Yellowjacket (Hank Pym) 🐝 "Well, let's define life. Heomeostatis, Organization of bodily structure, Metabolism, Physical Growth, Adaptation, Response to Stimuli, and Reproduction. While the exact nature of some of those are different from a carbon-based lifeform, by this measure, Ultron and his offspring are all alive."
Even if he could get much much smaller, the world was still a very different place at 1/72nd his normal size. Something as small and and as fine as a hair hair was still for him like walking through a field of tall grass. There were even a few pebbles, or in larger terms, bits of skin flakes from a recently scratched arm.
He was again flippant about the exact nature of his creation. How much of this was an attempt for humor and how much of it was keeping it a closely guarded secret was an exercise of discretion.
"Of course there's particles with an S. I wouldn't want to be this small forever!"
He then moved from arm to shoulder. Text adapted from Silv.

Okay, I'm going to say this even though this is a WIP. The reason that the symbiotes (Venom, Carnage etc etc) have most of their powers is because they originally bonded with Spider-Man. Notably, any klyntar that isn't from that line would NOT be immune to Spider-Sense. The reason they are is because of Spider-Man's bonding (he wouldn't be a threat to himself). I note that you don't mention this immunity, but I'm mentioning it specifically now. Likewise, they likely wouldn't web in the same way. Maybe something more like a Mister Fantastic/Kamala Khan type (create a tentacle to wrap around poles and stuff).

A minor thing that Revan had also missed. Under your powers you have: Teleporter: Strength can be cosmically enhanced. Throw the strength reference up to her strength and talk about her teleporting here. Bump the app and I'll look at it again. Also, given the powerful nature of this character this is an official reminder: 5. No god-modding, power-gaming or meta-gaming allowed. If you are caught once, you will be warned, caught twice, warned again, caught three times and you will be banned from playing. There just is no way we can have a good game if players godmod. For a full definition of god-modding, read this thread, but in a nutshell this means: --Your character cannot be all powerful. --You cannot decide outcomes of his/her actions for other characters. (ex. Captain America hit Cyclops in the nose and his nose started bleeding.) --If your character gets into a fight, he can not dodge every blow. --Unless you have the permission of both Staff and the other player, you cannot kill a character. --Unless you have the other player's permission, you cannot read the other character's mind, or know things about that character that are not supposed to be known (such as a secret identity).

RED SKULL (Johann Shmidt) HAIL HYDRA!
War was unending. While others might have put down their rifles in 1945, the Red Skull did no such thing. His fight continued. The blood he spilled in the near-century since could not be measured because his hatred could not be culled. These men that he fought fought for different reasons. Some were true believers, who thought to their core that mutants were worthy of destruction. Others were opportunists who saw mutants as a convenient reason their lives had gone to shit. The reasoning, the loyalty, the conviction, none of it mattered.
All would fall before the crimson fury of the Red Skull. He was hatred personified and no lesser evil would stand in his way.
He and his own squad moved from the rooftop. "Capture any medical staff alive if possible. For anything else, there will not be enough room on the transport for surplus."
The Red Skull was at the vanguard. He regularly took on a supersoldier and his allies. Some American unwashed were not a threat to him. He greeted a purifier patrol with a welcoming volley of bullets from an MP5.
"Hail Hydra!"
Wherever there was injustice, tyranny, ruthlessness, the RED SKULL was there leading the attack on the weak and helpless! Template adapted from Silv.

Kraven the Hunter (Sergei Kravinoff)
There was nothing that was not a hunt. There was none who were neither predator nor prey. Some, those not at the apex, were both. Kraven certainly was at the apex. Yet, in spite of that fact, here he was. Here he was, in fact, for the second time in a very short while. He had escaped their prison, the Raft. He had found his way to the Savage Land, and now he was being transported to some other wholly disregarded hole in the ground.
Even in this state, he was formidable. He was a tiger in a cage. SHIELD were not fools. They took all necessary precautions and then added to them. He was in a cube of bullet proof glass at least half a meter thick. Inside of this cube, he was suspended by chains with a breaking point roughly twice that of his known strength. One chain was attached to each of his limbs. Further, there was one around his neck that went to three different points in the contraption.
His eyes glanced half-interested at the man who sought to gain his attention.
"Хн. Если речь идет о каком-то вопросе морали, я преследую более высокую цель, чем та, которую можно найти в какой-то священной книге или философском фолианте. Мой компас — когти, зубы, кровь и смерть. По этому стандарту я очень хорош."
In this moment and in this mood, he did not deign to use a more common tongue to his surroundings. If Eli knew and understood, so much the better. If he did not, that was not Kraven's problem. Template adapted from Silv.

