Animations for a scythe would have to be different or they risk looking very strange. I still want a scythe power set though. Looked cool with with a very limited move set in .Hack//GU, the Devs here should be able to make something really wicked |

To be fair, the giant weapon phase of Marvel's history is about the time the comics took a nose dive IMO. Not necessarily because of the giant weapons--but the association is not a good one for me.|

... If you're argument is that Marvel, DC and western comics don't use gigantic swords or characters use "realistic" weaponry it's a very bad argument. |
And IMO Cable is such a fail character, I'd love to see him and most of the 1990's retconned out of existence.

I'm still hoping that they keep the doppelganger tech for allowing pets from other sets to be element-clones of the character. Like, Fire Control could summon 3 fire duplicates of themself, but they always have a fiery aura while Illusion could summon phantom versions of themself (both Phantom Army and Phantasm) which follow the scheme for decoys. |

I'm looking forward to the two-handed set, EVEN IF IT WILL BE LETHAL DAMAGE and feeling totally gimped at high levels, haha. XD
As for Serene Sorceress - ooh, will she have any links to Primal Earth's Apex? The man spent YEARS in solo missions in Praetoria, according to his new bio, so maybe we'll find out along the way what he did in Praetoria?
From paragonwiki on his comic bio - "War Witch comforted him, saying to take heart, as a new War Witch may look to him for guidance in the future" - HINT HINT?

No need for the clones to have the exact powers of the original toon.
Illusion, they could still go around with PA/Phantom Army powers, just look like whatever costume you're wearing.
Same for any of the pets.
I'd love it for some of the Lore Pets as well.

Yeah basically, they only copy the player's costume, their powers still remain as pet powers (in the example, Fire doppelgangers get brawl and enhanced speed, and Decoy doppelgangers get their illusion psychic attacks of fake element swords or fake physical attacks).

Perhaps give us something like this?
Or this?
Or how about this? Anyone think an oversized glowing Vanguard version would rock?
Bear in mind that these weapons ARE considerably bigger than the hand-and-a-half swords that the current broadsword set uses.
Throwing in some more lifelike huge blades along with the great big anime/hulk-style stuff would definitely give us more options- those who want the hulk look can have it, while those who want something a little more realistic can have some goodies too.
