Here's a link to the thread I made on another forum (http://z4.invisionfree.com/Time_for_Nintendo/index.php?showtopic=465&st=0&#last) on Fatman. I plan on using his character here in future threads. What do you guys think about the Fatman story so far? How can I improve it? Is anyone here interested in participating in a thread about him? Any ideas to improve the story?

I am oddly enough interested in participating.

Is he going to get a sidekick named "Blubber Boy?"

On a more serious note, you've still got a lot of work ahead of you.

You've got to define Fatman's internal conflict. What is it that rends hi heart?

You should also come up with a costume for him.

Finally, some good ol' fashioned supervillains wouldn't be so bad, either. People like:

* Nervosa--with her two horrible henchmen, Binge and Purge, she's bent on destroying the world's food supplies.

* The Blimp--formerly obese himself, he was rendered lighter than air in a freak accident involving (what else?) cosmic rays. Now, he descends upon fat people and, in a horrid, jealous rage, picks them up and drops them from great heights.

* Camera Man--kidnaps people and works them to death in exercise videos, which he then sells on the internet.

* Mr. Methane--able to draw air IN as well as--HEY! WAIT A MINUTE! HE'S REAL!!!! (British "entertainer.") (An' you thought I was campy!)

LOLz perfect villains. :p I still need a thing to rend his heart and make him devoted to fighting crime. With Spiderman it was his Uncle's death, with Superman it was his father telling him about how helpless earth is. With Batman it was the death of his parents.
Is he going to get a sidekick named "Blubber Boy?"

Yes lol.

bump

So THIS is how you reward your tax payers...............makes perfect sence.

So THIS is how you reward your tax payers...............makes perfect sence.

huh?:confused: nothing you said made sense at all.

Is this in any way linked to the Earthshakers thread?

Is this in any way linked to the Earthshakers thread?

no

well in any case I would be intrested in a RP involving FatMan.

also I wont to tell you that that link at the top of the page that is suposed to lead to a description of FatMan or something no longer works

How about Fatman's parents were such exercise freaks that they'd pressure him and prod him to become more fit. One day, there is a horrible spin cycle accident which leaves Fatman orphaned. He is found by a bistro chef and takes him in as his own son. He grows up through school, ridiculed by the fitter students. Then, his adopted parents are robbed by a jogger and the bistro chef is shot (wether killed or not I can't say which would be better now). He then devotes himself to fighting crime and the forces of evil. Not to mention being a lab technician hit by the rays with amoebas.

I would be interested in rping a wannabe superhero named Lazyman. He could possibly team-up with Fatman.

Name: Larry Lawson
Hero Name: Lazyman
Height: 5'11''
Age: 26
Weight: 185lbs
Hair: Black, long sideburns
Eyes: Grayish Blue
History: Larry grew up in a high tensed family. His father was a successful stock broker and mother a prosecutor in New York. They were always working and pressuring him to succeed and work hard. Nothing he did was ever good enough. Even when his parents were around, which was rare, they forced him to study. He made good grades but despised the high speed rate which they forced him to live. Secretly, he wished to do nothing more than relax. They wasnted him to be an accountant and when he graduated high school, went to college, away from the omnipresent gaze of his parents. At college he did not attend classes, partied early into the morning and lived a life he always dreamed of. By the end of the year, his grades were so bad that he was kicked out of college and his parents never forgave him and practically broke contact with their son. All the while, his sister Laura, became a successful researcher and was generally considered the better loved child in the Lawson Family. He took on several minimum wage jobs and finally landed a job as a furniture store and is working his way up to assistant manager. One day, he attempted to regain contact with his family, his mother was working a huge case against a mob boss and she was killed while they walked through Central Park. Just when his family and him were about to mend their differences, this tragedy struck, which changed him forever. He was selfish and unfeeling towards the problems of others, too concerned with having fun. He decided to do something about it but was too lazy to join the police department and was kicked out of the academy. But now he patrols the streets as Lazyman, whenever he gets around to it.
Costume: To be determined.

His sister blames him for the death of their mother. She ahted him and distanced herself from him. She was always the more successful of the two, striving to succeed at everything and anything. The best grades, captain of softball team, first in her class. Upon graduating college and earning a docterates in physics and engineering. She accepted a job at a technology company known as Globtech Inc. She worked in the research department and when a higher position opened up, she was overlooked. This sent her over the edge and dedicated herself to killing the researcher who took the job. She stole equipment from the weapons department and kidnapped the researcher. She was thwarted by Lazyman at the last second, saving the researcher. Laura escaped and vowed to destroy Lazyman by any means. They do not know each other's true identities yet. She goes by the name: Techgirl.

