Project Prometheus (Original Setting Superhero Quest)

Not done cooking but...

[ ] Retroactive Galaxy Stop
- [ ] Zeno: Stops anything he can see.
- [ ] Chatroom: See anywhere our allies are.
- [ ] Mister Hunch: See it yesterday.

Socialite Butterfly gets permanently timestop ganked from the future, along with all her clones and none of this shit happens.

I find it clever and effective, though narratively unsatisfying. I'd hate to unwrite such a wonderful few chapters. I'll keep thinking.
Or maybe time stops now, and everything happens up to this point, and it's the power use 24h hence looking back on this moment. Then everything already written still happens.
Hmm. Either way, still gonna cook more.

Voting already ended, dude! If it doesn't say "Voting Is Open" at the bottom, assume that votes aren't being taken.
 
So, thinking about it a little bit, Scarlet Maturity needs to give someone his core in order to empower them. Does that mean there's a period of vulnerability after he gives a power boost where his core is reforming/regenerating, and he's killable?

I think we can eat him ( I personally wish to make him a friend and destroy him that way)

I wouldn't assume he's giving away his whole power each time. He might be weaker for a while, there's maybe a delay before he can empower someone else.
 
Heroes, anti-heroes, whatever the fuck ProfessorB is (compliment), here is the new Corkboard info. Credit goes to @ScorpioSting for a lot of it.

-Brass Shield. Power armor user, makes hard light constructs. Stole his armor from a company, was forced to hero to pay it off.

Horae Guard Drafts:
-Seraph. Photokinetic of some sort, can send telepathic messages, has wings. Now dead and replaced by Socialite Butterfly.
-Sunlight Knight. Construct creator/photokinetic. Down horrendous for Opale, lovable and chivalrous idiot.

Valkyrie
The most powerful psychic in the world. For reference, she's more powerful than EXCEED Valiant Silver.
Tried to throw a crap ton of goldnine on the world in order to kill everyone and shut down Jacob's Ladder.
Currently escaped from Wonderland and missing.
Capable of telepathy and telekinesis.
Mad because of Princess being taken?
S-Lister metahuman. Top 1 psychic. Went insane a few years back, causing the Susurration.
May currently be working with King.
Somehow affected by the Ladder, Princess's mom?
NEW ISSUE EDIT: Has calmed down from her crazy phase that got her locked up, if her meeting with Ellie is any indication.
Knows things about the Stage and is worried about the effects of E-B, and does not like other Valiants, owing to her relationship with Takeshi/Valiant Red.
May have had some sort of miscarriage?

  • Augur's power is almost certainly not just some future sight. That's one thing we can be sure about.
  • the Woman In Blue seems to be opposed to him.
  • Also a time traveler/AU refugee??? Assuming that he's "Oscar", who took "a device" and "ran away". Whatever that means.
  • NEW ISSUE EDIT: Related to Theo, whoever that is.
  • Searching for a "Golden Route". Time looper/Zero Escape style SHIFTer highly likely. Perfectionist streak?

R-Train:
Makes sure the Goldnine doesn't get out. A fleet of giant robots, drones, and Terminators. Uber-powerful. Also may be negotiable with???
Probably Valiant Red's creation.
NEW ISSUE EDIT:
-Brain is split in two: a purely logical robotic mind that only cares about it's designated zone/Goldnine detection, and a snarkier, more human one who sees the bigger picture.

Socialite Butterfly
  • Harper (Red Huntress's) sister. A power copier, which is terrifying in this setting.
  • Can make copies of anybody on touch. If they were a metahuman, the powers carry over.
  • Clones die quickly, but the clones can be cloned. Clones are also terribly bad at acting.
  • Possibly working with Wonderland Inmates, as the supplier of Power Enhancement for them.
  • Also targeting Yara. Likely to kill and replace her.
  • Vain and likes to monologue.
  • NEW ISSUE EDIT: Was abused by her parents who wanted the family fortune, absolutely snapped.
  • Has clones of many top tier metahumans that aren't psychic. Justiciar+Scarlet Maturity is a notable instant-win combo.

The idea of SB working with Wonderland Inmates is also backed up by her telling Yara that she has associates who needs "fresh specimens"
A few of them are Algernon types.. so maybe?

...On second thought, I'm not sure we should assume Valkyrie is Princess' mom. It's a tempting thought, but according to Ellie, Princess looks around ten or a bit older, whereas the Susurration was... 30ish years ago?? Unless Princess grew up really really slowly as part of being born with powers, or Valkyrie had a bizarrely slow pregnancy, it doesn't seem that likely that she's Valkyrie's daughter.

And... well, Valkyrie was in Wonderland. Unless she was separated from them all, surely she'd know if her daughter were still alive?? Hmm.

I'm not sure we can currently solve this jigsaw puzzle with the pieces that have been presented to us.

Its more likely Moon River and Lilith are Valkyrie Kids if her child actually survived the ssuration. Remember she got radiatied by Novalight and that could easily kill babies.

Maybe.

Narratively it might make sense that Eve (the world's strongest technopath) and Lilith (a weird psychic clairvoyant that is strong enough to be one of the Four Voices) might both be the children of the strongest psychic in the world, but it was explicitly said in the opening post of the quest that metahuman powers have no genetic component.

Then again... we know goldnine is the key to metahuman powers - there are more metahumans in Horizon than anywhere else in the world IIRC, and that might suggest that proximity to goldnine and/or the Leviathan affects the process somehow. And we know that Valkyrie took a bunch of goldnine and telekinetically threw it at the city. If we assume that made it more likely that babies in the womb near Horizon (such as Nora) would grow up to have metahuman powers, that might track.

...I guess we could assume that Eve was around the same age as Nora, too.
