Their truce, however, starts off a tad uneasy and then gradually drifts into "friend" territory - obviously you can't just go quickly make friends with someone who just tried to kill you :D

Also, another reason why I'm making the formation of their friendship a little more long-term is because Rook has turned into an iconic character, and we're reinventing a protagonist here - I've been wanting to make an adaptation of Rook for some time and with my chance at hand, I was thinking of ideas the previous night - I WAS SO HAPPY!!! Because of how perfectly it turned out. Their meeting I thought of had a ton of references to their first meeting in Omniverse that even went on into recurring status (like Rook being a bit of a nerd, etc.) but these all paid homage nicely without ever coming across as hammy or cheesy. It was actually genuinely hilarious.

I'm super excited to continue this with you, I consider it an honor now after seeing all these ideas blossom. Thank you for this.

Let me give u a brief description of his revamped personality:

An ex-assasin hired later by Azmuth as his bodyguard. Rook is willing to go to any lengths to get the job done. He kinda talks like Thor from Marvel to increase the comedy of the series. He still acts like a noob and does'nt understand earthly expressions like canon version.

I saw that when The Man/Rook was confronting Ben he was talking like a regular dude, u should change that.

BTW, Kevin and Gwen's powers should introduce in the pilot.

Here is their brief bios:

Gwen: Gwe is much like her canon self with alien heritage.

Kevin: Kevin is a mutant. When Kevin was 11, he was kidnapped by a mysterious organisation. They made Kevin a test subject for their extraterrestriel Project: Osmosion. The Project was successful and it granted Kevin the ability to absorb matter. After their project they wiped Kevin's memory of the last and then dropped him infront of his house. From then Kevin is trying to find answers about his forgotten year.

And BTW, Max probably won't be used in the series.

Whoa there, that is some cool background, but I honestly think all of that should come in subsequent episodes, or else a large chunk of available character development is just thrown out the drain with little work with in the future. Gwen and Kevin's abilities are known to the audience, however, so the goal here is to introduce them in a more novel, creative way in a gradual fashion. Kevin's backstory can be explained in an exclusive episode, and Gwen's powers can come in 2 or 3, how about that? The pilot introduces only a setting for the show, and future plot developments are called developments because they need to develop with the series.

About Rook: they're gonna take him to a diner so he doesn't cause a ruckus :D But the Thor thing is actually quite brilliant. He'll act like a nerd and refer to everything on Earth scienfically as derived from whatever training he got. And his voice: I'm fine with it, though I was imagining him to be the same age as the show. As long as he doesn't have that annoying fake accent from the show, it's fine. I wanna kinda fix what Omniverse failed in, you know?

And about Kevin's thing: I mentioned an episode exclusive to that plot - I don't know if we're integrating that into the present day, but all I'm saying for now is that we could use a better name than Project Osmosian. I'm thinking "Project Aether": Aether is a fifth element added by legendary Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle to the four basic elements spoken of by the philosopher Empodecles.

And if we are making a long-term story of Kevin discovering his past, can be in charge of that? I really like making these long-term mysteries with constant teasing, since it's a characteristic nonexistence here (Aggregor is quick to be revealed) and has a nice place in the plot.
