You ever create a superhero universe Yea Forums? GURPS FAGS NEED NOT APPLY

Any specific pairings?

That I did, collaborating with a Swedish buddy of mine. He handled the sci-fi elements while I dealt with magic, and we worked closely on regulatory organizations, as well as their structure. I think my favorite aspect was that Enkidu and Gilgamesh were indeed the first superheroes, an unstoppable force and an immovable object respectively.
Of course, the single most fantastic and unbelievable aspect of the setting was that the United Nations was actually competent.

The Universe is just a Mish-Mash of different Genres and shit like the big-two.
One of the heroes I have are

Atlas
>A guy with Severe combined immunodeficiency (think bubble-boy) who grew up watching and reading superman in his sterilized envoirment. An alien invasion happens and he gets experminted on basically becoming a superman expy, he currently works as a barista in a coffee shop and has a bit of social autism due to due to lack of human contact in his time in a bubble

In a CoC campaign a friend offered to GM for us, another player roleplaying as an elderly antiques dealer beat down an artificial Shub Niggurath calf with a wrench, does that count?

I wrote a screenplay in college where a damaged alien spaceship explodes above Earth and gives a bunch of people super powers. A few years later, a group of other alien ships arrive looking for the first one, and start hunting down the people with powers because the ping as the technology from the first ship.

The powered people end up defeating the second wave of aliens, though not without some sacrifices. The final scene of the movie reveals that none of this has actually happened yet, the whole thing is a simulation being run on the first alien ship's computer, before being judged as a "tolerable victory".

Then the ship explodes and kicks off that exact chain of events for real.

I've tried worldbuilding for British superheroes, which there is a stunning lack of.

However the problem with superheroes and the worlds they have are power fantasies with a big 'my big brother can beat you up' mentality.

It's very hard to create a hero that is somehow both strong but also idealistically bland enough to fit into a serial narrative. Spider-Man and Batman are the best superheroes ever created, but this is more so because of their rigid belief systems and the fact that their super lifestyles are constantly revealed to be self destructive, regardless of the good they do.

I.e: What if Peter Parker gave up being Spider-Man and devoted his life to science fully? How might he improve the world?

Or, what if Batman hung up the cowl and stopped trying to train a replacement, and instead devoted his time to using his trillions to help build a better tomorrow?

My current hero concept:
>A young man finds a magical crown after digging up a lost tomb in his backyard. After trying on the crown he is whisked away and given a new magically powerful alter-ego, as well as given rule over an entire realm. He has to deal with being a ruler of the realm as well as his life back home in England. He uses his wealth and new powerful alter-ego to fix problems in England, whilst also using his modern point of view and ethics to help bring the disparate peoples of the science-fantasy kingdom into a single united nation.

participated in a DC fanfiction universe and wrote a few heroes. Even lead a crossover.

There are other scientists and billionaires out there, but there's only one Spider-man and only one Batman

I've been working on one for a few years now, slowly turning into a series of YA novels.
>fairly small population of mutants around the Earth, kept secret by government group
>some mutants are trained with their powers to help Earth in secret
>powers range from comic booky stuff (albeit with pseudo-science BS to ground them a bit), abstract JoJo-tier powers, or physical mutations that make them monstrous (some of Earth's cryptids are actually mutants)
>protagonist is just one small part of this world during her own thing, works as a spy and uses her powers for espionage
>reader slowly gets world-building tidbits during her adventure

Yes but its diliberately edgy.

I did for Heroes Unlimited, although a lot of it came from the sourcebooks.

I did for a quest on /qst/, we had some fun.

I've had a few, my favourite is one where the US recruit 3 heroes in the 60s to be propaganda heroes but none of them are in on it, apart from the regular agent who leads the team and recruited them all.

Eventually the "villain", a south American super-actor snaps and goes ham on the heroes, all of whom have been restricted from using their full abilities by a mixture of conditioning, fake villains, and power-inhibiting drugs.

