Signal of Truth

Personal theories of mine:

1) Is DJ Zero in reality, Lord Nemesis?
2) Is Mender Lazarus in reality Doctor Aeon?
3) Are Shadow Cyst Crystals corrupted versions of Pillars of Ice and Flame?

More to come as I think of it.

I feel sick. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

I have a similarly built TA/A Defender. He's pretty awesome. I went not only for S&L defense, but AOE and Ranged. I figured I covered a large swath of the types, and would be well covered. No travel power, no hasten, and I do just fine.

I thought it was about time to post my speedster. Bionic Blur a Claws/Super Reflexes Brute. A victim of the Hamidon, Blur lost much of his hands and feet. Given the opportunity, he (figuratively) jumped at the chance for his now mangled and useless limbs to be replaced by cybernetics. He got more than he bargained for after Berry's modifications. After attempts to clean up the streets of Praetoria, the veil was lifted, blood was shed, and he crossed dimensions into Primal Earth.

He is inspired by The Ballad of Barry Allen by Jim's Big Ego.

P.S. I peak at about 291% recharge.

Thanks for the art Cami. Excuse me, I have something in my eye. *sniff*

PS. It's Mk V.

Yay! More Cami art! Thanks!!!

I know I'm going to catch a good deal of flak for this, but I posit that Batman is a very well built Archery/TA Defender. Ignore the bow aspect of it for a moment and think about the damage types and effects.

I'm not saying Batman isn't a melee character. What I am saying is he carries a belt full of ranged lethal damage typed weapons (and explosives, so I'm looking at you explosive arrow), and heavy debuffs.

You could argue that he's a Corruptor of a similar type, with the Scourge being him weakening his opponent.


I have now made the nerdiest argument on the internet.

Oh oh oh! Me! Me! ME!

Yes. That mission was a pain.

Hi! I'm the author of the pain-err, AE Challenge. I'm glad so many people had fun playing it. We try to have one for each of the the American Legion events, so it's not all standing around and posing. Heroes fight things! Thanks for coming out.
