Weekly Any Forums creation thread

And that's why I wanted somewhere else to post it because it's just massive walls of raw idea text right now.

The guards can have the "shoot anyone who looks out of place" order.

While Jack is fighting Cataract, Kurt pretends to still be mind controlled around the guards until he can set off the fire alarm and sprinklers.

The mind slaves snap out of it. Cataract is left high and dry for when the cops show up. Jack bails to remain out of sight while Kurt stays behind to reveal what happened.

The stinger though would be Aoko holding up the newspaper going "See? I told you he'd be useful to leave alive." to her bodyguard.

Aoko justifies to her bodyguard/henchman that JH is more useful alive since she's able to point him at rivals to take down for them. Not sure how well it would work unless they find out each other's identities rather early on. If Jack ever finds out he still won't think that she was using him since all the information he was given lead to many dangerous criminals being taken down.

Too many layers maybe?

For the past year or so photoshop crashes my computer if it's open for "too long" so I've had to go to Krita

>Jack is running late to football practice, there's a cultist on campus recruiting who is sprinting along side him trying to give him a pamphlet, but Jack ignores him since he's going to be late.
>In their very first "meeting" I2Eye is at the college doing recruiting. Jack runs right by him despite I2Eye's best efforts to lure him in. This is because Jack is running late for football practice.
So we make it obvious its a cultist? Something I though with I2Eye could be he made a conference telling about the virtue of his company (so brainwashing in masse), and the cultist could be a patrol that tries to bring Jack to the conference. Jack won't go of course, and the conference is nearly over too. After the conference is over, I2Eye exits the auditorium and sees Jack heading to his training session. Since he knows/doesn't remember if Jack has been assisting the conference he tries to convince Jack if he wants to talk a bit with him, but Jack is in too much of a hurry. Risking being late for an appointement of his own, I2Eye let Jack go. One more or less slave is no big deal.

Everything's fine here. Also since it's the main Any Forums-verse, how many metahumans would there be in proportion of the population? I know it was discussed for the Loverly Ladybug comic.

>A joke could be made with the goons being brainwashed members of the football team, and they are sore and bruised, and Jack is extremely embarrassed.
I feel like the joke would be better placed at the end of the arc with Jack and Kurt hanging with the rest of the Football team and Doug saying he's pretty sore, like he's been smashed with a hammer in X places. Jack has a flashback and he gets ashamed, while Kurt simply asks what's wrong... with Jack saying "nothing". Plus it would fit with Jack understanding that the goons are mind controlled when he sees Kurt.

Seems good.

All in all, we got a good story!

I think we need to make the scene with the cultist trying to get a hold of Jack as brief as possible. The cult leader himself needs to be the one to do it because he's the only one with mind control powers and the idea of a cultists running at full speed alongside a college football player is funny in my mind. It's also funny to me since that guy really would be I2Eye, the leader of the whole thing. No one ever suspects the leader to be out and about doing grunt work.

The story overall needs so much elaboration, and I'm just not in the right mindset right now to do it. Yet I know that's why the thread will end up dead, because I just wasn't in the mood at the moment when it was up.
Last thread lasted just a bit too long and I've not had long enough for all this to settle down yet in my mind to begin shaping it more.

Well hopefully, other discussion can be had and giving you time to rest. Otherwise, yeah the thread will die and we'll reappoint the rest of the story next week

The thing about /coc/ is if you want it, you really have to do it yourself.

So, what is Roller Blade doing in the opener? Is he just monologuing his life story before someone tells him to get on with it? What are the words he's saying?
Does he flip out and begin to roll out when someone interrupts him?

Pretty sure we should start the comic with JH already fighting Roller Blades. First panel(s) would be a busy street that immediately gets wrecked by RB in the next one(a). Perhaps JH just pulled away a civvie from RB and he’s now getting chased. The latter is saying something like “Get back here!”, and JH could quip with “You know that never works, right?”

JH would then think where he could hide the civilian without causing collateral damages and putting innocent lives at risk.

In a widespread panel JH could ask what’s gotten to the villain’s head to go ballistic like that, to which he replies that the civvie called him a stinky thrash blob (because when he rolls around things like pieces of gum on the pavement and other disgusting stuff on the ground are glued to him). In the widespread it could be him bouncing after making a huge crater and gaining height. Close up on RB’s face after with him saying “AND THAT MAKES ME… then followed by him smashing the ground, nearly hitting JH with “MAD!”

JH lands away from the new crater and let go of the civvie, who hides behind JH, and the hero asks if all that destruction is worth an insult. RB walks out of the hole saying that all his life people mocked him for his weight. JH gives a simple-minded answer like “Couldn’t you just work off the fat? People respect those who do that.” RB angrily replies with “My power IS to get fat! And to turn that fat to stone and back!”

JH unsure says “Oh, I’m sorry bud.” And the villain explodes with “You just called me blob?! Somebody called me blob again?! You’re f#####g dead!”

1/?

RB charges towards JH and spins, bent on pulverizing the hero.

JH prepares his sledgehammer and says “I hope this works!”

He then strikes/blocks RB by increasing his mass, which is enough to slow down the unslaught but he is still being pushed back and gets a few cuts from the blades here and there.

But everything goes according to plan. With the baddie loosing momentum, JH increases the villain’s weight tremendously, slowing him down more and more to near stop.

Villain is panicking and demanding to know what is happening, to which JH jokingly says that at this point he should “roll over” and surrender.

JH then uses his long anime scarf to tie it to one of RB’s blades and then make him float like a balloon. After that he sits on the ground, catch a breather, and calls the cops hoping they’ll get here quickly. Otherwise he’ll be late for practice.

After that we could have the kid with his own balloon be there and make his comment.

2/2, what do you think?

Maybe RB rolls over a piece of rope or a string of lights or a shop banner at some point and that's what gives Jack the balloon idea instead of sacrificing his scarf?

Could do that. Or the cops put RB in a anti-villain armored car to contain him and send him to jail, which lets JH recover his scarf? But that’d be adding a few more panels, so we could go with your idea.
