Green Lantern Like

If you wanted to make a character like Green Lantern, what would the AT and power sets be? Notice, I said like, not an exact copy.

Superman? Easy. Invulnerability / Super Strength Tanker.
Batman? Easy. Martial Arts / Ninjitsu Stalker.
Wonder Woman? Probably a Broad Sword / Invulnerability Scrapper

But I'm drawing a blank on Green Lantern.

That's a tough one.

I see Green Lantern as a hybrid of two ATs: Controller/Blaster

I'd have to do some research on Mids to figure that out.

Either Force Field/Energy Blast Defender or (if you wanted a balance more towards offense) Energy Blast/Sonic Resonance Corruptor. Hopefully in the future there will be the Force Field option for Corruptors as well, although with a lack of a strong offensive boost it will not be a very strong Corruptor Set, IMHO.

A Human Form Peacebringer would also be very close to Green Lantern.

If you are looking more for the Green Lantern type that makes things out of his ring and has them fight for him, an Illusions/Force Field Controller would also be a good option.

Note you would have to recolor the powers, but you'd probably want to pick a color other than green anyway so as not to get too close to copyright territory. (Although the color scheme of my namesake is no concidence, BTW. Neither is the fact that he is a FF/Rad Defender...)

Or an Energy/Energy Dominator.

Smash, bash, and grab/hold.

Domination is him pulling out the lantern for a quick recharge

Another option: Gravity/FF or Grav/Rad controller. It is too bad that you can't color the Propel items Green, but with all the creation of items by GL, Propel kind of fits. Plus the various controls from Gravity seem consistant with GL. He usually tries to capture rather than blast.

Grav/Rad works since it colors everything green already. Grav/FF would need the bubbles colored green. And just think . . . Singularity could be the Battery.

Some kind of Gravity dominator might work, too.

I haven't seen that "Energy Control" set yet . . .

It's not an issue of "haters" it's an issue of copyright infringement. Making a character who is part of the Green Lantern Corps (even if it's not Hal Jordan) would open NC Soft up to getting sued so we can't do it.

If you get reported for a copyrighted name/outfit, it's not by someone who hates you, it's done by someone who loves this game and doesn't want to see it suffer because of your ego.

It's simple. The makers of this game can't make money off copyrights they don't own. We pay them money. They can't let us use other people's property on their system.

Actually, it is more Trademark issue than Copyright . . . but the point is valid. Making a copy of a comic character is a violation of the EULA and likely to get your character "generic'ed." And it is entirely at the whim of NC Soft.

Years ago, Marvel sued NC Soft over copies of Marvel characters that could be created in this game. The parties settled, but any lawsuit is expensive in time and money. It appears that NC Soft probably would have won, but NC Soft still has a duty to try to stop trademark violations.

Force Field/Energy Defender.

Detention Field is your 'hold'. I mean, GL seldom blasted anyone he encapsulated.

Just be wary Green Lantern is copyrighted; making 'The Lime Lamp' or the 'The Aqua Torch' is a great way to get generic'd.

I have a number of GL-ish toons. Illusion / Force Field troller is the most accurate I've come up with, though the Peacebringer w/ no shape shifting is good too.

Besides which, Kheldians ARE the Green Lantern Corps, they're this universe's version of "alien forces joining with humans to fight evil". Why make a Green Lantern (TM) when there's a perfectly good Cosmic Hero concept in this game?

The shape changing is new, certainly, but as mentioned, you can go pure Human Form if you want to.

As for a Blaster or Dominator, while they're certainly options, I personally balk at the idea of a Green Lantern concept that cannot use his power defensively. Yes, you can restrain foes for damage mitigation, but Green Lantern puts up shields. It's one of the primary uses of his power.

To each his own, though. Some people don't like the concept of sacrificing what they think of as overwhelmingly strong firepower for defensive capability. Which is fine, that's what Blasters and Dominators are for.

I'd say a Gravity/Force Field Controller or a Gravity/Energy Assault Dominator would best fit a Lantern-esque character. I'm leaning towards the latter.

Take Propel either way.

If you absolutely hate Gravity, then you could probably make things work using appropriately colored Electricity, Ice, Fire or Earth...

Yeah, I'm thinking perhaps Gravity / Energy Dominator with Mace Mastery for the Scorpion Shield and PFF.

But the "appropriate colors" would be one reason for the generic hammer, unless you used something other than green.

I have a Gravity/Energy Assault dom in Praetoria whose powers are solar in nature, with yellow/orange colored Energy Assault. Fun concept, but man, I'm finding it hard to level her. I'm hoping that will improve as she gains levels.

Nice! That reminds me, I need to respec my 50 MM with Mace Mastery so she can get PFF, I think that must be relatively new to the set.

Edit: d'oh! I just realized Mace Mastery for MMs doesn't get PFF.

That was my intent, yes.

That's because FF MMs get PFF.

And that was a lot of acronyms.

True, but I did see one episode where he allowed his foes to attack themselves when their own attacks bounced off the bubble. And he could contract the shield to "squeeze" foes into unconsciousness, if he wanted to.

Detention Field is quite useful, but could still use some tweaking. That's not a conceptual issue, though, and conceptually it fits quite readily.

As far as the OP question,a Energy/energy blaster might work as well.
Emerald Radiant is a Rad/Energy Defender. but he was made long before power color customization came about. After it came out, his blasts were green.

I would say that a */energy Dominator would work pretty well.

Earth control/Energy Dominator using Crystal animations...

I might have to do that sometime.

Hmmm. Topaz Terror is an crystal animation Earth/Earth dominator.. I guess I pretty much already did.
