  1. Well, from what they said at the I19 panel, the actual method of crafting enhancmeents for the alpha slot doens't seem to have changed much from the way it was done in the GR closed beta - the big changes seem to be having an arc to unlcok the slot now, and two TFs to use the slot on.

    I'm not sure Tyrant would make his henchpeople into Incarnates - that could threaten his position - plus he has his clone army of Olympian Guards to use instead, and they'e totally loyal to him.

    Season-long story arcs might be better - it'd need fewer villains

So will anyone who steels more than $1 million through ponzi schemes.

    Bin Laden and his lieutenants and anyone who gives money knowingly to Al Qaeda - dead.

    Those guys who send out scam Nigerian Oil Minister Widow emails (and others of their ilk) would be given notice on the public airwaves that they need to stop IMMEDIATELY. After 48 hours, anyone running such scam will be summarily executed.

    Any world leader who starts a war will die. Anyone who orders the assignation of anyone else will die.

    I may go easy on corrupt cops and city officials (depending on severity of corruption). They may just end up losing limbs.


    The end result will be a hell of a lot of benefit to the poor, powerless, and disenfranchised. But it won’t be pretty.
    The first sentence is ok - but then the rest just degenrates into a insane bloodbath.
  5. BAB was one of the ones who left - there won't be anymore details from red names.

    He might get some help from his Hamidon buddy too

  8. If he's hugely powerful, he might even be used in a raid of some sort.

    EDIT: I'd be fun to fight him in his laval cave lair - the new MJ arc says that place is linked to the Praetorian Well of the Furies, which is why it's the only place an Incarnate like Statesman could be held prisoner, because those glowing restraint things are linked to the Well - but it could also make for an awesome raid area where Tyrant draws on the power of the Well to fight us - he'd probably have a legion of Olympian Guards to help him out too

    He's a failure for being a boring, moody jerk

    Since the new one is a clone it's not -his- face. It's the clone's.
    I don' think we're going to meet him on a TF until we've got more Incarnate slots available - if he's become so powerful, we'll probably need a lot more than just the alpha slot to be able to take him down.

    Though if you're looking to punch his face without regards to whether it's attached to him you could always print out a picture of him to punch or put your fist through a monitor.
    Actually, I'm working on a model of him for comic book purposes

    Two are storyarcs, not TFs, and the other two aren't in-game, yet. The only Evil Cole you can smack around is Nazi Cole.
    But a story arc still counts for slapping an evil Cole, so helping Maria Jenkins can also give the same amount of Cole-slapping action as the KTF

    The Tin Mage TF sends us to Praetoria, so that portal might be one of several that we have to take down to disrupt the invasion.

    They are different strata (floors?) of morality: societal morality, government morality (i.e. laws), and personal morals. They may come into conflict with each other. So if you had superpowers, which one would you abide by the most?
    Universal morality comes before any of them.

    No, he had an itchy nose and scratched it - that's why the zone looks like that.
  15. Avatea, will we be getting a trailer for the Tin Mage TF too?
  16. The person using the crossbow looks like a revamped version of one of Battle Maiden's warriors.

    Or, whatever way you know that a crime is being committed other than patroling (even Spidey had a police scanner) gives you enough knowledge that the two people are not twins. Maybe it is just simply a man versus a woman being mugged.
    Flying fast enough around the Earth to reverse time is also a useful option when there's more than one area that needs your attention

    Right now, it seems like your answer is "I don't have enough information, so I'd save neither".

    Quickly now, they're getting away, and you don't have a Wikipedia/legal file/their motivations clearly stated on your Pip Boy.
    Superspeed could get me to both of them in time

    So, yes.
    So how do I know the victim in the slums isn't a property developer looking for a bargain and the victim in the upscale area isn't a homeless person?

    Hope that helps!
    And now there are 4

    And technically, there are actuallt 6, if you go back in time to fight Tyrant on the Hero's Hero arc, or punch his clone in the face on the Hero's Epic arc
