They're all part of my mod for 2008. "Graphic Content" will be an expansion of the Cornellverse, with several hundred workers and a few new promotions rounding out the default Cornellverse experience with characters from the worlds of comic books and fighting games. Rather than being plopped "as is" into the existing game world, each of these new workers will be grounded in reality. Batman isn't a masked vigilante, but instead a dark and brooding character for the gritty Gotham City Wrestling promotion. Ken Masters is a popular and charismatic MMA fighter attempting to make the transition to professional wrestling. Alter egos will be included for both new and existing workers. Let's use fan favorite Wolverine as an example: [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj219/shamelessposercuts/Marvel/Wolverine.jpg[/IMG] This Wolverine wrestles on the independent circuit. His raw talent and ability to draw in a crowd could easily take him out of X Wrestling. [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj219/shamelessposercuts/Marvel/WolverineBlue.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj219/shamelessposercuts/Marvel/WolverineBrown.jpg[/IMG] In a major promotion he could choose to remain topless or instead wear one of these classic costumes. [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj219/shamelessposercuts/Marvel/WolverineDarkClaw.jpg[/IMG] But what if he joins Gotham City Wrestling instead? [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj219/shamelessposercuts/Marvel/WolverineFantastic.jpg[/IMG] Or Richards Promotions? [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj219/shamelessposercuts/Marvel/Jubilee.jpg[/IMG] His sidekick, Jubilee, could find herself in a few different positions as well. She's young and inexperienced, but she's got a lot of talent so she could really end up anywhere. [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj219/shamelessposercuts/Marvel/JubileeRobin.jpg[/IMG] What if she follows Logan to GCW? [IMG]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj219/shamelessposercuts/Marvel/JubileeWondraMasked.jpg[/IMG] Or strikes out on her own for a career in lucha libre? Almost every additional character added to the game will have one or more context-specific alter egos. New ones could be added to the default wrestlers as well. The goal with this mod is not to bloat the Cornellverse to an unmanageable level, or to create the sort of environment in which Blue Beetle & Booster Gold will be SWF Tag Team Champions by the summer of 2008. Instead, its purpose is to provide a plethora of new and reasonably balanced options to gameplay while at the same time giving the player a frame of reference for each character. No one knows what Tommy Cornell's "voice" should be, and it's possible to spend hours agonizing over every word of a promo you've written for The Rock in your WWE diary. It's my hope that being given a character like Superman would provide a happy medium between these two extremes. He stands for truth, justice, and all that stuff! He's The Big Blue Boy Scout! Get to writing! I'm eager to hear any comments and suggestions either here or in my PM box. If anyone wants to pitch in with some cuts, please send me a PM.

Guest Bolton Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 What a great idea shameless. Can't wait to sign Supes (Superman) to the SWF and team him up with the Underwater Union. Or if I'm in one of my Marvel fan-boy moods, I might bury him and have him job to Mikel Alonso constant times. :D Tis going to be good times.

TeflonBilly Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 This sounds very cool. I'm an old-time Marvel Zombie, and would love to run Freedom Force as a Corporation-type stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KColl Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I really like the idea, but feel it doesn't go far enough. Rather than plonk it in the Cornellverse, why not create your own mod completely? Surely there's enough chars if you include Dark Horse, Marvel, and DC together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather add depth and new features to what's already there. And by doing this mod I get to stick to the more iconic characters, too. I'd rather not be stuck working out the stats for losers like Lifeguard and Slipstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bolton Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hey Shamelessposer, if you don't mind, can you show a list of the Marvel characters? Can't believe that Superman is probably just a character created by charismatic Kansas boy Clark Kent. (Judging by the idea you said in the first post that Wolverine is really just a gimmick played by indie stand-out James Howlett) Can't wait for its release. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriswok Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Pretty cool idea, and totally takes advantage of probably the best TEW08 addition (Promotion based alts/variants). Look forward to it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I've been determining who will be in the mod is to go through websites like comicvine.com, look at who's been on a particular team's roster, and then hit the highlights. Even then, just because someone is in the game doesn't mean they'll be in the promotion from the start. A lot of these characters will be new workers. Here's what I've got for the X-Men so far: Angel (Warren Worthington, in both his Archangel and classic forms) Armor (Hisako Ichiki from Astonishing X-Men) Banshee Beak/Blackwing (pre- and post-House of M) Beast (in all three stages of his mutation, plus an alternate reality's "Brute" mutation) Bishop (one alt) Blink Cable Caliban (two alts) Cannonball Cassandra Nova Celeste Cuckoo Chamber/Decibel (two alts) Changeling Colossus (including a Soviet alt) Cyclops (Astonishing, Classic and Eric the Red) Dazzler (four alts) Emma Frost (three alts, including Phoenix) Esme Cuckoo EVA Exodus Forge (one alt) Gambit (two alts) Havok (one alt) Hepzibah Husk (including Age of Apocalypse alt) Iceman (one alt) Jean Grey (including Phoenix, White Phoenix, Dark Phoenix, and Black Queen) Joseph Jubilee (four alts, three as Wondra and one as Robin) Juggernaut (two alts) Kitty Pryde (four alts) Longshot Mariko Yashida (as Sunfire) Mimic (four alts, from the 616 universe and Exiles) Mindee Cuckoo Nightcrawler Phoebe Cuckoo Psylocke Rogue Silver Samurai Sophie Cuckoo Storm (one alt) Sunfire Thunderbird (one alt) Wolverine (four alts, including Fantastic Four Wolvie and Dark Claw) X-23 (one alt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamelessposer Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Nearly 350 cuts have been made for the mod thus far. Keep in mind that due to the large number of alts this does not mean that nearly 350 [i]workers[/i] are finished, due to the large number of alts and also my waiting until the editor is released before work on the mod will start.
