>>40321310
The question is Which Supervillain.

Is she attracted to Magneto
Does she butt heads with the Juggernaught?
Will she get list in a dream with Mastermind?
Is she into being super cuddly with a big man like Blob?
Would she be into denial play with Unas the Untouchable?
Or, like Cyke, is she helping Jean fine tune her telekinetic manipulations?

I just remembered Jean is Brotherhood in crusty verse.

>>40321304
>>[ ] You just have to clear the Russians off the street.

>>40321355

It's not Magneto, Mastermind or Unus.

I already asked about those and he said no. Granted, his opinion might have changed since then, but that's it.

>>40321395
Certainly won't be blob. Not if hes the crazy cannibal version.
And any other version is probably still out of the question mind.

>>40321427
Even the crazy cannibal version got around. He had more than a handful of bastards in Ultimate U. The second Blob who got recruited into Quicksilver's brotherhood & Liz Allen FireStar.

>>40321457
Yeah, but i doubt our sister is the kind of woman who would find him attractive.

>mfw Joyce doesn't recognize JJ when they meet and hits on him.

>>40321427
If he's Claremont - modern idiot blob, yeah, he's a dumb fuck with nothing going on.

If he's the original blob, he's a clever and strong badass who despite his big frame has probably had his share of strange because he's got that CONFIDENSE and leadership skills.

If he's the blob that goes in the Evolution style of Alvers and Tabitha, then he's a sweetheart despite being a but slow on the uptake, also he grows up with an awesome goatee.

>>40321310
And JJ has tried so hard to find her

>>40321499
Maybe it's Wolverine Origins Blob

>>40321490
"Hey there, dragon man, want to peel this knight out of her armor?"

"J-Joyce!"

"Wait, have we met?"

"Uh...hi sis,"

>>[ ] You just have to clear the Russians off the street.
Also:

>“…You guys run into trouble on the way?” You ask.
>Noriko gives you a quizzical stare. “Nope. Why, we late or something?”

Guess we're not gonna be hitting that for a few days at least.

>>40321304
>[ ] [insert] keeps the Russians busy while [insert] helps Daredevil.
JJ (and maybe Laura) is on hostage duty, everyone else should play it safe.

>>40321521
Who was just superstrong and immovable in a generic way, and got fat due to guit.

Actually he seemed real dumb when he was buff; and significantly smarter when he was chunk.

>>40321490
>"Hey kid. You wanna /ss/?"
>"..."
>"Yeah, you got a beard, but you're short enough."

(I assume Joyce is pretty above 6'2" now)

>[X] You just have to clear the Russians off the street.

You shrug. You don’t exactly have a plan. It’s more of a mission statement, really.

“Nothing special.” You answer. “We just need to get the Russians off the street. Daredevil’s dealing with the guys inside.”

Noriko chuckles grimly. “It honestly cracks me up that you know Daredevil. I mean, seriously.”

It doesn’t exactly crack you up. But, when you think about it, you do get this sort of surreal sort of feeling that the universe is slowly breaking up around you – or that it already has, and somehow you didn’t notice. The red sky doesn’t really help with that.

You glance over at Roberto, who is pretty much keeping to himself, his hands stuffed in his pockets and his eyes wondering.

“So…” You raise your voice a little, getting his attention. “Uh, remind me, what can you do again?”

He smiles a little nervously.

“Well, it’s like…” The way he describes his powers tells you he doesn’t really understand them all that well himself. What he does know is that he draws up sunlight, or maybe heat, and when he wants it can make him really tough and strong.

You think for a moment.

“How tough?”

“…Not exactly sure?” He rattles off a low, tense laugh. “I’ve tried not to test that all too much. I can take a bullet, though.”

Right then.

>[ ] You’re gonna go ahead and check out the Russians.

Recce is good

>>40321477
Never know, maybe she drank the brotherhood kool aid and finds obvious freakier appearance mutants attractive.

>>40321551
>[ ] You’re gonna go ahead and check out the Russians.

Recon first.

>>40321551
>[ ] You’re gonna go ahead and check out the Russians.

>>40321564
Brotherhood Kool Aid is Magneto's personal spiel. Anyone who drinks that has several magnitudes of problems bigger than their partner preferences.. And considering he tends to keep the more human looking mutants on his team just like the X-men do, I imagine the 'ideal' form is not going to vary much.

