Incorrect. You cannot trademark common words, as in anything found in the dictionary. So despite DC having a character named Firestorm, they don't own a trademark for the name... just his likeness. "Phantom," "ghost," and "captain" are all common words recognized as public domain and thus cannot be trademarked. Trademarking words can be anything made up (I know, they're all made up). If a slang word does not appear in a recognized published source of common words, such as a dictionary, it could very well be fair game. This is why Superman is one word instead of two. "Super" and "Man" are both common words, but "Superman" is a made up word by jamming two words together into one, and thus trademarkable and off limits.

Just playing around with names on Torch and I discovered that Holo Hobo is available... in case anyone wants to make a homeless illusion controller.

You might not get to keep it because DC owns this guy:

He's a spines/fire brute... and "Math" because of all the bodies that add up. And yes, of course he's ebil.

Some names that I am surprised I got on Torchbearer: Asset Diversity Evil Incarnate Exploiter Fortitude Grab Kicks Math Painmaster Right Safe Skyhunter Teflon Thoughtstorm Unbeatable Urge Voluptuous White Hot

Some names I was surprised to get when I started playing on Excelsior, although now my friends play on Torch and I can't move them over because they're already taken: Battle Babe Beat Blixt Blood Mage Bricks Cheater Crafter Crazy Train Dervish Destined One Expert F-Bomb First Flood Glory Hammer Headstrong Hotness Legendary Mighty One Omnipotence Origin Pact Peerless Poledancer Spine Struggle Sunder Superstition Upgrade Violence Windbreaker If you have any of the highlighted ones on Torch and want to move to Excelsior, I'd be happy to trade. The ones that aren't highlighted I ended up making different versions of on Torch or just stopped playing for now but haven't quite given up on, so apologies but they haven't been released back into the pool yet. Could be open for negotiation, however, if I need to sweeten the pot on on of the highlighted names.

Here's an idea I had back in Spring, looking ahead to Independence Day... but never go around to making her because I didn't know what AT and power sets to go with.

Clever. I like it.

My new peacebringer... I have no idea what to call her yet. I'll take suggestions for names...

Poison Priestess Poison/Water Defender

Lemon Aid Empathy / Water Defender

Shpadoinkle

Bar Maiden rules.

And here's my last commission of Windy... the super-sexy too-hot-for-this-forum pin up special by DA artist DaggerPoint: Censored... obviously. Sorry. A slightly less censored version can be found here: https://www.deviantart.com/daggerpoint/art/COMMISSION-DANGER-ZONE-852379292

I really enjoy the origin powers at low levels and wish they could remain somewhat relevant as I level up. Even if they're inferior like Brawl is compared to other attacks, you can at least slot Brawl and make it a little better.

It is still summertime. I can always add a winter variant in one of the 10 costume slots. 😁

I did. So here they are again:

Some costume ideas I've been toying with but haven't assigned to any character yet...

Another rendition of Windy, this time from artist John Becaro:

Quoted to show comparison... I had the piece below commissioned by Phil Cho, another artist I found on DeviantArt:

I've gone the Hollywood stunt double route... My movie star blaster has her own tanker stunt double for those tough scenes.

Marvel has a character called Ultragirl who started out thinking she was a mutant but then learned she was actually an alien (mutant Kree).

Seconded. Also, I saw someone suggest some kind of custom map editor. I would be all for this. Even if it were limited in size to what SG bases can be... It would be nice to be able to select a specific type of map (warehouse, office, etc) and then drop down rooms of content with the ability to add specific set dressing. Additionally, I would like to be able to assign a specific existing temp power to the mission boss to be able to make them a little more unique.
