Actually my Associates degree is in Computer Science and I am currently going for my B.S. So yes I am. Try not to be too embarrassed.

Why do you need to go to college at all? You're already full of B.S.

Harris: First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to appear on the program.

WarHawk: Thank you for having me.

Harris: Could you tell the viewers at home a little bit about how and why you became a hero.

WarHawk: Only a little… “Secret identity” and all that. Unlike many of my contemporaries, I can remove my armor and blend into the background, so I don’t want to give too much away at the risk of my private life. Let’s simply say that I believe in the old axiom that all it takes for evil to triumph is for a man to stand by and do nothing. I was put in a position that allowed me to do something, and I found that I had to do it.

Harris: What would you say is the greatest reward for being a hero?

WarHawk: I don’t want to use the term “hero” in the context you’re using it here, Steven. I just do what I can, to the best of my ability, to make life better for those who need help. There are tons of folks who do that. Doctors, Police Officers, Firemen, even people like librarians, waitresses, and retail clerks. It’s simply a career choice… I do it because it’s something I can do that helps people, and is rewarding in itself.

Harris: Have you ever found there is any drawback to being a hero?

WarHawk: Assuming we’re using “hero” as a job description and not a title… sure. As much as I enjoy what I do, there are times that I want to give up. It’s frustrating to see the “revolving door” legal system. Too many guilty people return to the streets, in some cases within moments of their arrest. It’s frustrating to see a group of street thugs attacking a person who is crossing the street to buy groceries, knowing fully well that those are the same thugs who you put in prison last week for attacking someone coming out of the same grocery store.

What is going through your mind when you are in a dangerous situation that could lead to civilian casualties? That must be a scary situation.

WarHawk: This is absolutely the worst part of the job. Typically, these are innocent folks who are put into this position through no fault of their own. Sometimes, they’re even in that position because a particular villain or group wants to hurt one of my contemporaries, and they know that smacking around innocent people will hurt us much more than that bullet from a cheap .38 special.

I try not to dwell on the emotional aspect too much, at least not while there’s still a job to do. The best way to go is simply to concentrate on getting the job done, and getting innocent out of danger and into the hands of proper medical care, if need be. I’ll worry about the rest later.

Harris: How do you feel about people that use their powers for crime like the outcast or the super villains we starting to see around the city?

WarHawk: No differently than I do about anyone who commits a crime. We’re all people; some of us just have the abilities to take things further than others. Do I wish it wouldn’t happen? Of course. But I also wish we didn’t have to worry about a drunk driver running over a small child.

What do you think is going through these criminals minds when they commit these acts?

WarHawk: I don’t know. There are some folks out there who are better qualified to answer this than I am. I know they all have different motivations. Some seem to want money. Some want power. Some want physical gratification. A lot of them just do it because its the only thing they know how to do.

How do you feel about the various anti hero and anti mutant groups that believe heroes course more problems then they solve? Given the amount of work heroes do for the city this must be quite upsetting.

WarHawk:It is upsetting. But, they have the right to their opinions. We do tend to be involved in a lot of situations that cause damage. I know I’d be unhappy with someone whose stray blast destroyed the restaurant I’d worked my whole life to establish, regardless of their intentions.

WarHawk: But I guess it can’t be helped. Comes with the job. A lot of folks aren’t fond of police officers, either.

WarHawk: As for the anti-mutant groups… those folks disappoint me. They come incredibly close to falling under the definition of racist, and I can’t get behind that at all. Good men and women fought and died for years over various race related issues, but it seems like a lot of people didn’t learn anything from that. Its sad.

and finally, have you ever worked along side the Statesman? What is he like?

WarHawk: I’ve never had the privilege.

I would like to thank you for coming on the show and on behalf of the citizens of Paragon city thank you for keeping the streets safe

WarHawk: We all do what we can, Steven. Stay safe out there.

Greetings, heroes. Some of you may know me by now, some of you may not. I go by the handle of WarHawk when I put on the armor.

I've come before you today to offer a proposition. Resources in Paragon City can be hard to come by. The overwhelming abundance of heroes who have migrated to our great city has made even the simple task of finding house incredibly time consuming. And face it, even heroes need to sleep. Well, most of us.

My team, the Titans, has recently acquired a good amount of property, and has begun construction of a headquarters. While it’s far from finished, there is plenty of space available for aspiring heroes other than the Titans.

Our artificial intelligence entity, Thoth, does a good job of keeping our roster and visitors up-to-date with Paragon’s happenings and news, and provides near instantaneous communication between members.

My proposition is this: Take up residence in our headquarters. Use our resources. Accompany us on our patrols. After all, we all have the same goal in mind… the safety and liberation of Paragon.

The headquarters has two security clearance codes… one can be established at www.titanscoh.com, and the other, by clicking the forums link from that sector. Please enter your information in both.

Everyone… members of existing teams, lone wolves, and young heroes… are all welcome, so please, join us. It just might be that we’ll extend you an invitation to stay permanently… as a member of the Titans.

Probably, at least for a short time. But, I think it'd be more effective to just set up periodic events on each server to let people gather. The events could be monitored by admins, in buildings, and if a character just came in to stir $#!t, the admin could just move them outside. This way, people could meet, interact, and decide who best fits their style, and you don't have folks dropping the $20 RP server as soon as they meet a group of 10 people who are willing to go back to a regular server and team up there.
