SuperFerret

Just kind of slapped this together, and I like how it looks, but I'm sure I could trim some fat and fix it up some more. I'm going for a brute with some substantial defenses, so I can tank a bit if need be, but mostly I want a soloable, fun build.

Any and all advice, input and/or criticism is welcome. Thank you in advance.

This is the type of thing I was expecting. Huzzah!


Also, Hat is innocent. Babies can be pretty dangerous if you don't manage your aggro well.

It starts on Thursday evening.

I can elaborate further. Taking them as people illustrates this best. Batman is frequently written as a constantly brooding loner with little to no capacity for trust, friendship or any positive emotions and is obsessive about "the mission". Superman is frequently written as a country boy with traditional morals and values, who has interests and hobbies and friends in both his identities, and does what he does out of a sense of charity. (The best Superman stories also deal with him trying to live up to the expectations that come with being Superman.)

It's really a result of how each character is seen. Batman IS seen as the more relateable one, just by virtue of being from a species that really exists, so there's little effort put towards actually writing him as such. Many newer Batman comics (last decade or two) are written with "make Batman a super-badass" in mind, which is sometimes referred to as the "Batgod".

Superman, however, is commonly seen as unrelatable, so a ton of effort is put forth to make him so, and (at least in my opinion) Superman comes out to be the more believable and the more three dimensional person.

Ever read an X-Men comic? Look up Psylocke.

Batman is the least relatable of the DC characters. Completely unrealistic in his "more realistic" world. He's supposedly a normal guy, but one with more money than God, vast knowledge in dozens of fields while being perpetually in his 30's, and skilled or lucky enough not to get killed over the past ten or so years he's been active.

Superman is very relatable, because once you get past the god-like alien stuff that's pretty much a "hey, just accept it" sort of deal, everything else falls into place in a quite realistic manner. It's Superman's inherent unrealism that makes his stories far more believable because your disbelief is already somewhat suspended. Marketing Batman as realistic while he and his world are decidedly not makes it less believable because you're led to believe that you shouldn't suspend disbelief as much.


At any rate, as a longtime comic reader, I don't see much difference between a DC and a Marvel character anymore. Yes, there was a time during the Silver age where the commonly spouted differences were true, and yes, they may hold some water now with regards to certain characters and their Other Company Counterpart, but if you took all the Marvel characters and all the DC characters, shuffled them together and randomly dealt two universes of characters, there wouldn't be any real difference from the current universes now. (Note: I'm also talking about the Pre-Flashpoint Post-Crisis DCU.)

Marvel's got their properties spread out across different studios. DC is WB only.


Also, DC ruled animation for a very, very, very long time. Marvel's just catching up now.

I personally hate the invention system and get by just fine with SO's on most of my characters.

And I'm a VIP.

I'm gonna repurpose my Ice/Poison corruptor into the Water/Poison he was meant to be.

I was hoping for something more exciting, but this directed me to the fact that I had 13 XP Boosters already waiting, so I guess it's a good start. This would be a really good way to hand out vanity pets and those wacky travel powers.

I like Mercs as it is, but yeah, I could go for some improvements.

Leadership among the pets would be great, as would just a general buff to their basic stats. I'd like the Medic to primarily heal/buff instead of run off and die or stand there and watch. And finally, just aesthetically, I think the Commando needs one of the Council's miniguns. He just looks like he needs it.

This doesn't seem to be Live. I can start the game up no problem without waiting for updates and the costume sets aren't available.

I personally like villains that are villains, but see themselves as being the good guys for whatever reason. Neither "glamorous" nor "disgusting", though they'd likely drift through both categories on occasion.

Of the villains I currently have, one's a near mindless monster, acting on animal instinct (albeit with a malicious bent). Another is an alien supersoldier, basically a one-man invasion force, who is only doing his duty to remove complications from this planet (though he does have a cruel streak and thoroughly enjoys his job). A third is control personified, someone who cannot stand when things go differently to his plan, he's fairly disgusting for purposes of this conversation though (but he's got the class of any Bond villain). My fourth (and currently only residing in an AE arc) is a lowlife thief with next to zero imagination, misdirected ambition (meaning he could be shooting higher, but doesn't see it) and near limitless power. He's neither glamorous nor disgusting because he's a fool.

Just have your character yell the name of the power when using it. It works in Street Fighter.
