What this episode covers
On May 13, 2023, Kasie and Rex took on the idea of ‘lore’ and writing characters out of existing rules. Vampires and werewolves are our favorite subject and we got into them this week. So a lot (a LOT) of the links on “origin story” googles are about superheroes and that’s because they’re unique and we want to know how they got that way. Bit by a radioactive spider? Check. Alien ship crash landed in Kansas? Check. Superheroes not only need to explain their basics: Characteristics Setting Past life/significant events (um. The death of Uncle Ben? Anyone?) But also the origin of their super powers. And here’s where that multiple versions / expanded universe thing gets tricky. Exactly how did our hero get like this?
