This is actually really good, though I think it's sort of a shame they didn't put in a final refrain of the Lifelight chorus.

And speaking of Lifelight, I'd like to take this moment to say that my entry into the "Most Awesome Thing Ever" contest would be a rendition of Lifelight performed by...QUEEN.

(I'm serious--look me in the eye and tell me it wouldn't be freaking awesome to hear Freddie Goddamn Mercury singing Lifelight.)

Think you’d enjoy this.

My thoughts:

-I think I might know what Kite Man did that was so terrible: in at least one continuity, he hired Eel O'Brien, which means he is, to a degree, responsible for the existence of Plastic Man--the hero even Batman has concerns about

(seriously, Batman's contingency plan for Plas boils down to "hope it never happens")

-Can't disagree with the "this seems therapeutic" comments

-Wonder what other villain/hero Tumblrs would look like...

The Riddler hijacks the local TV airwaves and appears onscreen holding a comically long roll of paper. After dramatically clearing his throat, he proceeds to read from it.

“The following is a list of people who can suck it. Number One: The Joker. I don’t think I need to explain that one. Number Two: Cluemaster. Fuck you, you stole my bit, and I will be like a plague unto your house. Number Three: King Tut. You also stole my bit, but did it while killing people and got me arrested for murder. Also, I’m, like, 93% sure you’re a white guy and your costume is racist.

“Number Four: The Scarecrow. I know you ate my leftover Chinese, Jon, even though I wrote my name on it. I was saving that for lunch. I had to eat a goddamn peanut butter and jelly sandwich like a five-year-old. It was all you had in the hideout. For fuck’s sake, go shopping, not all of us can live like a bridge troll.

“Number Five: The Penguin. You- No, no, wait, wait… That one should be crossed out. He replaced that and apologized. Never mind, Oswald, you’re fine. Drinks at 7:00 tomorrow, right?

“Anyway, where was…? Ah, yes. Number Six: The Mad Hatter. You carded me and left me like that for six hours because I, and I quote, ‘would not stop talking about Mythbusters.’ Well, excuse me for trying to make intellectually stimulating conversation on a level you could understand. I suppose every time you prattle on about mome raths and borogoves it’s goddamn Shakespeare? Well… Well, it’s Carroll, but… Oh, you know what I mean!

“Number Seven: Catwoman. You left me hanging by one hand from a ledge five stories up and holding a twenty-pound bag of jewels and very pointy  objets d'art while you ‘distracted’ the Dark Knight. I know you were making out with him, Selina. You were gone for fifteen minutes. My shoulder almost dislocated. Very unprofessional.

“Number Eight: Kite Man.”

Here the Riddler pauses, lifting his narrowed gaze to glare at the camera, voice dropping to an ominous tone.

“You know what you did…”

His demeanor shifts quickly, and he’s back to reading from his list almost cheerfully.

“Number Nine! Th-”

He’s interrupted by a crashing noise in the background and looks over his shoulder just an instant before a deep voice angrily growls, “Riddler!”

“Oh, for the love of-” He turns to glare at the camera, speaking quickly. “Number Nine: Batman! Interrupting me while I’m on television making very important- Hm-mmph!”

He’s reduced to muffled curses as a black gloved hand covers his mouth and pulls him out of frame. The camera tilts, a cracking noise is heard, and the broadcast turns to static.

Doc Samson Synopsis

A synopsis for my Doc Samson Disney+ series idea Notes: -If anyone has any ideas regarding casting, please post them in the comments. -This takes place at the same time as She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (assuming you are willing to consider that show to be MCU canon).

Episode 1: Leonard Samson is called to testify in the trial of Tony Masterson, accused of murdering several people who supported the repeal of the Sokovia Accords. During Samson’s testimony, however, Masterson uses a supposedly unarmed gun to shoot him, along with security guard Craig Saunders, defense attorney Diane Davids, prosecutor Kyle Barker, and NYPD officer Benjamin Tibbets before he is shot and killed by NYPD detective Clay Quartermain. Samson is rushed to the hospital, where Dr. Angela Lipscombe unwittingly gives him blood synthesized from that of Bruce Banner. As a result, Samson is turned into a green-haired superhuman with greatly enhanced strength. Quartermain meets with Samson and Angela to discuss the shooting, and the three decide to work together to solve the mystery.

