Just who are these people?

So, I was trying to find a picture of various villains that I could use as a desktop at work, and found this image (which I modified to make the question easier).

Which brings up the question: just who are those other heroes in the picture (#1 through #4)? I wonder if they were all ever even named?

Jennifer, Stan, Mike, and the other Jennifer. The other Jennifer should probably duck...

(I don't know, they're just random character art. Some of them have been recurring, but I don't think they actually have ever been named. Might want to ask over in Manticore's Canon thread.)


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)

Good call on posting in Manticore's thread... I hadn't thought of that.

Number 3 looks like he could be an early version of Foreshadow, just like that Back Alley Brawler doesn't look much like the one we have now.

No, #3 is that same "vertigo" guy that's on the main loading screen. The Guy with the single monocle and the swirly chest pattern. Don't know his name or origin, but I'm pretty sure from the outfit it's related to the concept of "vertigo". Possibly a form of Mind Controller.

#2 is also on the loading screen, with a really good front view. Looks like some sort of "tribal warrior".

I'm going to start calling them by these names.

Heck, I may even start a character alled "The Other Jennifer" in honor of this answer.

I always thought that "Topknot Boy" was supposed to be a genie as well, Dispari.

He can't be a genie, he's not NEON BLUE!

Duh....

Neither was Jafar. He was an ANGRY RED!

Of course, he was also a villain...and we all know that they're from the red-side...

He wasn't a genie, he was a Djin.

This wallpaper seems to indicate he's a speedster. Also #s 1, 2 and 3 are all on the loading screen.

He wished to become an all powerful Genie. So, he was a Genie with phenomenal cosmic powers...and an itty bitty living space.

No, he was quite clear in his wish.

Jafar became a Genie of Complete and [Yadda Yadda Yadda] power.

this of course begs the question who are all the heroes on the loading screen?

Umm - Jennifer, Mike, Stan and the other Jennifer. Oh, and the guys from Accounting, I think. Weren't you paying attention earlier?

Perhaps he is a tribal genie? Hence why he isn't Blue OR Angry-Red.

But "other" Jennifer isn't on the CoH loading screen, and that still leaves 10 other heroes un-named.

Could #3 possibly be an early version of Malaise?

(QR) I've always assumed they were just generic designs meant to represent random player characters. As such, I doubt the devs gave them names.

Although it's possible they could be specific creations of folks in Cryptic or Beta players or something.

Maybe someone could ask Manticore in the lore thread?

Actually it raises the question. Begging the question is using a logical fallacy.

They should add these guys to the game in some way. Either came or just write them in. No need to have nameless heroes on the splash page. Use what u already have.

I think they should periodically have bio contests. Let the player base name them and give them a backstory, and the winner gets some sort of minor prize. A yellow-name in-game, or a unique forum title. Nothing outrageous.
