[shadow=red,left,300][/shadow] My Ultimate DCJLA: Superman- In this universe Kal-El was the only survivor of a doomed planet and landed in an Amish farm and was raised by an elderly couple with a christian background. When his powers started to emerge and realised who he was he began to question his faith. Whether he accepts God one day and not the next, he is still supported by a strict moral system and went to Metropolis and became a reporter as well as the defender of man-kind. notes- in this universe Clark was raised on an Amish farm so he has a simple costume with simple colours. Batman- Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered when he was a child by the gangster who would become The Joker. He was raised by his butler Alfred and trained himself each day to become the ultimate living weapon. He is now the Nocturnal Avenger, the Caped-Crusader....Batman. Robin- When millionaire Bruce Wayne came to an orphanage to hand in a large cheaque for a public appearance, young runaway Rich Grayson stowed away in his car when he returned to his mansion. He soon discovered Bruce's secret identity as Batman and became his partner Robin, named after his deceased father. Robin was tragically shot in the shoulder and it was only thanks to Alfred's expert hands that he lived. After that they agreed Rich would go to University to continue his studies Nightwing- When the unruly Rich Grayson was thrown out of college he met back up with his younger brother, Tim (in another orphange) and they went to live with Bruce Wayne, were Rich had previously stayed. Tim soon learned of Bruce and his elder brother's former exploits and became Nightwing. Batman refused to take him on the more violent assignements to begin with but when he followed them and saw them massacre a gang of drug lords he decided he could never go back. They are know a formidale force against any crime in the darkness of Gotham city notes- Bruce Wayne is colour blind in this universe so does not appreciate colourful costumes. Flash- One late night police scientist, Barry Allen was summoned to a crimescene to check over some evidence. Unknown to him however it was the mrders that had called him trying to use him as bait for the police cheif, whom which they all held a grudge. He escaped from his captors having found the chemicals they had being using and ran through the rain. He was struck by lightning. The chemicals bonded with his body accelerating the movement of his molecules but slowing his aging, reversing the laws of physics. Barry Allen now stops law first then checks over the evidence. Until he was recruited as part of the JLA that is. Ganthet- The last member of the Galaxy Gaurdian branch, The Green Lantern Corps. Hal Jordan- Hal was to be the next Green Lantern but he, along with all the other members except Ganthet, was killed by their nemesis Sinestro. Ganthet decided to use the energy in his ring to bring Jordan back to life as living ring energy meaning he is no longer restricted by human activities such as eating sleeping or breathing. Along with his own ring that projects green energy feilds, Hal can turn his body into energy armours and is the Earth's Green Lantern representative, Ganthet having returned to the stars to stop Sinestro. Wonder Woman- Princess of the Amazonian tribe, a people who beleive themselves, and in many ways are, a superior and more noble race of man. After falling in love with a normal man, Diana was exiled to live among us until she proved her worth and could return. She performs her acts of heroism as part of the JLA. Aquaman- Prince of Atlantis, The Doomed City. Although the Atlanteans breath in water they are actually an amphibius race. Their cities are built within air domes but human waste being dumped in the oceans is finally cause them to break. Prince Arthur has been sent to help stop and build relations with 'air-men'. Brash and short-tempered Aquaman is somewhat the loose cannon of the JLA. Martian Manhunter- 'Security Gaurd' to a Martian Prison, J'onn J'onnzz, was held responsible when some of the universes most deadly villians escaped even though it wasn't on his shift. He travelled to earth to find the legendary son of Jor-El and watched for him in the disguise of police detective John Jones. He and Superman returned most of the villians but J'onn was releived of duy and so stayed on Earth as part of the JLA. Green Arrow- Oliver Queen was born in Japan under the training of a clan known as the Chosen Order to become the ultimate ninja . He became obssessed with the bow and arrow forgetting his other training to perfected his aim so that he never misses. He then moved to the U.S and started a large business 'Queens' and became a member of the JLA. Very little else is known about him...like why he joined the JLA or even moved to America but none the less he is an invaluable member. Hawkman- Originally the Eygiptian Preist Kay-Tah, Hawkman found a mystical stone that gave him wings. He experimented with it and granted himself the ability to be bought back to life as another hawkman whenever he dies but unfortunatly remembers none of his previous lives. Now existing as Carter Hall, British RAF pilot turned Hawkman after he died and was rencarnated with the Hawkman guise after a plane crash, Hawkman is the high-flying, gun-totting JLA avenger.

