Scarlet Shocker

Exactly. It would be much better explained as "when the sidekick gets the cape" - you've done the hard yards, you're as good as your mentors (ie the Signature NPCs on whatever side you're on) and they have nothing else to teach you. But now there's an event that needs all your skill and bravery - and a lot of team mates too - to resolve. Now you're as good as you can be it's up to you to develop new skills, learn new moves, create new powers to be the best you can be. Have at it, and go save the City!"

Mine is the Well of the Furies. I junk that shit. The Menders are just hippies on some trip. The real power is from within the character, not some external thing that "lends" you its power because you're already tough. I truly loathe that episode and it came close to ruining the game for me because it's so poorly told and such a feeble plot line so in my own head it's irrelevant and I do my own thang

Balls!

Perhaps this is the wrong question. Let's refine it You decide on the toon you're going to keep. Because that's relatively easy. It's your "favourite" (insert reason why it's your favourite here... ) Get rid of it. Which non-fave toon do you retain over all of them?

Scarlet Shocker keeps.... Scarlet Shocker Well that was challenging.

Isn't that what the comicbook character was? Ok this is a different version of her, packing a lot of fear and an horrendous childhood into the mix - giving her some real depth. She wasn't simply psycho, she was pretty broken.

I can't wait til the Devs release this as a secondary power set! Probably for outta Controllers to begin with, followed maybe by Stalkers

Technically it's "Photographic reflexes" so he can mimic any move, whoever might pull them off, but he's been through a few different iterations and has evolved somewhat but it seems he can do anything that whoever he's up against can do.

Not to mention Gill Strike and Tail Slap

They did her great for that series and it worked great. She had a great role and was central to the plots of several seasons.

Taskmaster That's literally his skill.

Who gets to decide? I think skill is a relative metric. Truthfully I don't actually care so long as I am skilled enough to complete the relevant task set and enjoy the game.

I see a lot of threads about stuff but never a general discussion

I bought myself a new Legolas amplifier the other day. It goes up to elven

One thing we've not really covered in this thread (at least my cursory inspection of some posts give me that impression) is that IOs (and doubly so for invention sets) create a whole new reason to play a character. That in itself was great for the game, players and characters. Whereas previous to IOs, often people would roll a character, play to 50, fill it with SOs, complain about ED, respec it properly, shelve it and move on to the next. With IOs and inventions it gave characters a new lease of life and a life beyond simply reaching level 50. That in turn added a lot of new dimensions to the game which by definition rebalances (but not unbalances) it

Your blind friend, the one with the white stick? I think he's seen them already.

KM is one of the few melee sets I love. It is slow, and perhaps it doesn't pump out damage that some sets do, but it does give the impression of doing serious thumpage. I love the look and feel of it on my tank, even if I'm not an expert on tank attacks.

"show me on the naked superhero where the vidiotmaps touched you..."

I don't know how you play so I'm not aiming this specifically at you, but it could well be that you are one of the more below averagely skilled players (for the record that's also where I am) That doesn't mean the game isn't too easy, it probably is for the majority of players. That said, "easy" is a very relative term and difficult to evaluate easily [sic] but I do feel that we are often spoon fed many of the goodies on Score and HC that were challenging to obtain before. It bugs me a bit, but as others have explained very eloquently there are reasons! and I totally understand them To a large extent this is "you can please some of the people some of the time..." Bottom line is I'd much rather have this game as is, than not at all.

oooh... so can we change sounds per character?

Now that sounds like the mod to own them all! Anything I desire... anything at all? /em eyebrow wiggle and moustache twirl

I've never really used mods so this raises a couple of questions. As it stands those clips would annoy the living daylights out of me, though I respect the intention of the OP/Modder If you mod something like the sounds, would those sounds be heard by every PC in that encounter, or simply the person who's modded the files? Can those sound clips be changed by players? Personally I fancy a bit of Coltrane or Davis and maybe a bit of Ornette Coleman or Charles Mingus for the higher damaging powers 🎶