The real story picks up years later when the duplicate of one of the initial three decides it's time to make gubberment man pay for what he did.

sure. me and some friend had small story line where alternate versions of us and other people we knew had powers. Mostly low powered street leveled stuff, nothing crazy or overpowered. Hell the strongest hero on earth is as powerful as animated Superman (TAS). The most powerful villain is a wizard, who spells took hours or days to cast.

MilesxMJxGwen.

Currently making one. Even have a couple of written out origin issues for some of my characters. But my insistence on making everything myself will surely be my downfall.

i came up with one when i was 13. The series focused on a homeless ex-superhero who is addicted to heroin. Due to his distrust of the national superhero organization, he is pegged as a villain for every invention/thing he creates/does. However, he remains close friends with the people who were on his superhero team in the past

also had another one when i was 11. Developed this one a lot throughout middle school. It focused on the exploits of a teenage schizophrenic superhero trying to appear normal to his friends. I had planned out quite a bit of it

I liked how fucked up your heroes are

thanks man

Yes, it's like a mix between DC and Marvel shit.
Where stories on the East Coast are all light hearted Marvel stories, and West Coast allows for darker more violent stories.

Theres certain laws and regulations put in place for wars, and home life, ect.
Such as super powered individuals need to register with the government, and jobs can't decide to hire them based on powers and other various factors. Like, a construction site can't only hire people with super strength and must meet a certain quota of normal people working in a company before they can hire super people.
Of course, theres always the job of being a hero and stopping shit, which is a government job with it's own unique set of regulations, and rules.

Theres a prison in Wyoming for super criminals which is a super max prison guarded by a fuckton of people, and things.

Every country has certain "hero" exams for the most powerful individuals in the country to become one of the Top 5 Heroes to represent the country as hero ambassadors which happens every 10 years. The Top 5 are similar to prime ministers, except more public and have to show countries what kind of supers are residing in them.

Theres also the ability for main line, and sub line story continuations, where the story can branch off at any point that a writer sees fit, and can also introduce new heroes or villians to peoples rogues gallery to allow for maximum creativity and less stagnant comics. Also Perma Death exists in this universe, nobody ever comes back but the writers have agree on who to kill and when before a character is killed off for good, of course this doesn't effect spin off continuations, but for the main story canon the character is dead

I've also made several characters in my haed for my universe that will never get picked up or made.

I've been messing with an idea where people have superpowers in an otherwise low-fantasy /tg/ kinda setting, and are worshiped as demigods. Probably been done, but the spin is they've been given those superpowers by actual deities, paladin style, it's just that instead of the usual exhaustive checklist of Elf, Orc, Dwarf, Gnome, it's just people who occasionally throw carriages at palisades.

I did but I made maps first using graphing paper. Was a bit surprised when I found out Tolkien made maps too. I can still remember the basic layout too.

Is this a stealth /tg/ thread

Yeah. It isn't fully fleshed out, but it has some characters and a basic framework.
The earth has plenty of super powered people but all of them are required to register with the Guild which is a global government agency. Any that don't are illegal. If the illegal is active and disruptive then members are sent to bring them in or stop them. The more dangerous or notorious the illegal is then the stronger the member or the more supers they send to stop them.

The problem is that the world's strongest psychic has corrupted and controls the other known and registered psychics of the guild. Together they brainwash and control every registered hero. Essentially giving him complete power and control over the world.

The main hero has heightened senses (not amazing but very high), nearly indestructible to all physical threats and resistant to mental ones, and super strength. His strength grows as the series goes on and there is a canon explanation for that. He has average intelligence at best and no skills or areas of specialty. His reaction speeds are heightened, but his speed his normal. He has a overly large frame, nearly 8ft tall and bodybuilder physique. Thus it is impossible for him to hide himself.

He received his powers in a massive explosion that took out a very expensive and large remote lab ran by a HYDRA esque group. He was just a janitor working there and one of the few survivors. Two other survivors, head of security and the lead scientist, show up later in the series as major threats to him.

