  1. It's risky. If he doesn't take off the mask, people are going to ask why his casting was such a big deal. If he does, regardless of how it plays out in the film(s), there's a lot of potential for it to backfire in their faces. But simply casting him has all but guaranteed that at least one of the relevant films is going to break records. People are going to flock to theaters to see whether they brought him back as Alternative Universe Stark, or just Doctor Doom. They might start riots and form lynch mobs afterward, but you know they're going to see at least one film. My theory is that they're not banking on Downey, they're banking on the Russo brothers. If they can pull off another Winter Soldier/Infinity War/Endgame, who plays Doom won't matter. That's what they're hoping for, Downey getting people through the door, the Russos gluing their asses to the seats.
  2. If I have to listen to one more bad accent from Tom Hardy... Jackie Earl Haley would make a perfect Doom. But I'd rather see him as Lex Luthor.
  3. Eh. I would've gone with Karl Urban. Dredd proved that he has the talent to deliver a compelling performance without showing his face.
  4. Mulching is done after planting. It's the final layer, not the first.
  5. There was. Per Wikipedia: "In What If: Iron Man: Demon in an Armor, Tony Stark is Doom's college roommate rather than Reed Richards, inspiring Doom to develop a machine that allows him to transfer his mind into Stark's body while leaving Stark trapped in his body with no memory of his past. While Doom uses Stark's connections and company to establish himself, the amnesic Stark- believing himself to be Doom- works to rebuild his life, creating his own company and forming his own reputation from the ground up. This culminates in a confrontation between the two wearing early versions of their respective armors- Doom having developed a green-and-silver Iron Man armor while Stark has created Doom's costume with gold and a red cloak-, during which Doom reveals the truth about their switch, only for Stark to reject the offer to switch back because Doom has destroyed the name of Tony Stark while Doctor von Doom has developed an honorable reputation."
  6. The default animation for Tide Pool is... pissing your pants?
  7. There's a bug which causes stored items, like those stacks of salvage, to list instead of the item you click. Based on the fee charged, that's likely what happened. Check the Selling tab.
  8. It's done in about a dozen missions. When you start playing, you'll find them.
  9. Do you have some evidence indicating that the teleport was added accidentally, and mistakenly left in through several beta updates and completely unnoticed despite every tester commenting on it? This should be fascinating.
  10. It does have a target. You. When you activate a PBAoE, the power checks the target (you), verifies that you're not in a defeated state, and proceeds to the hit roll phase. That's how PBAoEs work in this game, and they work that way so the AoE is always centered on your character. That's what makes them Point Blank Area of Effect powers.
  11. Rumor is that it also takes a pair of hippo balls.
  12. GrantPower PBAoE Confuse (excludes main target), Taunt (main target only).
  13. I asked you not to share my secret cake recipe. Your betrayal will not be forgotten.
  14. Condensed, you're requesting free-form power selection and a combo system to complement it. In other words, Champions Online. But you apparently don't want to play Champions Online, because you're here, asking for this game to be turned into Champions Online... so you can play Champions Online... without playing Champions Online...
  15. Act of war! Soldiers, to me! FORM UP! LOAD WEAPONS! WE MARCH IMMEDIATELY! Also... where did you get a gun that shoots fingers? 😏
  16. https://www.bet.com/article/tm669y/woman-loses-eye-after-glitter-gets-stuck-inside Anything's a deadly weapon in the wrong hands.

  18. Interruptible powers are already interrupted by any source of damage, healing, change in position (Knock, movement, being teleported), and even powers which don't do any of those things, such as Disruption Arrow. In order to make this work as a unique set-specific gimmick, several thousand NPC powers would have to be altered. That pistol shot the Hellion uses when his purse-snatching goes awry isn't Interruptible, for example, so a special Interrupt would have to be added, the animation extended to create an Interruptible period, and said animation and Interrupt set to only appear when fighting a player character using that new blast set (because simply making all NPC attacks Interruptible would be stupidly broken, so easy to leverage that it'd be unlikely that any NPC ever used an attack again for the entirety of the game's life). Simply adding a brief Interrupt window to each of those thousands of powers and setting it to only respond to this set's special mechanic would work, but it would also significantly impact NPC performance, as all of their attacks would be slower and less of a threat to all other sets and player characters. The end result would be a pile of power creep, just to create a space where this set could exist. So the developers could do it, with a few thousand person-hours and basically trashing the balance points of the game... or you could just play a */Radiation Assault dominator, which is essentially what you described plus melee attacks. Blast sets don't get pets.
  19. There are badges for following? Stalker mode activated.
  20. They considered doing that. An animal rights group filed a lawsuit to stop them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippopotamuses_in_Colombia
