Invincible Season 3 has begun! SPOILERS

[Voltor]

First 3 eps are up on Amazon.

 

So, the CoH equivalent of a Viltrumite.......I'm thinking  Super Strength, Willpower Brute 

 

Viltrumites are rugged and tough but can be hurt, but they heal up from injuries that would take down a normal person.  They can also be single minded and vicious in battle, so that would mean perma charged rage and an easily maxed out fury bar.

So is no one watching this?  This season is knocking it out of the park

 

Also Michael Dorn aka Worf from TNG is having too much fun with his character 🙂

Glad you posted this, haven't been keeping up. First two seasons were my idea of a good time.

Enjoying the season so far. Pretty dialog heavy, not much action as far at I've seen. Excited for the multi....marks though!

I think the next 2 eps will satisfy the need for action. 🙂

Agreed! I'd list all the awesome things, but it'd just be a couple paragraphs of spoiler tags.

[Demobot]

Holy crap. That was definitely the best episode of the season so far, maybe of the whole dang show. This season has been a little uneven up to this point, but this more than made up for any criticisms I've had. 

[Voltor]

Just wait until next week's season finale!

[Voltor]

I just had an idea for how they could create a small squadron  of heroes to help against things like multiple Invincibles and the impending Viltrumite invasion

 

I have read the comics (the art at times......eeesh) but anyway what they could do is this:

 

1. I suspect Rudy/Robot thoroughly monitored and recorded the Maulers cloning process and mind copy/paste process

 

2. We get some blood from Invincible and then make say........5 clones.   However instead of Mark's mind being transferred into them and thus having the whole clone/original conflict of the Maulers, they could take the heroes that were critically injured and copy/paste their minds into the clone bodies.  The original will perish just like it was with Rudy/Robot  and the world gets new heroes.    Modify the costume and appearance of them so they aren't impersonating Invincible, of course.    Or in lieu of critically injured and dying heroes I am sure there are plenty of soldiers critically wounded and dying from the Invincible War that could be copy/pasted into a clone body of Invincible. 

 

If I were Cecil I would have to seriously consider this plan as I would be in charge of defending Earth and would need weapons/soldiers to do so.

[Voltor]

Well ep 7 compressed the Invincible War a bit, so I do hope they do an animated movie that really shows the war but the season finale in ep 8 was awesome.

I have already started working on my new characters. XD
The mark one is a bit odd since there isn't a perfect pattern for his torso. You can see this better on the sinister mark variant I feel like either horns(4th one), peak(3d), stripe 2 (1st one) or stripe 4(2nd) suit him best. I like the 1st one most of the options let me know which one is your favourite. If u have better version or you want to download my sets please let me know.

Wanted to add more things

Funniest line in the fight for me: "Take a break while I focus on the boy!" then backhands Invincible into a building

Yep the episode is a near mirror exact copy of the comics. 

 

And Invincible gets a nice reward at the end.

Tactical error on Eve's part in the fight:  when she increased the air density she should have them formed a tungsten steel cube around Conquest plus an energy force field.

 

Yes Viltrumites can hold their breath for a long time, but dense air is not that healthy to breathe and there wouldn't be much for him to breathe. If she could have maintained that double layer cage, she could have stopped him.

 

Still this shows that Mark and especially Eve are the two first, best, last and only hope on Earth against the Viltrumites.  But they are not enough.   Mark has upgraded and trained but he is still a baby Viltrumite in terms of power differential between him and the others. Also they have more experience in battle and Mark for some time now has held back considerable amounts of his might.....except for when he was on Thraxa and just now in this episode. 

 

Since the cartoon is following the comic lore rather well, this won't happen but still....Mark needs to talk to Cecil and Robot about making a gravity chamber where he can have the gravity increased to levels greater then Earth.  Once he acan move easily in the increased gravity they then increase it more and more, as much as the chamber can increase it.  By moving in that gravity until he can move as easily as he can in normal Earth gravity and by lifting weights in that gravity, to say he would have muscles like iron would be an understatement.  His power levels in normal gravity on Earth would be greatly increased and so would his speed. 

 

Also loved the HULK reference in the fight "Getting mad doesn't make you stronger! That's NOT how it works!"

I'm nearly done on season 2. Got 2 episodes left. Looking forward to season 3. I may be wrong, but they do seem to have dialled down the ultraviolence somewhat. It's still there, and sometimes it's brutal like the fight with Alan, but a lot of it seems to cut away quickly rather than show it in it's full gory glory.

Budget constraints probably.  I think you will be happy with Season 3 🙂

What he means is that your costumes go against the Terms of Service for this game and Crumpet is the one that usually "generics" a costume ingame. IE: You'll log in and all of those costumes will just be the plain tights with a monochrome color. In short, he gave you a friendly warning to not use those ingame.

Wait so you cant create lookalikes in this game or is there a way to bypass this?

Homecoming's Code of Conduct Copyright Policy is pretty direct. You cannot use any outside IP. There is the 'without permission' catch, but I assume that accounts for both the permission of the IP holder and the permission of the Homecoming team, and HC's policy is pretty much a blanket 'don't do that.'

 

So you can't run around as 'Conquest the Viltrumite' in-game - which, thank god, because Paragon doesn't deserve the Viltrum Empire inflicted on them (not that they'd last long against CoH-style debuffs and a few Warburg nukes). If you wanted to make up your own violent alien society inspired by the Viltrumites, that's allowed. They just can't use the same names or copy the character design/background. Alien overlord in a bodysuit with facial hair and a robot arm is okay. Alien overlord in white spandex with a mustache, scars, and a gold robot arm, not so much.

 

Also, to echo everyone else about Season 3, it definitely kicks things back up after Season 2. The finale fight was absolutely worth the budget focus and gives me hope they'll be provided more money in the future (those poor animators).