The Beast (Hank McCoy)
The Beast was soon after teleported in by a little blue Bamf. "Forgive the impertinence of my fashionably-late arrival. I am not going to imply my journey brought me anywhere near the Land of Enchantment, even if there may have been a wrong turn."
The jovial X-man may have been a bit out of place bringing levity at a time like this and in this place, but it was all part of something else. Vampires were often very-self important, if they were anything like the occasional foe of the X-men, and really all of herodom, Dracula. Quips as it were, were then a mind game, a form of pugilism just as if he struck with a fist. Even if his were more likely to come with more flowery language than the likes of Wade.
Wait, there was nothing to fight. No vampire he could see.
The Beast moved to Kurt, lifting him in his arms.
"I have you, my friend." He then addressed his other teammate. "Jean, as I am arriving late and do not see an enemy anywhere near here, I must exercise an abundance of caution and ask for a sort of shibboleth. I will forgo a demonstration of power both for the sake of brevity and because I do not know how much you recently expended. So, I ask, who else was among us in those early days at Xavier's?"
Shapeshifters were all too familiar to the X-men. He had to be sure. Logic dictated that whatever creature could appear as Jean could not pry such information from a mind such as hers, or if it could, precaution was moot. OH MY STARS AND GARTERS!Template adapted from Silv.

Hi, and welcome to the site. There are a few things you'll need to change to get this app to where it needs to be. History: We are a site based on Earth-616, albeit one that diverged from it nearly 2 decades ago. So, Marko's history should reflect that. It can be found HERE. You can either put it in your own words or copy paste it with a citation under Other Information. Be careful though as anything after Civil War (Such as his name change from Flint Marko to William Baker) doesn't apply. It also doesn't need to be the whole thing (after all he's been around since the 60s), just the highlights. This also means that Penny doesn't exist here. Weaknesses: Weaknesses are for how a person is weaker than a normal human. If he's as vulnerable to mind control as anyone else, it isn't a weaknesses. Correct this and reply to the thread and I'll look at it again.

Standard OC disclaimer: 10. We will not permit power matching of OC's to canons. For example: An OC with a healing factor will not be as strong as Wolverine's; an OC with energy absorption will not be as powerful as Bishop; or, an OC with magic will not be as powerful as Doctor Strange. 11. The more powers an OC has, the weaker they each become. You can incorporate one incredibly awesome power, a few great ones, or a bunch of lower powered ones. A "jack of all trades is master of none" mentality is imposed. Name: Rift, as you know is the username of a long-time player. Obviously you're not trying to impersonate them/their account. However, it is potentially confusing having Rift (player) and Rift (character) when they aren't the same person (as with myself, Martyr (player) and Martyr (character)). This isn't like calling your character Batman. There's not really an explicit rule against it. Nor do I see an implicit rule against it. It is also not the same as naming your character Personman3920 after a user with that username because Rift makes sense as a codename in universe. However, it is, even if unintentional, poor form. I would therefore suggest using one of Bluebird, Luscinia, Luzon, Cardinal, Ripple, or Thrush as his primary codename. Powers: His powers require him to have a location within his direct field of view, or to have been in that immediate area before. How immediate? A few feet? A mile? These portals, once opened, can exist independently of Rift. He usually wills them to close instantly after he uses them, and can choose for how long they remain open Otherwise, they close after about thirty seconds, regardless if they're used. Suppose he chooses to open one for longer than thirty seconds. What's the upper limit? Multi-Portal: Rift can have up to six large portals at a time. Rapid-fire portal creation exhausts his powers, so creating portal after portal can burn him out. However, making smaller portals gives him more to work with. He can make about a dozen, fist-sized portals before he gets too tired. He can create millions amount of sub-atomic portals. To be clear, by six large portals you mean 3 total pairs? Likewise with the dozen, 6 total pairs? Torrent: Opens a portal to somewhere in the ocean, shooting forth a torrent of water at a target. As written this would always be water never anything else. Scatter Slap: He can touch something and open up countless tiny portals on a molecular level, getting in-between that object’s molecules/atoms/whatever. This would let him instantly scatter something across the world with his powers. Instant vaporization. The downside? He needs to keep touching that object for three, uninterrupted minutes in order to concentrate on generating enough portals at once. Once he uses the Scatter Slap, he's left incredibly exhausted and can't use his powers for fifteen minutes. Given that you already have a portal slice power, this is redundant and should be cut. Burnout: His powers are limited by distance. Whereas a Starling or someone like Lila Cheney can bring themselves across large distances with ease, Rift's powers can be temporarily exhausted if he travels too far. The farther he goes, the more it can tire him out. While traveling from New York to New Mexico is an easy trip, traveling cross-country can exhaust his powers and prevent him from creating any portals for six seconds. Traveling to the other side of the world can knock his powers out for about a few minutes. Traveling to the his upper limits can knock out his powers for ten minutes.
Power burn-out and exhaustion can also manifest as physical exhaustion. His powers don't simply turn off, but also exhaust his body. The more he uses them, the more he gets exhausted. One portal across the country is the equivalent of walking two feet for him, while more and more distance and portal-creations labor him more. His current distance limit would be as exhausting and painful as giving birth. He can theoretically go up to 200,000 km, but that would almost assuredly put him into a months-long coma or outright kill him. We don't need theoretical limits. What is your upper limit as apped? That's your limit. Also a few minutes isn't much of a limit. It's not limiting enough to really make it a desperation thing. Something that blows his powers for a day at least would be more appropriate. Eyes: The extra eyes are as sensitive as normal eyes. Can they also be poked etc.? Multilingual: Since the languages are so similar, he can also speak Spanish. They're different languages. If he also studied Spanish, sure, knowing Portuguese might make it easier, but it's not like American v. British English. Fix these issues and reply to the thread, and I'll look at it again.