Mid-Credits Scene: General John Ryker visits Philip Sterns in prison, and offers him a way to take revenge on the man who put him in there.

Episode 2: While going over his sessions with Masterson, Samson discovers that Saunders was present each time, and that he gave Masterson orders on behalf of an unidentified source telling him to kill Samson, Davids, and Barker. Further investigation reveals that the gun Masterson used was armed by a woman impersonating a court clerk, and the same woman also disguised herself as a nurse and swapped a regular blood bag with the gamma-irradiated blood that Samson received. A gamma-mutated Sterns, calling himself Madman, goes on a rampage, only to be fought and defeated by Samson. Quartermain, believing there is a connection to Bruce Banner’s work, calls in ESU physics professor Dr. Walter Langowski and his teacher’s aide Delilah ‘Dee Dee’ Dearborn to help.

Mid-Credits Scene: Samson works on adapting to his new strength.

Episode 3: Quartermain arranges a meeting with Michael Berengetti, a retired mobster who claims to have information about the victims. Berengetti reveals that he was contacted about making sure Davids (who normally took mob-related cases) would be Masterson’s defense attorney, but before he can say who asked him to do so, he is killed by two of his underlings Jessie Harrison and Louis Lembert, both of whom have received gamma-derived powers. Samson, Quartermain, and Dee Dee are able to subdue Harrison and Lembert, and the two confess they were convinced to betray Berengetti by Dr. Karla Sofen, who is identified as the woman impersonating the court clerk and nurse.

Mid-Credits Scene: Sofen makes a recording in which she describes several “experiments” she conducted, including psychologically manipulating convicted criminal Lloyd Bloch into giving her an unusual gem he stole, which she refers to as a Moonstone.

Episode 4: Continuing their investigation into Saunders and Davids, the group finds out the former was involved in the same mission to capture Banner that led to Emil Blonsky becoming Enhanced. Samson recalls his part in the events leading up to the fight in Harlem, and the group discusses Ross’s potential involvement. A former colleague of Langowski arrives in New York and tries to kill him, taking on the form of the Wendigo to do so, but is stopped by Samson with aid from Langowski and Dee Dee. Though it is determined that Ross was not part of the conspiracy, it is revealed that Ryker was also involved with the project that created the Hulk and that he has similar ambitions to create super soldiers.

Mid-Credits Scene: Sofen decides that Ryker is getting in the way of her plans, and decides to get rid of him.

Episode 5: In order to make sure there are no loose ends, Samson and Quartermain go over footage from Masterson’s visits, and learn that Davids gave him the order to kill Saunders on Ryker’s behalf. The group accompanies the police to arrest Ryker, but are ambushed by the electrical monster Zzzax, and are forced to take it down. Meanwhile, Ryker confronts Sofen and accuses her of having her own agenda. Sofen fatally shoots Ryker, leaving behind enough evidence to expose his part in the conspiracy and other illicit activities before fleeing.

Mid-Credits Scene: The FBI is contacted about Ryker and Sofen, with instructions to not allow the Department of Damage Control to interfere, as a number of their higher-ranking staff are are under investigation for abuse of power, brutality, corruption, and/or similar crimes.

Episode 6: No longer held back by Ryker, Sofen bonds with the Moonstone and abducts Langowski and Dee Dee. Samson, Quartermain, and Angela rescue them, though not before both are exposed to gamma radiation. An enraged Sofen goes on a rampage, but is stopped by Samson, as the latter fully embraces his Enhanced status, and Sofen is taken into custody. During the following celebration, Samson calls Bruce to say hello and ask if he’d like to join him in catching up with Betty.

