Origin Story


There's a script-writing competition on Mark Millar's [Writer on Fantastic Four, Ultimates, etc.] web forum. The brief was:

"Write a script for a whole new origin story for one of Marvel or DC's characters (or teams). Please make it utterly different, not a tiny little twist."

There are five entries in the compettion and they're all interesting and worth a read:

See if you can guess which one is mine emoticon

Re: Origin Story


Well, Magneto had typoes, and Batwoman was a lesbian, and there are 2 stars two many on the script by... *** for Wonder woman for it to be you.

I haven't read them yet, but I say you're probably Wonder Woman.

Re: Origin Story


Definitely not the first three, not your style. I'm gonna go for Wonder Woman, because you put the names of the characters in capital letters... emoticon Plus I know you're a fan. But yeah. I might be very, very wrong.

Re: Origin Story


I just read Wonder Woman, and its butchered. Half the dialogue is missing. But the whole what is a greek urn? four dollars an hour just sold it to me. I'm sure it was yours.
