Here's one for the Fantastic Four!

>Brave Explorers
>Secret Mission
>Cosmic Rays
>First Family

Uh, plenty of families existed before the Fantastic Four. Like thousands of years of families...

That's not bad.

Not good either.

>Opressed People
>Damned Mother
>Scarred Face
>Only Doom

You didn't even use the word fantastic. 0/10.

Dang, good point. How about Spider-man?

>Shy Youth
>Radioactive Spider
>Dead Uncle
>Powerful Responsibility

Oooo, you're right.

>Brave Explorers
>Fantastic Mission
>Cosmic Rays
>First Family

I like this one better.

It's great power and great responsibility. Not powerful responsibility you twat.

No no you don't get it. Saying "Dead uncle" is not in the right mindset. You don't see Morrison saying DEAD PARENTS, he says "desperate scientists".

...

You're right, you're right. What's a better way to say it? Wise Uncle?

>First Family instead of Fantastic Four
Literally why?
Don't ever attempt anything creative ever again, user.

Have you guys never heard of them being called Marvel's First Family? Fantastic Four was the low-hanging fruit!

>Dead parents
>Dead parents
>Dead parents
>Dead parents

First Family makes no sense story-wise though. They're just referred to as such by US. In-world they are not a "first family".

You could even say "Fantastic Powers" since Morrison's doesn't end with Superman as Superman. It is quite literally just the origin, nothing more. Saying "First Family" leaves the reader with the team already established and therefore tells more than just the origin.

I guess, though I think the family aspect is the most important part of the FF, so I wanted to work it in some way. What about New Family instead?

My take would be:

>Shy Youth
>Fated Bite
>Tragic Death
>Great Responsibility

Big Guy
Flight Plan
Crashed Plane
No Survivors

Nice, I like that a lot better than mine.

>Shy
I'm tired of this meme

>Troubled Youth
>Spider Bite
>Great Power
>Great Responsibility

How would you describe his passive aggressive inner monologue that didn't come to the surface? Yeah sure he badmouths everyone in his mind but is too shy to say anything.

Thanks though "Tragic Death" is kind of bad. Back in journalism school they said "Never say tragic death. Everyone knows a death is tragic ffs".

...

>Dead parents
>Dead Thunderbird
>Dead JEEEAAAN
>Murdered professor

I actually like this one not counting "Spider Bite".

Panels could be Peter skulking away from his peers, the Great Power panel could be the Spider Bite and the Great Responsibility could be Peter kneeling Ben's corpse.

Some body
The Years
Hey Now
All-Star

This is definitive proof of Jungian archetypes being apart of our collective subconscious.

Great Power should be him putting on a show for cash.

Ungrateful Populus
Idiot Parents

GL could be:

>Cocky Pilot
>Dying Alien
>Magic Ring
>Green Lantern

Jimmy Neutron?

>Someone shy
>Asking out a girl multiple times
I wish I was as shy as Peter
>How would you describe his passive aggressive inner monologue that didn't come to the surface?
Not wanting unnecessary trouble

'First family' needs context to work - you need to know about both the stories and real world circumstances. The beauty of this exersice is for it to be understandae without either. Notice that Morrison didn't use
>Krypton
>Jor-El
>Kal-El
>the Kents
For the same rasin.

Big guy
For you
Crashing plane
Gotham burns

>Orphaned child
>Strange abilities
>Wise mentor
>New family

My take for Cyclops (the accompanying panels would be: plane crash-first time he shot beams out of his eyes-Xavier arriving at the orphanage-group shot of the O5). Only issue is that it might be TOO generic, even for the exercise.

Alternatively, the 2016 meme version, in the vein of Nextwave or Zdarsky:

>Badass hero
>Mutant leader
>Fuck Beast
>Always right

I'd prefer
>Brash pilot
>Dying alien
>Green Lantern (shot of the ring itself)
>Brightest Day (Hal in GL uniform)

>mad warlock
>demonic summoning
>happy accident
>Ol' Broom
I don't know how to describe the luck of Hellboy appearing somewhere else than expected.

>Brightest day (shot of Hal as a pilot)
>Blackest night (Abin Sur giving Hal the ring)
>No evil (Hal and the other Lanterns on Oa)
>Escaping sight (Hal fighting Sinestro)
There ya go.

>Wonder Woman
