Idea Pot

[BentonGrey]

So i actually made a few  fun "original" to mission (don't ask for them..you REALLY don't want to "play" those):
there were an aquatic mission, where man o war and sea urchin had to investigate a spot in the ocean where a lot of ship were sunken (pirates villain, lead by a Black Manta like character...);
there were an el diablo/tombstone team-up, where they returned to el diblo's old town because a new gang had arrived and created chaos (it was cool, because tombstone was a real extremist who wanted to put everyone in jail, and el diablo was trying to explai him that he used to be like this, fighting for his territory and all...)

I really like this idea.
A lot of characters from the main games don't get a lot of attention because the games force you to play certain characters throughout early missions.  They're needed for plot progression, so I'm ok with that, but characters like Blackbird, Supercollider, Ox...  they just don't get as much attention all around.  Heck, I rarely use Man O'War when I play the campaign, and I think I've used Urchin once.

It might be nice to see a campaign that's more of a collection of side missions.  The things that happen when there -isn't- some Earth shaking catastrophe impending.


Edit:

Yes, I've been thread diving for old, neat stuff.

This is pretty much the idea behind PCT.

Tame, I really dig your idea. I hope you go through with it one day.

Yeah, Man 'O War needs a nemesis...in PCT he borrowed The Rogue's....

[Amazo Version 2.2]

This was something I had started awhile back after re-watching the Justice League cartoon with the Justice Lords. I had done a few skins for it as well. Lost it after I had to reinstall FF, and never had the energy to redo any of it. If someone likes this idea and wants to run with it, feel free.

In a world where Lex Luthor has become President of the United States, heroes have become outlawed, and super powered criminals have become the country's law enforcement. The heroes of America have gone underground, now treated as villains by the government. President Luthor has allowed crime to increase exponentially, with normal citizens living in fear and poverty.
   It is now five years later, President Luthor has refused to allow an election to take place as long as he is in power. An imprisoned Justice Society is facing execution. Their only hope is the Freedom Initiative of America. The FIA has been striking with hit and run tactics against the government, helping the American citizens acquire food, shelter and hope.
   But now, it is time for the FIA to go public with their existance. They have no choice, the Justice Society's public execution must be stopped.

Also, I do have a plan for Luthor's Ellite. It starts with a large group of super villains, with his personal bodyguard being Deathstroke. But before a hero can even get close to Luthor's WHite House, he or she would have to get past an army of Amazo Androids, followed by Luthor's mercanary army.
   As for Superman or Batman stepping in at the onset, I imagined Luthor making changes slowly and quietly,forcing other politicians to back him, either through bribery, blackmail, or threats, not publicizing his changes until it was too late. With laws already in place, the Justice League would have engaged in treason if they attacked Luthor publicly. American citizens would not know that Luthor was doing anything wrong, until he had already completely taken over.

I like this adea, has anyone attempted to start this?

Just as a note, something that could be included somewhere in the game's dialogue to give it a bit more impact.  In the real world, the President of the US can put a halt to elections and suspend the power of Congress under a major state of emergency.  not sure of the exact specifics, but if Luthor used the massive crime wave as part of this plan, and cited super powered beings as the cause of it all, he could enact a nationwide state of emergency, legally halting elections and securing his own position, incidentally making non-approved superhumans illegal and allowing those few approved to be part of national security.

Done correctly, not only would the general population go along with it, a lot would back him.  
It's all just a matter of telling people what they want to hear, and giving them a scapegoat for their own troubles.
Luthor's good at both of those.
