Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@ghost rider, you are easily entertained, however that to me is like someone saying Oh I dont care for all that cookery nonsense, just give me a fast food burger from mcdonalds, sinse it might be badly made and mass produced but it tastes good
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Great summation Cae, thumbs up for that one, though i can say Im not surprised, sinse from what Ive seen of the superhero commics an series what you say is what I would expect, eg, some good, but lots of returns to status quo and ridiculous amounts
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I blame Storms over dramatic speeches on her time being treated as a Goddess. Some habits are just too much fun to give up. Alas, shes too serious most of the time to have ever admitted this, so I but speculate.

Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Perhaps this is why Im generally kinda meh about the whole superhero thing. Oh Ive seen a fair few of the Marvel films of late and theyre okay but I dont call myself a fan of the genre, except for Agents of Shield which of course has original
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Sinse I learned Joss Weeden was involved with the writing of agents of shield its been a series I definitely want to check out, although at the moment my tv series watching is very taken up with Buffy .I cant imagine a Weeden series without
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Dark, that is certainly an interesting perspective on the superhero genre, but killing off the hero or changing them over the course of a movie or two is akin to killing the golden goose. I believe what makes some of these long running series so
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
A few things. Speaking of Agents Of Shield, Id like to see such shows as Smallville, Gotham, and Arrow. Also, Tward, did you find a way of getting accessible comics? And also, Dark, Superman doesnt really get a speech from anyone. Sure, he talks
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@Ghost rider, Sore is not a good example for your arguement being that after the first film the series got cryticized for precisely the same predictability you mention, hay I never said super hero films were the only! predictable film series out
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
So, a few years back I started reading the issue summaries at uncannyxmen.net. I more or less got bored around the climax of The Twelve arc (For all the build up, the results were underwhelming compared to previous storylines), which pretty much covers
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Dark, my history lessons were similar. We were specifically told to look for bias, the potential accuracy and honesty of a source, as well as what the source wasnt mentioning that might be relevant. Essentially they were teaching us how to study
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
one of my favorite heroes is green lantern. He needs to use his wits, smarts and he needs to think quickly in order to make what he needs with his ring. Batman is my most favorite. He is only human, so he defies death every single day, yet he never
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@Cx2, Well at GCSE level history I actually did the history of Medicine as a topic, which is obviously a long way from being Britain centric (heck, quite a bit of it was about the Griek and Roman medical practice which obviously was long before Britain
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I think, while Superman can get away with a no killing code, Batman has the misfortune of sending the Joker to a cardboard prison every other Thursday, but has admitted that hes psychologically incapable of letting him die, let alone killing him
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I never said the historical focus on your own part of the world was bad, and I guess the different examining bodies had differing contents on their curriculums. If anything I was trying to say a focus on your own country and geographical region
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Wel I havent seen the iron man films so cant comment, after all the general shenanigans with X men, the new superman etc I pretty much just gave up on the blockbuster super hero films sinse I was tired of coming out of the cinema disappointed with yet
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I dont know. I thought man of steel was quite good with the character development.

Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
The problem ghost rider, is there is a difference between having a oh my life is so terrible aka I cant save everyone, aka I want a normal life speech which could be cut and pasted in from any other film and which you pretty much know has
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Nothing wrong with catchy lines and action once in a while, but if its got nothing to back it up with it loses its chalm pretty fast, heck how popular and well remembered are the big hollywood superhero films like the first few X men ones from even
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Ghost Rider, Im all for good action movies, plenty of fighting, lots of action, etc but unfortunately that is all they seem to have going for them. They often miss out on good character development, good story writing, and focus exclusively
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@Tom, well to be brutally honest a lot of that overblown Truth justice and honour american patriotism actually makes me quite uncomfortable in a lot of ways, and what you say about the American education system I find rather scary, particularly sinse I
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@Ghost rider, relatable doesnt mean just like me (for all some idiots in Tv think it does, though sinse that would lead me to another anti Steven moffat rant Ill stop). Relatable means someone with normal human reactions who has to struggle to cope
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
K Jones, funnily enough I heard a while ago about a researcher who managed to make gecko-like material and used it to stick his young daughter halfway up the wall just for her amusement. The pen and paper RPG Shadowrun has already gone the route
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I did notice in the graphic audio novels that were done, the author got quite in depth with some of the heroes. And in 52, there were a few misfit superheroes, the most prominent I can remember was the blimp, a fat guy who could float low to the ground
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
@Tom, Im afraid sighting the its not intended for adults criteria just isnt especially workable for me sinse Ive never really been a demographics person. I read h g wells war of the worlds (in audio admitedly), when i was 5, along with The Hobbit
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Dark, fair enough. I merely was trying to think of a possible reason why the superhero genre is the way it is. However, upon reflection I think CAEs point about wish fulfillment makes the most sense.When I look back at my childhood I loved superhero
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
If I may, Id like to say this. Nothing Ill say here is directed at anyone, so now thats out of the way, heres my thoughts. I dont understand why all characters have to be relatable. Like, sure, its nice, but if its all the time, some genres get boring
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Well ghost rider, again the problem with games is the old one, just because a person has a good idea in writing doesnt mean it is a good idea for a game. Im afraid I also have a miner problem with the character, albeit youve described him well
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Ghost Rider, I find myself agreeing a lot with Darks post above. Not only is Stygian a fairly close likeness to Batman I cant find any obvious vulnerabilities or weaknesses in his character mentally or physically. Its a common enough problem
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I agree Tward as I said this is why I personally am not much of a fan of a lot of Super hero stuff, aprticularly when you add in a tendency for predictable plots and not fleshing out the backgroun world, (indeed in a lot of marvel and dc stuff
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
well this is just my first crack at it, but I will eventually, probably in the next few days create a new one for the game Im hoping to come out of it.

Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Dark, I would hazard a guess one reason a lot of the superhero comics, cartoons, and movies arent fleshed out more then they are is because they are mainly targeted at children and young adults. Im not sure Superman, Batman, and the rest were meant
Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
I dont really feel like the idea behind the action-thrillers of the 30s and 40s was to create relatable characters so much as wish-fulfillment or entertainment, and at the time, Im given to believe the target audience was generally older than

Re: My costumed vigilante's hero card
Hello,This is a nice description. Im guessing that this costumed vigilantes card will probably be used for roleplaying sessions of some sort, or is it just made for the fun of creating a hero type character to add to writing and such? either way

I was actually going to give this to a game developer friend or an audiogame developer willing to make a game about this hero
