What does Tats wear on her bike?

>>84995738
Depends on how fast she has to get on her bike to get the fuck out of dodge.

Also, working on the AC(oSF) murder mystery thing in the pastebin right now. It's not really fully a true story since I'm terrible at dialogue, but it's coming together.

>>84995862
Considering her bike is a shitty old Soviet monstrosity she likely can't go too fast because it'll start shaking itself to bits.

I think I have a pretty good outline for the whole CEO Slick coming into villainy arc now.

http://pastebin.com/gAKtFuJV

So next is a Stretcherous story where she teams up with Bombastic (in his old suit) and they go raid a lab together.

>>84996099
It's probably not even Soviet made, it's been rebuilt so many times that it lacks any of the original parts.

So it probably begins with a fight in the /co/ floating island hanger fight ring or whatever that's called.

Stretchy powers vs exploding powers.

Should be some balloon physics going on here.

>>84996526
It could be some cheap Chinky bootleg. Some of those have gotten some crazy mileage, even if they look like utter shit by the end.

Dude, her ribcage would be like a foot higher than it needs to be in that image. Her torso is so stretched out it can only mean she has elasticity powers.

He's a character who only appeared in this doodle until last thread.

He was pretty much as obscure as one of the characters we discuss in these threads can be while still having some visual design.

We actually have dozens of characters like him who aren't on the wiki since they're just names and designs waiting to be used in a grater narrative.

He was a bit piece character that's only just now getting attention because a useful spot for him has turned up.

It's been recently decided he was a Silver Age era villain who was an enemy of Mace Pike, Belle's father. A businessman with a bit of a sick fascination with pollution, he's the one who pulled the strings leading to CEO Slick unearthing the creature in the oil.

Oh, did you read the thing in the pastebin?

I'm open to feedback with that.

>>84997590
So it begins in the middle of their match in the hanger fights.

Stretch has the edge on Bomb in speed in mobility, but Bomb is a fukken tank able to take anything she throws at him and then blow it up in her face. If Bomb could catch her could win, and if Stretch could actually move him, she could win. So it's anyone's match.

How to do this?

>>85004402

The 90s were unkind to them.

They would've been right at home in any age prior to the EXTREME age where every villain and even most of the new heroes were blood thirsty.

I just don't think anyone would actually read it unless I post it directly into the thread, and also this is to bump the thread.

Barron Waste, a retired supervillain, washes up on shore with his lungs full of crude oil.

He's in costume so the Justice Coalition get a blip on their radar from this.

Spearhead never fought the guy personally, but Harpoonist used to regularly thwart him back in the late 70s/early 80s well before Belle was born.

Spearhead tells the team the backstory of Baron:

The Baron was a very cartoonish villain. So while he was evil, he was that reliable, amiable kind of evil, the kind you could send the Youth Coalition to battle and none of them will come back in pieces. His secret identity (along with Mace's and a bunch of other supers') was blown during the EXTREME age (90s), after that Baron Waste retired and fell off the radar.

The Coalition isn't happy to find out a retired villain has been murdered either, they push the idea that villains can safely reform if they want to - though it seems the Baron wasn't entirely reformed.

Maybe Diving Belle will be the one to point out that even though he was a super villain and an overall bad person who committed a lot of evil and her dad had to fight him, they still have to take this case seriously.

Given an oil monster was just discovered they can't help but feel there's a connection.
There's all kinds of boats out there guarding and researching the well the monster is still mostly trapped in, but some of it could've escaped.

They test the oil in the Baron's lungs to see if there's anything unique about it. Surprise, surprise, it's monster oil, how they know this?
We could say it's something unique to that particular well, like a certain type of microbe.
Once they've identified the oil, next they need to figure out where this happened.

They begin by check the sea currents and then plot out where he could've been carried in from.
That's not too terribly exciting.

>>85000331
Hopefully her power covers that.