He tries to register but is already labeled a criminal and so he starts fighting from there. He is a hero, but the public opinion of him is that he is a criminal and a monster. A lot of his character is about how he handles situations emotionally or uses wisdom rather than intelligence to solve problems.

I want to make a modern fantasy work sometime, but I kinda feel like everything's been made already. Either you make it capes or you make it animesque.

I tried to recreate it from memory. So much adventures were imagined, including the battle of the zombies from the Graveyard marching onto the City Gates, while the Ravnica-ripoff asks help from the government controlled territory across the sea.

>Ravnica ripoff
Elaborate pls
Ravnica was an entire planet sized city.

Take notes from Shadowrun

Superpowers work through the rules Heidegger mentioned regarding "Being" in Being and Time.

As in guilds each related to one another fighting for control of the region. There were the militants, lawmakers, pirats, magicians, ninjas, zealots and basically Greenpeace. Each were led by heads that would meet on Mt. Volcano to discuss how to defeat the zombies while having an arms race with the islands from the east.

Does it have sewer eldritch zombies too?

Not exactly

>Does it have sewer eldritch zombies too?
Wasn't that imaginative as a kid.

Yes I call it "The Metaverse", it's where me and my buds played M&M and Cortex Prime (Marvel Heroic Roleplaying but without the Marvel shit).
It has this name because it's main (as in, the protagonist) super team is called "The Metaphysics" - a Vatican funded team of costumed adventurers that need to make sure magic shit is properly patrolled and out of the hands of bad people.

Some highlights:
- WW2 involved Demons. Japanese demons. Heroes manage to beat them and stop the atomic bomb (it was America last resort to stop the Demon, they actually killed the big bad evil guy as the bomb was travelling down and the two sacrificed themselves to stop it.)
- WW3 involved aliens. México won most skimirshes with an army of Luchadores.
- Rob, a robot comedian turned hero becomes the president of the united states at one point
- Makes robo-marriege legal

Yeah. People with super powers basically rampage around forever in a time loop. Sometimes individuals retain their memories across looping time. Civilization doesn't advance much further from the modern era. Those who can remember the events from previous timelines don't see much of a point to saving people or conquering the world, they mainly carry out blood feuds against one another.

I might be mistaken, but doesn't the Shadowrun setting take pretty much EVERY urban fantasy trope and jams them into itself?

Not too familiar with urban fantasy troops so you'll have to enlighten me

Several. One is a thought experiment on how a world that is exactly ours turns into a superhero world where all myths are true and physics work by comic book rules. It involves a concept of Nives Magic Goes Away series, the asteroid belts, and humans actually being a clone from one of the eldest races of the universe.
The second is a repository for all my superhero characters from many rpgs, some I stole from other players and even some that I stole from threads here and on /tg/. It ended up as a universe where the heroes are much more organized and successful than any other I've seen.
And then there are a couple of ones that are just excuse-plots for my tg fetish and I would never talk about them to anyone outside an anonymous image board.

Yeah. All in my head, but its there.

Fuck off pedo

yeah i did this on e about this guy called pants man. he can become pants and fights crime

What?

You're a pedophile so get the fuck out

Nah, just one off heroes that pop into my head

kinda played with the idea for a while, never really got anywhere though.

How do you figure?

I just finished putting together my unified origin story, and I've got my key characters figured out.

Lets hear it user.
Mine is pretty generic but it hints at future evolution of the character as the series goes on.

Pyromaria?

I did. I hope to do something with it one day.

Please don't laugh too much
The basic premise was that there was originally one superhuman, and he used his powers to bring all his favorite comic books to life, merging reality and its events with the comic's in The Big Merge, creating a blended timeline with lots of inconsistencies and glitches spawning from the imperfect merging. In this world, metahumans and people from the comics have a stigma of being "fake" people made from the merge, and superheroes keep their identities secret to avoid the stigma.

