Discussion: Update to the Issue 21 Overview - Master Midnight!


Agent White

Percy Winkley never had respect until he took it for himself. Unappreciated and openly mocked by the members of the Midnight Squad, treated by the preening Montague Castanella like a dim-witted pet, Percy struggled for years to gain their acceptance. Time and again, he failed. All of that would soon change!

Learn more about the Master Midnight and his deadly rise to power now!

...that's not at all how Master Midnight looks in-game. Or was that intentional?

EDIT: Looks like the image was removed.

And also Master Midnight's identity was only given at the END of his storyarc, not the beginning. It was supposed to be a shock (whereas I had a "Huh?" since they never explained anything).

... And that's when Whisper (a short little wisp of a stalker, who beat the absolute snot out of him-) just shakes her head and calls him a dork.

Now that's a pretty cool back-story.

Now for some feature creep for next time. That backstory would have been an awesome cut-scene to be shown the player during the Master Midnight arc as his mini monologue.

Yeah yeah... time and resources and cost none matter to the feature creep!

Nice story - I should of done the first ward arcs first before reading that right?


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

Not bad, though, it seems odd to give a character bio a full issue late and to one who is already dead. It's a nice bit of fluff, but I can probably think of other characters more relevant to the general plot that don't have bios.

Still, well written.

Soooooo... Numina scores with Primal Earth's biggest technological geek, while Diabolique is the love interest of Praetorian Earth's biggest magical geek. Which just goes to show that smart guys don't want a woman for her body.

And now we have NumiTron (or Posimina, which I still think sounds like some kind of exotic tea), and DiaMaster (which I think sounds like a colon cleanser... or maybe an ab machine).

Amusingly, Primal Percy comes off as having the investigative skills of Lois Lane-Kent (pre-reboot), but with the unfortunate responsibility of having to solo missions where everyone cons purple to him.

Midnight Master came off as Foxbat. (any incarnation)

So, in a future incarnate trial are we going to find out this was all a dream?

He is still a dork. This dude needs to grow a pair in both dimensions.

Really makes me wish he wasn't such a total and complete PUTZ in First Ward, that it makes his overthrow of the Midnight Squad feel so laughably implausible.

Really. I don't know how the Praetorian MidSquad compares to the Primal one, but if we're to believe they're roughly equal, there's not a chance in heck a tool like Midnight Master (is presented to be in the FW arcs) could best them.




Edit: Also, those powerset can't be right. Yes he has zombie minions, that's fine. But I've never in my multiple times fighting with or against him ever seen him use a single Dark Miasma power. Ever. Ever.

He appears to use Energy Assault. (Or at least a combination of Energy Blast and Energy Melee powers.)

Well, there goes my theory on who's the big bad behind the Sig Story Arc. Unless Praetorian Percy is trying to give the powers to Primal Percy, hoping that will give him the feeling of satisfaction that defeating the Midnighters didn't.

Yeah but if Percy Winkley is this much of a BAMF in Praetoria, I shudder to think how awesomely evil Praetorian Fusionette will be.

We've already met the Praetorian Fusionette on the Admiral Sutter TF - and the Praetorian Faultline
