What's the concept behind Laser Beam Eyes? You have such complete control of your body that your eyes now shoot lasers?

You understand you could various different answers? I mean everything ranging from a Cyborg will lasers installed in their eye sockets to mystics capable of focusing their gaze to the exetent it physically hits you.

It all depends on YOUR character and YOUR concept.

I think they couldn't think of another name that went with energy. Take a look at the names of the hero epic pools. None of them are exactly the same but they are theme matched with the same type of powers (example: pyre, fire, and flame mastery for tanks, blasters, and trollers), with a few exceptions. Energy themes being one of them (energy, power, body, force?, primal forces). And after giving it more thought, I can't think of any others for energy myself. Don't take it as fact. Its just an opinion from observations.

You stare so hard you pierce into your opponents soul.

Unless, of course, if you miss, you know, with your eyes >_>

How you can miss looking at someone, I'll never figure it out.

Good point. But LBE slotted with -res proc, hold proc, dmg proc and some dmg/range/recharge that auto hits with the power of a scrapper's BU and critical chance.....

Concept? CONCEPT?

My concept is that shooting frickin' lasers out of my frickin' eyes is frickin' awesome.

(In practice, I almost always choose the magic origin. Then my answer to ANY question on why I can do something is "It's magic!" So yeah. I shoot magic lasers. Why not? )

LOL.. well said.

Concepts can be very touchy. I play mutants exclusively (cuz mutants rule, duh!), so I feel my explanation is just as easy as magic or tech.. an eye mutation allows me to shoot laserz.. yeah.

I can understand the question if you're talking about Natural origin though, which it seems the OP was.. Or at least it would make sense to me that way.

As to how that could happen.. No idear, sorry.

My concept? Well Madam Enigma is a logical outgrowth of an old Heroes Unlimited character. I liked the look of claws so didn't do the true character (katana wielding hyper agile person with laser vision).

Well, if we're looking for excuses for a natural origin, put on some experimental goggles and call it a gadget power. Nobody says that natural super heroes can't use a little technology.

Just like manticore. He is always refered to as natural, yet he uses his trusty bow.

Don't forget his incredibly advanced arrows and his use of the Mediport system (via hacking) to teleport around. He routinely uses technology to provide himself with advantages.

The point of origins is to explain where most of a character's powers come from. If you need to give your natural character a travel power, there's no rule stopping him from stealing a Sky Raider teleporter, cracking it open, and turning it into a belt so that he can teleport across wide, open spaces. The same goes for him getting some fancy new boots that allow him to jump/fly/run really fast. The best way to put it would be that hero origin explains where you got your primary and secondary. Everything else can come after that.

My sonic/devices is a mutant. His sonic powers are the only thing granted to him by that mutation. The Devices, Flight, Munitions mastery, and everything else, are all technology derived.

The question here really is: How do YOU think your character shoots lasers out of his eyes?

Laser eye surgery.


Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?

Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

or.. it is merely total cocentration.. a channelling of ones chi to lvls that the kinetic force can be directed at target externally.

So that you can take super strength, invulnerability, super speed, flight, laser beam eyes, and run around in blue & red underoos with a red cap & slick black hair.

That's why.
