A fan-created Alternate Continuity play by post rpg based on the Marvel Universe. Hosted first at the now defunct MSN groups and now at Invisionfree, Marvels was active from November 9th 2007 until officially closing on September 1st 2015, with a short revival attempt officially ending April 30th 2016. The site featured a system that can be as simple or advanced as you want it to, allowing for great customization for characters, while maintaining balance in fighting situations, which went through multiple iterations during the site's run.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Originally known as Casualties of War, based heavily in the Marvel Universe post-Civil War, it was eventually hacked. With some additions being made and some balancing issues being addressed, Marvels was opened a few weeks later. This time, rather than being based in any specific point in the Marvel Universe, the storyline was set in an Alternate Continuity based on both the Marvel Universe and Ultimate Marvel (Universe 818, to be specific), while allowing members to put just about any twist on characters that they want, in addition to allowing completely original characters. While a lot of characters work solo, most are banded together in different teams, each with specific mission statements and/or location.The staff will regularly run large scale events, where the majority of the active characters on the site will join together in a larger storyline, often taking place in locations across the entire world. While many of these events are based on previous Marvel Universe Crisis Crossovers, most have an at least somewhat unique spin on the events. While most events are stand alone, some have been leading towards future events or have been slowly built to over time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The site name comes from the Marvels graphic novel. | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
Marvels RPG (Roleplay) / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: A specific group of Villains at Marvels have always been seen as a way for their creators to just relax, get away from diplomacy and write a hell of a lot of violence. Therefore there are some villains you wouldn't want to meet down a dark alley, or in the streets, or anywhere. For Example: Carnage or Terrax. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
Marvels RPG (Roleplay) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: The rules allow characters to be ressurected or having narrowly escaped death through retcons. Daken fighting his way through the Japanese Underworld to return to his body spiritually, after his body was sliced into tiny pieces by Black Knight. This small obstacle was removed with some participation by Kiji and the Hand who surgically and mystically restored his original body. Daken again, after being beheaded by Wolverine, Daken fought his way back though hell once more, injuring the Kami God of the Underworld and forever earning his place in their 'Hell'. This remains his incentive for staying alive. | |

Really 700 Years Old: Several characters, what with them being demons or otherwise immortal or long lived, as granted by the Extended Life/Immortality power. The site's version of Wolverine is notable for having been alive since the stone age, opposed to his Marvel Universe counterpart having lived for a little more than 100 years. | |

Marvels RPG (Roleplay) / int_6411dac8 | comment |
Badass Normal: The game contains rules for making your character a non-powered human, which gives your character a high amount of bonus at the start of the game, but also makes them much weaker than other characters in the long run... of course, most members can find ways to get around those weaknesses. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills: The ability to make split second aiming decisions and being able to 'cap' a butterfly at 100 yards is always useful on the occasion that your character happens to run into a Super Villain. Aiming Powers such as Reflex Aim, Targeting and Instinctive Aim are a staple at the site. Characters with particular skill include: Hawkeye, Spider-man and Longshot. | |

Cable: Killed in Second Coming. Doctor Strange: No longer Sorcerer Supreme. Ares: Killed in Siege. Winter Soldier (Bucky Barnes): Imprisoned in Russian gulag in the comics. Daredevil: Only just returning from being evil after Shadow Land. Silver Samurai: Killed in Wolverine Goes To Hell. Human Torch: Killed during the Three storyline. Hawkeye: Going blind in Hawkeye: Blindspot. We're just waiting for Iron Man, Bug and Gambit to bite it, now. | |
