Full TNA would be sniping at RAW and Smackdown while you're only in contention with the third brand. You dance with the one that brung ya, as they say.

Full TNA has nothing to do with sniping at WWE! WCW did it successfully for a while, and WWF did it successfully for a while too, both of them in second place.

Full TNA really is just running a company that has AJ Styles and Samoa Joe in it and not having them main event in meaningful feud- oh wait

IhatethisCPU vs. DeathChicken

(Wir Sind) X-Kin
The troubles started when Kitty Pryde went missing two weeks ago. First, she was simply MIA, then days went past and no one could contact her, and then... people began denying having ever known her to begin with. James Howlett, Charles Xavier, even Peter Rasputin expressed confusion, even saying they'd never even heard her name before. Then others began to disappear, the people that had loved them paying no mind, as if they'd been erased from existance. Kurt Wagner, otherwise known as Nightcrawler, his daughter, T.J, or Nocturne, are visited by others that are discovering that their compatriots and families are forgetting them as well, even when they're with them.

This started from Layla Miller, whose visions of the future are being corrupted by people hat once prominently featured in them vanishing, to Karasu, whose brother no longer acknowledges her, to young Gabby Kinney, whose adopted sister, X-23, is beginning to not remember who she is, although both are fighting to stave off the Vanishing. A situation that Kurt, to his horror, is starting to realize is beginning to be mirrored with T.J. They gather those four, along with six others with smaller social circles that are also at risk of Vanishing. Can they discover the cause, and who's responsible in this 12 issue series? *

*This is being pitched as a 12 issues series because Nightcrawler has never had a starring/leadig role in a series that went past 12 issues, and I am managing expectations.

Fight Lineup:
Cypher
Butterfly
Nocturne
Honey Badger
Lifeguard
Karasu

Mutant Underground
Amanda Sefton is a witch and one-time ruler of Limbo. One day a magical vision struck her: Mutants in cages, Xavier's dream dead. Only through assembling a specific team of shadow operatives could the terrible future be averted. Doop, Kitty Pride, the undead Ororo Munroe, Revanche, Omega Sentinel, Warbird, Blink, Feral, Callisto. Amanda gathered this squad, dedicated to aiding mutants who slipped through the cracks. The Mutant Underground would see them to safety.

The only catch is, Amanda also envisioned that the end of this road would be the death of the entire group, including herself. Only in that way could Xavier's dream ultimately be saved. Amanda Sefton has not shared this fact

Fight Lineup:
Doop

He requested the aid of Valerie Cooper, a U.S. adviser and psychologist for mutants. She brought together old friends of Captain Britain and former Excalibur members along with a team of Mutants and a school teacher who just wishes to find her children. The espionage of Pete Wisdom and thievery of Gambit working together with various other skills could very well find it. The school teacher, however, hides a secret from the group, including some hatred of the leader of this new eXcalibur.

MartinFF7 vs. banananor

Brotherhood of Righteous Mutants

A dead Magneto; a defeated X-Man; a depowered Tempus. Three events, seemingly unconnected, were the portent of an omniversal crisis. It was immediately clear that their victim wasnt the real Magneto he was identified as King Erik Magnus, of the House of M reality! He traveled to their world for a reason that would remain unknown as, before he could reach anyone, security footage of his final fight revealed him being ensnared by an alternate-reality Gaia before a shadowy figure executed him with an energy blast meanwhile, X-Man was found in a smoldering crater on Quadra Beach, with no clear memory of what had happened. All he knew was he had been ejected from his Age of X reality, which was now destroyed and Tempus powers were seemingly reduced in the past day as she could now only shift time in mere seconds, which made her role as part of The Five impossible and put their great mutant dream in jeopardy. Vulcan Cyclops Krakoan-reborn brother was uniquely positioned to identify what all three victims had in common: with his powers, he could detect the remnant of an energy signature in each of them, one that was unique relative to anything he had encountered before.

