For people who aren't super up on the character, MC2 is Marvel Comics 2, the universe that sprang up around Spider-Girl. It's a whole second-generation Marvel U where a lot of superheroes and villains are the children of the usual Marvel characters. It starts off about fifteen years in the future of the Marvel U. Or at least, 15 years in the future of the Marvel U if the Marvel U ended right at the end of the Clone Saga. |

Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: Ronin's Public Workshopping Thread
Updated with a bio. Already had that sitting around, just forgot to put it in there. Ghost Rider not linked in the bio because the Ghost Rider for that crossover was the short-lived female one that we don't have a card for. Alejandra something.

Re: Ronin's Public Workshopping Thread
I know she has a figure but pretty sure it's real expensive.

Re: Ronin's Public Workshopping Thread
It's come down in price over the years. Think it goes for $15 or so now. That's not necessarily out-of-range for me (I have the Red Hulk Spirit of Vengeance figure, which is usually listed in the $30s), but for a character that I've never seen a write-up of, it's pretty steep. (Plus she came across as a real dumb jerk in the Venom crossover)

Re: Ronin's Public Workshopping Thread
Updated the OP with a bunch of write-ups from the last year and change. Hadn't been keeping it terribly up to date. Also some write-ups from my sanctum thread that were put there because they spoiled things at the time (or just weren't easy to talk about without knowledge of On Deck stuff), but no longer do.
The organization is still utter crap, I'm sorry to say. One project at a time. |

Trying to capture his particular brand of over-zealousness. Heroic Rescue is lifted off Superman III. Wanted a "Big Damn Hero" power that wouldn't be a huge driving force behind his points. Last edited by Ronin; July 25th, 2020 at 11:58 PM. |

Anyway the premise of the book is about wacky pulp-science dimension-hopping stuff, but it's the Rick Remender "everything goes horribly wrong" version of that. Y'know; carrying plagues into worlds that have no resistance, enabling inter-dimensional cabals of robber barons, accidentally introducing future-tech to telepathic millipede death cults, and so on. Grant himself is the protagonist of the series. I think most of what I've got down, with the context of what the series is, should be fairly intuitive thematically? He's the head of his little "family" of scientists (The Anarchist League reference in the title), and he has a strong rebellious streak. The Eucalyptus is the most obtuse thing there - it's a repeatedly-referenced metaphor in the story for the way the universe branches out and splits based on people's choices, which is where the name comes from. A bunch of different Grants show up throughout the story and he has a way of cheating death. It's not always clear in the later parts of the book when you're looking at the Grant that we've been following from the beginning (which is a deliberate obfuscation; not always clear if that's important, y'know? One of the themes of the book is that the same sort of patterns play out repeatedly across different worlds). Didn't go Uncommon because he's not usually teaming up with multiple versions of himself, and it'd step on Anarchist League of Scientists mechanically. Four powers, but two are pretty niche - Mental Shield is probably also cuttable in a pinch. It comes up a few times that his helmet blocks out telepaths, though. I don't consider him thematically out-there at all; it's not a cape book, but it plays with a lot of tropes that cape books do, and there are superhero side characters in the later parts of the book. Feels natural for him to pop up in a crossover context. Figure-wise, dunno how easy he'd be to figure something out for. |