No, for quite some time I was using other people's micros without editing them or editing them very little and not giving people credit. It wasn't on purpose and so I would correct myself but then the next batch would have the same problem and when I did make good micros a few people just gave me a bad attitude and so I had a bad one back and good banned for being a jerk and so theres loads of crap there about how I'm spawned from the pits of hell and should be set of fire and crucifixed upside down....ok that was exxagerated but thats about the gist of it and I've sorted myself out an all now and don't steal micros but no one wants to know, which doesn't bother me loads anymore I just post legit ones where people will appreciate them. Also quick advertisment. If you guys like rpgs, making original characters and micro-heroes. Then check out a site I ahve with a friend, its an all original character rpg site with micro-hero gallery's. I go by the name of Legacy. read everything there sign up and send Failed_Hero a pm with a character bio and if he accpets your good to go. here's the site: www.infinitysedge.org/rpg/

JSASentinel-On the home world of the Galatic Gaurdian Ganthet, there is a statue made of a brilliant green stone. This staue is fashioned on Earth's statue of liberty (or rather vice versa) but it is a green male. Millenia ago, when the statue was first made, people found that if they touched it they were granted the ability to create green holograms of whatever they thought as long as they remained in contact with it. This rock was then used to create rings that granted the wearer with that ability. They became the first memebers of the Green Lantern Corps. This statue was later attacked and blow up by the Green Lantern enemy, Sinestro and he took the lantern (their version of the Liberty torch) of the statue hostage. His ship was attacked and destroyed as he flew off with it. Sinestro lived but the lantern fell into space and landed on Earth it was found by archeoligist and geologist Alan Scott. He too found the power and after stopping a robber with the power of the lantern he became a self appointed superhero. Finding the lantern was to heavy to carry around he fashioned it into a simple ring. He went under many names including Green Ring, Green Gaurdian and Power Ring. He founded the Justice Society of America, America's first official superhero group and went under the name of the Sentinel. (black) Canary-Dinah Lance Sr. was dying of cancer so her husband payed some scientists and doctors to keep one of her blood samples and create a clone from a single cell so that she would never die. A slightly developed embryo was placed in Dinah's womb and it started developing. With the limited science of the time it went slightly wrong and the cells to create the clone's larynx never grew. The doctors said it wasn't vital but he insisted she had to be identical. The cells were made in a pertry dish and chemicals were used to make it develop rapidlly to the point of the embryo's development and then added to the embryo when it was ready. The chemicals were then eradicated to stop it growing abnormally. Dinah Sr. died in child birth before the cancer could kill her. Her husband raised Dinah Jr., as he named her, but found that as she grew she was not his wife but a cruel reminder of her death, he spent longer hours at work and hired a nanny. He also found her larynx could vibrate at rapid speeds and create a sonic scream. When she was 11 he sent her to boarding school and never let her home for visits. It was while she was at boarding school that she saw what would become her name sake, a canary bird that sang beautifully but had been genetically modified to be black. When she was sixteen she learn't the truth and ran away. Later, at the age of 19, he accepted what she was and accepted her 'power' turning the very things that made her an outcast into a hero. She becam Black Canary of the JSA. Flash-Scientist Jay Garrick developed Hard Water (the chemical that years later would create the JLA's Flash) and drank it to see if the experimental drug form would aid people with illness to take part in sports without injury. It granted him with superhuman speed and the energy his body converted soon became all he was as the rest of his body became inadiquate for high-speeds. He bacame Flash and joined the JSA. Who would have guessed that 20 years later he would inspire a young man to adopt his name. Wildcat-Ted Grant was a professional boxer dubbed The Wildcat because of his insane ferocity. He later became a wrestler under the same name. This warrior of super-strength became the first person found by Sentinel to form the Justice Society, a group that would inspire another group of young people to take up the cause 20 years later. Mid-Nite-A prodigy who obtained his medical degree while still in his teens, Peter Cross was a gifted surgeon, whose inability to work within the system led him outside of established medical circles. As the "Midnight Doctor," Peter used his great wealth, talent and formidable network of contacts to provide healthcare for a wide range of patients who orthodox medicine had failed. While investigating the influx of a new and dangerous mutagenic steroid, Dr. Cross was injected with the drug, which interacted randomly with other chemicals in the doctor's bloodstream. As a result, Dr. Cross lost his vision, except while using special goggles of his own creation. Taking on the name Mid-Nite and with the aid of his owl companion dedicated himself to protect the downtrodden of his city and all of America as part of the JSA Sandman-Trained in hypnosis by professional Morpheus, Sanderson Hawkins then found that he could stop crimes by hypnotising the criminal when his house was burgled. He then dedicated his life to this new cause and severed all links with his old life. He made a wide range of weaponry for put evil-dooers to sleep including gas guns, gas grenades and tranquiliser darts. The fingers tips of his gloves also release Phosphorescent sleeping gases that glow different colours (depending on the chemicals used) and he became an important figure in the JSA. Hourman-Rex Tyler found that at the age of five he had horrific nightmares, he was more horrified when these dreams came true. He stopped himself going outside as he thought he caused whatever happened. Later as a teenager he started having these visions in the day he realesed he was actually seeing into the future, unfortuantly he could not chose when or what he saw. He can only see up to an hour ahead but he can also freeze time for up to a minute and is the only being who can move or do any thing during this frozen minute. He is known as the Hourman. Dr. Fate- Aztec witch doctor and mystic frozen in time by his arch enemy; Phaeyte was found by archeologists and bought to a museum in New York. Finding his old rival dead the mystic found he had to do what he'd always done, protect his people. He now considered 'normal' people his people and so protects innoscence as part of the JSA under the name Dr. Fate.