Cyclops was tasked with finding and dealing with the source of these crises through whatever means necessary. His team included, among others, the aforementioned Vulcan and his girlfriend and former teammate Petra; X-Man, desiring revenge for the annihilation of his beautiful, perfect reality; Gaia, to assist with the inevitable confrontation with the other Gaia; and Tempus and Elixir, her seeking full restoration of her powers and he, a fellow member of The Five, as her guardian and protector with his healing/resurrection power. A final member of the team was required: Erik Magnus had a bracelet which allowed for his dimension-hopping, but was locked and keyed-in on his DNA signature such that only he - or a genetic match - wearing it could operate it. Magneto, not wanting to deprive Krakoa of his leadership at that difficult time, had an alternative in mind; Joseph, his clone who was in custody and awaiting sentencing for violation of Krakoan Law #2, was given the irrefusable offer of amnesty in exchange for his full assistance in their endeavor. With the series playing out as a cross between Lost and the anime Monster, the team first sets out to the House of M reality and then others, gradually unravelling the web of mystery and solving various crises that arise along the way before the final epic confrontation with the one behind it all!

Fight Lineup:
Vulcan (Gabriel Summers)
Elixir (Joshua Foley)
X-Man (Nate Grey)
Tempus (Eva Bell)
Petra
Vanisher (Telford Porter)

Mutant Intent
Mutant Intent is ultimately a radical power trip about personal stakes and finding catharsis. This comic leans into both camp and edge whole-heartedly.

A "typical" episode starts with a strong hook, almost like a heist- get in, get revenge (sorry, 'find catharsis') for a member of the team, and get out. And over the remainder of the series, we might learn what we become after catching our white whale. Emma Frost brought this team together in Juggernaut's wake. Ironically, every member's values of independence and freedom has led them to work together again and again.

And sometimes, their shared success involves guaranteeing there is a better world to be free in.

Siryn brings together her previous teammates Sunspot and Darwin while Cloak contacts previous teammate Iceman, as well as a handful of young mutants including Jimmy Hudson, the son of Wolverine looking to find his place in the world, and Wind Dancer, a young woman Siryn takes a special interest in as a sort of protege, who is herself lost after the disbanding of the New Warriors.

Meanwhile, Siryn brings in a mysterious mutant with incredible powers simply going by the name Reflection, whose identity is a slowly unfolding mystery to both the team AND to the reader. Over time it will be revealed Siryn has located and hypnotically seduced the cruel Sebastian Shaw, secretly utilizing his vast array of resources while keeping him disguised. With Siryn and Cloak using their teleportation to lead the way, the team goes out in search of both Dagger and any other missing or captured mutants.

"It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful

X-Mortis
If Fantomex has returned from the Astral Plane, that could only mean one thing: danger is on the horizon. Branded with a mysterious symbol, Fantomex discovers other mutants also share the same markings as he. Spurred to Krakoa by news of mutant transformations suddenly going haywire, Fantomex gets in contact with Banshee who had been looking in to the markings on his own, but has a huge problem: he's undergoing a horrifying transformation himself! Glob Herman & Marrow, marked mutants bored from the recent mundanities of life on Krakoa, are eager to step in and help with the investigation, but the long-retired couple of Wicked & Freakshow want little part of what Fantomex is spewing. Elsewhere, Dust is still recovering from her recent brush with Blackheart and has seen enough demonic activity to last a life time! But, as the threat of the Shadow King begins to reemerge & paranormal events start occurring world-wide, Fantomex goads the marked mutants into action with a little assistance from the guiding hands of experienced mentor Strong Guy and a more matured Broo, who promises to help fix the problem. Why did the markings target them? Is there something more sinister than even the Shadow King lurking just beyond their vision? And could a certain reptilian devil really be the key to putting an end to all this madness? In this story that's part Hellblazer and part Cronenberg, X-MORTIS examines the realities of living with physical mutations, being comfortable with your body image, and the struggles of keeping your promise to be a better person and become a hero worth remembering.

Banshee
Wicked

"It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful

The book is defined by the 7 coming of age stories for each of the principal students + Jubilee as they grow as people, particularly focusing on Mercury and Leech while new mysteries surrounding Hollow's past, the St. Croix twins present and of course the future of mutantkind. Expect of course to see your standard X-Men romantic angst, this time featuring the unlikely pairing of Leech and Nicole St. Croix, a troublesome crush by Paige on Havok and the deep aromantic friendship of Hollow and Mercury clashing with world shaking dangers challenge the beliefs and ideals of our heroes. Shark Girl brings an element of chaos to proceedings but also does the best job of fitting in with everyone as she share Leechs Grotesque forme and can empathize with the struggles that are unique to being a teenage girl without a feminine form like Mercury. She is also a source of levity for the otherwise fairly serious team. The big money draws of the book are Archangel, Havok and Jubilee, and the book intends to make stars out of Leech and Mercury.

