I will admit that there was some actual LOLing when I read "Soup Control."

Okay, I just had to make a failed villain for this contest. Wonder if backstory will matter too?
Edit: NM just noticed that it doesn't.

I'd settle for a chest mounted one from the "Failed Workworks," especially as an alternate animation to blast powers. Seriously.

Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
Look, it's nice that they got away from the VIP server and now are also opening this up to Premium and Free players, i was just hoping that they'd server hop more.
As i suggested months ago, rotate the servers that hosts these Dev held CC's.
Spread the love! (How fitting this time of month.)

Clearly this is Hami's powerset . his original form change was to a bowl of broth but repeated use of his PBaoEs from that set caused him to congeal into the form we see today. :P

That always works for me...

I hope whoever wrote this (Beast, was that you?) is also an in-game writer.
I LOL'd. I don't usually LOL. I grin. Occasionally I chuckle. But this was a full LOL.
Well done whoever you are, well done.
Beasty is the best...
He is keeping my dream of the Shoulder-Mounted Hamster Launcher alive...
Now the devs only need to work on the "Ride-a-VIP" travel power...

Well, it's on the wiki now--that means it's real.
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 you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

You can order one online. All you need to do is also order the shoulder-mount harness accessory.

One corn-themed winner I could buy, but two? Seems biased to me. Probably the judge from Iowa again.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
Not every hero or villain can be a winner. For all the heroes with the power to alter the laws of nature, there's bound to be one who drew the short straw and got Soup Control. For every villain who's developed a device to subjugate the minds of citizens, there's one whose evil aspirations never got beyond inventing a shoulder-mounted hamster launcher. For the February installment of our monthly developer-judged costume contest, we want to see your ideas for a failed hero or villain!
Use any combination of costume pieces, and perhaps a name that doesn't quite cause criminals to rethink their villainous ways (or a name that doesn't inspire fear in the hearts of do-gooders!) and head to Pocket D on the Virtue Server, February 24, 2012, at 11:00am PST (2:00pm EST, 7:00pm GMT, 20:00 CET) and 6:00pm PST (9:00pm EST, 2:00 GMT, 03:00 CET). You will not be judged on your biography, so make sure that your concept is clear just by looking at your costume and name!
As always, each semi-finalist will win a NPC costume code, and the top 3 will win VIP Game Time! Hey, even failed heroes and villains can win once!
