After reading this thread, I thought it would be fun to start up a campaign like the one Michael VonHasseln was talking about. Simply put, make a character blatantly based off a well known movie, video game, TV, or comic book hero using stuff from the CRB, APG, UC, and UM, and play a campaign with no seriousness what so ever. Just screw around and have fun with it.
At the moment, I'm gauging interest, so I do not have any character creation details up. If enough people show interest, I will work those details out.
Going to bed for the night. Will check back in the morning and answer any and all questions and work out further details then.
Will really overdone cliche's be viable too?

Chaotic Good dual-scimitar-wielding Drow elf ranger for me please :)
Either that or an emo fairy boy with an attitude problem wielding a huge sword that is so not overcompensating for something.
Hmmm, off the top of my head ...
A half-orc or orc barbarian with max possible strength who is green, red or gray skinned and Beast Totem to attack bare handed (perhaps with a feat to change colors as you yell SMASH!)
Human monk/martial artist who takes the Fleet feat twice at first level and dresses all in red (say hello to the Flash)
Any archer build for Hawkeye, Robin Hood, Green Arrow, Red Arrow, etc.
A ninja with sword who covers his whole burnt body in clothing (hey there Deadpool).
Cavalier (Shining Night)
Batman (gestalt)
Tiefling gunslinger/magus (Dante)
Damphyr with prestidigitation to sparkle (Twilight)
Damphyr ranger who favored enemy undead (Blade)
Anyone wearing a mask
Summoner equals Pokemon
The thief who steals everything that isn't nailed down
Alchemist for Dr. and Mr. Hyde
Hmm...Tempted to make a Titan Mauler Barbarian and duel wield Flying Blades, maybe with the firey enchantment.
I wanna make Captain Andoran.
I knew someone would. Go ahead.
The one thing I have to ask is no Pathfinderizing heroes from Medieval tech level stories. The idea of this campaign is to have fun taking video game characters who shouldn't really belong here in a Medieval setting and recreating them with Medieval rules.

I'll allow this. Kratos is Greek, not Medieval, so the ban on Medieval inspired characters doesn't apply to him.

Which are your favorites?
I already have a Pathfinderized comic book supervillain ready for our first encounter ^_^.

Depends on the cliche. I'd really prefer popular characters, though.
Can I play a mute gunslinger with Quick Draw, a bag of holding and every firearm available in the manual? I would like to play the Marine from Doom.
Planar Preservation Alchemist equals Pokemon
Fixed that for you. ;)
I'll have to think about making a character for this.
What's the starting level going to be on this?

The Gunslinger doesn't really seem to fit that well, but I guess you could try to make it work.

What do you mean, it doesn't fit? It uses guns.

I always saw the Gunslinger as a Wild West thing and Doomguy as a tank. I'm not saying don't do it, I was just making a comment. If you want to try it out, go ahead.
Maybe I should make that Barbarian a Locathah. And be the Cod of War >>
@ Woody: That is okay.
@ Seagull: I am willing to allow that.
An oracle of life with the tongues curse who can only talk in technobabble during combat. "I'm getting some funny readings from that horrible ooze melting your spine." He cares more about emotions than logic.
"I'm a doctor, not a dungeon delver!"
Dr. McCoy, of course, but this could be any medical officer from Star Trek.
"I'm a doctor, not a dungeon delver!"
LOL.
Is it bad form to tell the players what the enemy is before the game if I am bursting to say what I came up with? The comic book villain I chose Pathfinderizes incredibly easily. The perfect class and prestige class are right there in the core rules.
OK, I'm starting to warm up to this McCoy idea for a life oracle. I'll have to think about a name and avatar picture.
Here's a little bit of what I was thinking in terms of his "technobabble."
I could also see playing a Deadpool fellow who keeps breaking the fourth wall by commenting on his dice rolls.
I support a Deadpool character 110%

@Andorra: What do you think...
Gunslinger/Cavalier w/ "reskinned" Dog AC as mount (and Boon Companion feat)
or
Gunslinger w/ Leadership and Giant Creature quadrupedal and mute Soulbound Doll as Cohort?
I prefer the first one, Woody, I also support a metagaming Deadpool character, I like the McCoy's spells, and I found the Doom Marine's post amusing.

Okay, Captain Indecisive here. Now I'm starting to wonder if I should put another level of abstraction in, and just be Human Gunslinger/Cavalier. (I.E. base my character on what the character of Woody in the movie is supposed to be a character of.) It would fit the avatar image better, and be simpler and perhaps easier to play.
Of course, then, I almost may as well just get a Shoanti brave Cohort named Tonto... 8^)
Any preferences?

have you checked the profile
@ Woody: Whatever you feel is best
@ Ozy: Hellboy would be cool.

Yes. It works fine.
Hmmm...a Bandit Rogue wielding a gun as Han Solo would be interesting.

It would.

Oh, yes. Jedi be AWESOME.
Yeah, I figured somebody had to go there. It's a classic "build somebody from a movie" trope. 8^)
@Joshua: Sorry if this steps on you schtick. I have actually had this planned for a few days, just needed to work up the stats.
Great concept!
Im thinking a Ninja/Sorcerer with the Frost Bloodline - ala Sub-Zero.
Jedi Luke and Doom Marine are accepted. Does McCoy have a profile up?

Just made a slight tweak to my weapon to make it work with the build (and concept) a bit better. (Pending approval, of course.)
Rapier is fine.
We start once we have two more people.