A newly reopened school calls for a new class of students enrolling in the academy as well. Former ward of the academy Leech is introduced to readers first - given that he has few other places he can fit in with his grotesque appearances, he chooses Massachusetts Academy to try and have some semblance of a normal teenage life away from the madness of Xaviers. Joining him is a pair who were technically former students but never as themselves - Nicole and Claudette St. Croix - who bring with them the St. Croix fortune and the St. Croix troubles! Unexpectedly joining them is the mysterious and quiet Hollow who once housed the twins as a body but is now sentient in her own right. The dark St. Croix history and still unsolved origins of Hollow form much of the basis for the series early drama. Mercury joins the school perhaps even less sure of herself, her beliefs, and her place in the world than any of the others, seeking the guidance of her prestigious instructors and trying to find somewhere to fit in. Mercury and Hollow soon find themselves bonding as such polar opposites - one a diamond hard form without a strong connection to humanity and her a malleable liquid who could so easily be a normal girl if her powers were less total than they are leading to not just opening up the secrets of her origin, but genuine friendship which neither has much experience with. Former Student Husk serves as one of our focal points of the series. She is older than most of the other students and struggles somewhat to adapt to having Jubilee as a superior when they were once peers. Husk in particular is struggling to find her true self, whilst mired in the dramas of her imperfect teachers and with feeling the need to "catch up" to Jubilee and her other former peers.

Fight Lineup:
Jubilee
Archangel
Havok
Leech
Mercury
Husk

Generation X: The Xth Generation
Warren Worthington III has decided to use some of his resources reviving the formerly-defunct and often troubled Massachusetts Academy. It had long been a splinter school for training new mutants following the methods of instructors who in ways differed with the vision Xavier and Cyclops had for the X-Men, a tradition Archangel intends to continue and revive. In order to make the new Academy a success, he has invited former villain Havok whose unique perspective on the world helps to serve to counterpoint the idealistic Archangel and provide a well-rounded education - though more often than not this leads to a layer or two of angst illustrating the conflict between cynicism and idealism that defines Generation X. Jubilee - as an alumnus of the original Generation X - is brought in to serve as a new Teacher - her unique blend of optimism for the future and belief in the future of mutantkind help to remind Havok and Archangel of why this academy is so important. Jubilee is also a recent adoptive parent and struggling to learn her role as both parent and teacher defines her struggle in this book. She also is key in managing mercurial mood swings of Archangel and the latent amoral streak in Havok to keep the Academy running!

"It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful

Lopen vs. MegamanX

RetroaXtive
Bishop arrives from the DARK FUTURE, in an attempt to disband the X-Men, as all he knows coming in is that they were responsible for the assassination of Senator Kelly, which snowballed into the eradication of mutantkind. After arriving, he recruits the mercenary Domino. He tells her of his story in order to justify an assassination mission on the leadership roles of the X-Men and she believes him. Bishop and Domino knock Professor Xavier and Jean Grey comatose during a battle between the X-Men and Magneto's brotherhood, but Bishop's time travel device is damaged in the battle, keeping him in the past. Magneto attempts to make Bishop an ally after the battle, and realizes he really is from the future due to describing a plot by Magneto and Mystique to frame the X-Men that he could not have known about.

Beast is injured and captured by Magneto, and as a prisoner takes an advisory role, giving Bishop insight into how the X-Men of today work as well as some input on possible courses of action to fix the future. Doctor Nemesis, with his specialization in time travel, is recruited to try and repair/replicate Bishop's Time Travel device. Deathlok Prime is brought in to help decide optimal courses of action with his probability calculator. Others are mostly muscle chosen by Magneto, though Whedon is brought in specifically as a lawyer. The dynamic is Bishop and Magneto are both trying to 'fix' the future but with Magneto (and Mystique, who can screw with projected future events really well with shapeshifting and mere plans) trying to subtly manipulate things into a heavier skew towards mutants/their own gains, which in turn causes strange interactions with Domino in particular due to her luck ability and being more in line with Bishop's goals. A hot blooded X-Men team without the cooler heads of Xavier, Jean, and Beast to keep them in check, meanwhile, act as the primary antagonists. Can Bishop determine Magneto's true motivations and overcome them, or perhaps even find a way to work with Magneto without any underlying deception to create an even better future for mutants and humans alike? Time will tell.