The main plot is centered around a pair of 15 year old Supertwins, Dirk and Daria Daly; they have no powers of their own except when they make skin contact with each other, granting Dirk super speed and Daria super strength. They fight crime as a duo and are very dependent upon one another due to growing up as orphans never knowing who their family was. They live in a neighborhood called New Chic, built after forty different comic versions of Chicago were merged with several fictitious analogues in the Big Merge, turning the result into ruined and crime-riddled hellhole like Gotham and Hub City did the fusion dance. In modern times it's much more cosmopolitan, but the city itself has lots of underlying racial and dimensional tensions between "real" humans and "mergers" that originate from elsewhere.

The twins' primary nemesis is a kooky old evil genius named Doctor Neverweisser, a borderline-senile roboticist that went mad after the Merge and turned to supervillainy to cope with some traumatic incident. He's in particular focused on the twins, for reasons he can't quite recall. His crimes are often pretty silly and harmless, although he is very dangerous just for being so unhinged.

The big reveal would come much later on when the twins discover that the Doctor isn't some random old kook who hates their guts, he's actually their father. The Merge altered the "origin" of the twins to be orphans and superpowered, robbing him of his kids and wiping his mind he ever had them, but the loss was so horrible he refused to forget him, and his anguish permanently damaged his mind, so all he can remember is that the twins are important to him, and he assumes it was because they were his enemies.
There's lots of other heroes and villains too, mostly with a running theme of blending fiction and reality causing unintended consequences that fuck them over in some way, and the overarching plot would be learning what exactly became of the original superhuman who made this all happen.

yes.
i created the character, but another user universe planned out for her along with other characters i contributed in making.
sadly it never really went of the ground but i hope maybe me and him can go back to it, maybe just for fun.

It's shit just kidding sounds interesting user, hope your doing something with this

>The first was just a bunch of pastiches and ripoffs, some without even realizing I was doing it
>The other was just me thinking of stupid puns and assigning backstories to them.
One of these days size changing hero Greater Good and his evil brother Lesser Evil will make it into a comic.
One day.
Just realized I lost all my phone notes with the hero names and backstories
Never mind.

Me and my gf are working one one.
Basically, every couple of decades or so, a new wave of supers pop up. The of wave in about 1945 spawned very generic stronguys and such. Every subsequent wave creates more nuanced and weirder powers, and they end up replacing the older generation.
The god of the world sits back, and watches everyone beat the shit out of another, as he is entertained by superheroes and created them specifically for his entertainment.
I also have 5 other worlds that are in the same multiverse of different genres.

Me and my friends made one once as a joke back in highschool, we had this one friend who we kinda hated for some reason his mom got him a 3DS XL for Christmas and he sold it the next day so he can keep his shitty barely functioning regular 3DS because he was too stupid to figure out how to transfer all his shit and made him a villian whose power was to absorb all happiness from the world and we ended up writing story arcs of him trying to do evil shit.

A Deity basically the Devil as far as mythology is concerned catches the souls of a group of five archetypical youngsters from wildly different backgrounds who all are all betrayed and murdered in the same night for reasons that tie into and directly relate to one-another. The Goddess grants each of them an object they can use to call upon her strength: A Sword, a Hammer, a Candle, a Needle and a Star.

The basic plot fairly standard, for the most part, each hero wanting to pursue their own agenda and seek vengeance against their murderer yada yada edgy kids discovering the power of comeradery and friendship as they discover their mutual connections, grow into capable young-adults, and uncover the plot that brought them all to their dooms and, through that, together. Then at the end of that -let's say Season?- it turns out the one masterminding all the conflict and suffering going on is actually the setting's chief deity, a Goddess considered by the masses to be a benevolent all-mother, who upon encountering the party, and realizing they can actually pose a threat to her, glasses them and the entire densely populated city they're standing in on the spot to maintain her cover as "Benevolent Goddess of Light" instead of "Eldritch Abomination Folded into the Shape of a Woman that Occasionally Gets Bored and Causes a Biblical Flood for Shits and Giggles"