Post-Credits Scene 1: Samson and Dee Dee discuss what they’re going to do now that they are Enhanced, and Dee Dee reveals that she had an ulterior motive for meeting Samson—she suspects that the two of them have the same father.

Post-Credits Scene 2: Langowski, now possessing the ability to transform into a superstrong beast he calls Sasquatch, receives a call asking him to return to Canada and join a new team being formed there. He rudely declines.

No Hero ‘AMV’

An ‘AMV’ of JT Music’s Venom fan song “No Hero”, featuring Danny Phantom

Dedicated to @dp-marvel94

(Open on the ‘Danny activates the portal’ scene from the DP intro. Cut to human form Danny looking in the mirror and seeing his ghost form staring back.)

I got a darkness inside and it's talking to me.

I feel it rumble and writhe like a hungry disease.

A face so ugly I hide, but it longs to be free.

Once I've brought it to light, I'll be gone underneath.

(Danny backs away from the mirror in horror, but as he looks down at his hands, he turns into his ghost form.)

Swallowed, consumed,

I am one with the beast.

You're not me!

Who are you?

What are we?

When I look at the face in the mirror I see

Just a shell of myself...

I can tell you're no hero to me.

(Shot of Danny in his room, freaking out as he shifts between human and ghost forms. Cut to Danny talking to Sam and Tucker, who try to comfort him with little success.)

I've got something gut tattering, blood blackening.

My anatomy's unraveling, what's happening?

Genetically unfettered immortality,

A mask that I’ll have on far beyond Halloween...

Just from one touch fastening, attached to me,

Feels like I'm galactically drug trafficking,

Just dabbled and got addicted, I love agony,

Identity gone, nothing much left of me!

(Shots of Danny trying desperately to control his intangibility and invisibility. Cut to Danny in human form, floating in a neon green void, face to face with his ghost form. The latter takes the former’s hands and gives him a reassuring smile.)

I've become an unnatural catastrophe

Infested with unfathomable fantasies!

Never knew there was such madness untapped in me.

Some venomous entity that we've become, haven't we?

We're ravaging our enemies compatibly.

Dulled faculties I've forgotten, what's empathy?

As a matter of fact, lost all sense of me.

Doesn't matter cuz Venom's what we are meant to be!

(Cut to Danny looking into the bathroom mirror. He places a hand on the glass before closing his eyes and transforming into his ghost form.)

Tongue's wrapping around, stomach growling now,

Hungry ravenous power, but I've atrophied, how?

Won't be captured and held, I will rattle the cell!

Far from God's grace, I already fell!

Blood drunk from the carnage, I think I'm gonna drown,

Like the devil himself has been dragging me down!

But I've actually found part of heaven in hell,

We will topple your steeples and we'll shatter the bells!

(Opening his eyes, Danny allows himself to rise off the ground. A wide smile appears on his face, and he flies through the door and out of his bedroom window.)

Oooh, right never felt so wrong,I know we've both walked paths on which we don't belong,And now I have no doubt, if I cast you out,I'll be left with half myself.

(Shots of Danny flying over Amity Park, grinning and laughing all the while.)

I got a darkness inside and it's walking with me.

I'm buckled up for the ride with a hunger to feed.

I don't want you to hide if you long to be free.

We're no hero tonight, we're the monster you need!

(Cut to several ghosts causing mayhem in the mall. Suddenly, Danny becomes visible, floating behind them with a mischievous grin. The ghosts turn to attack, but Danny just smirks confidently. The video ends with Danny charging in, no longer afraid of what he’s become.)

Swallowed, consumed,

Venom running through me.

I won't be,

Nor will you,

Only we.

Now I look at the face in the mirror and see

Just how fearsome we are,

But you're far from a hero to me!

[magicalmonsterhero]

Modern fandom went awry when people stopped learning how to avoid content that upsets them and instead starting actively seeking it out.

I mean this in the kindest, most loving way possible, but babes you'll be so much happy when you stop focusing on what other people are doing and instead focus on what you like.