When a better position opened up, she was turned down and it was given to another doctor. This sent her over the edge and vowed revenge. She was about to kill the doctor who was to conduct heart surgery on a young girl the next day when she was foiled by Lazyman. She got away before he could see her face and now she is bent on destroying Lazyman. Now she has become The Doctor. (Could change name later).

Sounds good. :cool:

Better change the name, though. The Doctor, is, of course, the preferred moniker of Doctor Who, protagonist of the longest-running science fiction series in TV history, which can still be seen on the BBC.

Lets name her, Bloodthirst.

I made some changes to Laura's story. This should be good, when shall we start?

Anybody notice the superhero sign-up thread?

Maybe we aughtta merge in.

They have a character outline that you should adopt for this thread, at any rate.

Here's an example:

Name: Johnny Scrawny
Secret Identity: Blubber Boy
Appearance (Superhero): http://www.nls.net/mp/413/johnny_scrawny_blubberboy.png
Appearance (normal):
http://www.nls.net/mp/413/johnny_scrawny.png
Powers (if any):
Johnny Scrawny has no special powers; however, when he eats anything that has either sugar or fat in it, he transforms into the Big, Bold and Blithering Blubber Boy

Blubber Boy has several special powers, relating to his special condition:

His blubbery hide is so tough that it's immune to gunfire, and large, heavy objects bounce right off! He can travel great distances by bouncing like a basket ball.

He can make loud, distracting noises by bringing together his THUNDER THIGHS!

If he decides that he doesn't want to move, nothing can move him.

Can cause his mass to spike for a very short time while in a sitting position. Can destroy things by sitting on them.

Origin of powers:

Acquired powers when thrown into huge vat of toxic sludge by arch villain Nervosa in an assassination attempt (see bio below).

Strengths:

See above.

Weaknesses:

Lungs. He has to breathe.

Appetite. Can't pass up a good buffet.

Can only revert to Johnny Scrawny by taking DIET PILL. Process takes several hours and makes him very anxious. When he has regained the form of Johnny Scrawny, he can't become Blubber Boy again for 12 hours, no matter what he swines out on.

If you tear off one of his suspenders, his pants fall off, and it's a ROYAL PAIN trying to get them back on again!

Bio:

At the tender age of 13, Johnny Scrawny found himself in the Nervosa clinic for the morbidly obese. He had stuck with the program, but nothing worked. He was packing 320 pounds on his 5 foot, 9 inch frame.

That night, the clinic's founder, Nervosa, came to his rooms with her two horrible henchmen, Binge and Purge. They stole him away and tried to pitch him into a vat of vinegar water to drown, but he was so heavy that they missed, and he ended up in a huge bin of toxic waste made from expired diet pills.

The next day found Johnny back in his rooms, but a strange change had occurred. Now, instead of being morbidly obese, Johnny was unusually thin! Seeing the change, Madamme Nervosa decided to spare him his life--until breakfast time. After breakfast, they served a single chocolate chip as desert--and Blubber Boy's powers awoke with a vengeance. Instantly, Nervosa tried to strike again, but, this time, the phenomenal powers of Blubber Boy kept him from harm until the police arrived. At first, the police tried to arrest him. They didn't get very far. Then, they finally listened to his side of the story. By then, Nervosa had made her escape.

As they studied the clinic, they learned that Nervosa was using it to take over the minds of the people inside of it, in an attempt to take over the world's food supply. Hearing of this, Johnny dedicated himself to fighting her evil, and crime everywhere. As time went on, he also learned how to use his powers, and to transform between his human persona and Blubber Boy.

Where is everybody?

I dunno. I'm in Western New York. Where are you?

I'm in Sicily.

Fatman, eh?

Does he dole out heavy handed justice? Will he come down hard on criminals? Is any police issue donut safe?

(sorry)

Edit: Re. Sidekick: Will they be having a whale of a time?

Umm... how exactly would Fatman get around... by super-rollerscate?

Ratman would also be an option...

O.O.C.: If it’s still ok, I would like to add another character to the LEAGUE OF QUIKYMART PATRINS.

Name: Porter, Pettier

Pseudonym: Hunger-Man

Superhero appearance: http://myhunger.com/

Normal appearance: http://www.blueskyfashion.com/fashion/reed/1521Z.jpg

Powers: Hunger-Man, and in fact Porter Pettier, can go for very long periods of time without eating and, in fact, again, he rarely gets hungry. Further, it is as Hunger-Man that Porter comes into his truly extraordinary attributes; for when ever there is a hotdog about Porter grows a third arm, an arm gifted with super-strength. In addition, he has Meat vision. (O.O.C.: So basically, if there is a hotdog around Porter becomes Hunger-Man a three-armed super-hero who has super-strength in only one out of his three arms. Oh, and meat vision.)

