Universal Laws: Creating Rules For Your Superhero Universe

[@CRUELLANDER]

I’ve managed to create most of the story in my book but Ive thought about it and honestly I’d want to give my idea away from my superhero universe, My interests are more into the horror genre, and creating a Horror Universe. Do you think you could maybe do a video on how to create a successful horror universe or any recommendations?

I like the no time travel and no multiverse rules. However, I'm not opposed to resurrecting a character if it serves the larger story or if I just plain regret killing them in the first place. LoL As for villains becoming heroes, I do enjoy a good redemption story, but I think it depends on the level of the villains crimes as to whether or not they can be redeemed.

I’m building my superhero multiverse as well, and I have the same death and multiverse rules. My theory on Marvel’s and DC’s multiverses is that they’ve had so many writers creating and ending stories for the same character that they had to reasonably set a distinction as opposed to nullifying the work of the writer on that hero. A multiverse can be avoided by superhero multiverses that have more consistent writing.

As far as multiverses are concerned, as long as there aren't any parallel personalities I'm all for it; like Batman from a countless multitude of infinite realities, etc. I have what could be considered a multiverse, except it's to set rules for each of my intellectual properties.

"Rules?! We don't need no stinkin' RULES !!!" I think that's the credo of Disney. It's abundantly evident in EVERYTHING STAR WARS-related, as far as the Force, Jedi and lightsabers are concerned. To me, reincarnation is the most sacrilegious tenet of them all. Jean Grey and Professor X have been killed so many times that it's ridiculous.

I agree when the character dies, they should stay dead, but how do you feel about having another character that takes up the mantle? I think of Wally West and Barry Allen, two different people, two different personalities, but both can be the Flash. I don't have a problem with this as long as the new character is written differently.

I think that can work for certain characters. I was fine with Barry and Wally but I don’t think Falcon taking over for Cap works. Falcon already is a great character. Don’t take that away and make him someone else.

I really don't kill my my characters maybe side characters and they don't come back at all I literally just started and don't need Time travel yet I have multiverse but nothing too serious maybe once in a while Villains are mostly irredeemable it depends on who the villian is in the beginning i guess kind of anti heros I have magic but i really haven't made any characters Also is there anyway i can talk to you personally i have ideas like my little brothers think they are cool i have been making up stories since i was like 10 and i try to remember all my characters but i am 19 now and i realized they don't have depth and i don't want to change them
