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).

Oh thanks to everyone for letting me know this. It's kinda sad that you cant recreate the invicible war tho.

So in City of Heroes power terminology, having rewatched Season 1 thru 3 a few times, especially the Season 1 and 3 finale fights,  I would say that in the game a Viltrumite would be in terms of AT and powers:

 

1. Brute (they can be injured and bleed profusely so NOT a tank)

 

2. Super Strength with perma charged RAGE on auto fire

 

3. Easily maxed up Fury bar

 

4. WILLPOWER for their secondary.  They are not immune to all damage but they also regenerate from extreme injuries. Invincible was beaten to a pulp by his own father in season 1 and survived.  Maxed up heal, health and regeneration

 

5. Alpha slot is either Vigor Core or Resilient Radial

 

6. Judgement is the MIGHTY judgement.  They have yet to really be shown hurling fireballs or lightning but MIGHTY suits them

 

7.  Interface: players choice

 

8.  Destiny: T4 Rebirth Radial or T4 Ageless Core, either one fits for a Viltrumite

 

9.  Hybrid: T4 Either Assault for more damage or Melee to boost regeneration

 

Obviously I am not saying we make copy cat costumes and names for characters I am simply speaking in terms of their powers. 🙂

 

Opinions?

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've just finished the show and Eve explaining she has blocks in place so she can't call on her full potential unless it's severe to the point of her own death makes sense. She's potentially a Phoenix level of power without the blocks. The same way Mark is basically Superman. It's always funny when the Guardians of the Globe are on the ropes and Mark blows in and takes everyone out without breaking a sweat.

Check out the Atom Eve origin movie they made if you haven't already.

I think the Viltrumites::CoH Archetypes as D&D Monsters::Classes. They're stat blocks, not character sheets. In other words, every Viltrumite we've seen so far is an AV, and they don't have to play by character creation rules.
