Ahhh Dick. A name that just boggles the mind that parents would even decide to torture their child before they are even aware of it.

And yeah, dont tell me all about that historical source crap. Dick as a name has been used even on more recent times when its phallic representations were clear to many.
 
[X] The ginger girl sitting near the front of the class.

Barbara Gordon for the win.

    • Welp, I just did a World event role, and Black Adam woke up. Won't really effect you guys at all, but it'll help speed up the Justice Leagues formation.
     
    Shazam isn't usually part of the founding members of the JL. Either that'll change or Black Adam will have the odd moment of being a villain set up before their heroic nemesis is.

    The Bulletproof Serum is totally crazy. I have to know, was Adrian always intended to have such a big brain? Cause she just recreated what is essentially the Danner formula. Perfecting it? Force multiplier.

    It already propels Oswald to probably the most physically imposing villain in Gotham, which is ironic since he's the Penguin because he has the physique of one. I think Killer Croc and Clayface are the only metas Batman deals with on a regular basis? Bane might count.

    Adrian was always supposed to be the genius/pure science mad scientist.

    The Riddler's daughter was going to be science/magic genius

    The Langstram's daughter was going to accidentally turn herself into the Lizard, or at least that's her initial path.

    Batman's daughter could have been a genius if not for her grandfather, otherwise she just fights good.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the Penguin in the comics without any special enhancements already a pretty strong combatant?
     
    Wait if we have super sharp hair does that mean if we shave our legs and let it grow out is going to be a deadly weapon? We can use our hair if long enough to cut material we can probably chew metal or wood in what ever shape we want? The only thing we dont have is acid resistance so we still need to brush our teeth and we cant get injections but we dont need to worry about bullets so much and if this affects our musckles its possible we cant train our musckles? Our cat if angry has the fur made out of thin razor strands and super claws and can probably eat dogs

    Poison Ivy, Man-Bat, Hugo Strange's Monster Men, Deathstroke, Freeze (though his mutation is more of a malus than a bonus)

    Joker and Harley Quinn also sometimes get toxic immunity, enhanced reflexes and minor regeneration powers.

    Actually kinda, while it does depend on the writer he has been written as an expert in judo and bare knuckle boxing as well as being proficient with his sword umbrella. Compared to the average Joe he can be a really good fighter, just Batman is on a whole different level.

    1-4 Origin End

    • Issue #1-4: The Origin that is almost OVER!​


    [X] A girl with white hair that is sitting next to the window, does she have earbuds on?

    Well your introduction speech wasn't the best, but than again you've never trained for public speaking, like Daddy. So you walked over to the only empty seat next to the window, which was right next to a girl with white hair. You aren't sure what variety of white it was, but as you got closer to her you noticed that in kind of looked like snow.

    As you sat next to her and introduced yourself to her, and the other unassuming students around your new desk you notice she's wearing earbuds. There are in fact the faint sounds of music, you think that you've heard that song on the radio before. What was that band called again?

    Adrian Remembering the Band name roll! DC 40, 75
    1st Roll 1D100= 51+40(Int) = 91

    "So you listen to the Femazons? Aren't they the band that dresses up like Wonder Woman?"

    White Hair Charisma Roll
    1st Roll 1D100= 77+40(Cha) = 117

    She smiles brightly at you, and nods several times.

    "Yup! Name's Melissa, Melissa Gold. Nice to meet you Adrian."

    Melissa slowly runs her hands through her snow white hair.

    "Been a while since someone asked me if I was an albino, nice change of pace."

    "Most albinos from what I know either have pale blue, or pink eyes. Therefore your white hair is either bleached white, or there was a chemical accident of some kind."

    "Well you guessed correctly, or are you a detective Ms. Cobblepot?"

    Melissa looked awfully smug as she looked you in the eye.

    "Not at all Melissa, why do you ask?"

    Adrian Luck Roll DC 10, 20, 50, 70
    1st 1D100= 34
    Two Passes, Two Fails!

    Adrian accidentally cracked a floor tile on the way to her desk, only Melissa & Tara noticed.


    "Cause if you were a super sneaky detective you'd have noticed the tile you cracked on your way over here with those superfeet of yours. Oh! Or super shoes! If you have super shoes I'll buy them off you!"

