Good old Halloween

Yeah, I hadn't realized how big Posi is. Cap's not exactly a little guy, and, well, you see the difference.
Only way to be closer, is to be a bit taller and use the Perplex pattern in neon.

(Not sure about the pattern, though. I mean, he's dressed as Anti-Matter, not Posi, and last time I saw him A-M's texture was just the grey-to-blue Blend. Mind you, I haven't seen him in a while, maybe they've updated him like they did Posi?)

Weird that they asked you to change your name though. I had no idea that happened.

If you were going for Anti-Matter, then you are spot on. I only suggested Perplex because it has a tech-y line sorta thing going on.

Also, many NPCs are freakishly tall compared to your average 6-foot tall hero.

I think if they're going to be updating Praetorians, they'll start with Mother Mayhem.
The only problem with Halloween (apart from the fact that they've gone and made the event all complicated and flashy) is that it's dark all the time. Not only does that get old after a while, it means the lighting was very poor for this pic:

Yup, that's Cap in his favorite Halloween costume, presumably annoying his old colleague Positron somewhat. I think he's earned it, frankly, given that Posi made him change his name back in '04. (No, seriously. When I first made that character, there was very little info on the signature characters outside the game itself - there was no ParagonWiki or anything - and I didn't know there was one named Positron, so I called my Energy Blaster "Captain Positron". At around level 7 I got a nice note from Customer Service telling me, in effect, "UR PWNT NOOB! Pick a new name!" In-character, I've always felt that Cap, who is now a Hero of the City and a member in good standing of the Freedom Phalanx Reserve, takes the occasional opportunity to give his old buddy Posi a little good-natured ribbing about picking on the new boy from out of town like that.
Here's a better look at the costume Cap's wearing:
I think I got pretty close, if I do say it myself.