You'll never be able to stop people from liking what you hate, and the best way you'll find any peace of mind is properly utilizing blocking, blacklisting, and muting tools. Take it from someone who used to run a shipping discourse blog, fandom is supposed to be what you enjoy, stop focusing on things that upset you.

[magicalmonsterhero]

This dude(tte) raises a few good points, particularly with why Danny is so powerful. However, I do have a couple of alternate theories, one of which is (for the most part) confined to the Phantom Phorce AU (which is partially detailed here).

There is only one true Halfa

Ok, hear me out on this. So Danny, Vlad and Dani are all considered Halfas which is understandable but if you think about it then it’s not actually true. Why?

Well Danny was the only one that actually died. He was electrocuted to death as the portal started and then a hole was ripped between two dimensions right on Danny or heck more like it was ripped open inside him. Flooding him with ectoplasm while he died. So his DNA merged with the energy of a whole dimension made of energy leaving Danny at a balance between the two dimensions. This also might be why Danny seems to never stop growing power wise. I mean he literally merged with a whole dimensions worth of energy. He is the embodiment of the balance between the two parallel dimensions. (I’d like to think that he is the only reason the portal opened as well for maybe there needed to be balance between life and death but hey. Also Danny may be able to open and close portals himself.)

Now Vlad was flooded with a large amount of ectoplasm but he wasn’t killed and his DNA never merge with the ectoplasm. So Vlad isn’t half dead but fully alive and maybe it’s like a symbiotic relationship between him and ectoplasm. As such Vlad dose not have a core or an obsession like ghosts and Danny. Though maybe the ectoplasm is trying to form an obsession at least. This is why that Vlad is only so powerful with his years of having his powers, sure he’s far more powerful than most ghosts but he also holds a small amount of the Dimensions very energy.

Then there is Dani, she’s an imperfect clone of Danny. And she was the only clone that survived out of the many Vlad tried to create. Vlad cannot replicate life and death at the same time nore can he forcefully merge Dani with the right amount of ectoplasm or the right kind. Danny is one of a kind, and his life long exposure to ectoplasm is probably the only reason he is what he is instead of a pile of ash but how could Vlad know that and how could he replicate it to the exact. Dani is basically more like Vlad, but maybe instead of a symbiotic relationship it’s more of a parasitic relationship between her and ectoplasm, she will die without it as it’s part of her but it also try’s to destroy her thus why she needs to be stabilized.

Just think about it

Personally, I like to imagine Aphrodite simply doesn’t believe in monogamy, feeling marriage to one person is too limiting--she’s not the goddess of marriage (that would be Hera). As for Hephaestus, I think he was actually chosen by Zeus to be Aphrodite’s husband, and IMO, he simply doesn’t judge his wife’s mindset.

You know what? I’m just gonna fuckin’ say it. We need to romanticize the relationship between Ares and Aphrodite more.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know we all like to characterize them as the mean jock and dumb bitchy prep cheerleader who cheats on her wonderful and kind if conventionally unattractive husband because he’s not jacked or whatever, but how about we move past that Middle School level interpretation of things and look at it from another perspective.

Let’s look at it this way. Hephaestus shows up one day, kidnaps the queen of the Gods, his mother, and demands Aphrodite as his wife for the shitty life he’s had thus far. He doesn’t love Aphrodite. Not really. She’s a consolation prize. A pretty little bauble he can have around his workshop and occasionally have sex with.

Aphrodite isn’t some shallow and vapid bitch who cheats on her loving husband. She’s a powerful woman, a fucking child of Ouranos himself, and she’s the Goddess of LOVE, forced into a loveless marriage with someone who only sees her as a possession. She cheats on him with Ares because Ares isn’t the strong and charming yet deeply flawed man who really does love her.

Hephaestus has the gall to demand Aphrodite be loyal to him? MY man, you essentially press-ganged the Goddess of Love into a loveless marriage. HOW DID YOU THINK IT WAS GOING TO GO?!

I feel for Hephaestus, I really do. He got dealt a shit hand and he’s absolutely a sympathetic character, but I think it’s time we stopped hating on the Goddess of Love for being with the person she loves, rather than the man who forced her into a truly miserable and doomed union.

