Six-Six

Naming my characters is one of the hardest part, but one that I can go back to later. I usually have a concept, a back story, and a costume in mind, and hopefully a name that hasn't been taken. For me, the playability of a toon is the combination of its power set, costume design and name. If one of those things is off, I just delete and start over. I usually start off with some pretentious emo name like Destroyer of Worlds type or the typical color + talent or noun. But later I change them to names that make me smile and say "yup, today's a good day to be a hero" =). Funny enough, I have a character with a power set and costume that I really liked. But I just couldn't think of a worthy name. So I named it Six-Six (because it was the 66th alt I was working on). Somehow, the name grew on me and he's my favourite toon to date.

No powers, just mode of travel. I think a huge chunk of the game is designing your toons. I've spent hours on end designing costumes. I wouldn't mind thinking up some rides like need for speed car dress up. I came up with the thought because I found it funny that our superheroes get around the cities using trains. And EggKookoo, I suppose that would suck. The devs would have to utilise the parking lot in front of Ms Liberty. You'd have to put in extra effort to look for parking space like in real life =).

I know the Ninja Run and Flight is way cool, but wouldn't it be awesome if there were motorcycles or super-mobiles? They don't have to be powered, just flashy. =) I have a dual pistol biker who could really use a bike, and I'm sure there are a lot out there who wouldn't mind their version of the 60's top-down batmobile. Supergroups can have an Owl ship (Watchmen) or a justice league javelin.
