The ultimate stealth tool, combining SEP technology with a retro-stylish lack of curves or streamlining.

1) Just a Box - the standard Stalker Hide toggle, but the character is completely hidden inside a box.

2) Reinforced - Offering a decent amount of Smashing and Lethal resistance and a small amount of Melee Defense.

3) Cardboard Cover - offering some Ranged and AOE defense and a small Resistance to Smashing and Lethal damage.

4) Duct Tape - a Dull Pain type power.

5) Proofing - Mez protection toggle with an Immobilization hole, but some Resistance to Fire and Cold.

6) Box Livin' - Auto: Smashing and Lethal Resist, minor Regen buff

7) Close the Lid - an AoE Placate

8) Companion Cube - summons a decoy box pet that can only taunt.

9) Crate - The ultimate box.

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Is it sad that I was looking for a reference to some kind of team buff called dick-in-a-box?

I find it more strange than sad, but that may be because it's a reference I'm unaware of.

But it also makes me think I should have put in a power called jack-in-the-box.

I'm just happy to see no mime references.

We need a Mime Summoning powerset for Masterminds

That is, in my not so humble opinion, the cutest catgirl stalker, EVAR!

Honestly, reduce the Stealth level to that of the 1st tier Concealment pool power and make this a Temp Power Recipe.

I'd put in bids for it RIGHT NOW!!

I will only sign this suggestion if enemies that detect the Stalker have an exclamation mark appear briefly above their heads.

Bob Hope topic jumped a bit too often for my tastes and delivered more in quantity of comedy rather than quality. He doesn't really make me guffaw though he can generally make me smirk (and, if you know anything about memory and how we remember the past, magnitude is incredibly important so my exposure to Bob Hope has largely met with a "meh").

Now, if you really wanted to try to put me in my place, I probably would have referenced some SNL skits with Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Chris Farley, or any one of the many other more "classic" (and generally more critically acclaimed) SNL cast members than Andy Samberg, rather than attempting to rely on a largely outdated comedian that most people simply reference to appear more cultured or because they don't like anything new.
