There's more to it, actually. The belt is different, there's more armor on the gauntlets, and the batbriefs are finally gone.

Throw in as many geek culture reference as you want, Michael Cera still won't qualify as a "dude" or anything even close.

Maybe this is a little too simple-ish for what some folks are asking for, but I'd be happy with combining the Monstrous gloves option (that adds talons to fingertips on a many of the glove styles) with the Claws animations, but change it to use open hands instead of closed fists. Sure the hands are still "mitten" like, I don't think you need full on free fingers to pull this off. Granted I have no idea how much work that would require though. >.>

Cera is an annoying twit, but Scott Pilgrim looks a little -too- hipster stylized for me, never mind the whole it's-a-chick-flick-in-action-movie clothing thing the trailers scream at the top of their lungs. Did I mention I don't like Cera?

They've been doing this for years, where've you been? Batman's costume has been fiddled with from the almost the beginning, and it gets fiddled with again every time he's in a new show or movie.

This.

Been waiting for talon type finger claws for a while. I was hoping they'd be in the Mutant Booster too.

Just make them a Weapons Option once you give your the Claws powerset. I've never really paid that much attention to Claws, do the animations uses fists or open hands?

As an EM Tank, you have more options with the Epic pools to make up for the dismal performance of Whirling Hands.

Honestly, I'd roll another character. You could try Super Strength and re-color the SS effects to make them red if you like the EM visual.

I have an EM/Inv Tank "leveled" to 50 during the early days of AE, and I have no intention of going back to the character until EM gets overhauled. You didn't say what level you are, but Energy Melee is dreadful in the higher levels for Tanks and Brutes. Your two hardest hitting attacks have animation times of about 3 seconds each. It might not sound like much, but in a high level team, you'll get used to activating Total Focus or Energy Transfer, and having your target get killed by your teammates before you finish swinging.

Or your high level solo game is slowed down, waiting for those two attacks.

And then there's your only AoE in Whirling Hands, which is just sub-par all around.

Just sayin', but per the Jedi, it's not a yin-yang sort of thing. The cancer analogy that was brought up fits the official explanation. The Dark Side isn't supposed to be there.

Happened to a lot of the names around Pittsburgh. Duquesne is amusing in that regard.

I know. And I know it's 95% trolling, but still, maaaybe something will eventually get through the emoticons.

That does make perfect sense, and it's what I like to think the answer is, but isn't the official explanation rather far from that and needlessly complex? Something like the Dark Side is a corruption in the Force that isn't supposed to be there, and the Jedi thought that removing the corruption would return the Force to a pure and "balanced" state. And Luke fits into it somehow too.

They'll make eps 7-9, and remake 1-6. Mark my words, it's only a matter of time. And you do know how worthless it is to quote Lucas' stance on anything?

I've read the first two. I'll get to the third but I'm in no rush.

They're okay, nothing outstanding though. When Bane makes any sort of Dark Sider speech after his initial training on Korriban, you can practically hear the author grinding his teeth about how contradictory some Sith and Dark Side "philosophy" is.

*shrug*

The could team up Prime with Marvelman, and have 2 science based homages to Captain Marvel that were created by other companies and now owned by Marvel.

Seems the Crossgen characters were created under more straightforward contracts to cover who owned the characters. Malibu/Ultraverse gave more rights to the creators, which Marvel has little desire to deal with (as in getting the rights away from those creators to avoid royalties and the like) to get the characters back in publication.

I've done that a couple times. I lost track of a female character in a pretty spot-on Hobbit costume who had a Baggins last name and a bio that was something like they took a wrong turn on the way to Albuquerque and wound in in CoH. But to my surprise Willow Rosenberg is still a hero on Virtue *shrug*

Same here. From what I've read, Dredd's helmet staying on and his face not being shown are supposed to be central to the movie even being made.

Touch of Fear and CoF, in theory, work well together and won't effect Fury as much as some claim.

I have a lvl 38 DM/DA that I dust off from time to time. With my last respec, I went for the "fear tank" build, which seems to be working okay with my haphazard slotting, but I'm still at a point where Endurance recovery is an issue with all the @#$%^&* toggles.