>>40321525
>>40321546
then she sees JJ's ass and is no longer torn up about how she wanted to bone her brother

>>40321551
>>[ ] You should all get on a rooftop and hit them from afar.

Less glass on a roof.

>>40321551
>check the Russians?

Who has she tapped on the dark side?

Or, is she too addicted to Jean's big huge throbbing brain?

>>40321604

She tries to stealthily negotiate a threesome with JJ, herself and Laura, but Laura just stares with confusion at all the euphemisms and hand gestures that Joyce is using to get her point across.

>>40321724

Nah. Joyce would just make a teasing joke about how she always thought she'd find JJ with someone with a prettier name, like Timothy.

>i figured you were a faggot bro

>>40321795

You're imagining it in a totally different way than I was.

I was going with exactly what I wrote in a joking tone delivered with a smile.

You took it as "Hurr durr, I thought you liked dicks."

>>40321777
She was never mean to JJ.

>>40321837
Remember how everyone but JJ and Joyce died in a fire and then they were seperated for years? I'm sure "hurr durr u like dong" is the perfect reaction to his girlfriend.

>>40321875
you must have been an only child

or a sensitive pussy

>>40321849
Stopped chasing him to go play punisher, literally went and played brotherhood slut

>>40321875
They are just having the usual creepy weird joking session that TG does.

>>40321784
Druid is literally the stupidest thing ever. The Joshua tree will literally destroy civilization.

There is a reason when there is a plot of "turn everyone into mutants" in the comics it's shown as a bad one and everybody that isn't insane is relieved when it's stopped.

Not to mention we need offensive abilities now or all our close combat training is useless against anybody with any toughness, as shown against Negative man.

The druid shit is the non time sensitive stuff, even if you are dumb enough to want to do it, at least do it after we're capable of leveraging our best abilities in combat with some actual offensive capabilities.

>>40321875

As a playful joke told only to JJ after the emotional moment they have when being reunited? It's fine.

>>40321901
some one is always butt hurt over powers

>>40321894
Yeah, only pussies would care if their only surviving family member that they haven't seen for a good portion of your life reacts to your significant other by calling you a prancing lala homoman

>>40321897
you do realize she thinks he is dead right?

>>40321724

I'm waiting for JJ to land a role in one of those Mutant pornos made by his boss in that nightclub. Because you just know a copy of it will wind up in the section of the brotherhood Joyce was assigned to.

>>40321928
If you can't tell the difference between ribbing and an insult then I guess you were both

>[X] You’re gonna go ahead and check out the Russians.

Weighing your options, you decide to have a quick peek in on what you’re dealing with.

You fade out of sight and make your way around the block, clambering your way across one of the alleys zig-zagging through the mottled old apartment complexes clustered together throughout this side of Queens. You’ve come to think of these places as sort of like the permeable tissues surrounding major arteries – dense at first glance but full of trickleways and backdoors once you have the eye for them.

The eye, and a set of weird sticky Spider-Man hands.

As you approach the site if the siege, you pick out the sounds of shouting – it’s just one voice, but it’s loud and uncouth enough to make up for the lack of support. Sticking to the side of one of the buildings that veers out of an alley onto the street, you peek your head out, staying a good ways from the ground.

Dark, balaclava-faced shapes cluster the street. You count under your breath, cringing your way all the way up to twenty. Their weapons – some kind of submachinegun you can’t put a name to – are idle in their hands, but the building they’ve surrounded, an old bar lit by neon signs, is pretty torn up.

The one doing the shouting is at the front. He’s a tall, lean man in his early twenties, his head capped with wild blonde hair and his body rippling with tightly-packed muscle. His lack of a shirt reveals a crisscrossing meshwork of complex tattoo-artistry, most of it utterly esoteric to you. Beside him are two younger figures – the scarred girl from before and a kid that looks almost like a shrunken down version of the older man. Neither look happy. In fact, the general impression you get from the whole scene is that everyone there is treading on eggshells around Mr. Shirtless.

You kinda wish you knew what Russian bullshit he was shouting.

Digging your phone out, you dial up Laura.

>What’s the plan, guys?

>>40321897
During the punisher shenanigans she had no leads, during the brotherhood shit she was lied to and told JJ was dead.