>>85013995
While the kids are out, Spearhead gets a visitor, it's a representative from /co/ntainment, the current organization that usually cleans up the aftermath of these super skirmishes. She's claiming they have jurisdiction over this case since the oil in Baron Waste's lungs matches the oil in the haunted well, which they are in the process of securing. Spearhead claims this is a JC case since the deceased in question was a supervillain and supervillains, even retired ones, turning up dead is a sure fire sign of worse things down the line. When the agent doesn't relent and asks to see the body, Spearhead claims that he can't release the body to her anyway since he is not technically an active member of the Justice Coalition anymore and that she'll have to wait for his granddaughter to get back. The agent makes a phone call.

The AC(oSF) aren't finding anything and assume he was probably murdered on a boat, as they are deliberating their next move, a /co/ntainment ship approaches them.

We cut back to Spearhead, still stonewalling the agent at the door until he sees the kids coming back much sooner than he expected. Now he has no excuse to not let the agent in. The agent introduces herself as captain of /co/ntainment's R-Squad, code-named Rookie. Reef laughs a little at this "Captain Rookie" and asks how that happened, he gets a blunt nonchalant response that her first team all died on a mission before she got a new nickname and it stuck after that. She then explains that she was dispatched here since she has a minor psychic ability to communicate with ghosts, and that she's here to ask the Baron who killed him. At this, Spearhead walks off to make a phone call of his own, he comes back shortly thereafter and announces that the Justice Coalition is sending in their own specialist with a similar power who has met the deceased before.

cont.

>>85014289
Before too long a specter appears, a girl in a hood with a green glow about her. Spearhead introduces her as Wisp, a former member of the Youth Coalition and now an "afterlife counselor" (they go to haunted locations try to help the spirits of the departed move on, a dangerous job, as any horror film will tell you, but one that's important to her). She's not officially JC affiliated anymore, but when shit gets too paranormal for them she's usually available to lend a helping ectoplasmic tendril. She's mostly moved on with her life and isn't bitter like Liberty Lass, but she's definitely got reservations about how things were handled.

Rookie and Wisp approach the body and can tell the Baron's ghost is still hanging around trying to be unseen until he can depart this mortal coil. They can see him despite him not wanting to be seen by present company and introduce themselves. Baron has little to no interest in Rookie, but then takes notice of Wisp saying that brings him back to when he used to be a big shot in the super villain world, he goes on to say he always resented having to retire early when his secret identity got blown back in the 90s and his company was bought out from under him.

Then we can do a flashback to Slick, starting to drip with oil, searching the computers to see who discovered that well, who authorized that rig, and who messed up the situation so bad he had to go out there in person. While digging through the files, he finds some inconsistencies in the fiances, then he finds a backdoor into the system, Slick is now pissed. He discovers the company's former owner planted spies before he was ousted and set up the backdoors in the system so he could still subtly manipulate where the company drilled. Slick begins systematically eliminating the spies in his ranks, first calling them to his office and firing them for corporate espionage, then finding that he can move the oil oozing from his body at will to threaten them.

cont.

>>85014334
Slick takes a boat out to find a surveying ship he's found the Baron to be aboard. Baron Waste is waiting for him, in full costume, Slick is annoyed and asks him what he thinks he's accomplished with all this. Slick can't understand the Baron's motives since there was no profit in his actions. Baron Waste tells him he had been secretly plotting ever since he got outed and lost his business empire to young Slick, he's been playing the long con to get some of his more dastardly plans accomplished, the haunted oil well was something he discovered shortly before the super leaks of the EXTREME age, it was going to be his magnum opus to unleash a creature made of pure pollution upon the Earth, but he just didn't have the time needed to do it before he lost everything. He spent years using what remained of his influence worming his way through the cracks he put in his old empire until a rig was finally built over that well. The first oil samples from it were amazing, the black sludge would spread and seek out life to destroy all on its own. He then looks at Slick, who is now dark with an oil coat "But you, you've exceeded everything I could've hoped for, now the monster is in you and you can control it." Baron begins to laugh he wheezes out an "I'm jealous!" and continues to laugh. Slick is now past his breaking point, he grabs the Baron by the mouth and begins shoving the oil down his throat (we could do a villain on liner here, but I'm not sure Slick is the type). Slick then tosses the body overboard and takes the ship back to port. Surveying ships are expensive after all.