Fight Lineup:
Magneto
Bishop
Domino
Mystique
Beast
Evangeline Whedon

Otherworld X

A still vengeful Magik decides to follow Dark Beast's team, especially after her connection to Limbo is cut off.

Meanwhile a lone Celeste Cuckoo shows up at Madrox and Butterflys secret retirement home asking to hire the retired investigator. Madrox takes the job when he learns from Celeste she has memories of people that don't exist anymore including her own sisters. During their conversation Butterfly herself disappears, Madrox doesn't remember her ever existing...but his dupe does.

"It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful

NBIceman vs. Scare

X-Trinsic
When an uncharacteristically humble Namor, reeling from the consequences of his war with the surface world, makes a pilgrimage to the newly legitimized Krakoa as a mutant-Atlantean ambassador seeking good-faith inroads of allyship between two long-persecuted peoples, the Quiet Council is understandably wary. Their compromise to his request for manpower in helping to get Atlantis back on its feet is to send him a team made up of former enemies, problem children, others who volunteer for personal reasons, and one or two strays that, frankly, no one really wants around. Their further contingencies are that Namor be amenable to the occasional sensitive side job that would otherwise be unbecoming for a respectable country to handle should such occasions arise (literal WET-works, in this case), and that their involvement with each other be kept secret until such time that he's no longer persona non grata to many.

Namor agrees, even promising to personally subdue any team member that gets out of hand. That's all what he wanted anyway, because as it happens, the Council's suspicion may not have been misplaced. The world believes the Sub-Mariner a war criminal now, but as far as he's concerned, the true blame for his actions lies squarely on the shoulders of Charles Xavier, a man unfit to be a leader of mutantkind in any capacity. And now that Namor's been provided with an unstable and unpredictable combination of malcontents, schemers, and impressionable young minds, not to mention the questionably sane Spiral who he somehow recruited all on his own, there may come a day when the fledgling nation of Krakoa discovers whether the devil they know is truly preferable to the one they don't.

Fight Lineup:
Aurora
Frenzy
Hellion
Namor
Primal
Spiral

New eXperiments

Building on my previous week's pitch, we would find out that Stryker was connected at some point to these projects, but that he is dead and a new person has stepped in to take them off the page and into process. One of the main aspects I would like to see focused on would be having to deal with clones who have been instilled into teams that had already been formed, but with the counterparts of the New eXperiments in leadership roles. Having to address and approach each one would have to be done in its own way. The clones I picture in these roles would be Anole, Captain UK, Karma, and Quicksilver being the predominant one that would be a challenge. (Full team: Wolverine, Deadpool, Quicksilver, Polaris, Karma, Puck, Anole, Warlock, Box, Captain UK)

Fight Lineup:

"It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful

Guys, this is a reminder that your pitch is for your entire concept and not single issues. I'm not sure where people are getting it into their heads that you need to do issue-by-issue accounts of your series, with a new one each week, but that is NOT the contest. Your pitch is always being judged as an opening concept. This was never and has never been designed to be that way, and the rules never stated anything remotely similar to this.

Greek Ezio is not that great tbh

Leave it to the least-cultured Board 8er to miss the mark on Odyssey completely. In no world is Wonder Woman Ezio.

Your current name is pretentious, but I don't mind pretentious personally. It's just the almost tongue-twister nature of the embedded pun that makes it feel more like a title of a story rather than a series title to me. I like it a lot! But I'm also just one vote.

Also I guess it's technically not new characters since kratos and kiryu are on here

I guess you could argue it's a new take on kratos

And no one in America knew about Kiryu until Yakuza 0

You probably have a wide array of people working on this, so someone should still be knowledgeable enough to at least object to it.

Just saw this list about an hour before you posted it! It's fine. I think it goes out of its way to try and make sure you know that this isn't a list based on relevance and just on character quality, which is a super-subjective criteria. That said, I would include a lot of this stuff as well.
