wonder what the hellions are going to be like
By the catapillars hooka you WILL smile!
Maybe once they overhaul CoH a bit we'll have a mission where we face off against the two Marrows in both EB format. Now that would be badass.
And the Bonefire mission sucks.
I have come back from a brief hiatus from CoH/V and I started reading the backgrounder info. I love the new stuff, it's great. Arctic Sun gets bonus points for getting "Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls." in there. Awesome stuff!

One unusual rumor about the Skulls that has sprung up since the Rikti War is the story of a lone wolf hero obsessed with the destruction of the gang. His or her name is unknown, though some of the street tales suggest his (or her) family was killed by Marrow Snap and Marrow Drinker. Some stories describe him as a feral hero, barely able to communicate. He pulls in new heroes to his cause with a terse, muttered phrase, Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls.

Oh my God, I love you!
FirePlug, FWIW, is a guy I gamed with occasionally in UO, EQ and SWG. We never got the chance to hook up in CoH and AFAIK he's retired now.
He was actually somewhat exaspirated that "Kill Skuls" went on to become the folklore juggernaut it is now. But we all get our fifteen minutes of fame...whether we want them or not. :-)

Read it again, and I have to say this is the best backgrounder yet.
It's genuinely macabre, it rings true (Eastern European - perfect) and it makes the Skulls INTERESTING.

Also, if EVERY skull has a real skull mask, that means one guy's died for every single skull out there. Which is just, well, silly considering their NUMBERS.

It's not silly in a superhero universe...
Imagine, all the masks have a little of the black vodoo and a little dyne resedue on them... Villian defeats a group, some masks fly off... a kid wanders by, "Hey look! Isn't this cool?" Presses mask to face, and whoom! Instant recruit.
Devious, isn't it?

If you made a hero who was recruited into the Skulls but broke free, would it be a Marrow Escape?
Intresting topic Artic has made. though the website script was sort of funny it was very ood actualy and why would any use it for a real battle though the chances of dying is 20% during the team member 1 going against 10 guys. It sounds fun though....

Agreed
I did a mission today with my new troller, Antimatter Flux and the mish title was 'Defeat Marrow Drinker and his crew' luckily for me it wasn't MD, it was Eulogy. but still, having the mission title at level 7 is rather pathetic, considering that there are level 10 Skulls in High Park (KR), and because the founders of the Skulls deserve better because of their story. (see my first post in the thread)
50Soulsunder: DM/Regen Scrapper
50Limitshift: EM/WP Brute
Victoria Nox: Dark/Dark Dominator
And about 5 others that change constantly...
I agree I would love to see a mission like frostfire, that is above level 10, for the two of them now. They deserve to be called elite bosses because they are the original leaders of the group, calling them a boss doesn't do them justice. Plus maybe it will help get people out of the hollows and doing their normal missions.

Are the villain backgrounders archived somewhere?

LoL, I figured you guys would be tired today. I say you should have left it XD
Im making a skull-based villain myself and Im wondering, what are the skulls origins? I think its magic but I hardly have skull missions on my magic heroes. The most I see are natural and mutant missions. I was just wondering so I could pick my origin correctly.
Im still trying to think of a name...
I want Marrow to be in it though.
