trying to Kill You with the flora and fauna massacring each others and literally zero species lasting a decade before going extinct. The only things to thrive were prehistoric Krytonians, whom we already established as beings of sentient energy before reverse engineering the technology that eventually leads to them creating bodies of flesh.

Also, there probably goes the possible plot thread of Darkseid actually being an identical twin of Thanos whom was accidentally sent to Darkseid and inexplicably adopted by Yugo Khan. Thanos was originally meant to be used as a guinea pig because he was fast developing sociopathic tendencies.

[up]Again, I'm listing canon facts from the comics (plus my own ideas, in italics) NOT all the facts of the JA verse as we have decided on so far. Once my timeline is done we can work on an official one (with this one as a base.)

Also, Krypton exploded *much later* (as in, the 20th century) the Black Zero bomb just started the chain reaction that eventually led to it.

[up][up]Since it's mildly relevant to your timeline, I was thinking that Czarnia would have been wiped out around 1624 A.D. give or take a few years (assuming Lobo actually killed all the Czarnians in the JA canon).

Sijo from Puerto Rico Since: Jan, 2001
#21150: May 24th 2014 at 6:15:18 PM

[up][up]You mean the Captain America one? Works for me.

[up]I don't recall Czarnia's destruction being on the DC timeline (could be wrong though) I'll check later. Though personally I would not wish for that to happen in the JA verse as I doubt the Green Lantern Corps would let Lobo openly operate as a bounty hunter despite being a known genocide (he might just be claiming the blame for his rep, though.)
