The game is simple!  (And not actually a game, honestly.  I just don't know what this thing is supposed to be a picture of.)

Choose an image from the https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Enhancement_Sets and ask the community:  "What the 'ell is That Thing!?"

 

I'll go first.

What the 'ell is That Thing!?

 

The rear axle of a cartoon car getting ready to go fast.

It's a fireball with a dark right hand grasping the top (you can only see the thumb and pointer finger), to go with the name "Dominating Grasp".

Here's one:

What the 'ell is that thing!?
Is it a keystone? A fortress of some kind?  A big concrete block?  I can get most of these, but this one confuses me.

 

A titanium ingot.

Hmm looks like “concrete shoes” the Family might use. You can see the leg holes in the top... 😛

I will admit the first time I saw that, I thought it looked like a wilted grenade.

Always reminds me of Armored Armadillo from Megaman X.

A skeleton playing the trumpet. Not entirely sure what the thing on his back is.

 

(Didn't see there were two pages/Frostbiter's reply when I answered.)

Grim Reaper announcing the apocalypse.  Looks more like a tattoo for a lady, like a tramp stamp

Fairly sure Kinetic Combat is a person doing a high kick.  No idea for Ragnarok, though....

 

What is this supposed to be?

This is clearly a peeled banana and no amount of time in psychotherapy is going to make me change my mind.

I thought it was an armored metallic earthworm bursting from the ground like a sandworm from Dune...

The first line of the song is "Give me a home where the buffalo roam."

 

Welp, I feel stupid now.  🤪  I glossed right over that line and went for the antelope.   Weird, 'cause I love buffalo...especially with cheese, mayo, ketchup, and a fresh-from-the-oven bun.

I don't think I see it, sorry @Frostbiter.  Do you maybe have a reference photo that looks more similar to what you're describing?

It's a chinese knot, like a luck charm.

 

This sort of thing.

 

...Or maybe a hula dancer with no arms.

I will never be able to unsee that cursed image, but GSFC's icon is just a toggle switch with the red cover flipped up.

 

 

Which always makes me think of my favorite part of Red October.

That is what I always thought it was only I thought she had her arms crossed like you did something wrong and were in trouble...
