Funny Blaster Concept

Whats up all. I had a funny idea for a toon this morning so i figured i'd share it.

I'm an Arcade Tech and a couple of months ago a game called Tower of Power damn near electrocuted me sent to the hospital though. So i went ahead and Made an Electric/ Devices Tech. Blaster called Tower of Power. Should be fun as i get later in lvl and figure out some kind of bio that'll work it in. Anybody else have weird stories on why they made certain toons.

It may be a band name, but it's also an arcade game that's sucked many a quarter out of my pockets. Sorry to hear about the hospitalizing electrocution from it though; didn't realize the tower was THAT powerful.

Not sure I have many stories like that behind character generation though.


Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.

I have bad memory so i cant say the details but alot of my concpets come from ether when im reading manga(Online) or wacthing TV or just plan reading(Books) or when im just playing/talking with GameBro.

one of my recent is Schneider (Cutter or Slicer in German) i ended up making a DB/WP Brute with that IN the name.


Going to miss the fun and nice people here at CoH. Feel free to add me on PS3/XBox360

Sorry to hear about that incident. I know they're a Sixties soul band, and I remember the video game too, but the first thing I think of when I see the phrase "tower of power" is the Frank Zappa song, "Bobby Brown (Goes Down)".

No, not posting a link to that one. You'll have to find it yourself.

heh well if it get's generic'd cause of the name i'll just call her power of tower . Oh and the game doesn't have THAT much power behind it but when it holds onto you for 4 or 5 sec. it kinda sucks lol.

When I first read the title I thought you were talking about a funny themed build.

On my only 50, a MA/Inv scrapper, I made her second build a knockback machine. Everything I could I slotted for knockback. I thought it would be fun/funny.

But I forgot that scrappers hate knockback. She was unplayable.

I respecced the first build but still have the horrible second. I had forgotten about that Fail of mine.

I have an elec/shield scrapper (intending to use a tower shield but not really finding one available) of a very similar name (tower of power had gone on the server I was on). Yes that was made after listening to the Zappa song.