Origen of powers: ate a hot dog and the hot dog ate back. (See bio below)

Strengths: three arms, one really, really, really strong arm, he doesn’t eat much and he is bullet proof in his middle/super-strong arm. In addition, he has meat vision.

weaknesses: Hunger-man has two weak arms, can only turn into Hunger-man when he is around hotdogs and he must eat all hot dogs he sees or he becomes enraged with an unquenchable hunger. additionally, he is not bulletproof any ware other than his middle arm, and he needs to breath. However, he can go without eating for about 9 weeks. (three times normal) He can only remain Hunger-Man for 12 hours, he must wait at least one hour after eating before he can swim, fly, or run fast (not that he can fly, or run especially fast anyway) also, if he was Hunger-Man within the last 24 hours, he must wait till the next time that it is either, 8:00a.m.(breakfast), 12:00p.m.(lunch), 6:30p.m.(dinner) or 2:36a.m.(fourth meal) before hotdogs, or anything elss, can turn him into Hunger man again; although a strong yet resistible urge to eat any hotdogs he sees does remain. Oh, and he has meet vision. (O.o.c.: ok I will stop mentioning the meat vision without just cause now)

Bio.: One day...uh..er... night, in the metropolises of Suburbia, a tragedy struck, half the city was destroyed by what all of the best tabloids were calling the most muscle-bound meteor shower ever. However, unbeknownsed to almost everyone, along with the, assuredly fit, rocks, landed a small, one baby, space pod, which was found by Ben and Martha Kent. The kents took the baby in They saw no problem with the concept of taking home a, strange space baby, and his space pod, without notifying anyone even of the fact that they were now parents, while maintaining the assumption that they would suffer no ill effects. Much to the Kent's luck, they were right and they and there sun lived relatively normal and uneventful lives. Mean while, across town, next to Suburbia's nuclear power and hotdog packing plant, (it is a very small metropolis) Lived the Pettier family: 32 year old Tomb Pettier, 28 year old Kate Pettier, and 15 year old Porter Pettier. Porter was a nice if average kid, until one day...: "The metropolis of Suburbia, all is peaceful and sublime, the sun is shining, and the birds are chirping and at the students of Acme-Update Public High School are enjoying a field trip to the Nuclear power and Hotdog packing plant. After a long and interesting true of the nuclear part of the plant, the students were brought to the hot dog packing section for lunch. however little did any one know that a single hot dog had accidentally been eradiated by an offish safety inspector named Hummer M, Sampson. Additionally due to the preoccupation of a loyal propane salesman, Crank Fill, (who supplies the propane the plant uses to cook the hotdogs) a small amount of mustard was contaminated with toxic waist, where did this toxic mustard go you ask, well on the nuclear hotdog of cores. (oh and the magic catsup, I mustn’t forget the magic catsup; that’s the key to meat vision you know) the combination of magic, radio activity, and toxicity were at just the right levels to give that hot dog a basic life force of its own. Therefore, it was that when Porter Pettier razed his nuclear, toxic, magic, living hotdog to his moth that, the hotdog, fearing for its life bit Porter back. Porter immediately dropped his dog, but of coerce it was too late and his newfound powers surfaced, along with the unyielding hunger that comes along with it. In the tussle that followed Porter wrecked ten chairs, three tables, 6 peoples arms, and ate 69 hotdogs, including the unfortunate living, nuclear, toxic, magical one. after regaining control, when all the meat byproduct filled cow intestines were gone, he decided to vow to fight against the CEOs and middle management of power plants/hotdog packaging plants every wear; in order to make sure that nothing like him would ever happen again.

p.s.: so wat do you guysd think? any wat I would love to play this or many otheres you and or I cum op with in the future.

Umm... how exactly would Fatman get around... by super-rollerscate?

Ratman would also be an option...

Umm it's kinda explained in the link, he manipulates his fat like an amoeba manipulates it's outsides to move.

Villain (possibly arch enemy)

Toiletpaperman:

Worked at a toilet papercompany in the think tank division, invented a kind of toiletpaper that is tough as steel and has special chemicals in it to make it better but the co-workers hated him, said it was impractical and got him fired. After testing the toiletpaper on himself it made him evil and he now goes around TPing people with solidifying chemical sprayed toilet paper and causing mischief.


BTW, the thread on Fatman's adventures on the other forum is open if your already on there.

i guess it would be interesting to see a fat ameeba soffocating its enemies with unreal amounts of body lard power, reminds me of gradeschool...

Umm it's kinda explained in the link, he manipulates his fat like an amoeba manipulates it's outsides to move.
