Logic dictates that it'll BABs who bites the dust. However, I'd much rather see Statesman go. He was written as a Mary Sue for much of his early appearances (just check the backstory page on the main CoH site). He went from dropping Rikti motherships single handedly, to 'um'ing and 'ah'ing over whether gaining power from the Well of the Furies was a good idea or not.

Give him his obligatory 'heroic' death and let Hero-1 take his place. It's about time he came back fully anyway, after all we did [spoiler] rescue the Honoree from the Rikti[/spoiler] and thus opens it up for his full return.

May Excalibur shine in the dawn once more. Long live Hero-1: The First, the Last, the One.

Meanie.

Though truth be told, I am not averse to the deaths of signature characters. I am averse to their deaths being MEANINGLESS. (The same goes for them being brought back.)





*SPOILERS**SPOILERS**SPOILERS*

For example, Hero 1 and the Omega Team go out in a brilliant flash of glory, destroying the Rikti portal and saving the Earth. 50 lives given to save BILLIONS. (Except for Ajax, but he's another story...)

A couple years later, we get the Lady Grey Task Force, and guess who's at the end... true, a Rikti-fied, warped, and twisted, but very much ALIVE Hero 1. Sent back to slaughter the very humans he sacrificed his life to save, after being turned into a weapon by our invaders. And then we see that faintest glimmer of humanity begging for release even as he's giving us a beatdown. THAT, for a lot of players, was a major impact moment. Did we have any problem buying this? Not for a second.

On the flip side, in the very same TF, we get Glacia and Infernia, who also survived Omega Team's assault, and have been in hiding on the Rikti homeworld for a few years before sneaking back. Alive, well, and "hey fancy meeting you here." Ummmmmm... no.

*ENDSPOILERS**ENDSPOILERS**ENDSPOILERS*



If the writing team offs Positron in a truly heroic way, sure it'd break my heart (and Sora's, but that's yet another story), but damn, if it's done right and players are talking for years about it (and in a good way)...

... then yeah, Paragon's Geek in Shining Armor could very well buy it.

Tbh i don't think any hero will truly be killed off. maybe something like long time coma or something but gives time for another to take its place for a while...i mean..whats going to happen to the taskforces if a main hero goes perma buy buy..get rid of it? ...maybe rename it for a while with a revamp of it.

Id personally kill Swan herself if I could rip that feathered cloak of her shoulders and wear it.

Personally Id like to see Manticore die, and Sister Psyche get some post love drama, and then go on a rampage of all rampages threatening to destroy the very balance of the universe!

Seriously!

Maybe that why he was taken out of that badly butchered picture with his quiver still there.

Duh, Backalley Brawler.

He runs bartertown......er Galaxy City so it would make sense to drop the first nuke on his cranium.

It won't be a character that has a TF attached to them. Too many other things would have to be adjusted. That puts BABs right in the firing line.

For my money though, I'd like it to be Blue Steel. He's always seemed a rather pointless addition to the signature characters. Besides, he spends all day guarding the giant penny he stole from the Batcave, and him being a cop and all...it's just not right...

Statesman is no longer suitable for that role now that we know he's Wellthulhu's little puppy and has been ALL ALONG.

Sister Psyche will be killed...

...BY MANTICORE!

No?

Well, Psyche dies, and Manticore goes kind of crazy and goes to war to compete with Calvin Scott for Mother Mayhem? Or works with Scott, makes the deal... "I'll take the mind and you take the body?"

Then -Manticore- -can- talk -really- -dramatically!-

Huh. This really is functioning like a mega-crossover event.


Still here, even after all this time!

Lord, if they do a horrible emo waaaangst drama thing with Sis and/or Manticore I SWEAR i am getting a flight to the US JUST so I can vomit on the writers shoes over how godawfully pants and predictable that turd is! Christ on a pogo stick, show some originality, people!

C'mon its been seven years, time to start killing some of them off.
In the interests of balance maybe kill one hero and one villain depending on alignment, and big shocker, the player running the arc kills them.
Be a pretty awesome moment for our characters to kill one of the big boys from the other side.

Yeah, but that makes him safe from actually getting killed, doesn't it? He's the Perils of Pauline character.

My guess is that they'll gradually release them to different game sources or on the forums.

400 quatloos on BABs.

His zone is gone and he doesn't give a taskforce, easiest one to remove without changing a shedload of content.

My bet would be synapse, speedsters always get the shaft in the comics. Plus it would be a great time to revamp his task force. Hint Hint


Freedom Server - Main = Lil Bug & way too many alts to list

Smart Money is on BAB.

Dev is gone.

Zone is gone.

Minimal appearances in PVE game. (2 missions and a TF)

And in Recluse's Victory?

A. It's an alternate time line, so what does it matter.

B. Removing him from RV would even the Heroes and Villains side. Currently, Heroes have six, villains have 5.
