This article is a collection of generic milestones, inspired by various characters in Marvel comics. The goal is to offer a list for players to grab from that either drives roleplaying in a new direction, or fills a space when no other Milestones seems to fit a character at the moment. If people enjoy this article and find it useful, we will add more in the future, perhaps with player xp unlocks to go with the Milestones.
