So... when you do make a model of him, can you make an obligatory picture of Statesman punching out Hitler?|

I mean he's a golden age hero and that's pretty much a standard for any hero who was EVER created during world war II.

That would mean making a model of Hitler too, which isn't something I'm prepared to do
Tyrant will do as a stand-in

Well, given how you view tyrant, just slap a toothbrush mustache on him and palette swap his clothing and you'd be half-way there.

Well, this poster and its slogan that I made a couple of weeks ago is sort of similar

When it comes to Praetorian propaganda, Tyrant presents himself more along the lines of a televangelist when he's not posing as a "hero" or "guardian":
P.S. This thread is already messing with Google's image results when I try to find what, if any, posters feature Statesman.

Google the slogan, and you'll get Godwinned |

I don't get the pig with the lipstick joke. That link just heads to your ImageShack account not the thread you put the picture in.
It's from this thread:
http://coh103.gtm.cityofheroes.com/s...3&postcount=51
And it was made as a specific reply for a specific post

Yes, I know, ein, ein, ein, etc. The point is that Tyrant is a different kind of tyrant. Your other poster was right on target.|

But how come nobody wants to do a poster plugging Statesman? One would think that a simple Uncle Sam/Lord Kitchener index finger-pointing pose would have been done by now.
If anything Cole always seemed to style himself as a roman emperor and/or napoleonic style strongman.

There's also a strong element of the messianic to his propaganda (e.g. the come-to-Jeebus pose in the "Unity" poster).|

Statesman, on the other hand, doesn't seem interested in PR of any sort. Is that why people freely speculate about sordid secrets in his personal life and portray him in sig files as a piñata?

Statesman: I'm interested in Public Relations reputations of any sort, i don't care what other heroes of villains may think of me or see me as. What I say never matters in the end, such things are reserved for my other self of Praetoria, but what I do is what defines me from any other version of myself. And What I will do is always fight to for the right thing to the last, even when all that's left of me is these bones and my cape, that skeleton will still stand against evil until that too crumbles to dust!

I haven't read all the posts, but from reading both the books, I actually like Statesman. The fight between States and Recluse in The Freedom Phalanx where he startes laughing was great.
You have to remember that States is, to most of us, old. He was born in an era where there were different values. One of those being: You do what you have to do. You do it right, and you don't complain about it. Because everyone else has to do what they have to do too, and they don't have time to listen to you B*****. My Grandfather taught me that.
Guess, I'm in the minority. I like the character Statesman.
No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.

States can't figure out how to use his index finger.
That was a mean thing to say..I'm telling my mommy, and then you'll be sowwy

I wanna know what the rest of that bib says.
I can only make out "Thank Heavens"
Since this thread is A) too awesome to die and B) I just went through a Lady Grey TF and people were talking about "Pedojar" and such so...
GG, can you fix me a Mother Mayhem/Clockwork King picture?