TitansRobin-After leaving Batman for the second time Robin formed the Titans with his younger brother acting as Batman's partner Nightwing. The Titans was a team consisting of teenagers with potential to be superheros. Robin knew the thrill of fighting crime and ecouraged others his age to join. Superboy-Lex Luthor knew Superman was not human so took a blood sample from him and 'grew' a child with similar powers to Supermn as well as an addition, the boy could see past or future events asscoiated to whatever he touched. Superman was given a heads up about the opperation (by Lex himself) to lure Superman into toucing the child so that the child could one day tell Lex where Superman was from. Instead the baby held on so long that he absorbed Superman's thoughts and as he grew up in seclusion he had all of Sperman's memories and thought that he was the Man of Steel. Lex incouraged this idea and told him there was an evil imposter in the world that he should defeat whenever the boy saw him. When the boy was 15 Lex put him in school and staged a fire the boy (who had absorbed a firm set of moral duties from Clark) put it out with his own powers just as Superman arrived and the two clashed. 'Superboy' finally learnt the truth and went to confront Lex bu t he had already disappeared. Superboy joined the Titans formed by Robin and has sessions with MArtian Manhunter to determine what are his memories and what are Superman's. Superboy still retains a firm set of morals but possess not only a power but a sense of humour that the original does not. Troia-Troia was sent to the world of men to retreive her exiled sister to help in the great war and to find out what was so attractive about the world of men. When the great war was over the two returned to the world of men as Troia had fallen in love with Superboy and the world of men was now a forbidden place that no Amazonian could go to. Troia uses her great strength as a member of the Titans. Aqualad-Half human, half Atlantean, Garth was a reject and so he travelled to the surface world in search of Prince Arthur (Aquaman) his hero, hoping he would accept him. Finding his hero was not all he thought he was Garth joined the Titans and takes out his anger with the aid of guns. Cyborg-Victor Stone's parents were research scientists for S.T.A.R. Labs, a highly advanced technical institute nationally known throughout the United States. Although they encouraged their son to pursue interests of intellect, Victor found athletic activity far more captivating and devoted much of his time to sports, hoping to one day enter the Olympics. During an experiment at S.T.A.R. Labs, Victor's mother accidentally unleashed a destructive force that killed her instantly and attacked Victor. If not for the interference of his father, Victor would have died as well, but his body was still almost completely destroyed. Victor's father rushed his son to his lab and desperately grafted cybernetic parts to his organs and computerized synthetic nerve bases to his spine. Once Victor was stable, his father followed through by replacing his limbs and part of his face with experimental molybdenum steel. Victor Stone became a true cyborg. Horrified by his appearance and seeing himself as a complete outcast, Victor found himself cut off from the things he loved most in life, from playing sports to interacting with normal, everyday people. Thankfully, Victor was inducted into Titans soon after, restoring his sense of purpose and much of his good humor, though he still misses being completely human. Changeling-The product of Lex Luthor's expiremental tests to produce a being that would later turn out to be Superboy. Luthor's scientists created a being that absorbed qualities of other living beings. The result could only absorb animal qualities and as he turned green Lex had him thrown out. After being told at the age of 19 his origin by his foster parents Garfield Logan (as he was named) left home. Feeling lost, Gar fled to Hollywood in hopes of pursuing an acting career. It didn't work out, but soon after,Garfield, learned about a group of teenaged heroes forming the Titans. He became a charter member of the new team and quickly found his place again in the world. Gar has begun taking acting classes in San Francisco, though he claims this is more for fun than anything else. One of these days, San Francisco will discover what makes Beast Boy so special. And they might not like it. Arsenal-Being trained under Green Arrow to be his successor, Arsenal, works in and out of the Titans when he's not having another stage of training in Queen Towers or in Japan. note- I lost the 'Teen' from Teen Titans coz I mean....c'mon TEEN Titans??? I don't think so. It might have been cool to have teen power in the 80s or whenever they were first made but they all know there not in the big leagues, you don't have to rub it in by calling them the 'Teen' whatevers.

