Re: Ultimization Game?
I believe Houde won the round with Ultimate Runaways -- if I'm not mistaken, he made them into a group of street-level gang members, who have no powers, but were nevertheless influential because of their powerful parents... I think. Somebody refresh my memory, please.
Anyway, McCheese made an excellent choice, picking a relatively popular guy like Wonder Man.
Having said that, I was a little surprised that most people focused on the tech/businessman side of his back-story.
See, the version of Wonder Man that i'm personally most familiar with is the fame-hunting, arrogant Hollywood star, from
Avengers West Coast (as opposed to the West Coast Avengers), circa the late 80s/early 90s. (I'm 27 now, and I had just started reading Marvel comics, as an impressionable pre-teen, at the time). So
that's the Wonder Man I was attempting to Ultimize, with my treatment.
I'm worried that mine sticks out like a sore thumb, compared to the more industrial espionage oriented ideas that everybody else consistently seems to be posting. Oh well. Hopefully, that might just end up being a good thing.
I'll post my thoughts about the other entries, as soon as the deadline passes.
Great effort, folks! Let's keep this up.
