villian to hero..
Venom asks spiderman to get the device from the fantastic four.
So, Spiderman uses his influence to help a villian.

Conversely, a Villian could help a hero.... using their influence in the criminal underground to find out information, or provide whatever.

I think the point of people discussing how Infamy/Influence would not be tradable (ie, a Hero would not be able to provide Influence to a Villain) is more of an out-of-game concept.

I know that personally, I do NOT want to see a Hero and a Villain fighting one another, while six Heroes (who out-of-game, are friends with the person playing the Villain) standing around tossing healing inspirations, damage inspirations, and whatever else to the bad guy. Likewise, I don't want to see a level 50 Hero spending millions of influence on a full set of enhancements for a Villain when that Villain is going to end up fighting against a Hero, too.

FYI, Demo playback is still crashing constantly. The ONLY demo that I could get to run at all required me to:
1. Stand on the edge of the zone
2. Pass no more than 3 enemies.
3. Activate no more than 2 powers (sprint, then super-speed)

Even then, it still crashed after 6 seconds. At least it displayed the super-speed power first. I would LOVE for demo recording to actually work...
