The Generic Bat....

When the Increbidle Hulk got hit with the bat, they sent me an email allowing me to rename him.
Also, they messed-up his costume, I set it back to the way it was before.
Although I did give him blue instead of purple pants.

During AP33, I rerolled him up on Freedom and got him in one of the instances.
A developer commented that I liked the costume designer.  I figured, hey the game's gone only a couple weeks let, who cares.

I had one that really should have gotten generic'd to blazes.

I came up with an idea for a character homage to YellowJacket named Pym Particle. The really bizarre part of this is my concept had my hero as some shlub working as a janitor and stole some Pym particles.

In my defense, when I quit collecting Avengers, there was no Scott "Clubber" Lang.

fortunately for me, I couldn't get an outfit I liked for him and killed him off before long... now my Wasp ripoff was pretty spot on (Rad/Nrg fender). :) 
Cogito, Ergo... eh?

Ah, I made a yellowjacket homage, too.  But, after getting everything set, I went back and re-imagined everything to black and turquoise, changed his powerset to fire/energy and made him the (fire-breathing) Dragonfly.  He's the only toon I ever made where I used one costume slot for his Secret civilian ID.  Made it full-sized and put him in a suit.  Then, made a key bind to fire off one of the change costume animations and switch to the tiny little Dragonfly costume...

Anybody ever get grief for an "homage" toon?  I had one guy give me a real hard time about my Booster Gold lookalike, including the line, "Why would you want to waste your time trying to look like *him*?"

Ah, now I'm wanting to hit Icon to try to recreate some of these homage toons.  I made a pretty spot-on Mr Miracle... but can't for the life of me remember how, now.   :o

Can't imagine why no one ever does Pym's 80s era red one-piece Gizmonics Institute jumpsuit.

Paragon Avenger

I want to do a tribute to Danger Mouse, Mighty Mouse, and Speedy Gonzales, but the game doesn't let you do tiny mouse characters.
Of course if I did Danger Mouse, people would ask why is Pinky and The Brain wearing an eye-patch.

I always wanted to do an "homage" toon to all the various Flashes (Jay, Barry, Wally) but whatgood is a "speedster" in a game where *everybody* can have super-speed if they want it?

I had on one server all 12 free slots with Legion of Super Hero toons.

I never played them and only logged them in to the game so they would be saved.

I just did them to see how close I could make them to the comic book outfits. (turns out you could make some almost perfectly)

Also did the same for the JLA and JSA, one different servers.

Paragon Avenger

But any mouse characters?
I didn't think so.

If you did Mickey Mouse, Disney would probably buy NCSoft just to shut the game down.

I got it for a mastermind to on I named orichimaruu. I purposely my spelled it. I even explained that the name was misspelled and it was a part of Japanese culture lore. They still said too close to naruto
toon...
That's sad I never got genericed, I had:
-a Fire/Elec blaster "Sasuke Kun" since i1 or i2 in both original blue shirt and in all black
-I also had 2 different MA/SR "Rock Lees" the 1st I deleted out of boredom
-The Evil Shockwave nrg/nrg blaster which I created in i1 or i2 with side switching in mind before villains was officially announced lol
-"Ryo of Wildfire" brute eventually renamed as a precaution, has sub armor, full armor, and armor of inferno costumes

After that i got more creative with the names (most of which I won't be giving away hehe):

-the 2nd Rock Lee was a recreation that would eventually have both the all green original look, a combined 5 gates with chuunin vest costume, Mirai Trunks Costume and a Sagara Sanosuke costume(Kenshin)

-"Tough as a Trunk": SR/Will brute Optimus Prime eventually took a shot at the RID Scourge colors as way to play this toon in public

-a Post Skip Naruto and Yaruichi tribute using  Stalker powerset

-a Brute you would think this was a SF shoto tribute but instead I made him a Mirai Trunks tribute(The croatoa arc helped me complete the look with a broadsword and energy blast) would have really loved to try to Solo Jack in Irons with this toon and those temp powers. Snaptooth would have gotten REKT in 5 seconds

-scrapper who had costumes covering Amaterasu'd Raikage, 2 for Static, and MK Deception: Raiden

-Master Manipulator/Manipulative Swordsman/TheOneWhoWillStandInTheHeavens I flirted around with numerous names for this Ninja Blade/Ninjitsu Stalker with a penchant for confusing the senses

-I named all my Bot henchmen including Incarnate Pets after G1 Autobots(with 2 exceptions), the 3 car bros, the 2 ambulances, guess lol. Then there was Omega Supreme + Elita One(those red goodguys), and Nightblade + Jetfire(battlebots) as well as some clockwork but I don't remember the names i gave em
Chance Jackson was my Global, I mostly played on Triumph Toons: LIEGE CHEETATRON X - Bots/Traps/Mu lvl 50 +3; DOWN RIGHT FIERCE - SJ/Fire/Soul Brute lvl 50 +3; FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE -KM/Nin/Fire Stalker lvl 50 +3; TIME MAY CHANGE ME - Time/Sonic/Dark; INFERNAL SAMURAI - DB/Fire/Fire lvl 50 +3 replaced by "NITORYU" - DB/WP probably a brute; THUNDEROUS BRUTE - Elec/Shield Scrapper; And Many More!

I named a toon, Cheese Sandwhich and got banned from the game for life.
Luckily for me, that was the day before the announced shut-dwon so they waived their bannishment.

(just because it never happened doesn't make it untrue.)