Back in the present, we see Rookie and Wisp, they ask the Baron who killed him. He says nothing, then begins to laugh, a deep laugh free from any sludge in his lungs before saying "My successor!" as he continues to laugh before moving on.

We then see Slick at his desk forming shapes with the oil and holding his head with a pained look. "I should've charged him for the free sample."

>>85014375
So that's where I'm at with CEO Slick's entrance to the supervillain world.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Additions? Subtractions?

>>85014375
Spooky.

I like that the Baron is ultimately pleased with the outcome despite being, y'know, dead. I wonder how Wisp and Rookie react to all the cackling.

>>85015113
He died as he lived: a toxic hazard.

Rookie is well enough versed in the business to know there's more oil in her foreseeable future. Wisp would probably be more disturbed since Baron Waste is far more evil now than she remembered him, but he's at peace now.

>>85014375
I feel like the Baron could feel a bit more sympathetic and fun if he tricked Slick into releasing the oil monster specifically to spite Slick and turn his greed against him, more than a desire for destruction. Like, he did mostly reform, but wanted to have one final hurrah at his usurper's expense.

>>84996526

>how about both?
>a chinese bootleg of a soviet bike

Could there be a worse vehicle?

>>85016215
Yeah, main thing holding me back is not being able to get dialogue right. Sometimes it comes to me, but most of the time it ends up flat when I write it out.

The Baron would be expecting Slick, maybe ask if he remembers him or something. During his explanation of how he pulled it off it should be full of puns.
I can't come up with the puns and the word play really needed to pull that off.

Got any jokes or puns that the Baron would be likely to say?

am i the only one who thinks Golden Girl is the worst trash character ever?

It's the only project I've seen get any work done for it in the past while and the premise is what if a young sidekick had huge tits...

I mean I know /coc/ never had much integrity but christ, Ma'am Aries is cool because it least it's her power or whatever but really, the only aspect about Golden Girl is Wacky big tits.

What's her personality besides just being a young girl who's irritated with her big breasts?

She's the base essence of "I like huge tits". BQ wrapped it into a narrative, Ma'am is a pure parody, but GG is just the tits and nothing else. She has nothing going for her.

Came across this from the blog of an artist named XPI Sigma.

>>85017251

I don't like the concept either but somehow it seems to be working with the comics done so far, breast quest on the other hand is truly a joke that went too far.

>>85018498
BQ is without question the most structured, developed, and well put together thing /co/ has ever produced. It is without question the best material that has every risen from these types of threads.

>>85018568

I'm not talking about the effort put into the project but the ridiculous concept itself, then again, it wouldn't have gotten that much atention from /co/ in the first place if it wasn't such a fetish bait.

>>85020222
Well, it's technically true. More people outside of 4chan are starting to draw her.

>>85016215
We have more than enough sympathetic villains. Admittedly, Belle is high optimism, but with the Baron already dead, it's not like he could be helped or redeemed.

>did you read the thing in the pastebin?

yeah but not everything, I hardly know any of the characters other than Slick which I worked a few times with and Baron waste from the last thread.

well I'd say just let the Baron go insane in his last moments, laughing like a child who successfully pulled a prank on someone else, his laugh should drive Slick to madness, Barons reasons should be petty and his last speech infantil.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyhpi47ClFE

>>85021387
Yeah, this was his last hurrah. He knew Slick would find him soon enough and wanted to laugh in his face before dying.

He can still be full of puns without being sympathetic.

