Re: Jab’s Builds! (Rorschach! The Comedian! Silk Spectre! Dr. Manhattan!)
How smart Veidt is can be easily demonstrated by his choice of alias. It takes a special kind of smartness to think, "I should come up with an alias for my deeds. I know, I'll use the Greek name of an Egyptian ruler which is best remembered as part of a poem about the transience and inevitable ...

Re: Multiple powered costumes through a ring
Hi there, My question is that I am trying to make a non-powered character that has a ring that 'summons' different powered costumes. I was thinking doing it through an Array would be the way to go. Basically making a bunch of powered costumes under it would work, I think, but I'm trying to figure o...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Sally Jupiter! Nite Owl! Rorschach!)
It's been suggested that the most horrible part, to him, is not even the deaths that will be caused by the act ... but what if it works, and the world is suddenly no longer doomed? Then all the stuff that he's done that didn't matter, because the world was doomed, suddenly matters a great deal. I'm ...

Re: The Jiro Family
About : Kyoka's dad is a famous rock composer, who at some point fell in love with Mika due to how talented she was as a musician, and whose quirk we don't know. When he an Mika got married, he took her surname, which seems to be extremely rare among men in Japan. From what I was taught a long time...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Sally Jupiter! Nite Owl! Rorschach!)
It's funny how Rorschach idolizes Truman for dropping the bomb "because it saved lives in the long run" but refuses to compromise for Ozymandias who had the same goal. There's a bit in Good Omens where a modern day witch hunter is shown what a witch execution looked like, and, despite bei...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Sally Jupiter! Nite Owl! Rorschach!)
I never read the books and barely had any knowledge of the story before watching the movie. I liked the movie but I'm sure I read that it was generally disliked by the fans of the book. Reading these bios it seems the movie was quite faithful to the source material so what was it about the movie th...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Sally Jupiter! Nite Owl! Rorschach!)
Butch: Any last words? Vic: Yeah. Rorschach sucks. The line everyone quotes about him, of course, is "all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and I'll look down and whisper 'No.'" And in the end, he is deprived even of that opportunity, for the disaster happened...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Eris! Hooded Justice! Capt. Metropolis! Sally Jupiter!)
I think the best illustration of Dan's capabilities is how easily he and Laurie take down a pair of crooks in their march towards Rorschach's cell in chapter 8 -- they're having a conversation with each other and the fighting is almost taking place unconsciously. The movie turns this into more of a ...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Eris! Hooded Justice! Capt. Metropolis! Sally Jupiter!)
More than any other, Hollis did a lot to shape my ideas about how earlier generations of superheroes should be portrayed -- and how anyone who puts them into combat is making a terrible mistake. I think it might actually have been interesting if Dan had accused Veidt of causing Hollis' death as part...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Sinbad! Roc! ERIS, GODDESS OF CHAOS! Watchmen!)
Mayfair's second Watchmen product for MEGS, the adventure module Taking Out The Trash, darkened him further by having him as the whodunnit of its murder mystery.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Sinbad! Roc! ERIS, GODDESS OF CHAOS! Watchmen!)
And then there's the TV series version of him, which goes in yet a third direction; an intriguing but strange direction, though one that gives Captain Metropolis something of a grace note.

Re: Millennium Question (DC Comics)
<nod> Both it and the revised Justice League came out of Legends. And later, both Justice League Europe and the L.E.G.I.O.N. came out of Invasion.NoOneofConsequence wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 7:39 pm DC seemed to try that a lot, using a big event to debut a new superteam. I think that is how the 80s Suicide Squad got started.

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Sinbad! Roc! ERIS, GODDESS OF CHAOS! Watchmen!)
Well to be fair he didnt have a lot of time He explicitly states that he started his plans right after the Crimebusters meeting (1966) and they paid off in 1985. Nineteen years. "You could have saved the world years ago if it mattered to you". Edit: And with regards to Nixon -- Veidt star...
