LOL, must be a blue moon. Yeah, I composed, posted, then looked up. DOH!

👆 What Cutter said above. Apparently I got here a wee bit late. 😉

Just ask Nick Fury.

Episode 3:

I'm enjoying the creativity, and look forward to the outcome, but I'm going to skip participation in this one. My personal creativity failed me when I saw the color scheme. All I could think of was cheap, waxpaper-wrapped Halloween candy. Well, that or Reeses products. It...it may have something to do with this new sugar-free diet I'm on. Not sure.

I shall have to consider this with CoH. My friends and I already do this at our occasional Halo game nights. Not owning an Xbox with which to practice, I am the least dangerous among them, and jokingly go by the name "Gandhi". Another uses the handle "A Small Child". The game obliges us with statements like "A Small Child killed Gandhi", or occasionally "Gandhi killed A Small Child".

Ah, now I understand why the Tenth Doctor could snap his fingers and the Tardis opened.

What happens at those levels, Troo? Does it just show advancement? or is there some reward? I'd have thought ever last corner of the Incarnate build window might be filled out by then.

Might this fare better in the Suggestions forum? I do hear ya. It would be interesting to have a look that said "ghost" or "phased person". While that may be some time in coming, I'd note that some have achieved a similar effect using some of the various "fog" powers that offer a stealth or invisibility element to them.

I agree with you, however, I would note that there's actually lore to support the idea that your character is constantly growing in power for millenia: the first Incarnate mission where you get to play that finally version of your character, undamageable and unstoppable by a host of the mightiest opponents. So I think the real answer...and as always this is pie-in-the-sky wishing at this point...is to have both. Allow progress, but slower, as keeping with the lore's idea of a very long time, and have a greater body of material in which Incarnates feel challenged.

There's a few dual pistols where the colors matter. For example the retro-future space pistols with energy rings around them. Those color quite nicely.

One thing he didn't cover was how popular the release of the catchy "...All Along" song was (deliberately vague title reference in case anyone hasn't seen it yet). He mentions the release, but not that it hit the top of the charts. Crazy.

I was discussing some of that with a coworker today. Marvel, in both comics and animated works tends to go overboard, or without restraint, when they hit "phenomenal cosmic power" levels. To me, it feels like they don't understand the storytelling power of limitations and restraints. It's one of the reasons I enjoy Fantastic Four stories less than others: the FF stories tend to hit the cosmic power level far more than stories in the Marvel house. WandaVision came close, though I don't think it quite tipped the scale.

Screen Rant's Pitch Meeting burned the midnight oil to turn out their Pitch Meeting for WandaVision a short time after the series conclusion. Their mocking of our collective fan theories is a hoot.

Wow, I'd seen the scene, but somehow missed that line. Guess I thought it a throw-away. It doesn't really answer my question, but at least it tells me other "people" within the MCU storyline are asking the same question, and that someone high above has an answer.

Thanks, everyone (so far)! That's far more in one spot than I've found anywhere else. If any others wish to contribute, I'm all ears.

Well, it's really "pie in the sky" kind of wishing, but I'd be wishing all ignored and under-utilized zones would receive the "Faultline" treatment, in hopes that they become desirable locations to level again, preferably for incarnate-level activity.

The only thing I am aware of that I'd want from another emulation of CoH would be that Illusion Controller costume option to give each illusion pet it's own unique look. I am, however, also happy that Homecoming gave us the mirroring effect on illusions pets. If there's some reason for me to personally try out a different emulation, I've yet to hear of it.

Now you have me intrigued. If you've not already, will you post the backstory in the designated backstories thread?

That look is so stereotyped. As an American I can assure those elsewhere that we don't look like that. We've not used shoulder pads since the 1980s.

True, but if you're thinking of anything within the MCU TV shows, Feige more or less cut the TV shows loose and had nothing further to do with them. So essentially he made several of them alternate universes by that decision (though not formally stated as such). There's also the (admittedly thin) possibility that the Darkhold appears as more than one copy in a single universe.

Well true, but to be fair, not all the hype was spun by Disney/Marvel, so they can't be fully blamed. And in addition WandaVision gave us:

I've spent some time searching the web for a compiled list of all knockback protection options, and have yet to find one. Perhaps my search-fu is on vacation, though given that people refer to it in different ways ("knockback protection", "KB protection", "KB prot", etc.) the search engine might not be able to keep up. Is there a master list somewhere, and if not, can y'all contribute to one here, please? I'd also like to which options are available before level 21. I'm currently only aware of Acrobatics at 14.

Well, they ruined many of my ideas, but that's half the fun. A few observations in wrap-up:
