Erratic1 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Ultraman! Takes me back to my late-60s/early 70s youth. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my Ultrawoman, I did Energy Blast / Atomic Manipulation. If only we had an equivalent to the “Energy Sawblade” OG Ultraman had, but overall it’s pretty close.

Looks like I have 22 total, most of them just minor variations, but they were all based on an Ultraman/Ultrawoman costume I found online, whether from TV series or comics. Only 19 are here, but the others aren't much different. My head canon is now that Trike has about 22 variations of any given concept ready to dish out at a moment's notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Racer/Ultraman/Hercules/Simba the White Lion here. I am pretty sure I would watch original Ultraman even now but perhaps that is nostalgia speaking. The updated versions along way seemed to really lack something by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This being a male-specific helmet is one of the unsolved mysteries of City of Heroes, along with the renegade hat. I understand gender norming, but who was like: "That helmet is clearly a boy helmet". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was ported from a male only enemy group I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the renegade hat was probably to offset a lot of female options that were given during the same patch. But damn, having a Carmen Sandiego-style fedora could be useful for a number of my costumes.

I’ve tried to watch the new Ultraman anime but I can’t get into them. Pushing 60 does that. I *have* gone down the rabbit hole of watching Ultraman compilation videos on YouTube. The franchise has really expanded since 1974. 😛 It’s smart from a business perspective that they ultimately went with creating specific toys to enable the transformation into the various ultras, but I’m kind of sad that kids today can’t just grab a pen and click their way into being a 60-foot space robot the way we could. (Also smart: not having the new Ultras transform while INSIDE BUILDINGS. What was that about?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal_General Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Most of the Ultras seem to only use their energy attacks as a ranged finisher except for the one who would catch on fire and run and tackle the monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's the Metallic 2 Face option. Re-made it to double check, but I use it on my main - would recognize that particular sheen anywhere. xD 1 Global is @El D, Everlasting Player, Recovering Altaholic.
