IC: Supers game w/multiverse of options (Convergence Wars)

Looking to start up a game which would be inspired by the comic series Secret Wars (Marvel) Convergence (DC) where the multiverse has been destroyed and all that remains is the Convergence Zone where slices of reality have been preserved. Characters could be from anywhere in the multiverse (Marvel and DC mostly but willing to accept other ideas at the GM's discretion.

Characters may fight each other or work together to preserve their universe. After awhile when the heroes resurrect the multiverse the game could evolve into a game set in whatever universes remain.

Thinking Mutants and Masterminds however with play by post will lean towards freeform style not to get bogged down by rules.

It sounds interesting, although needing to play as canonical characters might be restrictive, depending on how strict you were with their characterization. Would original or spin-off characters be allowed?

No like I said its a multiverse of options so it depends on the players however the more original your concept the more difficult it might be to find allies that wish to see your particular universe saved. I am pretty flexible however if a concept is well thought out though.

Interested if M&M, though that's dependant on pl, yeah. Given the concept would hope for something that goes more broad and deep at least in points, as far as potential character ideas to mess about with.

I have recently heard M&M is a good system.  Would love to check it out.

I am fine with both. I however think that there are some characters that would make sense be rp'd. and as the superheroes are different pl's that would just be making our own characters based on an idea. Though i am fine if we go that route. but i think it does create an equality that a free from would have a problem with.

I've got the DC Adventures (Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition), so would be interested if that's what you decide to go with. Marvel TSR/FASERIP rules & charts are also available for free online if you search, and there are sites with write-ups for Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Judge Dredd, and many others as well.

If M&M/DC Adventures, what would be the Power Level or PL cap?

Punisher and Dredd in the same room would certainly be .... interesting.
