I remember a forumite who'd been in beta saying "See that? on the loading screen? that's me!" I don't remember WHO on the loading screen, I don't remember the forumite... but it's a rumor and dammit, can't stop the signal.

Yeah, I remember that as well and iirc he was related to bugs somehow.

Was it... Mr. Universe? 
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

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

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

Well, if anyone would recognize a logical fallacy it would be the guy with a Cobra operative as an avatar.

(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?

I did. Posted it yesterday I think?

You didn't use a logical fallacy, I'm just saying that's what begging the question is.
It's when a point to be proved is assumed in the explanation or the premise.
For instance, if I were to say, "City of Heroes is the most popular side of COX because everyone plays heroes." that's begging the question.
Sorry to go off on a tangent but people misusing phrases like that is a bit of an irritant for me.

Splice those commas. Attach them to other punctuation marks. create the semi-claimation point!

I'd be ecstactic if posters could simply get:
they're, there, and their correct, and since we're shooting for the moon here;
to, two, and too properly used would be nice.
Crowning the fantasy would be the abolishment, and disappearance of ur

Of course it would have to be the disappearance of the pronoun.

Good Points.
Of course, the sort of person who can't be bothered to distinguish between your, you're,
and yore, is probably the same sort that doesn't know Ur ever existed in the first place...

#2 is also on the loading screen, with a really good front view. Looks like some sort of "tribal warrior".
[/ QUOTE ]
I always thought he looked like a genie.
[/ QUOTE ]
Seconded. In fact, I gave my male genie character that same topknot just from that image.
No idea who he is.
Also, CoV never needed to make up any excess characters, since they usually just use nameless Arachnos goons for that job.
One more comment, #1 isn't very clear, but I think she looks like War Witch. And I'm not sure who on the loading screen she is supposed to look like. (The girl in the pink spandex's hair is too long, and the girl in the shorts behind her, while her outfit kind of looks similar, it is not dark enough. And the girl to the right of Statesman... well... that's Maiden Justice, or I believe that's the concensus. There's a lot in common with her costume and Ms. Liberty's, and in fact in the other pics Ms. Liberty seems to be wearing an even closer variation of it)

# 1 can't be War Witch. Jennifer (or #1, not to be confused with Riker) is wearing a pink outfit, is blonde and has a heart symbol on her chest in the slightly larger (and clearer) original image.
