Well as folks have pointed out, it is apparently so easy that anyone could do it and not doing so is tantamount to neglect - so by that logic it must be fair to also assume that there is a good reason it hasn't been done.
I'd wager the Homecoming developer team are taking some well deserved time off after dropping two pages so close together. Or real life got in the way of things.
I'd have to look at the XP tables, but I'm sure a Level 1 getting a +4 AV defeat would suffice to reach Level 3. Otherwise it's going to take multiple events (already at 99% full bar, AV defeat, mission complete, task force complete, double xp, Day Job XP bonus) something like that.
Yeah this is a thing @CR Americas Angel
Grab pet, move to other pet spawn, log out, log back in, click pet, move to third spawn, log out, log back in, click pet and assuming all pet spawns were available you'll have three pet heavies.
I saw this and I was like, holy cow he's still alive? Wasn't he canonically born in the 19th century?
Did he get resurrected? Is that a plot point? Where is Mutt? Where is his wife Mary? Where are the aliens and crystal skull? Ah I'm already thinking too much! It's a popcorn flick, I'll watch it and enjoy the classic score!
I'm getting them from my first post, which you quoted, where I imagined what the power set could look like. Masterminds have henchmen, henchmen buffs, and the three individual attacks. I took the original concept and thought there would be duplicating powers involved, which seems pretty fair considering the topic. So instead of henchmen of a particular theme being summoned, it's your character - and if you've ever read or watched any kind of entertainment product with a character who has the power to duplicate themselves, there is almost always a scene where they do so in great quantity and the crowd of duplicates become a mob (similar to Gang War).
No, because in the Gang War example, that's 8 MMs x n (where n equals the number of pet spawns from the power(.
If body duplicates was the powerset, there would be (at a minimum) 8 MMs x n x 9 (other powers in the set that each MM could use).
Similar to Gang War, I could see attacks in a powerset like that. Only concern is what happens when 8 MMs team up, or even a league of them all with the same powerset?