Their souls wake up back in the nexus area they started in at the beginning, with the Demonic entity they witness at the beginning of the story, who appears before them now as a dark reflection of her Sister Goddess, and utters only 4 words: "She has to die." roll credits, see you next season.

kinda. it was a parody/ deconstruction of the mcu heroes

I had an idea for one a while ago;

The cosmic embodiment of fear loses a fight against something out in the far reaches of space and is on the verge of dying. To survive, it takes a mortal as a host. This process gives the host a whole bunch of powers.

The plot would basically be the fear god thing wanting to cause fear, the kid thinking it's a bad idea, and them reaching a compromise by going around striking fear into criminals who generally have it coming. Eventually the host would get strong enough that they can go and get revenge on whatever kicked the fear-god's ass in the first place and they'd have to part ways and that's about as far as I got.

I haven't done anything with this, I just like workshopping ideas like this in my spare time.

When I was a kid in elementary school I had a sort of episodic series going on about a kid hero who was pretty much just me with generic super powers and I/hero-kid always had to thwart the plans of a gargoyle/goblin man named Foxxar who had nothing to do with foxes so it was a dumb name for him thinking back.

Foxxar always had a different plan to take over my city and he had a secret lair which was a castle but had high tech gadgets inside.

It was childish but fun to me as a kid.

Fag

Genuinely neat

Yeah, it's kinda like Worm where no one holds back with their abilities and uses them to do as much evil and good that they can think of.

The main character is this businessman character - a villain trying to orchestrate the undoing of superpowers through a slow process of destabilizing hero orgs and winning both heroes and villains to his corporation, improving the quality of life and the destruction of countries/cities while establishing laws against supers and slowly making supers outlawed until they're forced to join him and fall in place, or join him to have normal lives again.

His allies are recruited to take out catastrophic threats and appear as heroes to the public oppressed by villains, all while doing nasty shit behind closed doors, culminating in powers being removed via drinking water, food, after a natural disaster destabilizes most of the remaining world.

His antagonist would be a Taylor/Deku fusion, a girl who's fighting to keep their super society believing that society should and must readjust to the existence of powers in order to survive and become better.

The action and superness would deescalate from DBZ levels to just normal life by the end of it as the villain wins, restoring society to that of the modern day albeit better, at the cost of taking so many lives in the process, the villain now alone, unable to die because of his power, being the only super in existence.

I've been building up a cape universe for the last two years. Started out as a reimagining of some stuff I like but I slowly came up with some more original elements and lore. It's all in my head though but I wish to write about it someday.

>GURPS FAGS NEED NOT APPLY

you CUNT

fine, fuck you, I won't share my mythos then

Tell me mor

The only one I ever really mapped out in any kind of detail is one about a man who gains literal wizard powers on his 30th birthday, having been a virgin his whole life before that. He starts using his new powers to fight crime after a little while. It is a seemingly powerless world otherwise, so he is incredibly overpowered compared to all the criminals he faces at first. Mobs and gangs start panicking as he is actually doing a great job defeating the crime in his city, so they come up with increasingly desperate plans to beat him, and eventually find out the source of his powers. After that, they repeatedly start sending whores and escorts in order to tempt him into losing his powers. While most of the major villains would just be nonpowered humans who are just really clever and resourceful, one big bad ends up being a mob leader who is a wizard himself. The concept fell apart in my mind when I tried incorporating a femcel into the universe.

That sucks

I had an idea for a story about cops with superpowers but I also had the idea that the main character would have a different, random super power that would change every day, leading to situations where they have to quickly learn to use their power for the day, especially in more tense situations.

I have basic characters figured out but i doubt I'll ever do anything with the idea because I don't know the first thing about making comics and I can't draw. I'm also very lazy
