Re: The Supervillainy Saga thread

It's a reference to Baphomet. The RL slander used to frame the Knights Templar. Ah, Okay. I'm not that familiar with Baphomet (mostly familiar with his D&D incarnation) and while I knew the Templars were slandered, I didn't realize "sexy goat demon" was the specific baddy used. Well, ...

Re: The Supervillainy Saga thread

The Great Beasts The Great Beasts are the leftover remnants of the Cacophony that the Primals divided up to make the Multiverse. Essentially, they were created from literally what should not exist from the cosmos. Developing their own yawning eldritch consciousnesses, they proceeded to attempt to d...

Re: The Supervillainy Saga thread

Gosh darn it. I thought I'd been clever once coming up with "the Unsettling Omens" as an Uncanny X-Men pastiche. Interesting to see how Supervillainy just keeps dragging people in, no matter how hard they try to quit. But if all your peers and formative experiences involve laser apes and ...

Re: The Supervillainy Saga thread

John was one of the trillions of Monochromes created by the Ultranians and infused with the Ultra-Force to go forth into reality to bring order from chaos, no matter what the cost. "Monochromes" as a name here is just like next-level in terms of how many layers it works on, visually, as a...