    Quickly as you look around to see if anyone is listening to your conversation you notice that no one is paying attention to you or Melissa.

    "PSsshhh, hey, don't worry about it Add. Ya see, I did have a chemical accident a couple months ago. Somehow gave me the ability to control sound! Can kinda see it too, but it's all wibbly wobbly and weird. Anyway, right now no one can hear us and we can't hear them either. It's like a cone of silence, or maybe more of an oval of silence."

    She's smiling at you again, and it's a bright courageous smile. You clear your throat nervously.

    "So you aren't going to tell anyone?"

    "What?! No! Add! We're Super-Friends! The Teenage Heroes of Gotham! Oh! Or, or The Gotham Society of Teenaged Supervillains! So either the T.T.H.G. or the T.G.S.T.S."

    You just slowly rubbed your temples.

    "You aren't good at coming up with anagrams are you Melissa?"

    "Nope! So are you in or out of this super secret club that I just formed right now?"

    "If I join I'm picking the name."

    "That's fine Add, we're the co-founders!"

    Do you help Melissa from a secret club/organization/secret society/whatever this is?

    [] Yes

    [] No

    "We should probably get back to class Melissa, if we need to talk about this more it can happen at lunch."

    Melissa pouts a bit, but from what little you've gleaned from her personality you know that she's just being dramatic.

    "Fine, fine."

    As the silence ended you could once again hear Mr. Mayo's dull voice as he read from some book. You'd probably know the title if you sat somewhere else.

    "And then he said 'No John… You are the demons.'"

    You really hate this English curriculum.

    "That concludes chapter 14 of ' The Damnation of Mars', remember to do your homework essay about how this chapter is about man's hubris."

    Gotham/Personal Event Roll!
    1st Roll 1d100= 11 Drive by near the School!
    Checking Active Villains/Vigilantes…
    Two Face… Check!
    Roman Sionis… Check!

    Before Mayo could utter a word further the sound of gunshots rang throughout the classroom. You immediately dive under your desk, and drag Melissa with you. She's your friend after all, right?

    "Get your ass back here Sionis! Justice will be had this day! For all the evils you've committed against the people of Gotham, I Two-Face will bring you to JUSTICE!"

    The voice was raw, and sounded like it was filled with pain and conviction.

    "Piss off Dent! You got what you deserve mucking around in Falcone, and my business!"

    Roman Sionis Roll to escape in car!
    1st Roll 1D100= 33+20(Drive)= 53

    Two-Face Roll to shoot out tires!
    1st Roll 1D100= 30+50(S. Gun)= 80

    Two-Face wins!

    There was another crack of a gun, a pop, a screech, and a loud crash as the car outside rammed into the gate of Gotham High School. Mr. Mayo put a finger to his lips as he scanned the classroom, staring at the redhead in particular. Now that you look at, really look at her, you think you recognise her from somewhere.

    Adrian Memory Roll DC 70
    1st Roll 1D100= 42+40= 82
    Pass

    Oh, now you remember who she is. That's Barbara Gordon, daughter of the police chief. No wonder she looks like she wants to help somehow.

    "You did this to be Sionis, so let's see what justice has to say to you."

    Coin Flip! Heads=Attempt to kill, Tails= Burn a skull mask onto his face.
    TAILS!

    "W-what are you doing?!"

    "Justice!"

    "Fuck your Justice!"

    Roman Sionis S.Gun Roll
    1st Roll 1D100= 44+30= 74

    Two-Face Dodge Roll
    1st Roll 1D100= 92+20=112
    2nd Roll 1D100= 88+12=100
    3rd Roll 1D100= 67
    Total Roll= 267

    Two Face Auto-Wins the rest of the fight! Gains a trait!
    Flash Step- You travel faster than the eye can see! +30 dodge, +10 attack, can train agility up to 12

    You heard a thud, followed by silence, you and everyone else thought it was over, but then the screaming started.

    "Be reborn in the acid of retribution! Now everyone will see that your face is as black as your heart!"

    Roman Sionis is dead, Black Mask is born!

    World Events Roll!

    1st Roll 1D100= 22 A Natural Disaster!
