Discussion Topic: Comics & MMO's once again

Written by Toby Davis

Before anyone starts screaming fanboy my way my favorite Comic Book character is Ghost Rider from Marvel. This Christmas for me was only going to be a Ghost Rider Christmas till torchlight went on sale from steam and changed the plans. However this discussion is about more then just this if you read it.

How ever with this being an MMORPG it appears to be a time consumer. As far as I know most MMO's take away time from other games. Like Demian Linn said in Episode 30 of the Mobcast, "He just didn't give any other game the attention it deserved". With DC Universe Online taking shape it has been getting more and more of my attention with any sort of news that comes out.

With everything going on and even if you don't like DC, but a Marvel guy. What kind of Super Hero or Super Villain would you create and what would your powers be and why?

I am really excited for DCUO, been looking forward to it for ages now.I would create a Supervillain.He would obviously have to be super smart, and if you can give another power, then super-speed.I'd give him the brains so I can come up with OTT plans and doomsday devices and the speed because if you hit someone several thousand times a second, it doesn't matter if they are super strong, they will go down.

Invisibility. I would rather watch and observe than fight for any "good" or "evil" camps.

If I could squeeze in a second one it would be immortality. Imagine being able to see the extent of human civilization.

Cool topic Toby.

@David so you would like Immortality, but does that mean you age as well through the years as well?

Can I go with an Occult based super hero, such as Hellboy(Powers:Nearly impossible to kill, His right hand is stronger than anything else, and he is a demon.)? He's always been my favorite hero type: Created for evil purposes, but chooses his own path.

@Toby, well I wouldn't mind aging as long as it happened really slowly but if I was immortal I would imagine that aging wouldn't happen.

Oh and it would be an immortality that wouldn't prevent me from dying in battle or something. I can have my head chopped off but I won't die from time.