JJ has almost absolute faith in Joyce. The crippling heart break when she refuses to believe he's alive or thinks he's an idiot for not being a full on murder hobo will be delicious.

>>40321939

Tell Laura the plan, see if she can translate whatever Russian bullshit he's saying and ask what she thinks we should do.

>>40321918
Nah, just incredulous that people are still obsessed over something for seemingly zero reason. Seriously, why do people actually want the druid thing? Everything before JT is pointless, and actually using the JT is society destroying villain level shit.

As bad as shit is for mutants ,turning everyone into mutants is something only someone incredibly evil or incredibly stupid would do as a solution, because it's not a solution. It turns the situation from "shit is bad for most mutants" to "shit is horrific for literally everybody because there is now total anarchy".

Is it just your defense mechanism or something?

Roberto and Lucas tank while Noriko and JJ take out some mooks from range and hit Glass Girl first.

Laura sneaks around and takes them out silently.

Forearm blades are useless without upping Natural Weapons though, which is the thing we need to up anyway to be able to take on people with any toughness.

Or.. we could spend points on Forearm barbs or shadowfield now and not waste points in druid.

You're just repeating the same thing.

I'd rather vote for Shadowfield or forearm barbs. Or wings. Or Bank. The bank is always a nice option.

Just wait for Laura to get axed and waifu Layla.

“…Remember the girl with the glass powers?”

There is a brief pause, followed by a quiet “Yes.”

“Well, she’s here, and she brought friends.”

You wait for a moment while Laura conveys this information to the others, sparing little detail in regards to the scope and range of the supposed mutant’s ability to levitate terrifying lethal legions of glass. You’re a little surprised when you don’t hear anyone voicing a desire to make like a tree and get back to the comfort of the Scar.

By the time she’s back on the receiver, you’ve had a minute or two to turn your mission statement into an actual plan of engagement.

“So, what I was thinking was…”

First things first, get rid of the glass witch. Sorry, weird little scarred girl, but your power is just too horrible. Then Roberto can bulletproof his way in with Lucas and start tossing around Russians. While their attention’s on the bricks, Noriko and Laura can hit them.

You can actually hear Laura nodding minutely along on the other end of the phone. When you’re done, she simply relays your plan to the others, and you wait until you can hear them coming to the edge of one of the nearby alleys.

You give the girl with the unfortunate powers a very hard stare.

Are you kidding me? You think turning everyone into mutants wouldn't collapse society? How? Seriously explain to me how you could have everyone have superpowers of hugely variable difference where some are effectively gods, and not have these gods do whatever they want? Just look a the shit powerful mutants can do right now within the setting and get away with, now multiply their number massively.

How would you not turn society into a system by which your power within it is effectively determined by the level of your mutation? Does the tree remove human nature and turn everybody into robots now?

No she doesn't. She thinks of him as an older brother. Her having relationship level 4 doesn't mean romantic feelings. Crusty said Layla has level 4 with Noriko and she doesn't have a crush on the asian girl.

Okay, JT turning into EVERYONE into mutants isn't going to happen, and if and when JJ ever found out about the primary effects of the fruit he likely wouldn't willingly force people to eat it. More over, there's a clear vector that causes the mutation. You eat the fruit, you turn into a mutant. No one who knows about it and isn't a mutant is going to approach the fruit lightly.

I don't really want to continue the sperg argument, but damn man your logic is shit. This isn't like Magneto flipping a switch and turning everyone into a mutant. It will still have a big impact but it won't cause the world to immediately bottom out. Chill

People are going to figure out the risks of eating miracle cure fruit pretty quickly so my bet is most users (at least after the initial wave) are going to be making informed decisions. Would releasing a possible true panacea, even a side effect heavy one, directly to the public spark massive social changes? Sure, but it would not be society destroying. There will still be a distribution mechanism controlled by the medical establishment and regulated by the government or private sector (the trees are sentient and can attack people they feel threatened by or don't like, remember?). There will still be a need for doctors and hospitals to deal with acute injuries. The real question is how to deal with the influx of new mutants and I suppose that's where things could go off the rails, but my bet is that the people in power (those most likely to benefit first from being able to effectively treat inoperable fatal conditions) will find a way to make that shit work.