Super cool micros, Nemean! I can't help it, I love those little guys! Ha. Really interesting ideas in the redesigns there. I think I like the Sandman and Hourman designs the best. Awesome work. I can understand about having some trouble, everyone does at some point and I certainly believe in second chances. We have a group of great guys (and gals!) here and a very friendly bunch all around. So the only thing you have to do to fit in here is to stay cool and have fun. And if you ever have the urge to make a DC2 micro you should follow it. ;D

Ok I've read it now. Good see I prefer writing stories than rpg's coz then I have full control. still would I be able to have an original character who would meet Batman (just for example). Like sometimes you'll see a *Batman* comic that doesn't focus on Batman but rather a character meeting the same principles as *Batman* and who meets *Batman*. Or would I have to have an OC in an Elseworld story instead.

Another 'villian' of sorts. Bizarro Long before Lex Luthor created Superboy he used the DNA he obtained from Superman to isolate the genes that give him his powers from the sun. He inserted these into a cadavre which his scientists affectivly jump started to life. This creature however is not controlled by its brain rather the super powered genenomes in its body so it has very little brain capacity and was locked away in LuthorCorp labs. When Superboy last was in Lex's mansion, as he was rebelling and flying off he caught a glimpse of a whitened hand underneath a cloth which was covering the creatures cage and he said the simple word that was to be the only word the creature would know and the single word it would repeat: Bizarro. This super-powered brute escaped and unable to control its own strength caused havok and thus collided with Superman whom it nearly defeated. Superman returned to battle it and knocked the Bizarro creature into the Metropolis docks...what has happened to it remains a mystery.

Wow, some pretty crazy takes on these characters...I really dig the hourman too...but I think of all the redesigns, the one that catches me the most is Dr. Fate, because if there really WAS an ancient Egyptian Mystic, I imagine he would look much more like this. Oh, and yer Joker...are you an Ichi The Killer fan?

Ichi the killer IS a Japanese film, but the character I was talking about isn't Ichi, it's Kakihara...one of the craziest film characters EVER. It's based of a manga. And Zatoichi The Blind Swordsmen does, indeed, rule.
