ok, time for me to be a noob:

How does one activate the combat monitor window in the first place? I can pull up the combat attributes (the huge thing), but i've looked all over the options menu and cannot find a button to active this small combat monitor window.

I got the same problem.

Right-click one of the attributes, and select the option to track it, and the window will open.

To be honest, Stormers have a lot to be arrogant about. I mean, the have the full strength of nature's fury at their fingertips!

...Or, perhaps I am confused, and nature, when furious, borrows strength from Stormers.

Either way, arrogance justified.

I did come up with a completely new outfit. It's a modern spin on the winter theme. If it's TOO cool for you, I'll make good use of it instead, haha!

Wow. All I can say is that I'm going to have to hurry and level her up so I can play with your design. Thanks!

And I'll just keep messing with her current boots 'till I figure out something I like.

I wouldn't mind getting a little advice on this costume. It's mostly the boots that I'm not enthused about, but random advise on other details would not be unappreciated. And she'll need a second, third, etc. costume someday anyway.

If the background helps, she's a mutant with powers over ice and cold (corrupter) who delusionally believes herself to be the incarnation/ruler of winter.

I'm thinking that perhaps these newspaper articles are evidence of a changing timeline. As in, the breakout article mentioned Recluse in the Isles, and it was true when that article was written, but a further change caused Recluse to have never succeeded, as reflected in this newer article.

It was a coincidence, really. Nearly every other alley in the neighborhood had one of Dr. Vahzilok’s insane surgeons dissecting a corpse, but this was the one they ran into. This was the one that bore the brunt of their disgust for the rampant lawlessness they saw everyday. It was over quickly, leaving the pair of heroes to take care of the situation the villain had left for them.

“You’re the medic. What’s the procedure for…this?” Broken Memory asked his companion, indicating the lifeless victim they had ‘rescued’. Her response was another one of those glares that Memory tended to ignore.

“I’m not a medic,” Jade Rune explained yet again. “And there is no …. I think he’s still alive!” Broken Memory arched an eyebrow at Jade’s word choice as she dropped down to work her magic. In the time that he had known her, she had never once admitted that she could be wrong, or even unsure. For her to do so now, and in her field of expertise, told him much. It told him that whatever spark of life she may have seen was so faint she could afford no distractions, and Memory watched silently, ready to intercept any that might arrive.

“I’ve done all I can. He’ll live to reach the hospital as long as you don’t dawdle,” Jade stood up and stepped away, ignoring the hair that had come loose while she was occupied. Memory wordlessly scooped up the patient and began walking, fading away after the second step. His voice trailed behind, “Catch up when you can.” Jade waited for the voice to fade away also before collapsing against a nearby wall to catch her breath.

Roger Gile watched himself in the mirror as he finished buttoning the loose, blue shirt. Five years shouldn’t have made him so unrecognizable to himself, but the prematurely gray hair always drew his attention now. He forced himself to look away, and then to stop fiddling with the buttons on his sleeve.

The shirt was covering up the bandages over the discoloration in his arms, which was even more disconcerting than his hair. The doctors and Jade Rune both assured him that it wasn’t spreading, but were forced to admit that they didn’t know what it was. Jade required more than a little prompting before revealing that much. So far no treatment had had any affect, and Jade said it actively resisted anything she attempted. That thought made Roger shudder. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and then made his way downstairs. There was a ‘Meet and Greet’ going on. The staff had said it wasn’t mandatory, but Roger didn’t want to skip out.

Jade Rune and Broken Memory had both promised to keep in touch, feeling somewhat responsible for his well being since rescuing him. Jade had said she might consider volunteering, as well, if she had time, in a tone of voice that said she expected to be very, very busy.

Roger had no intention of relying on their sympathy, so he was very grateful that an official get together had been scheduled so close to his arrival. Jade and Memory were nice enough people, but they weren’t very personable. And they were busy.

The event was in a fairly large room, but it was still just starting to fill up. Grabbing a paper plate and a handful each of crackers, cheese, and salami, Roger wandered over to where a small handful of people had already started gathering.

I have a dark defender who occasionally uses "Super Hentai Tentacle Attack". Usually good for a laugh.

A couple things I noticed on my mahem mission:

My brute's Energy melee attacks against the reinforced doors didn't have their usual sound effect for a hit, although they were still doing damage, which I found to be a little disorienting.

The second thing was the villain who I rescued from the jail. Name of Shock treatment or something similar. I had read some of the other posts and was prepared for her to be easily distracted, but she had a strange insistence on completely draining parking meters, for example, completely of endurance without damaging them. Don't get me wrong, it was very impressive and all, I just kindof wish she could have finished up with it a little sooner and helped me with the police or something. It didn't seem like an unreasonable request to ME, but NOoooo... <trails off, rambling>
