Err... no mommy bags?
He doesn't have a cat or a panda on his shoulder.
Scrapper Jack (SJ/WP Brute), Sky Commando (WP/SJ Tanker), Curveball (Rad/DP Defender), and a bunch more.
<.< forgot about that part of the info...
I have a question though. I was watching the DVD content with the movie ad for CoH. It shows Statesman over the course of several generations. Is it the same statesman and he's Immortal? or is it a title thats passed on under certain circomstances?
>.> also, Archimedes's avatar reminds me... Does MegaTokyo's Dom ever post to these forums? I know who his ingame Chareacter is on Justice server but... <.< was kinda interested in what avatar he uses here
I am Sleepy! Hear me Yawn!!
Veni, Vidi, Dormivi!

Never forget--Sleepy could conquer the world, if she could just stay awake long enough. =) -Llanwe
I am under the impression that Statesman is the same person since the name was first taken back before WW2. I would like to see that helmet off, but I think his mastery of his own "will" keeps him young. I don't think he is immortal though.
Where does Bastion fit into this?
Bastion is changing his name to Citadel in I4, Citadel being one of the the surviving 8.

Statesman's really old. Marcus Cole found his inner strength in the "far east" after WWI, and became the Statesman. He's not quite kung-fu, so I don't know what's up with the far east bit. Also, he's natural. No magic, no mutation, no etc...
Statesman is an odd-ball of a hero. No real past, no family left. Just one chick claiming to be his grand daughter (and she's a player). So, well... yeah, you figure it out. That face plate is just a costume option - nothing special. Apperantly has quite a few. About half my SG has one after rescuing him for the umpteenth time for Tyrant (who's a wuss I might add).
Also, in the CoV trailer Backalley Brawler clearly has /EM but Maruader is /SS. What's up with that? /SS is so gimp, BB should be /EM or at least a suped up version of SS. Meh... AV rants for another thread.
Thanks Manticore.

Now that the trainers are getting expanded menus (on Test), it might be nice if a "what about this contact?" entry was one of the new choices....

Yeah, that has always bugged me. You can only get a rough idea of thier history from Preatorians and that never tells you enough. TO date I had assumed Miss. Liberty was connected to States, but I never thought she was his Sidekick. That in it's self might be an interesting story. And she can't be the first, States is over a 100 years old, how many sidekicks has he had? What were they're names? And most importantly, where are they now? I would realy like to know some of this stuff.

Aside from the five o' clock shadow? Well...
On top of my last set of questions, is Blue Steel part of the Vindicators? All the other Vindicators are trainers, so it makes sense. I feel so sorry for Blue Steel. He's the trainer of an almost completely empty zone and doesn't even have an evil alternate dimesional clone. Poor Blue Steel.
No, Blue Steel is a Paragon Police Department endorsed hero. No affilitation with other heroes in Paragon. In fact, until beta, he wasn't even planned.

One of his ex-sidekicks is a 45-50 contact.

He was a founding Regulator according to the ingame plaques, but considering it was decimated in the war like the other groups, and Brawler apparently left it for the Phalanx, I think he's just a cop now.
And he's gotta be at least 50, so if being good with a shield was all he had going for him he probably wouldn't do much superheroics anymore anyway. I'd still like to see more backstory on him, though.

Maybe when they add more "raid" encounters an evil alternate version of Blue Steel will turn out to be a mega-powerful archvillain... 
The poor guy deserves it since he's so ignored...
Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name

Even though I recently did the Numa Numa TF ( ), I really don't know much about the Woodsman, other than what the DE did to him, and his present condition.
[/ QUOTE ]
The concept of a Numa Numa Dance TF scars the mind. For mercy's sake, do not speak of it again, much like the twisted demented imaginings people have of sequels to Highlander.

WHo says he's natural? Marcus simply said that he'd unlocked his inner will, abut it was clear that he was pretty vague about the whole thing, so who know what exactly that entangles.
He COULD be a mutant. Maybe his inner will is his born gift. It could be that he tasted eastern mysticism. We don't know.
Blue Steel was also a partner of Back Alley Brawler. I beleive they were both in the Regulators together.
Isn't Minx the sidekick of Synapse?
I'd say so based on reverse induction from the Praetorians.

This song gets such a bad rap - i own the original album and it is actually very good even if you dont understand Romanian, there has only been 1 video of it i have ever liked - and that is the one O-Zone actually did for it themselves for the European Equal of MTV - 1 version until now - THAT WAS ADORABLE - finally a video of some one enjoying the song and not making fun of it - YAY Miss_Kitty - thanks for sharing it.
Now back to the topic - actually from following the backstories and badges i had thought that each of the survivng 8 had a side kick in the trainers
Lets see what i can do from memory here
Statesman = Ms. Liberty - always just thought that was a given
Positron = Valkyrie - Backstory and Destin for Vallhalla Badge
Synapse = Mynx - Backstory and Nimble Mynx Badge
Back Alley = Blue Steel - what little backstory there is connects - yes they were both in the Regulators
Citadel = Luminary - just seemed appropriate the 2 androids were a team since they are the only 2 who probably can have a conversation on the same lvl
Numina = Infernal - Backstory
Manticore = Swan - Backstory
Sister Psyche = Malaise - Backstory (but with I4 that becomes Sister Psyche = Aroura Borealis based on the new backstory - its a shame some one with such cool fashion sense turn out to be evil again - Malaise will be missed as a friend)
With that info it isnt a big leap to think as the SideKicks have matured that they would end up forming a team and be heros in their own rights
It isn't mine. I found it and saved it. I then uploaded it to my site for safe keeping should the original site ever go down. Good thing I did. Last I checked I couldn't access where I found it.
By the way. That is a guy(With pink hair no less).
Hey its Anime - strange hair colors even on guys is par for the course - just wait to see what anime fans come up with once I4 goes live - even i myself have many many more alts planned

Good to know this, too. I wasn't aware that Ms. Liberty was State's sidekick.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, I guessed she was State's sidekick by induction. Dominatrix "services" Tyrant in all ways. That is kinda like an SandM sidekick. So outside of bizzaro world, she might be his sidekick.
*Note to self: When pistols come out make a Praetorian Malta Gunslinger alt.
