Excelsior! A Marvel Comics MU.
-
Hey, True Believers!
Excelsior! is a MUSH set in the Marvel Universe — our Marvel Universe. Taking a page from What If?, Ultimate Marvel, the MCU, and the countless variations of characters we’ve seen across other comic book MUSHes throughout the years, our goal is to make an early years, Roster Only comic book game in which the interconnections between the characters help guide the story. Every background and every plot is meant to push our roleplay forward and tell new stories, as well as fresh new takes on old ones. Chances are you’ll recognize most every character we’ve got; chances are greater still that they’ll come with a little twist.
Come and check us out, feel free to ask questions, and join us for a ride. We’ve got a ton of plot happening and more coming, we try to include people in all time zones by providing both live and asynch events, and there’s a whole bunch of characters that we’re planning on adding.
Even if a character isn’t someone you’d usually play, you never know what sort of connections and RP can come from it.
Looking forward to new voices on our little corner of the hobby.

While I might be biased because I designed the web portal, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this game if you:
- like playing Marvel-based games but also would like to see some really cool interpretations/alternations to roster characters;
- have difficult times always being around for live scenes because there’s a lot of fun async scenes to join in on, and;
- want staffers that are really flexible and eager to get people involved. Mind and Power have not hesitated to give me stuff to play with and I’m having a right fun time.

Excelsior is gearing up for more adventures and a larger story. We’re getting ready to put out more rosters, and we’re looking for people who want to play scenes of all sorts – from live, to async – and who want to explore different interpretations of classic superhero characters from the Marvel Universe.
There’s plenty of plot types, too: from the personal, to the world-saving; magical and sci-fi; deeply spiritual or savage and violent.
Even if the characters available aren’t your usual, we encourage you to give them a try and see how they fit; you never know what you might find. If you do have a character that is particularly close to your heart who isn’t on the Roster yet, you can always page staff and ask information about if, when and how they’ll be brought in.
Come take a look around and see for yourselves.

Today, Excelsior is one year old!
Galactus is about to get to Earth, the Mutant Registration Act and Sentinels are in full swing, and everything is going to shit, just before new characters are being introduced to the Roster!
