Anyway, When can we try out the new MM power? (Mouth Drooling) 
Anybody else remember the "Not all heroes are Ninja/Natural!" crap when Super Booster 4 came out? yup I do.
Those demons look less "classicly Demonic" and more "Monstrous" to me, If they had been red, had goatees, big horns,wings, cloven hooves and goat legs, long tails with triangular points on the ends,and weilded pitchforks, then the arguments of "These Demons are too Conceptually limiting" would hold more weght, but as far as how they look? They look like monsters with horns.
You want to talk about Conceptually limiting?
"Oh hey, I just got my..... Oni? the hell? 20+ levels of ninja-y goodness and you're giving me a Mountain Demon Spirit all of a sudden?"
Anyone Who wants to argue about my usual foolishness can find me here.

I'll miss you all.
Even thoug I love them...mercs look the worst ugh.
Conceptually, Ninja, Thugs, and Mercs best represent the mastermind who's henchman aren't a power, but just some guys you pay, your family, your friends, your Loyal Subjects, or follow your orders. EXCEPT THAT DAMN ONI!

Well, Didn't they say that the new MM power would be out in April...Or was that one of their april fool jokes as well...Jeez the waiting. (Bites nails) 
Also like the Duel Pistols the whip would be a good weapon by itself also if you ask me...
It's ment to be in april the release of Demon Summoning but not sure when. I thought it would be the start of april but i heard it might be middle of april

If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
blah!, The Fuuma wants his Demon Tamer already =D
c'mon!
I even have my theme/concept planned out. as a guy, it's a demonic circus and the guy is a demon tamer all i'm missing would be the chair =\
and if I didn't go with that. If i made it a lady, it would be more or less replacing the circus thing with witchcraft O_O!

That got me thinking. I tend to do the same myself. Why don't I go Science or Mutation more often?|

I think some of it has to do with the fact modern folks relate more to regular people with super abilities. Both Natural and Tech are essentially the same kind of thing. Naturals often use devices and Techs often rely of personal skill in addition to their gear. Magic's essentially the same kind of canard as Science in comic books. They're both tools ordinary folks don't understand very well that can do miraculous things. Any technology that's advanced enough would seem like magic (to the uneducated) to badly paraphrase the old saw. However, Magic just seems inherently more dramatic and interesting. It's easier to put a face and a mood to than Science.
Mutation is just a subset of Science if you think about it (the mysterious, to most, power of evolution). Marvel made it stand out by creating some social commentary around mutants and normals which is probably the only reason I suspect folks would even bother to think of it as a separate category at all. This distinction doesn't appear to really exist in CoH that I can tell so there's no really compelling narrative reason to play a Mutant.
Back when everyone was getting bitten by radioactive spiders, science was a big deal. The space race was on, wild new inventions were popping up all over the place, the world was changing at a speed that seemed radical to everyone. These days we're utterly jaded. Science, yawn, right? Change is the norm. New technologies aren't any more or less impressive or mysterious or inspiring than this year's fashions.
Anyhow, just some random thoughts.

Good Points, then you get people like me who pick there origin based on toon concept (which changes radically for each toon). I still end up as a magic or natural out of sheer habit though more often than not.|

I first began playing CoH as a magic toon and learned all the store locations, so magic became my "norm" since I found it easier, then HEATs and VEATs pushed me around a little and a natural toon seemd a good idea.
In my opinion though, the background story of a toon is what really makes it interesting.
