TRON universe-inspired char types?
I'm running a sonic blast defender with a Tron-esque costume. I've colored each attack with a different bright solid color--red, green, yellow, blue, etc. The overall effect, especially on dark maps, is old-school vector graphics.
(The costume is black with similarly colored Perplex pattern.)
Quote of the moment: This, too, shall pass.
Justice superteamers: We have a website now, in case the forums get closed early. If you've ever run with us, come visit us again before the curtain falls. We're running bucket list characters--anything you've always wanted to play but never got around to.
I have a Program Control (blue-colored Gravity) / Hacking Domination (green-colored Cold Domination) Controller. As well as a Viral Melee (green crystal Stone Melee) / Viral Armor (sickly green-colored Dark Armor) Brute. They're less out and out TRON and more a medley of TRON, Reboot, and the Tron 2.0 video game.
With the Controller, I have a menu full of macros to announce her abilities every once in a while. There's lots of good puns and references in them. In particular, when she disconnects enemies from the map server with Dimension Shift.

With all of the clamoring I've seen for ranged love of late, a thrown weapon set some time in the future would be interesting. Based on throwing a weapon that returns after striking (or missing) your foe. I can see a number of weapon customizations that would fit:
-disk (hello Tron)
-boomerang
-yo-yo of death (Rygar anybody?)
-energy ball
You could always just roll something with Kinetic Melee. Then you'll sound like a lightcycle
Interesting topic... I've thought many times of making a Tron inspired character, but it's hard with present power picks... which is funny because it seems like there are so many choices right now.
A combo of a mid range throwing device... a ring? A boomerang? A knife? Throwing knives? Energized playing cards (whoops).
I actually feel the blaster-ish Tron character isn't really doable with current sets, but the martial artsy-bullet time look to the moves might be closest to martial arts? I mean imagine martial arts with a disk in your hand as a striking weapon.... that's about as close as I can get.
Too bad you can't colour the jet board black/white or black/orange....

I would be interested in a "natural blaster" set: knives, throwing stars, carnie disks etc. I recall a comment that the rating of the game may change or thats not a direction they want (but, hey, we got Titan Weapons, so...)
My elec/shield is Tron inspired. Some of the tech weapons may work.

The Celestial weapons are all pretty TRON-esque.

The perplex pattern and vanguard weapons work well, as does the new imperial defense items.
Not sure about power picks, but as for a costume, I made one inspired by the newer Tron Legacy look. I used the IDF hat and Detail 1, Overguard for Chest and Legs, Resistance Chest detail, IDF shoulders, Resistance gloves (because the IDF gloves make the hands the same color as the glowy part, which doesn't really work), Perplex pattern on Legs, and Rocket Boots.
Though I am a good 14 months away from the Streak Path Aura (damn Reward Token gating...) I imagine that would look conceptually fantastic with slotted up Swift.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
Only one that even remotely comes to mind would be a En/En blaster, maybe?
