I just made a character, woopie! Look at him go!

How about..... he's not a guy with a black hole in his chest, he's a sentient black hole that uses control over light and matter to create an artificial body around himself in order to interact with humanity?

Just another unique freak of the universe.... maybe all black holes are sentient and this guy is the first to be born in hundreds of thousands of years. The other holes are so old that they couldn't care less about organic beings as their lifespans are barely a moment in time to them ... but this guy is a new born and is curious about the beings in the solar system he was born into.

Later he could find out that his destiny is to grow in the Sol system (our solar system) eventually growing to a size where his presence would destroy it.

This is good. This is "I wish I'd thought of this," good. If this isn't a story already somewhere, it should be. It better be.

Ethereal
Mystically-based black hole not bad either.

I actually think Scoob's idea far surpasses my own, but then that character would be too powerful to be interesting. If Iron-Man can't beat him 3/10, he's too powerful imo.

Scoob's idea would be best for a novel or limited run story arc. I'm not sure how it would work for an extended series, not without a balance to Stellar's/Singularity's power to make things interesting.

As for that Iron Man criteria: I can relate. I have a character of my own (which I've written a few short stories about) that I tend to see as "around Iron Man level." Powerful enough to be impressive; not so powerful as to absolutely require extreme measures for posing challenges.

If he had a black hole in the middle of his chest he would get sucked in....

Just because a guy happens to be a living black hole doesn't mean he's all powerful .... his powers would be very low level at first (otherwise he'd accidentally destroy the earth) but they would increase, at a reasonable rate, along with his age and size.

I'm just coming up with this as I go so, obviously, all the little details haven't been worked out (or considered) yet.

🙂

I imagine Scoob's idea on a more mind-trip, surreal scale(tastefully done like Sandman and the original Strange stories) more than anything, which is better than any action title. There's no reason for it not to be mystical either, really. A black hole boarders on magic as it is.

Fantastic idea honestly. Well done Scoob.

I DO see what you mean with the slow but progressive power raising, it's basically the backbone of every single great character in comics. Power upgrades along with moral/character upgrades, which Stellar/Singularity/?? would be getting while on earth.

I thought about the invulnerable beat cop and thought it'd be a neat idea if he were totally invulnerable to physical harm(no drowning, no suffocation, no nothing), but, he felt pain like any normal guy.

Say, he could swim through lava and be fine, but it would hurt so bad there would be a chance of him passing out.

Doesn't this guy basically already exsist?

He's a guy, named black hole, with a black hole in his chest...

Well, that has to be disappointing. I'd probably be pissed...

I got an idea for a character who is a regular beat cop who basically possesses the power of complete and utter invulnerability; and that's it. No super strength or speed or anything, but he can't be physically harmed by anything at all...ever. He can suffocate or drown, though.

I can think up a thousand stories of a cop running around jumping off friggin' skyscrapers after a drug dealer or some such else nonsense.

I had this same idea. No other powers, no skills, nothing. He just can't be physically hurt.

Oh and I love your idea and design for Singularity (stellar kinda seems more diva/flashy while Singularity conveys the mysteriousness of the character).

Nice origin Scoobs. A bit too powerful for my taste, unless the story revolves heavily on his thoughts and inner conflicts about how to utilize his power

I've tweeked the character's appearance a lot. This design fits more with Scoob's very good story/character.

He now IS a black hole.

It's actually Solar mixed with a drawing I did on mspaint. He's looked like that since the 40's. Way ahead of his time.

Here's an idea for two characters I made up when I was 14.

Bob & Joe.

Bob is an ordinary guy who had landed a temp job at an animal research facility. He screwed up while mopping and let loose the animals. When he tries to leave, he sees a Gorilla..named Joe. Gorilla Joe is a hyper intelligent, homosexual, HIV positive Gorilla with cybernetic implants and who smokes cigs and lots of weed (he was a drug testing gorilla).

They end up being friends and they move in together, Joe just sits on the couch smoking weed and watching T.V most of the time, but occasionally he leaves to help out his friend. Gorilla Joe is the funny one and Bob plays the straight guy.

Anyway, here's what they look like:

Plus, it looks cool.

No argument here

Almost like Thunderbolts era Genis Vell

Change their names to Bob & Jay .... or Jay & Bob (silent Bob perhaps) and I think I've seen this film

btw (as a violate what I just said), how powerful would you see this character eventually becoming?

Whatever you do, don't fall into that Pit so many of us seem to fall into: spending lotsa time thinking of a character's origin, appearance, powers, etc, etc, but not doing any actual story-telling. That's where real interest in a character is generated. And this character may be just as amenable to short-story format as a comic format.

So, yeah, mindship, Singularity would probably become uber-powerful to the point of being dull.

Unlike Superman ..... 😖hifty:

I was thinking of a new time based power for two other characters. One has nearly the same power as The Prince of Persia. He can rewind time for around 10 seconds and it'd heal him as he rewinds. Say, if he's shot by a sniper, if he's still conscious, he can rewind and be totally healed and also know to look for that same sniper.

The other power is basically just a normal soldier who, at all times, sees 30 seconds ahead into the future. He can't actually see normal time at all, all he can see is 30 seconds in the future. It'd be impossible to catch him off by surprise or even to have an accident.

Meh.
