Up until now, nearly all of these entries have been past bits of PBeM posts. However, this last one is new - although based on ideas regarding Dr Dynamo and Kid Kinetic for some time.<br /><br /><b>A few notes</b><br /><br />As menioned at the beginning, I made up this Cosmic Age on the spot. It was just a way of linking all these posts from a variety of games together. <br /><br />The Cosmic Age started in November 1961 - which was the date of the first issue of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four. And thus the start of Marvel comics. The FF gained their powers from cosmic rays and hence I used this idea to explain all the superheroes in this world.<br /><br />Entropy next appears in 1973. This was the year that Spiderman's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, died. It was also near the start of the Bronze Age of comics.<br /><br />The next appearance of Entropy was in 1986. This was the end of the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Modern Age - or Iron Age - of comics. It was also the year that DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths ended and when influencial comics such as Watchmen and the Dark Knight Returns appeared. These led to a darkening of superhero comic books, which is echoed by a dark period in my Cosmic world.<br /><br />The year 1999 isn't particularly special other than being just before the millenium. :)S Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356657498264383431noreply@blogger.com
