That's because Hero 1 had an outstandingly awesome cape!
I have it on good authority that more information about Statesman and his connection to Ramen Noodles will be found in the upcoming novel "Web of Arachnos"...

You know what I find funny? I made a post poking fun at the whole "5th Column was changed because of the Europeans" crap, and yet 90% of the replies have been from people thinking I was badmouthing Ramen.

What I find funnier is that ramen isn't even European.
Maybe they don't have sarcasm on their planet and fail to notice if they're not concentrating.

In America today it's entirely acceptable to hate, and make racist remarks towards and against white people.
Europeans are almost universally whites (Caucasians).
Imagine if Liquid had stated that he hated Africans, or was even more specific, and stated he hated blacks?
This board would turn on him in a heartbeat.
There are certain groups with whom is it virtually a mortal sin to write hate speech about (Read: Gays, Blacks, Women).
Other groups (Read: Straight, White, Male) are under assault almost constantly. Watch television commercials, notice who is the butt of virtually every joke. These boards merely mimic the culture we live within. A culture of hatred, hatred of white men.
Many may argue that "Well, I can't be racist against whites, i AM white!". You can easily be racists against whites despite being white, just as much as it is possible to be a misandrist if you're male. (Although misogyny is a relatively well known word, misandry is not. Whereas Mysogynists hate women, Misandrists hate men).
That's the long comment. Here's the short one.
If Liquid had used the dreaded N Word, or even made it clear he hated those of African descent, how long do you think it would take before he was perma-banned?
Something to ponder.

Actually, the reason people arn't in arms over my first comment in the thread is because they realized I wasn't making fun of Europeans. What I *was* making fun of were the people who, back when the 5th Column was changed into the Council, constantly blamed the Europeans for the change and Cryptic for pandering to the Europeans.
This is also why I never used any kind of hate word in my post (LIke the N word), and used three things that had nothing to do with Europeans.

Exactly. Thats why I picked Ramen, Moose, and Penguins. None of them have anything to do with Europeans.

Don't hate ramen just because it's tasty and inexpensive!
Every culture has it's heroes (and tasty snack treats). The heroes of Paragon have had many alliances with heroes of other countries in times of war and peace.
(Insert Web of Arachnos subliminal message)
A hero is a hero, is a hero. Korean, English, Mutant, American or Kheldian. All heroes would do well to remember that, not just in times of need.

Well I gots a random question Iv'e been pondering. From watching all the CoH movies, and lookin at all the artwork, you can get a pretty good idea what AT a named hero is, sometimes little glimpes of what pool powers they might have. But heres the question: What is Synapse? He is described as a "speedster", and the only power I've actually *seen* him using is Super-Speed. It seems so far that that is all he has, can anyone shed some light on this conundrum?

I believe Manticore confirmed him as a blaster: an assertion supported by how quickly he fell in battle.
Weep for us blasters...

There are more. Ramen is like the greatest thing man ever invented. Next time you make it boil the noodles then strain it. Next take butter, garlic seasoning and some milk and stir it together. Enjoy.

Good things can be done with a can of cream of chicken soup. Mix with some chopped sausage, warm in pan you used for ramen, then poured over said ramen...that's quickie dinner.

It does not. Though it lacks ramen noodles. More's the pity. If Anakin had gotten more as a child, maybe he wouldn't have been so Sithy.

That's because fish and chips are serious stuff. A bag of chips, a filet or two of cod and salt and vinegar on the lot must be treated with reverance at all times.
Dreaming of tasty fish and chips...

As an American who's been to London several times, I can personally attest that delicious British fish and chips are NO laughing matter 
All this talk of conspiracy, and I didn't see anyone mention the most obvious sign that this "video" is a doctored fake.
None of the heroes are covered in hero-obscuring power auras.
Those heroes would have all their toggle and click protection powers running (they are storming an enemy base, after all). Those types of powers are known for their flashy, hero-obscuring graphical effects. It's possible that one or two of them might have more subtle-looking protection powers, but the rest of them - were this real footage - would be impossible to identify behind their power effects!
The whole thing is obviously a propaganda maneuver by Arachnos to promote poor team tactics among fledgeling heroes who might try to emulate the actions of Statesman and his team as portrayed...
I should have stopped paying you as soon as I realized that you were using my money to change the PvE game I love into a PvP game. It was foolish of me to trust you to leave PvE intact.

Just a question.
Um...as an american of african descent...ok, native american, spanish african, and I'm sure caucasian somwhere ...I totally don't take offense at any of the comments....with the exception of Ramen...Ramen is evil and should be nerfed.
Plus, you're all wrong about Synapse....he simply XP leeching because the guy with the bow got him ganked. Who in there right minds tells a SS, non-stealthed BLASTER go scout someplace you KNOW has alot of enemy...

Spam and Racism (Old Mad TV scetch). Both have MAS in their names. Which in spanish, means more, which you never hear anyone asking for more of either.
This thread is the RAD. It's got, racism (used lightheartedly and taken seriously by a few who took it out of context), it's got Raman (a soup)...and now...we are having bacholor Recipies AND it's got cheap shots at blasters.