Societies cope with change or they get replaced, but either way the world spins on with us still living on it.

Someone has never heard of false comparisons.

You're literally talking about turning people into superhumans. A kind of superhuman where there already exist ones that can and have destroyed cities and are still around and nobody can do anything about them.

Increasing the amount of mutants at all is a bad idea. Creating and distributing the means for anyone to turn into a mutant is an incredibly stupid idea.

Just before the world momentarily turns blue and you spit a lance of blue-white light across the length of the street, the smaller boy standing behind the much larger, beefier version of himself tenses up, his eyes squeezing shut as if gripped by a sudden headache. He moves like quicksilver, rushing to push the girl out of the way, but he’s not quite fast enough – you blast the scrawny chick straight off her feet, and the boy gets knocked on his ass for his act of (precognitive? Supersensory?) gallantry.

The older man wheels around, a snarl on his lips. “Anatoly!”

That’s when Roberto barrels out into the street. He looks different – you actually have to focus to follow his movements. It’s like he’s turned into an opaque black outline of himself, flecks of solar fire churning denoting the edges of his silhouette. He moves with surprising speed and slams into one of the Russians occupying the road, hurling him straight into several of his fellows. Lucas follows hot on his heels, bathed in a churning crimson glow, and releases a blast of concussive light that knocks several men on their backs.

There is only an instant of confusion before those still on their feet turn their guns on Roberto. He visibly flinches, stalling a little as gunfire patters off his skin.

The gunfire lets up as a wave of crackling electricity arcs out over the street from the alley below you, jumping from man to man, leaving them smoldering and incognizant and very probably scarred for life. Laura dashes out of the alley in its wake.

Just like that, you’ve cut their numbers right in half.

The big guy with the tattoos barks something in Russian, motioning to Laura and Noriko. He then proceeds to charge straight at Lucas.

What? Like, that's the one you have a problem with?

You make everybody have variable power determined by luck. This variability between intrinsic power is huge. Some can change colour. Others are gods on earth. You think that this variability applied to the entire human population would still have the same social status applied to people? How the fuck do cops and lawyers matter to people that can control time or destroy cities with their minds?

It's an incredibly risky idea, but stupid? A fruit that can effectively cure genetic disorders and cancer? Also increase the possibility of mutants with helpful powers, that can control the weather or increase the growth of plants or can allow you to survive the vacuum of space... mutant powers can be incredibly dangerous, but to ascribe to the thought that all mutant powers are shit is stupid. It's a gamble, and one people would sooner or later find out about and weigh their options on. JJ is not going to open his own fruit distribution center, force people to eat fruit or grow enough to support the entire world's population. Fuck, the minute he found out what the fruit could do he'd probably secret it away because he'd understand the implications.

Certainly true. Isn't that what's already happening with mutants in this setting? JT'd turn up the heat from the hard liners, sure, but they're trying to kill us anyway. Meanwhile, people's children, their parents and friends and soulmates might still be alive because they're mutants now. Assuming no one goes full psycho, that kind of exposure'll probably change some minds.

Damn, he’s really fast. At least as fast as his little friend.

Luckily, you’re not so sluggish yourself, and as the incensed Russian charges across the road toward Lucas you redouble your grasp upon the corner of the alley, wrenching a slab of old, mottled brickwork from the side of the wall. Drawing your arm back, you let your strange internal geomantics inform a path straight to the center of his chest, and hurl your improvised cannonball through the air.

You’re a little off the mark, but not by much. The clump of masonry strikes him across his shoulder. A normal man would have been spun from their feet, but he just keeps going. The blow takes some of his inertia out of him, but he still manages to barge shoulder-first into the kinetically-charged Lucas, hurling the young man off his feet and a fair distance through the air.

Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch.

Readying yourself to move, you glance momentarily at the others. The remaining gunmen have turned their fire on Noriko and Laura, the latter of whom has managed to leap to cover behind an unfortunate SUV. Roberto is literally shielding Noriko with his boy, and though you don’t see any blood, each bullet clearly hurts enough to give him pause.

In the corner of your eye, you notice the blonde kid picking up the glass-girl. Her poise is slack, almost like a puppet with the strings cut out from over its head, but you’re sure you can hear her babbling something to the boy. Sounds kinda incoherent from here though.

