Uh, yes, are you going to finish that croissant? I still don't think it makes sense for characters to wield all power in the Marvel/DC universes. If they did, I doubt that they would send much much much weaker armies that would surely be vanquished eventually. Marv basically has all the powers of villainy, or was it Marvel (that's not sarcasm, I'm being serious), right? Why use armies when you're basically all-powerful? Just with Marvel's villains, you have the power of Thanos (+ the unmatched power of the infinity gauntlet), Dormammu, Dark Phoenix, Apocalypse, Magneto, and sooooo many more. The strength of Red Hulk. The Technology of Ultron and Doctor Doom. And even with all of that power, the heroes/DC characters would be able to match it. If it was just the heroes from both universes, they would have the power of the Living Tribunal, and The One Above All, who, according to the Marvel wikia, has "beyond any known system of abilities." It just doen't make sense to me.
Good question. Well, the character Marv is only sixteen years old. Granted, he is the embodiment of all evil in the fictional multiverse, but still. Marv's goal is to tilt the balance. As there is a world you know where the good guys always win, there is an alternative, a version of that reality where chaos and evil reigns supreme. The other two, being Drake (good) and Jana (?), have the same goal, which is to preserve the balance. Marv could very easily conquer the world himself with all his abilities. He could wipe out all the life and save everyone. But then Drake and Jana could use similar abilities to restore the world, and they could continue forever. Marv ignores certain boundaries the other two follow. He gets involved and tilts the balance. Only then can the other two, almost always Drake, step in and set things right. That's why he does what he does covertly. If the others cannot trace the tilt back to him, they cannot alter it. Unfortunately, he does get sloppy sometimes. Hence Drake finds him, foils him, but never stops him. A vicious cycle, to be sure, but one that lasts until the end of reality. Which is why Marv works in secret, sending out villains from the Entity's Realm.
And another thing, Marv weilds countless abilities, many of which he gained on past adventures, much like Drake and Jana. The first time he and Drake met, they gained the abilities of MARVEL and DC respectively. Good and evil. In addition, they are able to channel the powers of entities belonging to their respective alignments. E.g., Drake can channel Sonic's speed while Marv can channel Bowser's fire breath.
OOC Preparations 1) Create the topic The Entity's Realm, where much of the story's main importance will take place. 2) Establish the premise, and announce in RCC. 3) Start the event on February 1st.
Story 1) The Entity goes about it's business when Marvin Elliot, aka the Blak Night, mysteriously appears in the Entity's collection of characters. The Entity begins experimenting on Marv, accidentally awakening him. Marv, who had recently been thwarted in a recent plot to conquer the Star Wars universe, is shocked at being in a new world. 2) The Entity shows Marv his home, because he has not met another living being in it's existence. Marv pretends to cooperate, while planning to betray the Entity. 3) Once Marv learns all he needs to know, he uses his dark powers of corruption and mind control to corrupt the Entity, transforming it into the Dark Entity. 4) Detecting an anomaly from his home world of Nexus Prime, Drake Cahill, aka the White Knight, teleports to the dimension to investigate. 5) Marv begins sending down a few armies of evil, as well as their masters, to wreak havoc upon the worlds. E.g., he sends Galactus to terrorize Oa, Trigon to conquer Earth, and swarms and swarms of Parademons into Gotham, Chitauri into New York, A.I.M. in Metropolis, HIVE Academy in the Guardians' Asteroid, and other assorted villains, all across the universe. 6) Heroes take notice. Several battles break out. Many threats are vanquished, and banished back to the Dark Entity's Realm. Marv, enraged, sends twice as many as before. 7) Drake determines the source of the anomaly and attempts to teleport to the Dark Entity's Realm, but Marv has put up impenetrable blocks that keep him out. They have also weakened him incredibly. He has to join forces with the world's greatest heroes and find a way to defeat Marv. 8) To do this, the heroes must capture the symbiote, Venom, and find a source of unmeasurable power, a Mother Box. Donning the symbiote, he becomes one of the many villains sent by Marv. With the Mother Box on his person, he has enough power to awaken himself in the Realm. 9) Now, the heroes must defeat Drake, who still weilds the abilities of the Justice League, as well as the symbiote, and a Mother Box. After he is defeated, he is banished back to the Realm, where he is unconscious. 10) Drake now uses the Mother Box to awaken himself, just barely surviving the trip. The symbiote is tossed aside, and using the last of the Box's power, he restores his own powers. 11) Drake and Marv engage in combat, while both struggle for control over the Entity. After a long hard battle, the Entity releases a surge of energy that sends Drake and Marv hurtling through time and space. Drake, very perplexed, hitches a ride with the Doctor. Marv ends up in a new dimension, where the One Ring awaits it's master... 12) After the Entity returns to normal, it summons the villains and restores balance. Little does the Entity realize that the surge of energy was Marv's corruption energy, and that a certain Watcher was suffering very strange side effects...
Any questions?
I think it's cool you guys do events like the old lmb's. =P One question though, where would characters like Deadpool, Deathstroke or Deadshot (characters that could be either side) fit into the event? =P
Anywhere they want. Variables can do whatever, although they do often leans towards one alignment more than the other.

... ... ... Yeah, I suppose. I wonder, does Marv have the powers of Marvel, Marvel's evil, or all evil in DC and Marvel?

Weeeell, he has all of MARVEL's (good and evil) and all of DC's evil. But he usually just uses MARVEL.
A planned storyline involving the Entity’s Realm topic described in previous posts in this topic has been halted by the absence of Judah. Will we continue with it?
Personally, I feel we should try and move away from scripted events where we all have set roles, and go more towards IC events.

Thoughts, before a vote?
I feel like we should have some overarching events so the RP has a common goal in terms of story(see the old Ultra Agents RP for why this is a good thing), but the specifica should be down to the users and the characters they have involved.
However, we've started the Entity thing, so why not follow it through?

I agree.
I had my doubts about the whole honestly, it could still be used as a reason for characters disappearance once they are unclaimed.
