Retro Sci Fi Costume Set: Rocket Packs! - Vote for what we make!
I voted B but... wow, I've been wanting costume jetpacks for so long, just knowing something is coming make me silly happy.
Global name: @k26dp
B, please.
What kind of retro space pack requires fewer rings!? What planet are you from? Nofunlandia?!?

Voted "B", it is the only way!
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
I chose A because it has less dork than B. Yeah... it's the rings. I'd pick B if not for them.
Edit:
I forgot to say that I really hope they have the same tech as the rocket boots do so that when you activate a flight power some sort of thrust appears and when you deactivate the flight power the thrust deactivates as well. Otherwise I will kind of be disappointed.

I have saved your image for later reference, it's not retro, but it is cool. You can console yourself by knowing it's in our thoughts.

I like it and I'm glad you're considering it, but that particular "jetpack" is much more than just a backpack-sized device. The pilot literally straps into it and flies it like a miniature helicopter. It's much larger than any of the other backpack-based temp flight powers you've done so far.
If you seriously managed to replicate the appearance of this device then any argument you might have against being able to give us other vehicles like motorcycles will make absolutely no sense. ![]() |
Superheroes don't have to give a crap about physics though, so it'd work just as well scaled down to half (or less) of the actual size.

Choose B. Would be awesome if the rings had like electricity running across them like tesla coil-ish... cant wait
How about a rocket with a saddle we can ride on the back of instead of a rocket that rides on our back?

Gah, A and B are both great ... but since I have to choose 1, I'll say "B" by a narrow margin.
Pssst - make both!
(Incidentally, if the devs were somehow able to come up with a way to select different MM henchmen really fast and released Beastly Mastery around the same time, they could release a Pack Pack. If a new buff set were introduced to allow costume details, such as rucksacks, on the animal henchmen, they could create a Pack Pack Pack.)

I want all three in a Rocket Pack Pack!!!
If I can't have all three then I like B best. |

B reminds me of The Rocketeer, good stuff
hard to choose 1.
can we have all?
I like A & B, but I guess if I had to choose, I'd say B.
The retro-rings are nice on B, but A seems to have less "ow I'm burning my legs" risk

OMG, could you imagine if the rocket pack actually looked like the saucer section and nacelles from the Enterprise, and your body was that middle part!!!!!!!

Rocket Pack Pack sound like the best option here.