RED SKULL (Johann Shmidt) HAIL HYDRA!
They always looked for a savior. The lesser beings who could not and would not do for themselves what they sought others to do for them. It was the reason that they always got and deserved the boot over their neck. If they were worthy, they would not need aid.
To make it worse, their genetic impurity was on full display on many. Horns and scales. Abilities that cannot be controlled. Skin of inhuman color. A genetic hiccup. A mistake that needed to be corrected.
The Red Skull was most often a planner. He was involved in plots around the world most of them long term. However, when an opportunity dropped itself right into his lap, he would not shun it. The chatter as they scrambled a response to what was happening spilled over into enemy channels. His channels. Hydra channels.
Some anti-mutant group had taken over a small part of the mutants' enclave, their reservation, their ghetto. These men were on the surface organized. They were organized enough to take over a chunk of land. They were organized enough to get ahold of sentinels. Still, the issue was that they were under someone else's direction. Either they would fall apart of they would be rivals. The Red Skull would tolerate neither.
So, he took a small squad of Hydra agents to not so much liberate the hospital currently being attacked but to have it change hands, to his black leather-clad gloves.
These fools would no doubt try to use the place of medicine as a bargaining chip. That was foolish. Take it. Yes. Use it for your people. Yes. However, the lives of the patients mean nothing. The doctors will only live so long as they are useful.
The Vanguard of the Fourth Reich's own helicopter landed on a nearby rooftop. No fly zones only applied if they could actually be enforced.
Wherever there was injustice, tyranny, ruthlessness, the RED SKULL was there leading the attack on the weak and helpless! Template adapted from Silv.

RUBY THURSDAY (Thursday Rubinstein)
🔴
It was a sad indictment of her situation that the supervillain known as Ruby Thursday could not get everything that she wanted alone, even from the hands of her allies, the Headsmen. She had to find assistance in certain matters from lesser beings. Not as colleagues per se. They were closer to guinea pigs. Still it meant that she had to occasionally venture from her lair and into the wider world instead of occupying herself with more important things. Her latest foray into the sort of depressing dive bar criminal peons frequented was unsuccessful. All she got out of it was the smell of stale beer that somehow hit her in spite of a lack of a nose. As she was alone as far as she knew, she made no attempt to blend in with the squares. Her body was that of a bombshell. Her dress was straight out of the 70s. It had wide lapels, was sleeveless and featured white polka dots on a red fabric divided in two by a large white belt. Around her neck was a golden sort of choker. The most striking thing however, was her head. It was beautiful. It was perfection. It was a ruby red orb about the size of a basketball that glimmered somewhat as light shown down from above.

