Justice League: The New Wave (OOC - Interest Check)

[Aussie_Wolf]

Well, there's Taskmaster, on the villain side, with "photographic reflexes." And Finesse from Avengers Academy, who partly inspired the Moonwing that appeared briefly in this thread.

One of the characters from "Heroes" had a thing called "muscle memory," I forget her name, she was one of the meh additions to the cast from Season 2.

Didn't Connor Hawke have a martial artist equivalent at one point? Like he knew a martial art that let him copy people's moves, making him potentially even more dangerous than Batman in a fight? It was briefly mentioned but I don't think they used it for much mileage outside of Chuck Dixon's work.

I know about those ones, but mine was one that could literally copy superpowers. Sort of a cross between Mimic and the Pretender. If you have ever read the original Guardians of the Galaxy with Vance Astro, Charlie 27 and the rest. There is a character called the Prophet who learns abilities just by observing them.

There was a Legionnaire foe who grew up to be "Earth Man," copying powers was his deal.

And I loved Calvin "Mimic" Rankin, my favorite being the one from "Exiles." I wrote a female version of him for awhile called Miriam, she was from a world that mashed up Marvel with Firefly.

And speaking of "Heroes," Peter Petrelli's empathic ability to copy powers got a little crazy until they knocked him down to one at a time...

 

[ChasNicollette]

I can't seem to find even a mention of it. Any idea how much weight the Keystone Central bridge can withstand?

Looks like you replied an OOC post to the IC, TH, sorry to pester, would you mind editing that?

I don't know an exact figure, I'm no architect, but it's probably hundreds and hundreds of tons, considering it'll have gridlocked cars on it for the better part of most days going back and forth between cities, and it'll need to withstand the wear and tear of all those hundreds-to-thousands of vehicles as well as the various elements.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Yeah that's the problem with mimics. If they are written too powerfully they do get a bit Mary Sue. Mine had it so he could only use each power once a day for one minute. Of course he could use the same power from different heroes, eg Super speed from say the Flash, then from Superman etc.

Let us not forget Duplicate boy from the Heroes of Lallor from the Legion as well. He was an absolute beast.

Yes!

I loved how you used him in "LDoK: Legion." However tragic that scene was!

That sounds like a really good limitation!

Of course, it was revealed that properly-functioning Hero Dials (and their variants) were copying whole identities and powers from other heroes elsewhere in hypertime-- Robby Reed copied Plastic Man more than once, and Nelson Jent once Dialed up Barry Allen. So in that sense, all Dialers were also mimics, but for unpredictable amounts of time.

 

[Wyldfire]

Yes!

Glad I could entertain. The Legion writers under use Ord so badly.

 

[TertiusHuman]

Charizard thank you. I like the dragon image you get when you evolve them

LOL well not so sure if the tearing up is a good thing, but it does look like it, so then I am glad.

I did want to place Gar's mind in a dimension that looked like the Time thingy in the Doctor Strange movie. Only with animals drifting about and him looking for an Exit sign lol

That's not entirely dissimilar to the shattered Atlantis that was Kaldur's mindscape that one time he got brain-blasted, I dig the thematic dovetail.

And tearing up was a good thing, you gave me feels standing in the middle of the launderette.

I could kill for a Charizard, I've never even seen a Charmander.

 

[Varshanka]

Anything with a name like Charizard/Charmander better have fire breath to 'Char' her enemies.

Yes! Charmander is the original Fire-type starter Pokémon.

It evolves into Charmeleon and then Charizard, which looks like a dragon.
