besides the watchmen, there's only the universe of shyamalan's unbreakable being perfect for this.

There are a few batman clones. Green Arrow seems perfect for a video game with different arrows providing upgrades and resource management.
I don't know Marvel that well, but I'm sure it has a handful of more mundane heroes as well.

Anything can be done in a more grounded fashion - even Superman. Check out Secret Identity.

Hellblazer, people.
The world needs a Hellblazer RPG by MCA.

Bring on the Lex Luthor RPG. Fuck them aliens and vigilantes thinking they're above law and order, and believing their will and ideals are good for everyone.
I'd play that. Would be a change of pace, turn the whole thing on its head like MCA likes to do.

Lex Luthor was an american businessman being fucked over by protectionist measures and laws from the post war era. In our neoliberal world, he must be the hero. Like David Sarif in DE:HR.
The Boys RPG would be better.

Will Obsidian use Kickstarter money to afford Simon Pegg's likeness?
Didn't know about that. I've never been a fan of Superman...
I'll check it out, thanks.

I recommend Lex Luthor: Man of Steel by Azzarello/Bermejo and The Black Ring by Cornell/Woods. He's the protagonist and considers himself a hero in both, but well....
Also this page from Azz/Bermejo http://www.thehighdefinite.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/4jgxS.jpg

Console - Dark Alliance
PC - Van Buren/Black Hound?
Console - KOTOR2
PC - NWN2
Console - AP/FO:NV/DS3/South Park/etc
PC - Pillars of Eternty

This is today. It doesn't appear that IGDA Montreal stream their talks, but if somebody in the crowd doesn't do it, it might appear here eventually: https://vimeo.com/igdamontreal

Btw. Bree seems to have changed from an artist role to a recruiter role.
Reasising people from development. Hopefully not a bad sign.

Superheroes: Had to jump in at the mention of Lex Luthor as the hero, but tuluse beat me to it. Millar's take on Luthor in Red Son is pretty great (For anyone who hasn't read it, Red Son answers the question "What if Superman had landed in Russia instead of the United States?" and then it goes even farther with the character exploration, right down to the final Luthor/Superman showdown). Red Son and Old Man Logan made me a Millar fan for life.
While I love superhero comics and would love to write them or do a superhero game, I don't think I could do Watchmen justice (or any other Alan Moore property).
Deadpool has the opposite problem - I still don't get what makes him tick as a character beyond simply being batshit insane, but granted, I haven't read a lot of Deadpool comics beyond Night of the Living Deadpool (which wasn't bad) and when he was part of the Thunderbolts.
If I ever got the chance to work on a superhero game, I'd prefer being able to create a brand new world and cast of characters.

As do we all.
I... I felt something. A great disturbance in the Codex, as if hundreds of fanboys suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
A horse of course

Chris Avellone does Sawyer know about the portrait here http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/portraits-for-poe-thread.98127/page-3#post-3877446
Also, how do you feel about Infinitron's cuck tag? Do you consider it appropriate?