>>85022259
Baron's last words were pretty much that.

so i just had an idea of what my magic mary sue and science mary sue could build together

a giant wand spaceship. like a frigate from halo, but with a huge wand built in using magic conductors and big spinning circles with runes. and yeah, pretty cool. im really simpling it down a lot right now cuz im kinda high.

I love villianous speeches.

>I was never a great villian but not because I wasn't the fastest or the smartest, I always thought, there is no point in winning, what would a villian do without a hero, he serves no purpose, that is why I always knew when to pull back, to keep the game going for as long as possible, it was so much fun which is why I couldn't accept that it ended in such an unspectacular way, I knew the end would come some day, you get older and tend to forget and but I wanted to never be fogotten. It should be the last act, even possibly the end of all, that is how I saw my last plan all this time but I got something better, I created you, an immortal monster who'll carry the name of his creator.

>NOONE WILL EVER KNOW.

>but you'll know and the world will know you, a shady bussiness man turned into a cartoon villian, a source of endless contamination I unleashed upon the world and now its your time to play the game for all eternity, I'm so jealous, my monster.

>>85025300
I like it!

Slick keeps slipping the longer he's stuck playing this game of heroes and villains, trying to figure out how to make a profit while the monster puts ideas in his mind.

>>85021387

I realize he can't be redeemed, but it feels like a good sendoff- and makes Slick look that much more sinister. if the Baron comes off likeable in his farewell that helps inform the reader's impression of Slick.

>>85026597

wouldn't it be better if only Slick knows the true Baron and everyone else thinks he was a sympathic villian?

>>85027186
Why would they think that?
All his ghost does is reminisce a little before they ask him who killed and then he just laughs saying it was his successor before moving on to whatever afterlife there might be for him.

>>85027549

you know that scene could be changed right, you just have to skip the laugh, if you want him to be sympathic, you'd have to change that scene anyway.

>>85027737
I don't really want him to have any actions that invoke sympathy in that scene though.

He got what he wanted and more, and also got away with it in a way. The only one in the group who could feel sympathy of any kind would be Wisp since she knew him back when he was still active.

>>85035156
I don't think there is one yet in the setting.

>>85035156
I propose we brainstorm one, for the sake of this threads survival.

I was thinking a female version of the Scorpion King, a really buff Egyptian goddess

>>85035743
Sounds like a Skathi villain.

>>85035817
Yeah it feels like there's not enough lore around Skathi. Scorpion body with female torso, yay or nay?

>>85035898
Definitely yay on the torso. Not much point in making her buff if she's not going to have the muscles that are the most fun to see.

>>85036129
True. Maybe one of her arms can be a claw. Tbh I'm picturing Furiosa from Mad Max Fury Road, thus her name could be Scorpiosa. I'm open to other name suggestions though

>>85033350
If they weren't being used there's no real justification to stop them from being repurposed. Worked out well enough with Baron Waste.

Okay, fine. Here's the lineup of what I have so far, with heroes on the top, villains on the bottom. I haven't come up with too much other than that at some point in the past there was a Justice League kind of deal with all the heroes as part of a team, only to break up when one member (Nihl) became violently insane.

>Accelerator: The first superhero, at the time only an undergrad lab tech when he got caught in his university's particle accelerator and gained the ability to "accelerate" his atomic makeup, giving him what amounts to super-speed. Was the one who proposed the team, and was the de-facto leader. Still feels guilty about Nihl going insane, and is mentor to Noire. Has gone from undergrad tech to physics professor.

>Bolt Thrower: An English immigrant and crack shot who took up fighting crime after his parents were killed in a random break-in. Uses a wrist-mounted crossbow and a variety of special arrows. Jaded and cynical, prefers to use lethal force if he can in the wake of Nihl's atrocities. Doesn't speak to any of the old group.

>Golden Colossus: A humanoid machine created by Doctor Lycosa to aid in his goal of forced human evolution. Became self-aware and rejected the Doctor's agenda, choosing instead to be a guardian of man. Always intrigued by the nature of man.

