Freedom phalanx TF/Trial

[Incursion]

OK, this one might be completely stupid, and I don’t even know if it’s possible. I do think it might be a lot of fun though and a good change of pace. After playing a mission as deadlock or whatever his name is in Kings Row last night, it was actually pretty cool to play a character in the story through their eyes. I would love to see some sort of trial, or task force, or maybe just a couple of missions where the player takes on the role of one of the iconic characters. Maybe it’s a 5 to 8 person task force where each player is randomly given a role at the start of the first mission, kind of like how temp powers are distributed to different players. I remember those events back in the day when the developers would play as their signature character, it was pretty cool seeing them out there. I think it would be even more fun to give them a spin. Maybe there’s a villain version and a hero version, just thinking off the top of my head here.

Handily, there's already an inbuilt narrative for an ambitious 8 person trial that could be setup as an additional Summer Blockbuster feature:

 

Alpha Team

In this new feature film, experience the thrilling tale of the Surviving Eight during the first Rikti War as they defend Paragon City from alien invaders and take down the Mothership, buying time for Omega Team to infiltrate the Rikti Portal. The ground team led by Back Alley Brawler focus on the streets saving the lives of civilians and taking out Rikti forces, while the flying team led by Statesman head into the mothership to strike it's core and bring it down.

Such highlights include witnessing Hero 1's wordless farewell to Statesman, Galaxy Girl's return from retirement and tragic defeat in Woodvale saving the life of Ms. Liberty, Sister Psyche falling into a coma due to overexertion and, before the invention of the MediCom network, the gruesome deaths of hundreds of heroes! Hmm... Maybe this isn't such a fun time 😭

 

In any case, it would be an opportunity to use the flying Rikti Mothership assets if they were ever developed and still exist, though I suspect they were mostly a fudge for promo screenshots.
