No cop outs. You can't just have a character with Superman's powers battling a crime boss or mad scientist, nor can you simply tweak an existing property to try and avoid copyright laws. i.e. You can't just take the cast of Spider-Man and replace Mary Jane with an ersatz Catwoman.

Could you build a superhero movie from the ground up and make it feel like something which had its own mythos to tie into?

Doubt it would be very good though.

I'm not familiar with that one.

I know original superhero movies can be done. Two of my most watched superhero movies were original properties. I'm just asking if individuals on CE think they could if called upon to do so.

There are no DC/Marvel characters born in my country, despite the area being known for weird phenomena. My movie would not be good, but I've already got ideas for original superheroes.

The film premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2016.[1] On January 28, 2016, WWE Studios and BH Tilt acquired distribution rights to the film.[4]

Ah. They just distributed it. That's kind of interesting. I didn't know they had a hand in films beyond movies which starred wrestlers. Neat.

If previously established powers are all off limits, I doubt I could write anything fully original. I could try, I suppose.

I wouldn't say that they're off limits. Nothing new under the sun and all that. But I would say that you would be limited to borrowing what other writers might borrow.

For example, you could have a character who jumps around like Nightcrawler, but they couldn't be blue or have his troubled past.

Yeah. It'd be pretty easy considering how low the standards are for comic book superheroes.

Ah, gotcha. I think I could do it, then. I doubt itd be any good.

I've wondered about this before, actually. A brand new superhero with totally new powers not used in any other mythos.

I feel like it would be impossible. Literally everything has been done. Fucking Batman has a villain whose entire thing is condiments. I'm dead serious.

How about a super power where removing the part of grocery packaging with an expiration date and consuming it allows you to astral project within a 50 yard radius of all people whoever touched it, for as long as the consumed piece of packaging remains in your body?

I dunnl about original power, but the plot is basically someone with superman like power wake up and found the city being wrecked and almost nobody survived.

He then went to investigate, accuse some villains beat them up even though none admit to do it after beaten half to death.

Finally he found evidence of himself wrecking the city while drunk on super dank drink after tryin to woo a hot alien girl.

He then commits suicide by flying into space, and with the hero gone, the supervillain take over and create an evil dystopia

Original power isn't necessary. They just need their own identity.