>Noire: Nihl's younger sister and a talented psychic in her own right. An art student at the same college Accelerator teaches at. Errs on the side of non-violence to spite her older brother's brutal legacy, instead prefers to spook criminals into surrendering by "faking" paranormal phenomena. Struggles with the guilt by association with Nihl as well as her conflicted feelings about him. (Yes he's a homicidal sadistic maniac, but he's still family, and he used to be a nice, albeit troubled guy...)

>>85042992
It's not porn, so it belongs here in the /co/ thread.

>>85042843

And now, the bad guys, part 1:

>The Red Ghost: The only man to come back from a secret Russian military expedition to Chernobyl. Skilled mercenary and assassin with highly corrosive, radioactive skin. Can channel that power through his gloves to melt through virtually anything. Silent, deadly, and professional.

>Doctor Lycosa: A greek scientist suffering from severe burns after a mechanical prosthetic he was testing was struck by lightning. Turned to cybernetics to replace his horrifically damaged body after discovering the lightning strike gave his body enough of an electrical current to power plenty of mechanical attachments. Sees transhumanism as salvation and desperately wants to "upgrade" the world.

>Antonio Blanco/Snakeskin: A reptilian crossbreed originally created by the government to be a weapon. Terrorizes the swamps and the sewers as a flesh-eating monster. Pretends to be a mindless monster, but is actually highly intelligent. Developed the persona of "Antonio Blanco," a ruthless gangster with a "terrible skin condition." Has risen to become one of the most prominent narcotics kingpins, with no one the wiser.

>Nihl: A powerful psychic who in his freshman year of college became a superhero to work out his various emotional issues (depression, social anxiety, etc.) at the advice of senior student Accelerator, who's secret identity he'd deduced. Friendship with Accelerator set up what would become the team. Was at odds with other members of the team over his increasingly violent and sadistic methods, especially with regards to interrogation. Resented Accelerator for being more popular and beloved, as well as more powerful. Eventually snapped and replicated Accelerator's origin, giving himself super speed, but also breaking his fragile psyche and causing him to go on a cross-campus killing spree. Currently in jail, biding his time while reading various philosophy texts and listening to his black metal collection.

>>85043038

It's a good color for speed, sanic or not.

>>85043354

Part 3:

>Jezebella: An older psychic who in her teenage years used to use her powers to aid in her thieving. Decided to retire after stealing the Maschera di Carnevale, a mysterious mask that strongly amplifies the powers of the wearer but requires them to absorb the emotions and feelings of others to "feed" it. Decided to become a psychologist to find food for the mask. Became a campus therapist for the uni that this all occurs at. Was Nihl's therapist and, rather than cure him, would encourage and expand on his neuroses and general anomie in order to produce more intense emotions for her to drain. Hardly even cares about his resulting killing spree, since it spread more feelings and left her with plenty of traumatized students to counsel. Generally amoral hedonist/pleasure-seeker. Likes to use sexuality to make others uncomfortable.

>>85043710

Notes on psychics in this setting:

>Psychic powers are derived from an active pineal gland which taps into "quantum brainwave particles" which implies psychics are manipulating things via sub-atomic interaction

>Psychics are capable of telepathy, telekinesis, extra-spatial awareness that is often mistaken for precognition

>Psychic powers are genetic, psychics taught from a young age to keep their "gift" a secret.

>Emotional state of people is reflected via quantum brainwave radiation, forms "Aura" that psychics can pick up on

>Non-consensual mind-reading is frowned upon among psychics: considered mental breaking and entering if not rape, also if not done with care the sheer mass of the invaded mind's thoughts can overwhelm the invader's mind

>Psychics have been around for centuries

So yeah if you guys haven't figured it out by now, this anon is more of a writefag than a drawfag (I run a quest over on Anon-Kun) so I don't really know what I'd do with this OC, since in all honesty I can't do much. If I had a willing artist, I'd probably consider doing a webcomic or something.

