Now, the real question is, who in their right [censored] mind would trust Azuria with a jar of that water? It isn't even in the vault.

Great! Now how about a chapter explaining how Statesman looks so young, fresh, and non-wrinkled - seeing how he was superhero-ing back in the 30's?
Was there a time-travel expansion I missed? Has my memory been nerfed too?

He's an incarnate. He drank from the Well of Zeus (as did Lord Recluse), gained some godlike powers and (partial/total) immortality. At least that's what I've gathered.
[/ QUOTE ]
That is correct.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yay! I'm correct. 
That's what reading the comics gets you. Now, can anyone tell me why I feel stupidly giddy that Manticore said I was correct? I feel like I just rescued a puppy from a burning building or something. 
Do I contradict myself?

Nicely done.

Ya know... I know **WHY** Lord Recluse hates Statesman so much... States is an in-law and he's sleeping with Lord Recluse's sister. Worst possible combination one can have. Everyone knows that in-laws are one of the most pure forms of evil on the planet... on top of dating your friend's sister... Man... I'd be pissed too.

I can't help but wonder if the water equally changed Cole's perspectives. He was an infameous thief after all; after drinking from the fountain he sort of took a 360 from that path.
[/ QUOTE ]
180, you stupid, spaghetti-slurping cretin - *180*! If I did a 360, I'd go completely around and end up back where I started!

I didn't know States had a role in Last Action Hero as the main villain..

That's probably why they trust Azuria with that jar.

So.. gah. In the Praetorian missions, it says that Dominatrix serves Tyrant, even in that way. So, Tyrant is doing his granddaughter?

-Maiden Justice is Monica Richter. Her daughter is Miss Liberty who was born in the late 40's. (Statesman and Maiden Justice waited until later in their careers to have children.) Her granddaughter is Ms. Liberty who was born in the early 80's.
[/ QUOTE ]
So uh... this means that Tyrant is Dominatrix's grandfather too, right?
Ew.
[/ QUOTE ]
No - Dominatrix's mother was a hero - according to her bio named "Miss Liberty" - so it is unlikely that her mother's father was the Tyrant. Probably Miss Liberty-of-Praetorian-Earth's father was some other hero who is a villain in the regular CoH world... my first guess was Lord Recluse but he can't be as he is probably Miss Liberty's mom's brother in that world too? Or maybe it's in Praetorian Earth that Maria Jenkins got the name Maiden Justice first, accounting for the bio error. Whereas in real Earth Monica Richter got it first so Maria had to settle for her 2nd choice.

An INLAW??? That would explain the whole <air quotes> EVIL <air quotes> thang

Not just an in-law but really more of a step-brother since Rudy (Mr. Recluse) raised the Cole kids too.

Great! Now how about a chapter explaining how Statesman looks so young, fresh, and non-wrinkled - seeing how he was superhero-ing back in the 30's?
Was there a time-travel expansion I missed? Has my memory been nerfed too?
[/ QUOTE ]
He's an incarnate. He drank from the Well of Zeus (as did Lord Recluse), gained some godlike powers and (partial/total) immortality. At least that's what I've gathered.
[/ QUOTE ]
That is correct.

Now the only question remaining is: when can *I* play an incarnate?

If Praetorian Statesman is evil, maybe Praetorian Recluse is the hero, and he is Dominatrix's father?
Great, now I want to see a heroic Recluse.

If you'd read the book, once the water leaves the fountain, it loses it's purity and fails to be as potent as it was untouched.

Hmmm. Since our incarnates will not be as strong as States and LR could this be the explaination?

Someone needs to tell Amazon.com that this book has been released and they need to send me my copy since I live in the south and it takes us 6 months to get the new flavor of coke, let alone a nifty book such as this. 
Three points i think Manticore should clarify...
Does Dominatrix serve Tyrant (Her Grandfather), in that way.
Did Statesman get with his Quasi-Step-Sister and then Marry her, Betraying his best friend in the process ?
If the above is true, shouldnt we as Heroes be supporting Lord Recluse in his quest to destroy Statesman ?

Now, I come from the South, so y'all'd better take this how you will, but quasi-step-sibilings are fair targets the last time I checked. Certainly not ideal, but fair.
And if Statesman is an incarnation of Zeus, do I need remind everyone how jiggy the big 'Z' got with his sister Hera, or various descendants?

Statesman's only playing golf in the backyard. Recluse detonated the back nine with c4.
