Thorizon) I do love pulp heroes.... and villains. Awhile back I posted Spider Smasher and promised to reveal his nemesis. Here he is... Count Nero. Nero is an old school Arachnos lieutenant when Arachnos was still in Italy. He was never down with Recluse's plans to take control of the organization and became an enemy of him. Recluse tried to get rid of Nero by shoving him into a mysterious portal they found and activated in ancient Roman ruins. Count Nero found himself in the modern world where he now plots Recluse's downfall. He has also discovered his old enemy, do-gooder Spider Smasher, has also somehow ended up in the modern world. Choices, choices... Count Nero is a Dark/Dark Defender on Indomitable. 17 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trike Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I've been adding to my roster of pulp characters, too. Most recently are Moon Vixen (Beam Rifle/Earth (or moon, in her case) Manipulation Blaster) and Space Buster (Warshade). I was looking for pictures of Wilma Deering from the Buck Rogers stories and associated with her photos are all these pulp covers and pinups of silly sexualized space girls whose skin is exposed to strange, clearly hostile planets or the vacuum of space. (Frequently the male astronauts were also wearing shorts, so I don't know what that was about.) One cover in particular had a female astronaut having an adventure in space helmet and bikini and I had to do a version of that. It makes zero sense and is completely hilarious. So I borrowed the sexist flavor from the back covers of my old Star Trek novelizations and voila: https://ibb.co/XkMjw6s https://ibb.co/KshQFtD 16 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other half is probably the shock of realizing some of the concepts and looks pitched have actually come true: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the default stance for using the Void Skiff travel power, which you can purchase at the Pay 2 Win (P2W) vendor on most CoH/CoV maps or the Transact to Win (T2W) vendor in Praetoria.

That's the Void Skiff travel power. You can find it at any P2W vendor under the prestige powers>travel>flight tabs. It costs a million inf to buy. Note: It's an "affect self" power and you can't use any attacks powers while using it. While it gets you around like any other flight power, it is purely cosmetic sadly.
