OTD

Just figured I'd make a separate one for the JLA.

I have a few minor little things going on for the time being.m Sovereign'll take a while. I'm thinking that when he comes back, maybe have the JLA, Young Justice, and JSA team up on him or whatever as he's going to be targeting world leaders this time.

Also intend to have a really short arc involving a replacement Super-Girl that isn't Kryptonian but is pretty much as powerful as one, thus making Karie a bit jealous. She's a bit more level headed and careful and more popular with people, generally. Because she actually concerns herself with more than catching heavy things and beating up the bad guys. She could teach Karie a thing or two.

And Adaptroid is essentially going to come back and make an OMAC type out of an older character I never really used. She may join the League. Dunno.

All of that sounds good to me. I was considering having Bastion do the White Martian change but it'd feel like ripping off Young Justice, essentially. I might be able to put a spin on it. I still need to make a bio for him.

I'm just doing busy one-offs at the moment. New Super-Girl, Bat-Girl's little gang raid, this thing for Flash to do, and this minor thing with Mischief. Not really trying to do anything big for a bit. Just have a bit of a calm period...well..."calm". You know.

Filler, passing the time, taking it easy... Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

setting up a few things for my characters.

Just got an idea to maybe do something like the Injustice: Gods Among Us storyline? The whole "What if Superman Lost his Crap?" thing? Not necessarily that exact story or anything but something in the ballpark.

I like it, I can see Cole going off the deep end.

What might the catalyst be?

Well he is constantly compared to Clark so he's already a bit gruffer than the original Superman, he's already had to put down his father so maybe another loss would send him over the edge.

True, though I imagine it'd have to be pretty significant. That Clark did technically kill his own wife and a city's worth of people. Cole's had to fight his own father several times up until he redeemed himself (but died in the process), his daughter's been temporarily de-powered, and he was pretty much humiliated by Sovereign. I'm also kind of trying to imagine the factions that'd form because of it. Whichever heroes and villains are on his side versus the ones against him.

So...I dunno, maybe he's tricked into killing someone innocent? Or maybe some villain attacks and the fighting obliterates a good chunk of the city because they won't let it be taken anywhere else? Ultimately culminating in his killing the

In the end it basically becomes a sort of war between the divided hero community. Some may hang up their capes after this, some may be irreparably handicapped, some maybe even killed. And however it eventually ends, maybe they find out that the Cole that lost his crap is a clone or something with all of the original's memories but lacking his iron will? So they free the original and the two of them duke it out? Or if the Superman that loses it is the real Cole, then perhaps they resort to finding the original Superman? Doubt he'd be dead yet but is probably off world or something. A little more of a stretch, though.

He could be a clone created by Sovereign developed for psychological warfare.

Not really sure he'd do that. Though I want to give some time before returning to Sovereign. Could be Cadmus. Cloning is kinda what they do.

Trying to think who would side with "Superman" in this little war. I have a general idea of who would side with him of my own characters, anyway.

Me too, I've got a good spark idea.

Cole or the Cole-Clone is starting to get more violent with criminals and is close to the edge. So Nightwing being Mr. Nice Guy he is goes to try and talk to Superman but it ends very badly for Nightwing, Superman finally snaps and Nightwing is severely injured, almost killed. Other heroes hear about this and it starts.

Sounds good to me. I was thinking Bat Woman, Vampire Bat, and Lorie (as Catalyst) would side with him, at least in the beginning. He'd maybe try to sway Wonde Woman but she'd reject him.

I'd have Green Lantern side with him, Flash against him, Deathstroke (Slade) against him, Nightingale against him, Deathstroke (Carter) with him.

let's see for mine, I think most of my heroes would side against Cole. Cumbustion, Vidar, Nightstalker, Ravager would all side with Cole. Most of my other villains would probably stay out of it

I'd also go with Mercy probably with him at first but later against him (similar reasons to Flash in the game). It might rattle Young Justice too. I could see Olympian and Mischief siding against him (Mischief because the chaos he kicks up will only be temporary and her type of 'fun will no longer exist', and Olympian because she doesn't trust anyone with Superman's level of power to be in charge of anything), Robin with him (for the sake of protecting his dad), Star-Girl probably remaining out of it. Speed and Boost with him out of fear. Super-Girl (Elle) against him and Super-Girl (Karla) undecided.

As far as Young Justice, Red Hawk is against him since Nightwing is his primary mentor.

Maybe some evil Atlantean floods the Little Bohemia island of Metropolis and Superman isn't able to stop it so that pushes him over the edge? Maybe then Superman confronts Aquaman and starts a fight with him? Then Nightwing intervenes before Superman can do something he regrets and, as a result, Nightwing is hurt in Superman's rage?

I like that idea, I was actually thinking of making Aquaman too.

Cool. I was gonna make Aqualad and Aquagirl later on anyway. This gives me a means of introducing them though they likely won't get involved for a while.

Sounds like a plan. When do you want to this story arc?

Doesn't matter to me, when.

Same here, maybe once Servo is beaten and EW is set back a bit we can do it.

Alright.
