OPTIC BLAST!
Hi everyone! Fresh meat here. I'm Glass, and I'm bringing in Scott Summers, aka Cyclops, from Marvel Comics.
100% the real and original Scott Summers, quite literally, since he's the 18-year-old version just starting out as leader of the X-Men. Stiff guy, kind of serious, idealistic. Then his whole life was derailed because it's a good idea to break all of time and space just so you can stick it to your ex-friend by making him confront his younger self (thanks blue furry Hank) and he got dragged into the present. So he's left getting up to speed on why bottled water costs so much in the future, why did I grow up to be someone everyone hates, etc. For those unfamiliar with X-Men mythos Scott's mutant power is the ability to blast bright red concussive force from his eyes, with a catch— he can't ever turn it off. He's immune to himself but the rest of the world isn't, so he has to constantly keep his visor or glasses made of ruby-quartz on to keep from demolishing everything he sees, or go around with his eyes closed forever.

ohmygodbees or available through PMs to Scott's journal. Looking forward to playing with you all!

But I personally appreciate not having to read a billion issues to play a version of Scott that I like because I get tired of reading 1000+ comics just to be canon-fluent for some of the characters I like. I am not even going to pretend it's not nice to not have 50 years of baggage for once.

also i feel you on continuity - i played barry allen from preboot dc comics awhile back and trying to even skim through all the stuff he'd been in was torture. i pretty much decided afterwards that i'd never play anyone from comics with more than about 100 issues of canon to their name.
