This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Terrible idea, overwhelming majority of ttrpg players can't pass Voight-Kampff test.

I'd say start with what tone you're going for. List a few real golden age super hero comics that are your primary inspiration. Then describe what you want to do differently from those, and maybe add a few secondary inspirations.

Based on that, come up with the heroes of your fictional "All-Heroic Comics" next - trying to make them distinctive.

The most curious I can think of is Ken Hite's "Adventures into Darkness", which is a fictional golden age comic series written by H.P. Lovecraft. It's a very clever take on Golden Age comics in an alternate timeline.
