Hall of Shame admissions
I just noticed it's pushing four years since Ares has had to add anyone to the Hall of Shame. I love this community.

Re: DC Adventures Universe History Question
The reasoning I use is that the "lantern" is Guardian technology for containing the energy of the emotional spectrum. The orange lantern is built from that base, and the Zamarons decided that technology worked better than the raw star sapphire gems. I see the Blue Lanterns as EMTs to the G...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (The Untouchables! Undercover Cops! NBA Jam!)

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Jackdaw! Jamie Braddock! Meggan! Nightcrawler!)
I tend to prefer what I understand to be Claremont's original plan for Nightcrawler's parentage, that he's the son of Mystique and Destiny. As I heard it, editorial nixed it. Unsurprisingly.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Merlyn! Courtney Ross! Saturnyne! Mad Jim Jaspers!)
Of all Marvel's all-powerful reality warpers, Mad Jim Jaspers is my least favorite, because he's just a whackadoodle with no style beyond being bizarre. Proteus, the Scarlet Witch, even Franklin Richards – they have some style.

Re: My take on Andor
Oh, I have no illusions that the series creators agree with my viewpoint. They are trying to present Karn as Andor's evil counterpart, and, well, the series is called Andor . It's just that I find almost anyone else in the series more interesting than the titular protagonist. The problem with Karn a...

Re: My take on Andor
I guess we just read it differently. As I saw it he wanted to be a cop, and when the system was corrupt (forcing him to sign a report he hadn't read or make up a resolution to the case, for example), he didn't care for that at all, even though it would have advanced him. He did want to be what he th...

My take on Andor
I recently decided to watch the Star Wars series Andor . (As a Star Trek fan, I can’t help always thinking this series should be about the home of blue-skinned aliens with antennae.) I tried to watch it when it was first release, but lost interest. Since then I’ve gotten more curious about the craft...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Gung-Ho! Bazooka! Spirit! Shipwreck! Roadblock!)
The GI Joe comic convinced me to make a pastiche of them to fill the role of SHIELD-analog in my then-current Champions campaign, replacing UNTIL. I reworked VIPER to use more real-world equipment, tactics, etc., and it was actually pretty memorable. Larry Hama inspired me to look into how things re...

Re: Heavy Hitters and Skillmonkeys (Silver Age Superman)
I've never really bought the Space Marines as high-PL; they're not that much better than other basic infantry. But then I was never that taken with them anyway (I'm an Eldar guy from before there were Aspect Warriors).

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Kate Neville! SHIELD Super-Agents! Maria Hill!)
I also resolved, in my own version of the MU, the status of SHIELD. My take on SHIELD is that it's like NATO, a treaty organization in which the US pulls most of the weight. When the president "dissolved" SHIELD, he pulled the US out of the treaty, leaving SHIELD a shell of itself and basi...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Kate Neville! SHIELD Super-Agents! Maria Hill!)
I used Hill and the Contessa as NPCs in my MU campaigns. My read on Hill was similar to my take on J. Jonah Jameson; she has a near-pathological distrust of people who conceal their identities (a weird quirk for a spy), on top of being a military-focused hardass. She distrusts power centers outside ...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Care Bears! Street Fighter VI! Chun-Li!)
I'm so glad to see the Care Bears finally reposted. Their original posting, along with the Archie cast, convinced me of Jab's genius.
