Those of you who aren't following the spin-off threads, I hope you will consider reading along, as there will be snippets of the main metaplot, details that will tie back here and in with each other, if I'm playing my cards right.
I'm also open to more folks joining the Challengers From Beyond storyline, if people are interested in that.
I've been reading some. Just don't want to know everything. Spoilers and all.
Heh.
I miss this show. Maybe I'll catch up sometime.
Mostly I liked wher Lucifer admits Death is a Girl.....

I will have to read up on that one and see if it is one I will be interested in joining![]()
It ties in with the Earth-14 Interludes from the main IC, and will involve a band of travelers from different Earths traveling The Multiverse and fighting The Great Darkness on other fronts.
Right now we'll have a Superboy, a Green Lantern, a Martian Manhunter, a speedster, The Doctor from Earth-14, and a very different version of Rose. I'm also thinking of including Black Arrow, a mash-up of Black Canary and Green Arrow. So there's still plenty of options and lots of Earths to choose from!
So powerhouses are pretty well covered, Got the thinker, the speedster, and long range. Hmm maybe magic or elemental then. I will have to get my thinking cap on. Ohh there's another one as well Telekinetic/Telepathic LOL

Wait, does that mean "Post Closing the Gates of Hell" Lucifer, is potentially playable?
Or Boy Blue with the Witching Cloak and/or Vorpal Sword?
I might just have an idea or two for cosmic powered types......
Well Lucifer is basically a stand in for Superman with flight, STR, invulnerable, and fire/light powers. He does have super human intelligence and some other tricks like creating new universes and living in the place outside... Which would be the Bleed?
But I could do Boy Blue. His death march was a high point on the series. I'll work up a sheet.
We can say the Vorpal Sword is basically like the Moon blade, able to grab a soul if needed and/or change shape making it much easier to behead people. Super sharp and all that. Similar also to the Soul Taker sword.
I also looked at Gabriel Horn but couldn't find good stats for that.
But yeah, Boy Blue is definitely my preference, and The Vorpal Sword could definitely be a cousin of The Moonblade and The Soultaker. ...what you describe sounds like moonsliver from "Exalted," with the shapeshifting to maximize damage, I dig that.
The Gabriel's Horn used by Mal Duncan pre-Crisis could emit sonic blasts and enabled interdimensional teleportation-- a trait that Blue already has with The Witching Cloak, which I'm going to say is good for interplanar travel like Kiz and Raven have but not able to teleport between the various Earths. But the sonic blasts would have mystical, blessed quality. They could be used to summon aid at tremendous distance, take down fortifications like Jericho, and basically all the things Black Canary can do with her Canary Cry. It would also be audible in space.
Yeah I'll give Boy Blue a whirl. Upon re-reading some things (its been a few years), it seems like he'd then be a combo between Black Canary, Beast Boy, and Teleport/Defense. He's artifact-based, so taking away his toys weakens him quite a bit. Could also do like a powered up Batman meets Constantine since the Witching Cloak can hold anything and has some powers along those lines. Thoughts on how he'd best fit into the group dynamics?
Re:Witching Cloak Invulnerability - I'd say if drawn up for full-defense, he'd be pretty invulnerable but unable to do much else (e.g. no attacking). Otherwise, he'd be 3/4 tough-as-hell and 1/4 to 1/2 puny exposed human. So there's plot convenience for by passing the Witching Cloak's Invulnerability. The other downside is if the cloak is penetrated, whatever it gets embedded in (e.g. Boy Blue) is poisoned and will probably die (per cannon).
Re: Witching Cloak Shape Changing - The cloak is also supposed to enable shape-changing (ala Beast Boy except your blue instead of green), but we could drop that to only a few limited forms that are Mr. Dark based like spiders/rats/cats/ravens night type of creatures? Or drop that one all together. In cannon, at least, its mostly used for disguise and infiltration but not for combat afaik.
Re: Witching Cloak, Invisibility - Its supposed to make you invisible as well, but we could instead say its more like shadow/light bending type of ability. Or just make things around it dark.
Which is in this story line a weakness since the enemy is primarily darkness-based, so I imagine their is some potential down the road for shenanigans. With the absolute destruction of Mr. Dark by the North Wind (by sucking both into the North Wind's Box), arguably the Witching Cloak is all that's left of Mr. Dark. So there's some ambiguous complications that might erupt from that.
So I'd say that instead of dying by the Witching Cloak, Boy Blue was in a comma, when Mr. Dark died the cloak adopted Blue as its new owner.
We can drop the Horn of Gabriel if it makes Boy Blue OP. It's just an option that fit with the character's vibe.
Re: Vorpal Sword - Sounds like we agree that some some sort of Moonsilver Sword fits with the Witching Cloak and Boy Blue's cannon representation.
As a Fable he'd have functional immortality so long as his story/legend is remembered. As he grow in popularity there's some potential for increased healing factor/resurrection.
Or he could resurrect into Earth 33? Not sure how reach out us are supposed to be scooped up
