Alright, I've DEFINITELY got to get in on this. Â With having a multiple man tattoo, and an avid comic book fanatic myself, I can't believe I took this long to post on this topic! Â That being said, here we go!
Like I said, I have that design on his shirt as a tattoo so it's kind of a default that he has to be a favorite. Â Ever since x-factor got it's reboot as a detective agency, I've loved Jamie Madrox. Â For those of you who don't know, he can create multiple duplicates of himself (hence the name multiple man, gasp!) who, hilariously so, sometimes exhibit the wrong personality for the situation. Â For example, in a street brawl in central park, he slaps out a dupe to help him out who only contributes by crying and wailing out "Why is everyone so violent!?" Â His personality though is what I love the most. Â He's not the most confident or talented leader, and he's always second guessing himself, but in the moments that he pulls through he's amazing. Â One scene that always sticks out is shortly after the M-day fiasco, Quicksilver takes refuge with x-factor and the x-men come to apprehend him. Â The whole x-factor team is up in arms after finding out the x-men had misled and lied to them about an earlier incident, and Jamie is late on the scene right when a fight is about to break out. Â He shows up just in time to take an optic blast from cyclops (weaker, meant to stun mind you) that was meant for his team-mate Siren, and the next panel just shows jamie with about 20 pissed off copies of himself calling out cyclops saying: "That all you got Scott? Â Come on, take another shot! Â Make fifty more of me, maybe a hundred! -EMPOWER me to kick your astonishing X-butts all over the street all by myself! Â My team-mates can pick up the pieces!" Â That takes guts to call out the "first stringers" like that.
Another favorite is Cable
Cable is the man. Â There's a period in the comics where he's so overpowered it's just madness. Â Mind you it doesn't last long but he has a conversation with Xavier half way around the world, hovering inside a cottage in the alps, with the entire cottage dismantled down to the screws in the desk he's at, just hovering there disjointed, while listening to the thoughts of like, half of europe. Â It got just nuts for a while there. Â That's not while I love him, (nor his giant guns which are always a plus) Â Cable's the guy from the future who keeps trying to save the past to make a better life for everyone than the one he suffered through. Â Everything that gets thrown at him, no matter how torn apart or beaten he is, he keeps picking himself up because he knows that he's the only one who can do what needs to be done no matter who becomes his enemy and no matter what hell he subjects himself to. Â Also, to touch back on the deadpool mention from earlier, I -adore- deadpool, and my favorite set of comics I've read to date has -still- been Cable and Deadpool. Â The two of them being as good friends as they are during that while being such opposite personalities has some of the most hilarious exchanges, and some oddly touching moments as well. Â If you haven't read it, I'd strongly suggest it, it's some of the best I've read on the marvel side that is.
And finally!
Starlord! Â El Capitan of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Â He's the man. Â The recent "reboot" gave him a bit more tangible clout than he had before (still getting used to that). Â He's another one of those "get the job done, screw the rest" type of characters, albeit with a bit more smart mouthed flare to him. Â I loved the old Star Lord because he had this huge weight of failure on his shoulders from all the sacrifices he had to make or was forced into making and he threw together a team to solve issues on the "end of the universe" level not the "end of the world" level. Â And it was a team that was seriously under powered in doing so, with some of the primary members being, basically a Treant in space, and a racoon with assault rifles and rocket launchers. Â That practically screams suicide mission for every crisis you try to solve.
There is DEFINITELY aspects of these characters in Jeris (or will be with more rp opportunity hopefully!). I've had my hand at rping a myriad of characters, most of them turning out to be rather tragic in their own way. Jeris is something I can't wait to flesh out more and to put more pen to paper as it were with a character who fails, who has failed, and will continue to fail, but each and every time he'll grit his teeth and pick himself up even if it means he'll keep failing over and over again. There's that stubborn, maybe arrogant determination that always leaves me in awe when it fits the moment just right.
There's a few more of course, but I think my post is big enough >.> -cough-
