Fourth World Workshop (New Gods/Apokolips)
 

OK, I figured I'd at least get the ball rolling on a workshop for these guys.

Here are the Characters from Fourth World I’m interested in:

Apokolips

Darkseid
Desaad
Kalibak
Grayven
Steppenwolf
Granny Goodness
Female Furies (Bernadeth, Lashina, Mad Harriet, Stompa, Knockout)

New Gods

Highfather
Orion
Metron
Lightray
Big Barda
Mister Miracle

Of these we have a Darkseid (I), his Parademon armies, and Knockout.

There are plans in the sanctum for Big Barda and Mister Miracle.

This leaves a ton of room for operation.

I'd love to see the Apokolips troops work to synergize with Darkseid and the Parademons and tie them together into a nasty faction that brings Darkseid back to relevance.

I'd love to see the Female Furies and Granny Goodness have some synergy.

I'd love to see the New Gods work well independently but possibly boost each other as well. Metron should be a really solid support figure, IMO, and Orion should be Silver Surfer-like in power.

I've got some write ups for a few of these (Orion and Lightray in particular) that I can post if there's interest.

I'll try to update the OP with links to workshopped ideas.

I’d love to see your write-ups!

YK had a good idea in a Parademon mass movement power for Steppenwolf.
And then he obviously needs a “Born To Be Wild” power. :p

Re: Fourth World Workshop (New Gods/Apokolips)
 

Yeah, I like that. I might call it something that calls out formations or what not.

Maybe "Parademon Perimeter"?

Nice!

I was thinking about putting something together for Stompa at one point - only seen her pop up a couple times, but she struck me as pretty easy to get a handle on.

Since it's been public in the OP of my workshopping thread for a while, here's what I have for Mister Miracle:

Dude I LOVE this

Re: Fourth World Workshop (New Gods/Apokolips)
 

It was partially built on Griff's old Mister Miracle write-up. I kinda lifted that, tweaked it, and then we re-workshopped from there.

LIGHTRAY


ORION

Re: Fourth World Workshop (New Gods/Apokolips)
 

I'm wondering if Orion shouldn't have some sort of power that reflects him fighting off his "true nature" as Darkseid's son

Re: Fourth World Workshop (New Gods/Apokolips)
 

Is that something he struggles with in a tangible way during combat?

Re: Fourth World Workshop (New Gods/Apokolips)
 

See this is why I was weary of doing Fourth World- I know it's an element of his character, but I don't know if it specifically would come into play during a combat scenario

Re: Fourth World Workshop (New Gods/Apokolips)
 

So my Fourth World experience is a bit weird. I used to get babysat by our neighbor growing up. He had a bunch of the Kenner Super Powers figures on a shelf, and of course I’d just sit there and stare and ask what all their names were. If you don’t know, Jack Kirby actually got paid to redesing a bunch of these guys for that toy line, some with completely different looks, and those, to this day, are the “iconic” versions to me. It’s still weird to me that Parademons are green and yellow, and not bright red.

For what it’s worth, Orion is shown to pretty brutal and mean in the new Mister Miracle series, but this series kind of has a shaky connection to the regular continuity anyways.