>>40323428
It's not a terrible power, but after our showing against Negative man I'd rather boost up to claws 4 first before anything so we can actually use our close combat skills against anyone above mook level. Adamantine level attacks aint nothing to sneeze at, even without the bonus speed or the tail.

>>40323447
We'd need to splurge on adhesive touch for non-lethal capture strikes.

>>40323487

Clearly we need to get Raptor Legs, then go train with Batroc the Leaper.

Though, I think JJ is already fighting above mook level already, he's just not at "can fight with Negative on equal footing" level.

>>40323496
We can already do that, JJ picked up Kevin with his feet while playing tag

>>40323462

Nope. No thanks, little tattoo kid, you don’t care how much of a gentleman you are, she’s not getting up. Too scary.

You aim a blast of concussive light over the street, slamming the girl out of his grasp and spinning him about. He doesn’t go down this time, but you have other things to worry about. Keeping the power flowing, you turn your gaze toward the sock-faced gunmen littering the street. The light scythes through them, all but flattening the first, inattentive two to be caught under your gaze and sending the others scattering back toward the building they’d previously been set on shooting to bits.

Given a moment’s reprieve, Roberto drops his arms away from his eyes, momentarily confused, before he appears to realize what’s happened. Nodding up at you, he runs after the withdrawing gunmen.

You turn toward Lucas and his big blonde problem, and you cannot describe your relief when he’s not dead.

The Russian has him pinned up against a black BMV on your side of the road, but the absolute hail of kicks and punches Lucas is dropping all over the guy seems to preventing the much bigger man from taking advantage his situation.

“You!” Hey that’s English not Russian. You turn your gaze toward the source of the voice.

The blonde kid is pointing in your direction, his face contorted in rage. He doesn’t seem to be doing anything, though, so…

Nah, just the shit created by the ability. So our horns, claws, tail, and leg-talons/armor would all be around Adamantine-level durability.

If we bought Elbow Blades/Spines, they would also be that durability (so we'd effectively be wielding two meter long prehensile whips topped with adamantine swords.)

>>40323534

>>40323539

You mean like how we do all the time? Like how we spent tons of points getting powers to get better close combat skills because we do just that all the damn time?

Plus upping our claws would allow us to actually damage high tier guys, whether we fight them or hit them from stealth. There are more people in the comics that can tank a lightning bolt to the face than can tank Adamantine.

You're thinking to small for a level 6 power. Go with something like an Adhesive Field. Lock down groups of people, immobilize chunks of liquids (allows for creating small rafts of congealed water as well as running across fast moving water), aero braking field to shed speed from a dive or try to cushion a falling comrade. The extended sticking thing is a little unimpressive given the power can cause undetectable aneurysms at level 4.

I guess you could say JJ would have a serious case of helmet hair.

>>40323793
Actually we kinda can. At least as long as we get some sunlight. We can out hide a lot.

>>40323819
We have super weapon use abilities. invisible super precise, super strength trowing weapons.

No one wants to use weapons taught.

>>40323856
Optic blast range sucks.

Rolled 8, 17 = 25 (2d20)

The talk is about Natural Weapons. Which gives us a way to damage high tier guys (or just any actually tough guys) from stealth or not.

Rolled 8, 1 = 9 (2d20)

A lot is not forever.

Telescopic Zoom extrap

Like 2 points for having eagle vision and range.

>>40323908
You fucked up. The second roll was our only good roll.

>Optic blast range sucks.

Where are you getting that from? Its range is anything you can actually see. It has next to no drop-off. Crusty has said, if we got that one extrapolative that enhances the range of JJ's sight, we'd be able to hit things from miles away.

I'm going to name you Miss Information

We get charged and hit at same time we use it. It has less range than a gun.

>>40323956

No, it doesn't. What the fuck are you even talking about?

The SPEED of the shot is slower than a bullet, but the range is fine.

>>40323926
Yeah, we really should put telescopic vision on the buy list. Pair that with wings, optic blasts and our invisibility and JJ becomes a precision drone flying over an unsuspecting populace.

>>40323874
Probably Medusa?

Dammit People. Lucas is fighting Russian Hulk that he literally can't beat even with a critical, is backed into a corner and barely surviving, and you freak over a damn kid whose only power has thus far been minor superspeed and dangersense.
