Oh, come on. It isn't THAT hard to do.

Ok, assuming you mean the main game (New York's), this has happened:

The Joker caused mutant riots on New York city. This ended with him in jail and Harley Quinn becoming She-Bat (as in, Man-Bat's mate.)

The Creeper (in his normal ID as a TV reporter) tried to arrange a peaceful meeting between the pro- and anti- mutant sides. This ended in yet more riots (thanks largely to the supernatural serial killer, The Weeper.)

Klarion the Witch Boy, a Lord of Chaos, cast a spell that began turning adults into children (and vice versa) forcing the heroes to request aid from the Lord of Order Nabu to stop him.

The Music Meister went on a musical rampage on the city, directed at Tony Stark.

During Christmas, an amnesiac Odin was mistaken for a Mall Store Santa Claus, leading to an invasion of Dark Elves.

The Watcher asked the heroes to save a (just debuting) Superman from The Hulk, who was being used by the Ultra-Humanite.

Currently, one group of heroes is trying to find a new host for Nabu, another is investigating supernatural shenanigans in the Bronx, and another is helping a little girl deal with an abusive orphanage headmistress.

If I missed something, please mention it folks.

You forgot all of the times Tony got kidnapped. That's the part that drives men mad, because the number is impossible to fathom.

I keep forgetting Harley is She-Bat. Which makes me really sad, because she's not Harley at all.

[up]Though question is, who is Harley? Really? I think we accidentally made her the type of villain that only truly projects herself through the personalities of whatever men she tries to hang on to in order to manipulate them, her bouts of ditziness the only concrete facet. The reason she's most associated with Joker is because he's the only one that actually played her like a fiddle instead of the other way around.

So, I mentioned that I wanted to do another character to replace Bugg in Hub-City. I've got a couple of ideas I want to toss around and see which one I carry out:

  • Hisako Ichiki/Armor as a cyborg, same basic powers, sent by Last Line to oversee Hub City as a point of strategic interest

  • Jocasta or Red Tornado as an android sent back in time to pose as a hero and secretly set up the appropriate conditions for the arrival of an undetermined Big Bad

  • Ophelia Sarkissian/Viper in a Cyber-Six-esque arrangement in which she A: defected from Hydra and is actively fighting them and B: Her life depends on the consumption of a serum that Hydra used to provide to her. Yes I'm aware that I'd have to clear this one with herrcolonel.

  • Black Cat, a tad like above, but basically replacing Cadmus with Hydra, Or going straight D-N-Angel with her.

  • Miss Marvel as created by Cadmus, basically giving her Superboy's backstory with a few twists here and there, though I'd require Captain Marvel's powers in this RP to write it up.

What do you guys think?

[up] Welcome to Hank Pym's world, Tony: You put one foot wrong, and it's all anyone remembers you for.

Hisako Ichiki/Armor as a cyborg, same basic powers, sent by Last Line to oversee Hub City as a point of strategic interest Jocasta or Red Tornado as an android sent back in time to pose as a hero and secretly set up the appropriate conditions for the arrival of an undetermined Big Bad Ophelia Sarkissian/Viper in a Cyber-Six-esque arrangement in which she A: defected from Hydra and is actively fighting them and B: Her life depends on the consumption of a serum that Hydra used to provide to her. Yes I'm aware that I'd have to clear this one with herrcolonel. Black Cat, a tad like above, but basically replacing Cadmus with Hydra, Or going straight D-N-Angel with her. Miss Marvel as created by Cadmus, basically giving her Superboy's backstory with a few twists here and there, though I'd require Captain Marvel's powers in this RP to write it up.

Sanojutsu: Well, let's see.

  • I think Hisako Ichiki has been mentioned as living in District X, just not as a cyborg.
  • Going back in time is a bit of a big deal, considering the dark future that might be looming. Still, she could come from some alternate timeline that isn't filled with Sentinels and Darhkseid.
  • Cadmus might be an idea. We've had Spider-Man be cloned by an undisclosed organisation, so this may be a way of getting them into events in Hub City.
  • I presume you mean Miss Marvel as in Carol Danvers (which is a pity because the new Ms Marvel might be a great fit for Jump City). At present Captain Mahr-Vehl doesn't have much in the way of powers. Being a Kree makes him stronger and tougher than most folk, and his uni-beam wrist blaster lets him shoot pure darkness and manipulate magnetism, but he hasn't yet found the means to fly like a bird. Maybe this Ms Marvel could be a blend of different genetics, or exposed to certain treatments to let her fly and shoot energy beams.

Hisako Ichiki was, but she did end up injured and being taken during the Joker Riots when mutants had been depowered and had not been mentioned since. That sounds particularly like something Amanda Waller might do given the circumstances.

In spite of the infamous wife-beating incident and the general creepiness that Dr. Hanky Panky engages in, I still like him more than Reed Richards.

That guy's a dick.

It's weird to read what Pym is largely known for, because my only major exposure to the character is the EMH cartoon's version, for which wife-beating seems really out of character, at least where I'm up to.

Broken(figuratively) and molded to his image, as the stories go

Isn't that how Harley is in the cartoon? I mean, Mad Love went to various lengths to show just how smart Harley is and how she still goes and turns into a ditz because she loves the Joker and will do anything to please him. From what I've read of the first arc, that's pretty much what happened with Man-Bat, except change 'ditz' into 'angry evil bat'.

To be fair, all we see of the real Harvey- that is, before she turns into Harley Quinn- was what we see when she's working as Joker's psychiatrist, and she seems smart and concentrated. That's about it. She's a character who (sadly) molds herself to the men around her, like Ud said. So when she was around the Joker, she was dumb, but when she's around Man-Bat, she's a maniacal terrorist.

gaunt: Yeah, it was a damn good thing they left the 'slapping your wife across the room' thing out of the cartoon.

Still...trying not to give too much away, but come Season 2, you'll see what state of mind he was in when it happened in the comics.

Wait, I just realized that Man-Bat is dead. So this is Harley molding herself to her image of Man-Bat. Woah that's weird.

When did Reed slap his wife? If anything she kicked his ass when she was possessed by her evil persona (Malice.)

Pym hit Janet *once* and that was during a period of very unstable mentality. But yeah, they just won't let him live it down.

And Richards may not be a dick, but he's an idiot. And not just for refusing to solve the World's problems with his science. He's literally stupid. For the supposed "smartest man on Earth" he's done things like turning a bunch of Skrull spies into cows... completely forgetting that cows get milked- and eaten. This led to several innocent people getting all "skrull-ified." Yeah, that's actually canon. >_<

Oh btw, I forgot to mention in the list above the team that is going after the man-Bats, and the team that is joining SHIELD (though the later aren't doing anything urgent yet.)

Bean: The worst part is, even after Man-Bat told She-Bat to her face that he was wrong, she still patterned herself after him and zealously followed his original cause. It's like Life Of Brian all over again.

Clearly, there's only one solution. Find a bad boy hero for her, and get her to pattern herself after him. How about...Harley Hex?
