Earth-218 - The Spaceknights

Image
Stamford, CT - the New Warriors, while filming an episode for their reality-TV show, attempt to apprehend a group of supervillains. A battle erupts and one of those villains, Nitro, uses his self-detonation power and blows himself up. The blast ignites a gas main and several city blocks are destroyed. 612 civilians, including 60 children in an elementary school are killed. This event leads to the creation of the Superhuman Registration Act and the subsequent creation of the 50-State Initiative - a program where each state would be assigned a team of state-sponsored superheroes. While the SRA was eventually repealed, the Initiative teams are gradually being activated. Note #1: In Marvel Comics (Earth-616) canon, the Spaceknights are the Initiative team for Illinois. They have no "on-screen" appearances. It is implied that they are related to the Galad orian Spaceknights when the hero Spinner stated during the Skrull Invasion, " Man,  Do  they hate shape-changing al...

The Crossover I Didn’t Know I Needed

I was going through some old posts last night and struck upon an idea. Birds Aren't Real + Lawyer Dog + Magic Pickle + Superhuman Registration Act = one crazy adventure seed Hicksville - while patrolling the city , searching for signs of the Brotherhood of Evil Produce, Weapon Kosher comes across a glitching Pigeon-bot that is attacking a random citizen. The Magic Pickle intervenes but is arrested for not being registered with the 50-State Initiative. Lawyer Dog is appointed as his defense attorney. 

Fifty State Initiative Badges

Image
On Earth- 218 , after the events of the Superhuman Civil War, the US Congress passed the Fifty State Initiative, wherein each state would receive a government-sponsored team of superhumans for civil defense. The New Tetris Team Badge for the Fifty-State Initiative is a shield shaped patch with a stylized image of Seattle's Space Needle in black on a white background. The team's name runs down the left side of the badge with the words "Fifty State" running up the opposite side. In addition to serving as the team's official insignia, the badge houses an encrypted transmitter/receiver that links all of the team's radio communications. Unbeknownst to the team members, the badge also has a homing beacon that S.H.I.E.L.D can use to track their location. The badges can also be remotely triggered to deliver an electric shock capable of stunning some of the most durable superhumans (Fort DC25 or stunned 1d4 rounds) should they "go rogue".
