..I must have missed that bit of story or don't remember, unless it's revealed in the Minds of Mayhem trial.

They may go the Captain America route.
Statesman isn't just one man. Hes an ideal.
Anyone who should prove himself worthy, shall wield the power of Statesman!

I could see this. I keep saying the real reason Tyrant keeps attack Primal Earth is actually because he's in love with Statesman. He hides it behind a lot of bluff and anger but its obvious really. Typical boy! *tsk*

This is a song about a super hero named Tony. Its called Tony's theme.

How about this? The incarnates defeat Praetorian Hamidon.. but only after irreparable damage to Praetorian earth. The incarnates defeat Tyrant, but don't kill him. Cole, after seeing his Praetorian dream decimated surrenders. But before he goes on Trial for his crimes the Batallion attack Primal earth.

Without Statesman Primal earth see's Doom. Cole, being the Wells Champion assists the Primal Earth Forces with what's left of the Praetorian force to combat the Batallion. Cole falls in love with some Primal Earth heroette and becomes a hero once more.

Cole becomes Statesman for Primal Earth in the final battle against the Batallion.

You mean like all religions?

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan.

If the player is suppossed to take up Statesman's role (as they said was the case with the reason of killing off Statesman)...why would my character need any help beyond taking on the minions while my character takes on the big bad solo!

"YAY! I'm Statesman!" *gets knocked out by a minion* "But I feel like Synapse!"

Actually at the end of WWD4, Positron takes over the Phalanx in Statesman's place. The player won't be the new leader. I hope not, at least. RP will get really wonky.

Anyways, yeah it's confirmed States dies.

No more wonky than it already is due to the nature of the story. "I defeated Frostfire!" "No, I defeated Frostfire!" "Look, I had seven other dudes with me and we all defeated Frostfire, but you two weren't among the seven!" Everybody being the leader of the Freedom Phalanx is not inherently different than everyone saving Mender Ramiel from Reflections in the distant future.

And then we can all wear our Guy Fawkes costumes and claim to be Spartacus.

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Sounds exactly like a comic book story to me.

Main Hero: Mazey - level 50 + 1 fire/fire/fire blaster.
Main Villain: Chained Bot - level 50 + 1 Robot/FF Mastermind.

BattleEngine - "And the prize for the most level headed response ever goes to Mazey"

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Hmm.

Hero 1.

The natural replacement for Statesman. In Ramiel's Incarnate intro arc, we capture him and release him to Vanguard for rehabilitation.

When Statesman dies/leaves/scoots off to wherever, Hero 1 rises once more to fill the vacuum of power.

Discuss.

Not before he is tagged with a radio transmitter so we can study his migration habits.

Turns out he just goes back and forth between the Wentworths in Atlas Park and the AE building.

Since it is now clear that "all of this stems from his [Wade's] desire to be more powerful than anyone . . ." all I have to say is . . .

I TOLD YOU SO.
