Ok, that was pretty awesome, and now the various quotes make sense. Thank you, CynCat.

Here's version 2, then.

Name: James Eisenherz
Pseudonym: Mr. Black

Appearance: Jim is average height, standing somewhere close to 5'10", and is in good shape. Black hair just barely long enough to stay parted and dark brown eyes make his skin look paler than it is, which is already fairly pale. No visible scars, a small mole on his forearm is his only distinguishing mark.

More: Jim wants to be Superman. He tries to play the hero, constantly infuriating conventional law enforcement through his ignorance of the legal system. The cops keep finding people cuffed in front of the station with no idea of why Mr. Black "arrested" them. He has been getting better about this, and has started leaving notes. His handwriting is terrible.

Power: Mental Construct
James Eisenherz, aka Mr. Black, is capable of creating temporarymatter through pure willpower. Machines are beyond his talent, though a little creativity gets around this. The constructs are invariably black, and cease to exist when seperated by a great distance from James or when he stops concentrating on them. Maintaining a construct requires about as much conscious thought as keeping his eyes closed, though creating one takes at least some effort.
Remember: Die angry, and leave a heavy corpse.

I'll bet Mr. Black is in great demand at parties, and at Assassin's Guild meetings.

Looks fine to me, though you should've made him blonde to make people confused until he starts making stuff.

So, did I give everyone the shivers last night? Is that why no one else posted?

He hadn't noticed the women walking up to stand next to him, but he heard their soft gasps of shock. One of them, the dark-haired lady who was the one who had opened the door, turned to look at him. "Well, let's assume for the moment that the good guys will win and we'll get rescued. How did you manage to escape?"

Scratching the back of his head, Alexander was silent for a few moments as he tried to think of a good answer that wouldn't involve him mentioning that he was a meta-human.

Alright, we need to get this back on track following the crash. We have two options at this point and neither of them are that thrilling.

We can redo posts, rewriting and replaying what we did in the last week all over again. This will obviously be more lengthy, detailed and time consuming.

or

I can just make one large summary post of what all was happening during the "week that never was" enabling us to jump right back to where we were before the unfortunate incident.

I'm fine with either way, though lean towards the first option just to have the whole story back, really. But I leave the decision up to you all, let me know what you guys want to do.

I prefer a lump "This is what happened Post", since I don't feel like reposting that whole Argent/Blackheart/Tachyon thing. So, a nice little "When we last left our Heros...." would work well.

Yeah. Just a quick fast-forward to get us roughly where we were when the forums hiccupped, so we won't have to retread the same ground.

As I can find no possible benefit to re-writing a week of posts(And it wouldn't be work for me; the last week I was offline), I vote recap.

Me: Evil is so inappropriate. I'm ruthless.

Alright then I'll try to put together a general "Last time on Heroes" type post to reestablish everything.

Just to make sure I've got all the facts straight.

Argent had a fight with Blackheart over their relationship and her inability to follow orders that jeopardized the team's safety and had resulted in Legacies' death, after cooking them food. Argent ran, teleporting to Ghost who had a conversation with her regarding what was going on and she broke down and was crying and he was comforting her.

Blast, Gravitas and Hydro had entered one of the buildings at the Omnicorp facility with the intent of Blast finding the main power station for the place and shutting it down. He did so, finding what appeared to be a large reactor as well as a large amount of electronic data flowing through the buildings. They fought their way down below the building, even as it was coming apart around them to a large sealed door. Gravitas and Hydro were working on keeping the cyborgs at bay long enough for Blast to open the door so they could get to the reactor and mainframe.

Luminos was trapped on the roof battling wave after wave of the cyborgs trying to keep three female co-workers safe, and rapidly depleting himself in the process. The surge of troops was diminishing as the roof began to collapse and cave in from the constant shelling and explosions.

Hotfoot was trying to find a way up to get to Luminos and help him. He had entered the building and was debating taking the stairs or climbing up the rubble and wondering which was the safer route.

Garth had just left Ghost's place prior to Argent showing up and had discussed matters of vengence.

Blackheart and Tach were "watching" the news of what was going on at Omnicorp while engaging in a bit of heated discussion concerning Argent's fleeing and her teleporting antics hurting the team multiple times.

Ultima teams as well as military units were operating at the Omnicorp facility trying to keep a small army of mechanized creations at bay, with varying results.

The Omnitech facility had devolved from R&D to something that was between Falujah and Dresden.


Anything I missed let me know, I'm just trying to go off of memory. And this is just a rough summary which is sad, but it's more or less what I recall events wise.

Blast had just hurled a fairly large bolt of energy at said door. He's operating on the Gee I hope this doesn't kill us all plan.

Yep, that recap, apart from Frigid's addition, looks accurate to me.

On the positive side, all that contaminated salt water will be scrubbed clean by Gravitas' ever-hungry node.

On the negative side, even a master of Teras has horrible consequences when he absorbs and channels that much power. I intend to make it very cool posts.

It's not sodium-chloride, it's just sodium. Sodium+water=bad last I checked.

I don't think so Frigid. He mentioned the other day at work that he's just dropping it due to issues. So fraid he won't be back according to him...

And you're not neccessarily dead, just keep the water elemental away and you've got a fair chance of not accidently turning a potential three-mile island into a chernobyl
