I can't believe noone has said a peep about the Kinetic Melee and Electric Control powersets.....
I'm picturing a combination of punches and kicks with knockback and slow effects for KM. Elec control sounds like it will rehash some existing powers from electricity manipulation and throw in some sap-heavy twists.
Am I off? -
this is my favorite thread ever

good luck, everyone!

Poor Coyote... I've always wondered what he did to piss off Statesman badly enough to earn himself a lifetime of telling newbies to punch sick people...

Couldn't agree more. The whole thing has been great. I'm just that disappointed I didn't come up with a 3rd one for my second entry. Once I managed to settle on something I liked, Statesman and Positron came out really well. I might just post them anyway.

So, time for my third entry, since my mind is still cooking. Ready? Then cue the Vapors, because we're turning Japanese!
Statesman ---> Rising Son (classic look, nice outfit, States is not the flamboyant type)
Sister Psyche ---> Harajuku (ditched the standard green for the purple and pink most commonly associated with psychic powers)
Positron ---> Pojitoron (anime inspired)
Back Alley Brawler ---> Yokozuna (tough to pull off a proper yukata with our costume bits)
Manticore ---> Oni (not the mastermind pet!)
Numina ---> White Hair (more Chinese than Japanese, but there's so much crossover between the two)
Synapse ---> Puroresu (I've always like high-flyers in wrestling)
Citadel ---> Nejiro (my toughest toon to interpret, guess I'm just not as inspired by him compared to the others)
So, I've used three of my five entries...dare I try more?
especially Synapse, since wrestling is too frequently overlooked as part of the Japanese experience, and the luchador look came off very well! -
Ok, here's submission #2 (now with a theme!).
This time around, I ran with the Rogue idea and made an all-Arachnos Phalanx. Alternate realities ftw!
Statesman:
It's tough to make an evil States that doesn't look like Tyrant, but here's my take on it.
Citadel:
My only really significant deviation from the existing theme, it occurred to me that an AI in an evil organization would inevitably try to take over--so to hinder his ability to do so, yet keep him as a viable threat, Arachnos just periodically strips him for components. The results short out some of his energy melee capabilities, transforming him into an electrical melee fighter.
Back Alley Brawler:
This one was fun. Simple, but kept him sassy :P
Positron:
I figured Posi would be a shoe-in for a crab spider, but he would be forever modifying his pack to augment his artillery with his own innate powers.
Synapse:
Not really a big explanation here, just a more twisted version of the speedster.
Sister Psyche and Numina:
Like Synapse, I just went for a darker version of the existing costumes. Not much for an explanation of choices, but hey--I'm really sleepy.
Manticore:
Not to pat myself on the back (much), but I kinda dug the other entry I had for Manti, so I used that as the basis for the spider costume instead of his original.
And that's that! G'night, everybodies! -

FISH!!!
Glad to see you throw your hat in the ring! I really like your take on States.
I feel really outclassed here, these ideas are seriously amazing. I entered too quick because I was afraid I'd miss the deadline, so I'll probably tweak things more and get in a couple more before the night is through.

WOW!!!
some amazing stuff here. the fantasy phalanx takes the cake for me, but i'm still throwing my hat in the ring
I didn't really go with a theme here, per se, but I just tweaked the classic looks a bit so they looked a bit more updated. Think Ultimates as opposed to classic Avengers.

Awesome stuff! Grats to all the winners and approximately 1 billion thanks to Teh Pumbly One!

There should totally be a '/em poledancefail' and an 'unfortunate cellulite' hip texture to allow for more realism.
Then you've got ten of my hard-earned.

O.O
Happy birthday, LtG! -
Happy Birfday!