Dat's some nice action, there.

>>85009220
Stretch tries wrapping around him, but he explodes causing Stretch the stretch out and go all wispy, like a flag in the wind, before getting one of her legs around one of his legs from behind and tipping him up, then using the ceiling as leverage to hoist him into the air and drop him out of the ring.

Then i think as part of the fight prize, Stretch is given information about the location of a lab she inquired about.

I guess Bomb overhears this and follows her to see if has any clues about his own condition. He should seem very menacing, like he's holding a grudge for losing the fight, but that's only the impression created by his suit.

>>85055244
Yeah but that doesn't do anything for the costume design. Star Trek communicators are aesthetic as fuck and would really help sell that as a space design rather than what I initially assumed was a gender swapped Liberty Lass.

>>85043710

So after more dicking around with heromachine, I came up with more character ideas, this is what my roster looks like so far.

The new folks:

>Blue Lightning: Teenage genius tinkerer who accidentally zapped himself while working on a tesla coil, resulting in his body being a massive electric generator. Built a powered suit (charged by his body) to fight crime. Suit enhances strength, has internal grappling hook and skate wheels, can project electrical bolts. Much more lanky and thin than image shows, heromachine is a bitch like that.

>El Fuego: Hotheaded, tomboy MMA instructor who discovered magical lucha mask that greatly improves the strength agility of the user dependent on their willpower/courage. Tends to be headstrong and impulsive. Generally hair-trigger temper hides a deeply caring and compassionate heart.

>The Green Ghoul: Former theater actor and current king of the jobbers. No powers, average physique, would be a total joke if not for generally good grasp on supervillainy. Has made relatively good name for himself in spite of terrible track record thanks to good theatrical presentation.

>Major Mayhem: Result of a CIA op in the Vietnam era to create a special black-ops group called the Steel Skull Battalion. Went rogue (or did he?) and vanished in the jungle, spent decades building an international paramilitary coalition. Generally sociopathic and cruel, loves war for the sake of war, violence for violence's sake.

>Killer Bee: Megalomaniac bee keeper. Breeds africanized honey bees, uses pheromones to control them. Also has flight pack (wings + jetpack) and laser gauntlets.

>>85066724
Presentation is an all too often neglected art in supervillainy.

I miss that anon who had that idea of two friends who were putting on street performances of heroes and villains until some crazy girl thought they were real heroes and villains and tried to kill them.
Then they had to get real about it.

>>85066681
Well, there are a little over 70 pages left before it catches up, so I'd hope so.

>>85066724
>>Major Mayhem: Result of a CIA op in the Vietnam era to create a special black-ops group called the Steel Skull Battalion. Went rogue (or did he?) and vanished in the jungle, spent decades building an international paramilitary coalition. Generally sociopathic and cruel, loves war for the sake of war, violence for violence's sake.

Sounds like a General Freedom rogue.

>>85067082
So about 24 weeks to go until it catches up.

>>85067293
Around that, yeah. Ideally issue 5 would be finished before the end of the year, which should leave some pretty generous room for error there.

>>85067229

I guess it's possible, I'm not sure if there's a pre-existing canon I want to weld all of this to yet, but Major Mayhem would be a fun archrival to General Freedom, a whole twist on the Red Skull/Captain America thing.

>>85067464
Yeah, there's still about 6 months worth of pages to be uploaded to the comic site with the MWF schedule.

>>85068571
Yeah, just commenting on the naming and theme.

>>85070524

In all honesty, I really like Major Mayhem as a character because he's relatively flexible- he can be used for serious intrigue-filled MCU-style plots as well as commentary on America and the military-industrial complex, or he can be behind a plot to unleash a hoard of killer emus on Australia for his own personal amusement. There's a lot of leeway there to tell all kinds of stories.

>>85070659
>>85066724
>>85042843
>>85043354
I'm getting the sense that you're a Marvel person, from the general constitution of these characters and the focus on psychics.

