Post Your Speedsters

Bout that time again. This time lets share our super speeders. Also share what powersets were used (since there is obligatory super speed associated attacks). Since I can't work my print screen button, I can tell you he is heavily based on the Flash (more closer to Zoom actually). I decided to mix up the powers by making him an Elec/Fire Brute. The electric melee is a bit of a no-brainer for a speedster, but the fire is supposed to be a friction shield.

Celeres - Kinetic Melee/Electric Armor: The idea here is that he builds up kinetic energies with his super speed, generating both attacks and his armor


Argonaut Lambda - Kinetics/Dark Blast: He's granted mastery of kinetics by Hermes, allowing him super speed as well as control over kinetic energy. His dark blast powers are a gift from Hades.

Here's mine.

I've had many speedsters over the years, all of which were inspired by the flash one way or another.

First there was Quick-Fire, my Fire Blast/Energy Manipulation Blapper..





Then there was Nitrosurge, which I am ashamed to say nolonger exists.. He was an experiment in which I tried to roll a Fire melee Scrapper but take none of the "swords". Fire Melee/Electrical Armor.



Next came Ricochet Racer, my Dual Pistols/Energy Manipulation Blapper.





Most recently however, Timepulse was born. Electric Control/Kinetics Controller.

Has anyone tried to make Breakneck's costume in the game before?

Here's mine:

Martial Arts/Super Reflexes

Mobilise
Kinetic Melee/Energy Aura Speedster. The idea is he passively absorbs all kinds of energy and can choose to either metabolize it and fuel his body to super human levels, or generate kinetic force blasts to give himself a motion boost, or both to hit max speed.

Lots of great stuff here. I've long admired Mobilise, which I think is one of the best examples of 21st-century style of superhero design. I find myself completely incapable of capturing the modern design zeitgeist, so I has the envy.

Ricochet Racer is drop-dead gorgeous and the opposite end of the spectrum, evoking the pulp and Golden Age of superheroes perfectly.

And to round it out, Mr. Velocity exquisitely captures the burgeoning Silver Age design of characters like Whizzer and Speed Demon.

I'll have to get some screenies of my speedsters, although none are as good as these three.

Here is my female speedster Fox Race.

Here's a couple of mine:

Greased-Lightning


Kinetic Avenger

The concept of the speedster lends itself to a "spandex" look, which is both the traditional comic book superhero look and one that it seems I almost never see in CoH. Understandable, considering the abundance of non-spandex choices we have. But every single one of the spandex-esque costumes here are wonderful and a reminder of how much can be done with just the basics. From the elegant simplicity of Fox Race to the dynamic duds of Mr. Velocity -- well done, everyone!

I thought it was about time to post my speedster. Bionic Blur a Claws/Super Reflexes Brute. A victim of the Hamidon, Blur lost much of his hands and feet. Given the opportunity, he (figuratively) jumped at the chance for his now mangled and useless limbs to be replaced by cybernetics. He got more than he bargained for after Berry's modifications. After attempts to clean up the streets of Praetoria, the veil was lifted, blood was shed, and he crossed dimensions into Primal Earth.

He is inspired by The Ballad of Barry Allen by Jim's Big Ego.



Alternate Primal Earth costume:


P.S. I peak at about 291% recharge.

Hey does this include Ninja Run? I tried SS a few times but always respec'd out
of it immediately (lack of vertical was unacceptable). NR on the other hand is awesome.

Either way cool idea for a thread and some nice designs (TimePulse is really exceptional and Zoombie is hilariously awesome).
