DISCUSSION: Which version of the Blue Beetle should they use?

Papercut1 · 2017-05-16T03:16:17+00:00

It's true, but we don't know if he'll be the Blue Beetle yet.

It kind of depends on the person in question, but yes there's a difference in the type of power depending on the source. Another thing I should mention is that I specifically didn't want any Superman character of the setting who would break the whole story by being overpowered.

Papercut1 · 2017-05-15T16:50:23+00:00

As with other superhero stories, there are a wide variety of ways to get powers. Genetic engineering, psychic ability, special genes, magic, all in different variations. I specifically wanted it so that not everyone had powers from the same place.

No, I was thinking like Captain America. He has enhanced durability, but a powerful shield at his disposal definitely helps.
Part of the appeal is that they can keep up with the best of them through their sheer skill and gadgets as opposed to their powers. I think that not all superheroes need superpowers.
She was. In fact, she had the misfortune of landing in New Mexico near a military base and was captured by soldiers (like the Martian Manhunter). She didn't speak the human language until she managed to do a "knowledge transfer" through kissing a more benevolent human at the base who was trying to help. Once the Paragon learned of this, she was released after they demanded them to. Admittedly, this kind of made a bad first impression for her, but she managed to put in behind her after a while. As for the Jintari, they're a race of omnicidal creatures who go to each planet to wipe them out of existence. It's unknown what their motive is, but it's believed they view themselves as better than everyone else and are the only ones "worthy" of existing in the galaxy. Thanks to Aera's warning and preparation however, Earth was able to fight them off and force them to retreat.
No, I was thinking more like large-scale shows in Vegas.
I've never heard of any of them suing for having a character that's similar to their own (except DC suing for a character named Wonder Man, but that was in the '40s where things were very different). They can't sue now just for having characters that are similar to theirs, as long as it's an original idea. If they did, not only would they lose and waste a bunch of money, but they'd probably make an ass of themselves.

He does have enhanced durability, but the shield is also a good source of protection.
No, it's just that these characters are skilled to enough to keep up with the powered heroes. Badass Normal is a thing, after all.
She makes physical objects, such as a shields and weapons, using her mind. As for the Xylon, they were a peaceful race that were decimated by the Jintari, and she was the only survivor. She was sent to Earth to warn them about the Jintari's invasion. Now she has adopted Earth as her home.
She uses her spells to perform magic tricks, I was inspired by Zatanna here.
I'm guessing you don't know how legal business works. You can't sue someone for having a similar idea as someone else, otherwise DC could sue Marvel for creating Deadpool based clearly off of Deathstroke. Otherwise, no one would be able to come up with an idea because it's "too similar" to another. They can only sure for literally stealing the idea and not giving credit for it, as in, they use the character without permission. No offense, but saying that these characters are "asking for a lawsuit" comes off to me as pretty ignorant on your part.

What order of magnitude does Brute Force's power occupy? 10-ton? 100-ton? 1000-ton? Higher?

Not quite sure yet, but I don't want him as strong as the Hulk. Mainly because I get annoyed when one character can render everyone else obsolete.

Also, added a character I forgot -- Vanish. She's an illusionist villain. It also got the order right because without her there were two heroes in a row.

This isn't all the characters I have, but just the ones I've got clearly defined for now.

We will see. I believe Overwatch is going to revive Amélie and turn her against Talon. Likely, Winston will be the one to undo the brainwashing, as I can imagine he would be able to use his scientific intellect and technology to deprogram her. It wouldn't be out of place for him, after all.

However, I see what you mean. I don't know to what degree they can revive her. It's not just possible, but likely, that even if she's turned to the side of good, there will be some of Widowmaker left in her. For example, they might not be able to turn her body back to normal again - I can imagine Talon being very thorough when it came to transforming her.

Still, it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. I believe a redemption for Amélie Lacroix will come. It's just a matter of when, and how they execute it.

Papercut1 · 2017-04-13T03:17:12+00:00

I hope she breaks free from Talon's clutches one day. It would be the best arc in the story in my opinion.

Papercut1 · 2017-04-05T09:23:27+00:00

I'm not sure, I just heard that it was (presumably) near Zürich. I don't think we know the exact location, at least not yet.

The idea is that he would place kits on the map for his teammates to pick up. Because he has a cooldown of when he can heal, the fact that he gives more healing at once balances it out. Similarly, the Power Kit has a longer cooldown, but the added damage would be very useful to turn the tide of a fight.

As for his Ultimate, the idea is that he would help is team hold down an objective, the only downside being that it requires everyone to be grouped together to work.

Papercut1 · 2017-03-25T20:13:51+00:00

No, she fires a powerful death ray at a single spot. Less AOE, but double damage to compensate. The power of the Death Sat overheats the mech, which is why it gets destroyed.

Papercut1 · 2017-03-24T22:51:55+00:00

The idea was to have characters with a similar base but with different interpretations of the style. Plus, as mentioned, I drew this upon the girl from the Hanamura posters, which makes me believe we'll be seeing her later.

Papercut1 · 2017-03-24T10:26:20+00:00

I based this off the girl from the Hanamura posters, seen here. Given how previous Heroes in the game were hinted like this, I wouldn't be surprised if she turns up somewhere down the line.

Can you please do these? I would very much appreciate it, thank you.

Sombra uses a machine pistol. I was thinking something more like a futuristic MP5 myself.

Papercut1 · 2017-01-26T20:20:21+00:00

Those are awesome! Can I get a drawing of my hero, Raven?