>>85070870

Kind of? I've been on a Marvel kick for a while now, I generally fluctuate between the two big companies.

>>85070254
Issue 5 itself will be around 5 months of updates on top of that; the real question is whether or not issue 6 will be finished before that ends. I doubt the buffer will last forever with the current update schedule.

>>85066724
Tomboy's should always have short hair, just saying

>>85071580

The term is more about personality than looks in this case, I guess.

>>85071450
Issue 5 must be HUGE then.

Hopefully by the time that's done being put on the site Magi will have found time to have finished the Summer Special (and we're talking about stuff 11 months down the road from now).

>>85071933
Issue 5 is about 60 pages, give or take a few depending on the last action scene shapes up.

The Summer Special coming out would be pretty great, I've been looking forward to that one for a while. It was looking pretty good the last time Magi posted wips from it.

>>85072478
Damn, that's a log issue.

You guys ever worry you'll eventually end up with issues too long to actually be single issues?

>>85074063
The script for issues 4 and 5 was actually written as a single issue, so we've already seen that happen once. 5 was supposed to be roughly the same length as 4 too, but I drew a bunch of big action sequences and ballooned the page count, so here we are.

I doubt we'll have any more unplanned multi-issue arcs, but I'm terrible so who knows. Any opinions on how big is too big for a single issue?

>>85074901
Once you go over 70 pages it feels like it should be two issues.

We've come to think of comic issues in terms of 20 - 30 pages thanks the industry.

Given this is a digital comic, it's not bound by publisher rules, but there is something to be said timing the end of an issue on a beat to be picked up in the next, but once the issue reaches a certain number of pages you begin to wonder "why bother even breaking them up if you're going to make it this long?" or at least that's what I think.

Made some mid level villains types probably best suited to a strong solo hero or young team.
I don't have any idea for a backstory for them other than claw machine.

Personal Favorite is Headless Ghost-man

>>85075669
Headless ghost man... remove the top bed sheet and be met with a portal to the underworld, one which stares back and drains a person's will to live the longer they stare into it.

>>85075589
I'm not sure I'll ever manage to adhere to page counts in the low 20s like most print issues, but I think somewhere in the 30s like issue 4 is what most of them will look like. 5's length is probably due to my inexperience as much as anything, and I doubt we'll see an issue quite this big again for a while. Hopefully this one will still work out regardless of how long it is.

>>85075833
Sounds good it could also leak out the rip.
Maybe he also has an obsession with decapitation

>>85066979
That gives me a flicker of an idea: An old-school supervillain who tries to teach modern edgy villains the art of proper presentation. By force, if necessary.

>>85077773
An over the top British villain was big in the silver age. Retired wealthy with a large mansion has recently feeling the the need to be a mentor to some younger villains. The villain asks former sidekick now independent villain who might need a mentor, the former sidekick directs the former mentor to his direct villain competition.

So that leads to a confrontation, the begins of a fight, but then a cool down when Bomb keep trying to talk to Stretch while she's jumping around trying to get a better tactical advantage.

We can assume this is taking place on the surface of the Earth rather than in a city floating above it.

>>85084942
Like Stretch on sight immediately thinks he's here for a rematch, while he's trying to convince her otherwise, though his expression says otherwise?

After thats sorted I can see Stretch commenting that he should have his mouth visible like she does to avoid such problems (obviously oblivious of his conditions).

Yes.

His appearance makes people instantly on edge and wanting a fight.
He should probably explain to her that he can't leave his super suit or he'll just be exploding all the time.

It's a good opportunity for any exposition we need to establish.

>>85085225
Probably also a good point to introduce any Stretch backstory that had yet to be introduced.

I assume this would be the second or third Stretch "issue" and her back story is already well established in her own series.

