Concept and RTJ

Marvel: Odd Jobs

Galactus needs a plumber. Someone has to get Lockjaw to the groomers. This pizza isn't going to deliver itself to K'un L'un (through all these Hand ninjas). Dr. Strange has an angry talking Raccoon in his attic again.

I'm thinking of a irreverent/semi-satirical Marvel game. Not completely funny, but definitely doesn't take itself too seriously. I'm trying to think of ridiculous tasks for supers, and then putting a twist on them to make them actually something a super would need to do.

Marvel Heroic, canon characters

I'll keep it simple for now and expand later if necessary:

1a. Who do you want to play?
1b. What do you like about them?
Give me a few options in case someone is already taken.

2. Who are the three villains you most hope to encounter in this game?

3. Write down three mundane tasks that you'd never expect a superhero to do.

4. What experience do you have with Marvel Heroic?

In reply to Watcher (msg # 2):

C or D listers make good candidates for this game. Off the top of my head, D-man or Texas Twister would be great fits.

I know someone is interested in Squirrel Girl. Between her own book and a major role in Marvel: Rising, she's probably more of a B-lister now. She's otherwise in the right mold though. Her buddy Kamala Khan is likewise closer to mainstream than I'd prefer, but could also fit.

Deadpool, Gwenpool, and anyone who breaks the fourth wall are a step too far.
