Re: Perpetua
God this character is so stupid. It seems like every writer is trying to be the next Grant Morrison or Geoff Johns and overcomplicate things to the point that we need another reboot.Sidious wrote: ↑Tue Jul 28, 2020 12:24 pm
Perpetua
BACKGROUND
Real Name: Perpetua
Occupation: Universal Builder
Legal Status: NA
Identity: No Dual Identity
Other Known Aliases: None
Place of Birth: NA
Marital Status: NA
Known Relatives: Unnamed siblings; Monitor, World Forger, Anti-Monitor (children)

Past Group Affiliations: Doom
HISTORY
Perpetua is the first creator and the mother of the Over-Monitor, Anti-Monitor and the World Forger.
Long ago, a race of Super Celestials, were sent by the Judges of the Source to create whole new systems of life within the greater Omniverse. However, the one named Perpetua, the bad seed among her kind, desired to eliminate the judges by using the Seven Hidden Forces to make a Multiverse she could use as a self-sustaining weapon. She later created her children from the Overvoid, Mar Novu, Alpheus and Mobius, to monitor each realms of matter within her Multiverse.
Five billion years later, Perpetua made Human/Martian hybrids meant to fight and live forever called Apex Predators who ruled the Multiverse and serve as soldiers against the Judges of the Source. However, the Judges of the Source were alerted of her actions by her sons, and they sent the Cosmic Raptor to seal her and the Totality of her power away inside the Source Wall which the Raptor created. After, the Multiverse was remade properly and Perpetua was now forced to watch as her children grew weak without her guiding hand. She is the most feared being in the greater Omniverse, out of all her brothers and sisters tending the infinite Multi-verses.
At some point after the Source Wall breaking during the invasion of the Dark Multiverse, Perpetua's power in its Totality crashed on Earth while Lex Luthor later released her, causing the Source Wall to explode.

Re: Sidious' FASERIP Builds: Nova, Silver Surfer, Perpetua, X'Hal
I never heard of Perpetua before.
Yay, X'Hal! What a GREAT build, Sidious!
X'Hal has all but disappeared these days, I believe. I always saw her as DC's closest character to <<but not equal of>> the Phoenix in terms of high-energy bolts, Force Field, Flight Speed, and Strength level, but not the mental abilities or psychic stuff nor overall stats per say.
I am so enjoying these pages!

Re: Sidious' FASERIP Builds: Nova, Silver Surfer, Perpetua, X'Hal
Oh! Is X'Hal more of a Phoenix? I thought that she was more of a Her (related to Adam Strange)?

Re: Sidious' FASERIP Builds: Nova, Silver Surfer, Perpetua, X'Hal
Hey! You are right, Spectrum. X'Hal is way more like Her than a Phoenix. My error. ( I had forgotten about her--Her.)
Phoenix is really unique and does not have a match in the DC universe (that I am aware).
Re: Perpetua
what gets me is these characters are so godawful powerful you can't even stat them. They just do... whatever... they want.
Technically there should never have even been a fight against her, as she could just hand wave the heroes dead in an instant.
This stinks of Editorial getting in the way of storytelling.
Man, I hate super cosmic beings.

Sorry, I came off more gruff than I intended. It was really more of a question than a statement. I don't know enough to make more than a guess.
Ooooh, golden!
I guess Paige Guthrie kinda falls in there too.

Re: Sidious' FASERIP Builds: Nova, Silver Surfer, Perpetua, X'Hal
Oh, so THAT'S X'Hal's backstory- looks like it was mostly listed in The Omega Men, a book I only know about because it had a brief crossover with The New Teen Titans and the fact that Lobo debuted there. DC weirdly completely dropped that book from existence- they're barely in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, and none of the characters factored into any important DC stuff post-1990 or so.
It's good to know her history, though! I didn't realize she was more of a standard-issue Empowered Being and not the forebear of the Tamaranean race or anything.

X'hal was described as a high-energy wielding being, with flight, force-field and almost Superman level strength.
Sidious did a fantastic write-up of all of these abilities with a great pic too.