Writefag behind >>85066724 here, thinking up ideas for some sort of massive underground jail for supervillains loosely based on the Divine Comedy's version of hell. What I've got is that you have different levels for different kinds of supervillains, mostly ranked on their threat levels, like such:

>Lightly powered non-violent criminals
>Exceptionally violent criminals, with no powers
>Non-violent criminals with exceptional powers
>Violent criminals with powers
>Extraordinarily dangerous criminals with no powers
>Criminals with extraordinarily dangerous powers.
>Violent criminals with extraordinarily dangerous powers
>High-value criminals
>Apocalyptic threats

>>85089823
Prisons based on Dante's hell have been done a lot.

Any other ideas for a prison?

>>85091001
In a the most intelligent political decision ever, all office workers were replaced with prisoners.

Not only did crime drop dramatically, so did office suicides due to the chains.

>>85091512

Pointy sticks?

>>85094437
All the pointy sticks in the world still can't make a person type at a keyboard.

>>85096208
I posit that if that's the case then you have the wrong person holding the stick.

Make Bubba the boss and the rest of the prisoners will fall in line.

>>85096288
The greatest prison ever devised was not hell itself, but one made so cleverly that the inmates bought into the system and put their shackles on themselves willingly.

>>85091001

An SCP-style catalog of supervillains- categorize them based on how dangerous they are, detailed containment methods, records of any possible attempt to cure/depower them, records of how they've escaped containment, etc.

>>85097922
Sounds a lot like what /co/ntainment mostly does, except they have public records of what they have locked up, just not where.

When you say "suspiciously familiar", what are your suspicions? Are you saying you suspect that Blizzard's designers vaguely mimicked an obscure character from /co/? Are you implying Briana is so original that there is no other source they could possibly have drawn inspiration from?

>>85101028
You are delusional.

>>85101084
It was a joke lampooning the visual similarities in their design. No, Blizzard obviously didn't "steal" any design cues from Briana and I'm sure they aren't even aware of her existence. Christ why's everyone so serious.

What About a Spiral Staircase like design each step is a prisoner level with an elevator down the middle we can have each level attached or unattached to the next one.
I just like the shape

>>85101820
>Characters get to make vaguely threatening remarks about "The Helix".

Sure, why not?

>>85101820

I like it. But what kind of prison is it, an underground one? An underwater one? A space one? Also, how do you rank the levels?

>>85102355
i was thinking a half underground half above ground that way you have the top that is for the warden and the upper levels for minimum security or those connected enough to "buy" their way up. The worst of the worst get put in the lower underground levels. There is a rumor that the elevator goes past what is meant to be the bottom level but who would trust those sub-level scum.

>>85102763

Eh, it would look kinda funky if only HALF a spiral was above ground.

Also I just throught about it but wouldn't there only be one elevator? Transportation must be a real bitch.

>>85102888
meh maybe its has multiple elevators in one central location i don't know i just like the shape. what are the positives and negatives of having it in space as opposed to underground, above-ground or underwater?

>>85103143

Well on one hand, the lack of gravity in the central chamber would make the elevator problem negligible, while rotating the blocks would make gravity a thing in there. But on the other hand, it would be extremely advanced for a standard setting, plus you'd be writing yourself into a corner: escape would be impossible without setting up some sort of MD Geist scenario.

>>85103143
I Think an Underwater Prison works well its well guarded but not so well guarded that it becomes boring. Still accessible but hard to reach unfortunately no tunneling shenanigans but can flood because of a leak so that is fun and you can have it surrounded by dangerous sea life.

>>85104138

Again, only problem is that it makes escapes a real bitch. How do you get out of an underwater prison?

>>85104353
Summon whale sharks and ride them to the nearest ship to hijack.

That's how it was done before anyway.

>>85104353
submarine escape, hire a water villain, hijack a prison level and eject it from the Helix, smuggle in diving gear, detach the prison from the sea floor and float it. I imagine the prison has a level or two at or above sea level for prisoner delivery if not it might breach the surface when needed.
