If You Could Make One More Character...

Was there something called "Savage Melee" in the works?  I guess I missed that bit of info.

I'd probably fiddle around in the character creator for several hours and end up getting nowhere either because I wasn't happy with the powerset choices, or I was coming up dry on character concept, or once I got past those two roadblocks I'd find that the name I really wanted to go with the concept and powersets was taken and I'd be back at square one.  Eventually I'd settle on a Bio Armor/Stone Melee tanker, make it some variety of catgirl, and call it Krudmuphyn the Destoryer (the "the Destoryer" bit would have to be in the bio, of course, and the misspelling is intentional - it would read "bio removed by Krudmuphyn the Destoryer").
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

General Idiot

There was, references to it exist in the game files for I24 beta up to having power icons and everything. It was likely planned to be a store bought powerset between I24 and I25.

The Fifth Horseman

We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

Would this, by any chance, be based on or inspired by the Nuclear Winter of Freedom Force? (link goes to a gameplay video of the mission where he first makes his appearance)

Soviet spy Sukhov, after exposure to Energy X and a long nap in a liquid nitrogen cold-sleep, was transformed into the frozen, radioactive monstrosity known as Nuclear Winter.  He quickly put the deep freeze on Patriot Park, using it as a distraction so that he and his frigid, freeze-ray toting troops could steal a nuclear weapon from a docked aircraft carrier.  Fortunately, Minuteman and the Freedom Force both stopped him cold and disarmed the bomb before it blew the entire burg sky-high.

I'd make another Tank.  Pick the primary and secondary sets that everyone said most "sucked" at the time. Those almost inevitably end up being the most fun, especially when people you're teaming with are incredulous that you're actually using those sets successfully.

But basically any tank.  Just use my Wheel of Random Powerset Selection to match something up.

no hero

I'd combine my Tanks: Shield / Energy + Elec / SS = Shield / SS.

Foot Stomp (Punch Animation), Shield Charge, Foot Stomp (Punch Animation).
Samantha:  "I have to ask you a question. It's a good one so think about it. If a Player and a Game love each other, but they just can't seem to get it together, when do you get to that point of enough is enough?"

Jerry:  "Never."

Never played Freedom Force. The idea was something along the lines of Mr Freeze reinvented as a radioactive Soviet Russian (of course empowered in the Chernobyl disaster).

Gah! By now we'd be seeing stuff for I-26. New powersets and so on. :: Sigh! ::

What would you have liked to see in new powers, new costumes and other things?

Cendwar

I really really wanted to finish my Spines/FA scrapper. Spines was my favorite scrapper set of all time and I never really got the chance to make one since I wasn't back in the game for long. The blazing aura/quills combo just sounded brutal (on endurance too).
Champion Server: Cendwar Dark/EM Tank - Vehement Ragefire SS/FA Brute - Desolation Within Spines/FA Scrapper - General Hoffman AR/Traps Blaster - Thoughtfire Plague FC/PA Dominator - Bash 'n Slash BS/SD Scrapper - Dream Slave - BA/EA Brute

Megajoule

I was going to make a blaster, come I24.  Probably Ice and/or Fire.  A sorceress.

Nuclear Winter, a Radiation/Ice Blaster.

That was my Rad/ice blaster's name.  He was a tech at the Terra Volta reactor who, in a mishap between the heroes and the Freaks, he fell into the reactor core right when it was being hit with coolant.
Beware the mighty faceplant!

Garble

The Wind Control powerset looked really interesting. And since I've always been a sucker for themes, I'd have made a Wind/Storm/Mu controller with a Sylph-spirit concept.

FlyingCarcass

I'd make either a mind/psy dominator or a VEAT.

JaguarX


Lucretia MacEvil

Illusion/Time controller.

I understand that this combo had a lot of potential and I always wanted to try it, but I would get horrendous (read: death-causing) lag every time I made one, even at low levels!

If I could make one that was lag-free....