Originally, this was going to be about Jessica Drew alone, but I decided to add in a few other spider-folk–mostly girls, but there is one major male character…

My “Superman” OCs: Or How to Make a Superman Character who isn’t just “Hey, What if Superman was a dick?”

Keith Connors; a.k.a. Subject 010; a.k.a. Shepard:

Subject 010 was created by an alien civilization to be the ultimate weapon. Nearly invincible and all-powerful, with his Superman powerset, he forged the K’tar into an empire that spanned the stars. But Subject 001 eventually began to question his masters, and soon abandoned his mission, hiding on a backwater planet: Earth.

On Earth, which already has a pick of heroes, Subject 010 assumed the identity of Keith Connors, doing his best to blend in to Earth culture and understand his existence. There’s sort of a Blade Runner, “looking for his humanity” type thing going on. Eventually, he settles in rural Ireland and meets people he cares about, even loves, and begins to realize his own humanity.

Eventually, he decides that he wants to help people, and becomes the Superhero, Shepard. But, after being a warrior and a soldier for so long, he doesn’t understand a lot of the play-by-play of how the heroing business works, and ends up accidentally killing some bad guys, just because he’s never been instructed to hold back before. But, he eventually finds his niche in the Superhero community.

But everything changes when the K’tar comes for their lost property, bringing Keith’s “siblings” the nine failed prototypes that came before him. Now Keith must reconcile the monster he once was and the hero he wants to be and lead humanity against the Empire he forged.

Ishkur; a.k.a. Jim Marshal; a.k.a. Champion:

Centuries ago, when most men painted on cave walls, there was an age undreamed of.. A race of God-Like beings ruled the Earth, with power and strength unmatched. Unto this: Ishkur, the he who ruled the wind and sun. Ishkur was so powerful and mighty that all the other Gods feared and revered him in equal measure, and with good reason.

Ishkur realized the potential and future of humanity, and wished to nurture them. Others disagreed. A war between these beings broke out, a war that would inspire a thousand myths and legends across the globe. Eventually, Ishkur stood alone, his allies slaughtered, though his enemies were greatly reduced as well. Desperate, Ishkur sacrificed himself to seal the wicked Gods away.

Jump forward to the modern day, Ishkur reincarnates into a modern man, a black kid from Alabama named Jim Marshal, graced with terrible power. But with Ishkur’s reincarnation comes fell warnings. The wicked Gods that Ishkur sealed are breaking free, and will drive humanity back to the stone age, and enslave them.

But all is not lost. The Gods who were once Ishkur’s allies have also reincarnated, and now Jim must take up the mantle of Champion; the Hope of Humanity and unite the other reincarnated Gods against this ancient and terrible threat.

Alice Aberon; Project Nova; a.k.a. Lodestar:

Project Nova was originally conceived with the idea of making the ultimate soldier, using ancient alien D.N.A. found frozen in the Antarctic. However, for head scientist Madeline Aberon, it was a ticket to cure her daughter Alice of her terminal genetic disorder. When things became dire, Madeline used the experimental serum on her daughter. Not only did it cure her, but it gave her powers beyond anyone’s imagination.

But as all attempts to recreate that success failed, and Alice’s powers grew daily, the shadowy government organization that was funding the project terminated it, ordering everyone on board killed. Seeing her mother murdered before her eyes made Alice snap, and she murdered the soldiers sent to massacre the orbital base they were staying in, and fled to Earth.

Alice wandered alone for years, powerful beyond measure but divorced from her humanity almost completely. Eventually, she was taken in by an order of Himalayan Monks and Nuns, practitioners of an ancient and nameless martial art, who taught Alice to control her power, and opened her back up to her heart and soul.

Eventually, Alice decided that the world needs a hero like her. She left the monastery and took up the mantle of Lodestar, humanity’s guiding light, and take down the shadowy organization that killed her family, and guide humanity into a brighter and better future.
