I'm not talking about the dev.

The Character has always been portrayed as an arrogant jerk.
This is another time that I wish Troy Hickman could have carried on with the CoH comic. His take on Statesman in "Smoke and Mirrors" was an excellent one, and I really think he could have made the character interesting as well as noble.

You are correct: Statesman is pretty much a jerk in the comics elsewhere, while in the backstory to the game, he is an inspirational and selfless leader. In the backstory, 1,000 heroes willingly follow Statesman to almost certain death (800 die) in the Alpha Gambit so that the Omega Team could enter the portals and disable them. The arrogant Statesman of the comics could not inspire anyone to follow him anywhere.

Where have you gone, Troy Hickman, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you...


"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

I have a crush on Jonathan Frakes, and that translates to Eiko having a crush on Jimmy Temblor. Being a villain, she thinks the solution is to kill Fusionette, then Jimmy will be hers.

So my only question is..........is Lady Jane - Fusionettes mother?

They both exhibit the same lemming style battle choices.

Am I the only one who likes Fusionette? When most of my highly played characters team up with her the bad guys are usually too busy bouncing off the walls to even know who their fighting...and then they're dead. Fun times!


@Doctor Gemini

Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.

But then I never really understood the appeal of Shipping or Die For Our Ship.

This next line will be my revenge for linking to TVTropes.

You've been warned!!!!!!


Wait, there's incestuous necrophiliac MK fanfic out there? Did not need to know that.



Muahahahahah!!!!!!

I like the pairing, personality-wise they seem like a good match and they make a nice couple. It also helps that I think with both of them the devs did a good job of matching their personalities to their powers.

Actually it's a problem with a lot of combat NPCs. Based on the new version of Maria's arc the entire Freedom Phalanx except for Manticore have a large does of lemming in their DNA. I think the problem is the devs gave them high perception (to stop them from getting lost) but then set their AI to aggressive so they attack whatever they can see. Statesman and Lady Liberty are by far the worst but Positron is pretty bad as well.

I say FEH to all this Statesman/Tremblor slash yaoi!

TOTALLY MANLY!!!!


Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."

Synapse isn't manly. He's a closet emo.

He tried cutting himself once, and nearly sawed his arm off before he could stop.

In truth, I don't mind her much at all.
My first mission with her, I was one a blaster, and I was able to basically shoot things before she could see them, and then when they took few steps WHAM! double blaster, double barreled beatdown!
My next time was on a tank, which meant I was able to keep everything taunted AND she provided some MUCH needed additional firepower to compliment my tanker's dismal damage output.
The there was the time I was on a scrapper. ... Poor girl was struggling to keep up with my scrapperlock.

I remember doing the Maria arc, I died, and while I was on the ground, Statesman flew around the entire room (it was a big room by the way) and cleared it, it would be awesome, except for the fact it made me feel weak, all I did was hit something, and he would fly over to it and deliver a Knockout Blow straight to it's face, knocking it all the way back into Praetoria.


@Blaze Moon, Blaze Moon the 2nd

This is where something more interesting than my global and this sentence would be.

No, I think she's cute, and Jimmy is a good pairing for her.

Aww, he has Jim's 6 pack and Statesman's arrogancy...wait, he was born with his powers! We can officially call him BNY a mutant.

I think his arrogance stems from his Half-Mask-Is-It-A-Mask?-I-Don't-Know compressing his brain. Infact, that's probably the reason he gets curb stomped a lot.

"Blessed with godly powers! CURSED with a stupid mask-thing!"


I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...

*searches* Why, so you did! All credit to you, Utopia. You're onto something awesome with Statesline.

I'll pay 20,000,000 Inf for a banner shipping Statesman and Faultline to use as my sig. Something romantic and sweet like this.

If someone could make a wedding banner with all of us crazy people involved in bringing Statesline together, that would be the most epic thing ever.

I'd make one for free, but I don't have a model of Statesman yet
