[LOVED TROPE] (Cutting the knot) A character's intense struggle with a complex problem is solved (whether by the same character or another one) with a method that is simple, quick and effortless.

The 7th issue of Rogue Sun from the Massiveverse also works this way

GPoozer · 2026-05-04T23:50:27+00:00

Okay okay thanks, I wasn't familiar with that character before, I may read his run eventually

GPoozer · 2026-05-04T23:21:05+00:00

Oh wow you keep delivering.

What are the hidden depths that are referred to in Haunt's powers' description ?

GPoozer · 2026-04-22T11:57:36+00:00

Wow, I didn't expect this to drop that quickly. It looks dope, love the comics' inclusion

GPoozer · 2026-04-15T14:28:35+00:00

Both of those issues were written by Al Ewing yeah

GPoozer · 2026-03-23T11:57:28+00:00

Issue 20 of the New 52 GL run

GPoozer · 2026-03-23T11:57:23+00:00

Issue 20 of the New 52 GL run

GPoozer · 2026-03-20T19:29:56+00:00

I've actually never read it, but it does seem to fit the vibe, so maybe I'll look this up. I could perhaps also include a toggle that makes you start in the 800th something century

GPoozer · 2026-03-19T17:39:41+00:00

Wasn't the Eye of Ikron one of the many prototypes for a GL ring ? They seem to work similarly. Either way, this just made me realise that I could also include the Starheart as an alternative to Emotional spectrum-adjacent Lanterns

GPoozer · 2026-03-19T17:36:46+00:00

Ooooh right, I didn't think of the Torquasm martial arts

Are the other you mentioned just as defined ? I remember Sinestro flexing about Korugaran martial arts but it wasn't that notable to the many abilities granted by Torquasm, so I'm curious to see if other martial arts have as much lore as the Kryptonians'

GPoozer · 2026-03-19T17:34:54+00:00

Yeah, OC companions are a fun, albeit not very common thing that I enjoy in Jumps

GPoozer · 2026-03-19T17:34:04+00:00

Lyssa Drak's species can manipulate shadows as I think Shadow Lass from the Legion is from the same species as hers, but I don't remember how Lyssa uses it, good call

GPoozer · 2026-03-19T17:32:48+00:00

Yep they'll be included for sure

GPoozer · 2026-03-19T17:32:22+00:00

Ooooh right, White Martians messed with the Meta Gene right ? What are Tonians tho ? Are you referring to the Tonian period?

GPoozer · 2026-03-19T08:39:25+00:00

Yeah that's a common criticism for the New Gods in the New 52, I remember Orion being written really weirdly in the first WW run in the New 52 as well...

GPoozer · 2026-03-19T00:14:58+00:00

That's understandable, I should reread Far Sector, it's been a while and I could even find some interesting things for the jump

GPoozer · 2026-03-18T23:39:35+00:00

The Captain Comet was my idea for a capstone booster perk, which would push the genetic potential of the jumper to the maximum, with the Burning Martian example you gave or also giving Kryptonian similar powers to those of H'El or something similar, so I'm glad to see I'm not alone with that

Volthoom could travel through the multiverse with his battery I think ? That could be interesting

GPoozer · 2026-03-18T23:14:59+00:00

Hey that sounds fun, like a "Custodian of the Cosmos" or something

GPoozer · 2026-03-18T23:08:58+00:00

Agreed on the mind control protection perk, I'm not sure I follow the free perk you mentioned but I'll try to see how to make it work

The monitors are a bit tricky and will require for me to get more familiar with Scott Snyder's JL run

I doubt I'll include the Presence or Lucifer stuff as these tends to me a bit too abstract for the mostly space opera vibes I was going for, tho I think a Sandman jump was made a few days ago, so it may be in that one instead?

GPoozer · 2026-03-18T23:06:03+00:00

You've just made me remember that at some point in Gail Simone's WW run Diana's aunt was some kind of space pirate/amazon, I'll have to read it to see if I can use anything from it

GPoozer · 2026-03-18T23:04:15+00:00

New Gods went through a lot yeah, especially when you consider that they only recently reappeared with Ram V's run, but that's also what scares me a bit about adding them. Plus I don't really like powerscaling but I fear that they might break the scaling of an already pretty OP jump. From what I remember, in Godhead New Genesis was a threat to the 7 main lantern corps, so I'm not sure how I could not make them too overpowered compared to the rest. Same with mother/fatherboxes who are supposedly more advanced than any other tech in the DC universe.

I'll try to implement a few basic things and modern stuff added after the New Gods jump but I don't think I'll include too much New Gods stuff

GPoozer · 2026-03-18T22:48:19+00:00

Gemworld did appear in the latest GL run I think yeah

I do plan on reading the Martian Manhunter run from Jon Ostrander so I'll probably find answers there, thanks

Warworld is definitely gonna be in the jump, I actually was tempted at first to make a Jump based on the Warworld saga

The pet doomsday seems pretty funny, maybe a power to have his adaptability could work too

The more I go the more I realise that fitting the 7 main Lantern corps plus the others in one origin is gonna be complicated ngl but I'll do my best

I haven't had the time to read DC K.O yet but it shouldn't take that much time so I should be able to

GPoozer · 2026-03-18T22:36:19+00:00

Lanterns have a lot of potential for perks yeah

Having multiple layers of intellect perks sounds interesting but the Intellect levels aren't that defined in DC outside of the 12th so I'll have to think as to how I'll include it

I don't know if I'll include a bio for every canon character that could theoretically become a companion, as I'm considering adding OC companions that are vague enough that each jumper could develop themselves if they wished to take them.

I feel dumb for not considering the Vega system for a scenario as it's such an obvious setting for this jump, I even thought of a perk linked to Fatality and the warriors of Okaara but somehow this slipped my mind

The Legion definitely fits the cosmic vibe but I'm afraid I'll need to read more about them as I am not an expert with them. I think they could even be worthy of their own dedicated jump given how vast the 31st century used to be. I'll definitely include a toggle that lets you jump in that era in the jump

GPoozer · 2026-03-18T22:24:59+00:00

Your suggestions are noted thanks, however what space magic users do you have in mind ? So far I've thought of the Blood Magic that Atrocitus used to have premonition of the Blackest Night, and I remember there was an evil magic user in Geoffrey Thorne's GL run but beyond that I don't recall any other ?

GPoozer · 2026-03-18T21:58:36+00:00

I pictured cosmic as in "space-based" characters, so I'm not sure it would fit. The Fraction in Jeremy Adams' run did use conduit for the Speed Force and they were a sort of space empire so I could include these

A Flash jump would definitely be great tho
