There are a lot of different themes that could be done under natural, nevermind that even if you limit it to "martial arts", ninja's are only a small subset of that.

EDIT: Also, under the definition that CoX uses for the "natural" origin, aliens and other beings that get their powers simply because they were born with it also count as natural (eg. Superman is natural, because his powers stem from his Kryptonian heritage).
Uh argueably they are martial arts. I discount Superman as an example, the forums have never agreed on his origin under this system.

I would argue that those are Psionic, which highly depends on how the power is created and since there are not clear answers it just depends on what Origin you take. If it Training based then it natural if it is gentic it is a mutation.

Well it can be argued that assault Rifle is Tech, it stop being a simple machine, but I willing to say you got me.

Batman is Natural/Tech/Scince as i have stated before.

What so i was wrong at least to a degree al lot of the Character mention have base in martial arts, yes your super spy is different because of gun play.

I believe they meant "not anime good."

As in "It's not anime good, but it's decent."

Archery is a martial art? Assault Rifle? Hitting people with a baseball bat?

By textbook definition, yes. Covered in this Booster, no.

Unless they want to invent an origin specifically for him, he both fits the Natural origin and has been accepted to fit there very much ever time this is brought up. This is especially important for me, because I have a whole cartload of Natural characters, just no natural HUMANS.

I didn't even know there was a debate xD

Even the Natural Origin description says so

"or perhaps you are not human at all, and possess powers natural to your race."

Well, the Natural Origin stores have guns, ammo and landmines among the knives, throwing stars and giant jugs of steroids

Of course, almost every character is at least partially natural (excluding robots or golems and stuff). For example, my Sonic blaster is Tech because he received his powers from an implant in his throat but that doesn't help him run faster or jump higher. So I try to find "natural" solutions to those things. I'm sure a lot of other people's characters are the same way.

Just spent ten minutes ninja-ing around Sharkead with my ninja blade/willpower stalker.

WOW!

10/10, would buy again, worth way more than 9.99.


haven't even looked at anything else in the pack, but Ninja Run is the best thing since pre-ED IH.

Well the ankle ones are presumably used for grenade jumping.

This is true. However, with Valkyrie, Magic, and Cyborg, I've found uses of pieces and parts that go well beyond the niche of the packs. The run animation (and that's really the only thing I was commenting on) for Ninja Run really is niche. I'm sure I could find other combinations for the costume parts to extend them beyond merely ninja.

technically any form of combat with structure is a Martial Art. I have conseded assault rifle, even though their is a tech aspect to it.

Please read the entire post as I some time combind responces.

I disagree and I know other do as well, but I really not interested in argueing this again.

Regardless of forum debate to the contrary (and to be honest, I don't recall seeing any serious debate on this subject on the open forums), if you believe Superman's powers derive from his natural physiology as a Kryptonian, then the best match for origin given the definitions of the game's origins is Natural. In City of Heroes, players are allowed to use whatever interpretations they wish to select their origin, since backstory is a completely free and unregulated option. But the devs have signaled their own interpretations with the Kheldians. Peacebringers are alien energy beings that get their abilities from being energy beings as their natural state. Their origin is not optional: its Natural. By contrast, Warshades are also locked to an origin: they are Science (because Warshades are reformed Nictus which are themselves Kheldians that used science to alter their form).

I would actually consider Superman's powers Science. If he was on his home planet with everything normal and "natural," he'd have no powers. It's our sun that gives him his abilities. It'd be like if humans went to some distant planet and the gasses in the air gave them super strength. I wouldn't consider that Natural. He doesn't just have his powers, and he didn't train for them. Some outside source reacts with him and gives him those powers.

Why not? Doing the job and showing off your biceps' power at the same time - makes awesome sense.

Ah, but it's because of his Natural Kryptonian physiology that his cells react to yellow sunlight as such. If you've followed the numerous stories of Superman throughout the ages you'd know that once he comes in contact with red sunlight, he immediately begins to lose his powers.

I always figured that the science origin permanently imbued you with powers, such in the case of Spider-Man or the Fantastic 4. Spidey doesn't need continued bites from radioactive spiders and the FF doesn't need continued exposure from cosmic rays to maintain their powers.
