I saw "Fate" online today and started looking at variations. I was surprised that Mr Fate and Mr. Fate are not taken. I ended up with Lady Fate, but I'm not sure if I'll keep it. If I can't find a good concept and look I'll probably just release that as well.

I think a "huntsman" really is just a word the original dev team came up with because they thought it sounded cool. A huntsman is an advanced Arachnos soldier. Almost like a special forces soldier, he's not an ordinary grunt. However he's also not the heavily cybernetic Crab or the Fortunata. He's still a regular person, just well trained, and wearing power armor and using equipment (the guns, grenades, and the maces) rather than something more exotic. Basically a huntsman is anything you want, it's your story. But they should be "regular" if high ranking soldiers with special equipment, rather than "powers."

Ah, right. Yeah the Incarnate level drops on live were pretty sparse, esp in the beginning. You had to do a lot of content just to get a few of those drops, and they were totally random. I guess I was thinking of later, when threads were more available and you could at least reasonably side grade a lot of stuff.

Was that Incarnate, or just the early Task Forces? A Task Force like Faathim or Numina were big time wasters and had you travel all over just to pad out the content. But that's not Incarnate. I find the Incarnate TFs and the LFG queue to be at least decently convenient and relatively compact. I'm not sure, maybe you were referring to something else.

Super intelligent gorillas are a staple of the silver age. And how does one fight a super intelligent gorilla? That's right! Sharks!

... Yeah that seems legit.

What the power set really needs is a cool travel power. Something that just really screams silver age comic. Something that shows off how awesome the Silver Age was. Something that even a god would use. Something like... ...Space Skis (That's Black Racer btw, invented by Jack Kirby in 1971. Because of course Kirby is going to decide that the way to travel through space is on a pair of skis, complete with ski polls.)

I want whatever the heck power this is.

Blaster would probably be my first choice, with the power-up being whatever you like. Energy Blast probably being my first option for powers. An actual henshin would be also my first thought, with a full new set of clothing or armored gear, but I'm sure there's other ideas too. I also have a Titan Weapon brute with power armor who "powers up" for fights. And I have a more classic brute, a large green man (Atomic Bulk, don't generic me!) who also "powers up" and loses half his clothing in the process. I do have a Sent who powers up. He's a riff on an old doll, Captain Action, who came with a variety of gear and face masks to let him look like a number of other superheroes. My character wears disguises, to confuse and prey on the superstitions of his enemies. It's a weird schtick but it's actually fun to play around with deliberately different costumes rather than clustering around a theme.

This for me also. I often try to "do content" and read the text blocks and such, to try to get a sense of how the game was meant to be understood by the developers. Too often doing content in teams simply means smashing your way through large spawns until you get to the end.

Mighty Mighty -- idea stolen from chat and from The Commodores' song lyrics ("she's a brick house, she's mighty mighty") about an attractive woman. Stone/Fire tanker, at least the concept makes me smile and gives me some incentive to put up with the poo rocks, I've never played a Stone anything before.

And Sombre is French for "dark." (I dunno if anyone has it tho.) I was looking for other French names and found this list of Gothy names, some seem like good ones. I was thinking you could combine these with something else. "Sombre Branwen" for example. https://blackrose.co.uk/blog/the-ultimate-a-z-of-gothic-names/ Adrienne – French name that also stands for ‘the dark one’ Branwen – Representative for ‘beautiful raven’ Calliope – ‘Beautiful voice’ and the ‘muse of poetry’ Eris – After the Greek goddess of discord etc.

Released Valiant Maiden

Have I posted here yet? Not sure. Anyway, yes, old Champion player here, lots of Tanker Tuesday. Edit: actually I have posted on this thread, I just needed to scroll back 3 years!

We sort of have that. There's Agent Watkins in Steel Canyon, whose arc is various factions of Vahz picking up (and fighting each other) after Dr Vahz is vanquished. Also in Sharkhead, Doc Buzzsaw has decamped Paragon City and is now offering re-builds for Freakshow (tho she's got "plans"). More Vahz wouldn't be bad, but Agent Watkins' arc establishes that the aftermath of Dr. Vahz's defeat was kind of anarchy, and not really a new organized movement. Or at least that's how I felt things went.