Lyja the Lazerfist (Lauren Green)
✳️
Lyja was a soldier. Lyja was a spy. What she knew was deception and secrecy. She knew the secrets men tried to hide, not because she could read their faces or know their minds. It was much simpler. She took the form of a friendly face, or at least a neutral one. She was not a know enemy even if they were small and crawling things unknowingly wandering into a carefully laid web.
She was therefore among them as a human. Sometimes at a place like this, a hero went slumming. Sometimes a warrior spilled secrets of war. Even if this did not happen, she could enjoy this Earth concoction known as a mojito.
In her current form, she was calculated not to look all too different from anyone else.
He was a middle-aged man, short and stout. He compensated for his baldness by shaving his crown and compensated for his large nose with a thick mustache. He had, evidently just gotten off of work if his light blue shirt for "Freddy's Fix-a-Flat" was any indication. Template adapted from Silv.

THE BLOB (FRED DUKES)
One of his companions asked more about the threats they might face. "Depends on where we stumble, I guess. It's a jungle. It's always changing." Whatever it was, he would be ready.
The kid that talked to plants seemed to know the way. He gave her a warning, one that would probably not be taken well, but it was for her own good.
"Be careful what you promise here. There are plants in the Savage Land that eat people, not the other way like it should be."
What they came through after walking through a maze of plant life was a citadel of stone, broken apart and reclaimed by green over decades, maybe centuries. Everything built by man was slowly being pulled down by mosses and vines and trees. What may once have been five great pillars, north, east, south, west, and center, were at the corners of a rectangular plot about an acre and a half in area. The most mighty still stood eight feet tall and the most beaten down was little more than a stumbling block. The outer pillars had a ditch, deep enough to bury a knee, running from end to end. At the center pillar was a pile of bones, scattered by scavengers and bleached white by the sun. A couple dozen bones including multiple skulls were a testament to some awful past for this lost structure.
NOTHING MOVES THE BLOB!Template adapted from Silv.

It's that time again. It's that time to see if you're still here and a-posting. Reply to this thread NO LATER than April 15, 2024 at Noon (GMT-6) to keep your characters. The login name is what you originally signed up as. The display name is what shows when you're online. It is NOT necessarily your Discord name. Do not use Discord as a replacement for the AC. If you go to edit profile, your user name is to the upper right and your display name is the first thing in the field. Your contact preference is whether you would prefer to be contacted by PM on site or through Discord. We are also requiring that each canon you control to be active in order to keep them. To show this we need a link to an IC post either as part of a thread or as part of a solo you have done for that character since January 17, 2024. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO SUPPORT CHARACTERS OR OCs. For support characters and OCs, all you need to do is write down that you want to keep them. While you can, say, delete the section on canons if you only have an OC, make sure to otherwise keep to format as much as possible as it reduces ambiguity. [b]Your Login Name:[/b] [b]Your Display Name:[/b] [b]Your Name on Discord (if you have one):[/b] [b]Contact Preference:[/b]
[b]Canon characters:[/b] Character 1 URL Character 2 URL Character 3 URL
[b]Support and OCs I wish to keep:[/b]
[b]CHARACTERS I WISH TO DROP:[/b] IF your first character was apped or accepted after this message was posted, you don't have to reply here. You're too new to go on haitus! (but the regular posting rules still apply). If you have a canon accepted after this message, they don't need to provide a link to an IC post yet (but do still try to post with them). Byes: In sports, a bye is automatic advancement in a tournament without having an actual match. In the same way, we will allow byes here. You will not need to show a post with some characters. Instead, you can just write bye rather than adding a link. You don't need to write bye for support or OC characters. Once you have 4 canon characters (excluding OCs and support), you can take a bye. You get another bye at 8 canons, 12 canons, etc. You cannot use a bye for the same character for two ACs in a row. For example: if you play Captain America, Kingpin, Medusa, Professor Xavier, Silver Sable, Spider-Man, Millie the Model, and an OC named Casanova, you'd only get one bye because you don't play 8 characters that can use byes. You'd get a second bye if you then picked up Hawkeye and Rocket Raccoon.
