Restricted/Banned Characters

We like to offer a lot of freedom of choice here on CoMux, however there are certain characters and concepts that either do not fit into the theme of our game or would potentially break the game… or both.

Banned characters/concepts

These are characters or concepts we flat-out refuse to allow on the game, or which we have reserved specifically for high-level plot use.

  • Cartoon characters. E.g. Anything from South Park to Anime.
  • Video game characters or alternate RPGs; Dungeons and Dragons, Shadowlands, Far Cry, Deux Ex Machina, Smash Bros, etc…
  • Mortal Kombat characters (individuals may be allowed if pitched in proper form but likely these are a no largely due to theme and feel. Homelands, the Adversary, the Farm, Outworld, Netherrealm, MK's Elder Gods, the Mortal Kombat tournaments do not and will not exist here).
  • Angel and Buffy or True Blood characters.
  • Characters with no COMIC BOOK presence, origin or ties (game title should give that away).
  • Amalgam Comics and any form of Amalgam style characters or any direct non-canonical "bastardization" of the original concept or multiples (blatant ones, we understand certain types like dead Deadpool were inspired by Deathstroke and so forth).
  • Characters existing far outside the scope of Marvel/DC comics and of Earth 626, whether as comics or other media. E.g. Firefly, Star Trek, Labyrinth, Krull, Dr. Who, etc.
  • Extremely powerful, cosmic, or reality-warping characters, characters that serve better as plot devices for various reasons. E.g. Darkseid, Galactus, Hela, Mephisto, Black Alice, the Phoenix Force (as opposed to Jean Grey without the Phoenix), etc.

    Note: Occasionally, we may allow players to app somewhat "nerfed" versions of these characters. Speak to staff, if you're really desperate to play them. But, you'll have to come up with some pretty amazing or thorough arguments to make us change our minds. Chances are, you'll be disappointed.

  • Anthropomorphic, Neko, or 'furry' characters, which are not part of either DC or Marvel canon. Characters with the ability to shape-shift into animal form from a human form are generally allowed but will be handled on a case by case basis. If you wish to choose one of these types of characters you must find an existing canon "race".
  • Non-sentient beings and characters of animal intelligence.
  • Original characters which are clear knock-offs of DC/Marvel characters, whether as a character itself or in what gear they carry.
  • Any character, whether canonical or original, with whose powers or abilities are nearly exclusively focused on seduction or sexual coercion. (This applies more to characters like Stacy-X, whose entire character seems predicated on her ability to manipulate pheromones, as opposed to characters like Black Widow, whose primary skill set is spycraft and weapons training, with seduction simply as a subset of the whole package rather than a regular focus. Basically, we're coming back to the whole "This game is not about sex" policy.
  • Any character that is under the age of 18. (You can still play them if you find a way to age them up to 18 or older.)
  • Elder Gods, Celestials, Danger, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Onslaught, DC/Marvel Animals, Howard the Duck, Phoenix Force/Goblin Force, Dimensional/Hell Lords/Chaos Lords/Lords of Order (Zarathos, Shadow Master, Trigon, Dormmamu, Mephisto, Malebolgia, etc), Annihilus, Shuma-Gorath, Mojo, Odin Force, Darkseid, Apocalypse, Superboy Prime, Helspont, Despero, Black Alice, Eclipso, Pandora, Time Trapper, Nekron, Destiny Force, the Wizard, the Presence, the Endless, Lucifer Morningstar, Jenny Quantum, Bastian, Ultron, Vulcan, Vandal Savage, Ares, Mister Sinister. If any show up that are not in this list Staff will let you know.

Restricted characters/concepts include:

These are characters and concepts which might be allowed, but it's not likely. Apply for them at your own risk.

  • Original characters with an extremely high power level. E.g. Superman strength, Omega level mutants, etc.
  • Original characters that are very powerful but also at the low end of the allowed age restriction.
  • Any character which would clearly disrupt or clash with the game's theme and/or timeline.
  • Any 'multiple-character' or anyone that has more than one physical body. This refers more to characters such as the Stepford Cuckoos rather than characters with duplication powers, such as Jamie Madrox/Multiple Man (who is absolutely app-able).
  • SOME Space /BASED/ characters/. When in doubt, ask!
  • Fantomex, Amanda Waller, Franklin Richards, Spectre, Rose Tattoo, Brainiac, Sentry, Doomsday, Kang, Dr. Fate, Hyperion, Supreme, Count Nefaria, Mr.Majestic, Spawn, Legion, Stryfe, Vulcan, Eternals, Externals, Deviants, Dark Beast, Invincible, Captain Dynamo, Omni-Man, Despot, Omega Sentinel, Doctor Doom, the Darkness, Nate Grey, Cobra-La characters, Gods, New Gods, Molecule Man, the High, Vandal Savage, Phantom Stranger, Cable, Xavier, Magneto, Kryptonians, Stepford Cuckoos, Clones, Dr. Strange, Inhumans, Terry McGuiness, Reality Manipulation, Hope Summers, Kilgrave, Otherly-Dimensional characters, Time Travel/Manipulation/Time-Travelers.


In other words: Just because a pair of characters are considered inseparable, doesn't mean they actually are.

If you have one restricted character/concept it is very likely you will not be allowed to man more then that.

Any characters existing from other comic series will be handled on a case by case basis. We understand that there are many other characters out there which could be made to fit within this game's theme. But, please bear in mind that any such characters could potentially require some heavy reworking and will take additional time in order to approve or deny.

Also note that while these types of characters are restricted or banned from becoming player-controlled alts, we aren't opposed to the idea of bringing in some of the bigger named comic characters strictly for use with global plots. If you have an idea in mind, feel free to contact the staff about it!
