General Rules and Guidelines:

Characters in this game are filling voids that leave out from a typical Marvel Comics world. The chat is looking for players to fill those voids, not NPCs. Peter Parker, in Earth 556783 is not Spiderman, This earth does not have a Spiderman...Yet.

Can you make Spiderman? Well yes and no. You can make a character that fills that void! You cannot be named "Spiderman" As that character exists in print and comics, however you can be "Spiderdude"! You do the same thing Spiderman does, but you are "Jackson Speinberg" and being bitten by a radioactive spider turned you into "Aracnia"! Yes, people know the Marvel comics, and will probably catch the similarities between you and the marvel hero, but YOU really exist! They may call you "Spiderman" from time to time, but most will know you as your hero name.

That being said, expect multiple players to also make their spin on your chosen marvel counterpart. You could have a team of Web-Warriors take on a villain and save New York! Or a literal Hulk "Agents of S.M.A.S.H.". Everyone has an equal chance to play their favorite marvel characters, while also making it their own creation.

Remember, this game is not just a super-hero game. It’s a Marvel game! That means your character should be in the tradition of all of Marvel’s characters. It’s not their flashy powers or their outlandish outfits that make them who they are—it’s the person behind the mask.

Spider-Man isn’t the same character without the losses Peter Parker experienced and the sense of responsibility they instilled in him. Iron Man is just a man in a fancy suit of power armor without Tony Stark’s ego, emotional issues and altruism. The Thing would only be a monster without the grumpy, determined and courageous man stuck inside his rocky skin!

Your character is not just a set of stats and a list of powers. Take time to explore their history and personality. Think about their daily lives, the people they hope to protect with their powers, the causes they are willing to fight for and their weaknesses or flaws. Give yourself and your fellow players a reason to identify with them and care about them so you can all cheer each other on together.

While you can have all sorts of spectacular battles in this game, this is not a tabletop combat game. It’s a role-playing game. Knowing the character and the role they hope to play in the world around them is sure to make your time playing the game even more fitting for the Marvel Multiverse.
