Marvel Studios Announces Squadron Supreme Film for March 25, 2016

Posted on August 6, 2014 by jameshooks
Release date to coincide with Warner Bros’ Superman V Batman: Dawn of Justice

Not to be outdone by their distinguished competition, Marvel Studios has announced that they will release a movie based on their Squadron Supreme line of comic books.

Squadron Supreme, first created in the 1970s by Roy Thomas and John Buscemi, are a team of superheroes analogous to the DC comics superteam The Justice League, which will first debut in the upcoming Zack Snyder directed Superman V Batman, also set for release on March 25, 2016.

Snyder’s film, starring Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman, was originally set for release for 2015, then pushed back to May 6, 2016, the same date as the yet untitled third Captain America film is slated for release. It is unknown at press time whether the dates will change again.

“Surprise, motherfuckers!” Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige stated from the Marvel Studios offices in Burbank, CA. “Thought you could get away from us, didn’t you?”

The core Squadron Supreme team consists of Hyperion, who is pretty much Superman, Nighthawk, who is Batman dressed as a black hawk, and Power Princess, who is exactly, and I mean exactly, the same damn character as Wonder Woman. Look at her.

It’s goddamn Wonder Woman.

“Realizing that they still don’t know what the fuck they’re doing,” Feige continued, “we just said ‘fuck it, let’s fast track this thing’. It still shows we can throw together a straight rip-off of the Justice League and put more thought into our cinematic universe than the Warner boys down the street.”

Adding insult to injury, Marvel has also countered the nine new dates that Warner Bros. announced with nine films of their own.

Alpha Flight – 08/05/16
Howard the Duck – 06/23/17
NFL SuperPro – 11/17/17
Black Captain America – 03/23/18
Black Female Captain America – 07/27/18
Black Female Atheist Captain America with a Green Card – 11/16/18
Squadron Supreme 2: The New 53 – 04/05/19
Ultimate Spider-Man: F*** You, Sony, You’d Let Us Buy The Rights Back for a Ford Taurus and a Handy from Quesada – 04/03/20
Runaways (finally) – 06/19/20

When asked for comment, no one at Warner Bros. knew who to talk to, the public relations team were updating their résumés, and Snyder was seen walking into a conference room with a handful of pencils, muttering “here we go again. Shit.”

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, starring a tree and a raccoon, is in theaters now.

I want to thank Thorpocalypse ahead of time. Many of the builds I use in this campaign will be based on work you have already done. I'll be using this thread to "hide" builds as I prep for upcoming games. It's an MCU universe lite with comic history as inspiration.

My first story arc will be a variation on the Nefaria Supreme vs Avengers (#164-166)
- They'll go through three sessions fighting a set of criminal organizations and a crew or powerhouses, then a crew of speedsters, then a squad of photonic flyers. The idea is to get them use to fighting against three fairly basic power types that can mesh into a Hyperion type of bad guy. After which they jump a PL. I might use this as an opportunity to introduce an alt-version of Simon Williams.

The second story arc is inspired by the Serpent Crown, Avengers (#141-149) but using Norn Stones. The Norn Stones are in the hands of Corporate leaders who had planned to use the criminal organizations and Simon Williams. Unsatisfied with the results they pull together a Squadron Supreme who will attempt to set up the island of Genosha as a safe haven for their illegal activities, one which will be the weaponizing on the growing mutant population.

This ultimately leads to the third story of a new popular (ish) religious cult called The Children of Thanos resurrecting the mad Titan. Sans the Infinity Stones the group uses the Norn Stones to bring Thanos back to life. His time with death though has driven him mad and he will attempt to use the Norn Stones in a similar manner he did the Infinity Stones in the comic book.

The first story arc is the easiest and I suspect it's results and my crazy players decisions will force me to make many adaptions as the campaign progresses. My goal is to explore the post Snap world and the rise of mutants in the MCU. I especially want to explore governmental, corporate, and religious reactions ... remaining true as possible to the MCU information we have and adapt to it as more is released

The retraction of the Sokovia Accords was especially good news for the campaign
