Jedi Anne (Truss's wife) has a Mastermind like that. Mr. Fuzzbutt is the evil genius. The robotic exoskeleton is just there to convey him into battle alongside his minions and carry the rifle. :)

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.

I wrote a character like that for a GURPS multi-genre tournament I did for a Dexcon ten or more years ago... the player character was a sentient cat with psi powers, with a teenage girl who thought she was a witch (and that he was her familiar) as his dependent...

Five years ago I was a four-stone apology. Today I am two separate gorillas.

A recurring idea for a Ninja MM: Ninja Minion no. 2, looking exactly like the tier-1 ninja, with the others named NM no. 1, 3, and 4. No. 2 is just a helpless mind-controlled minion of the Oni Lord Futomaki, at least that's what he claims every time they bring him in for trial...

Back in the day when I was playing CoV, one of my SGmates had a ninja MM that used the costume matching deal with his tier-1 minions for PvPing. Made him harder to pick out of his self-made crowd.

It would have been an accidental shooting, had he not reloaded... twice.

There was a villain group like that at one point. It wasn't restricted to Masterminds, though. So, on occasion, Ninja Minion Roku was actually a Brute...

Oh, I'm not dissing it - I've seen some very nicely designed "angel" characters. I even have one of my own, though I really made him to counter an absurd assertion on the CoH Forum a few years ago and haven't actually played him. I just like running counter to the cultural flow sometimes. :)

I made him in response to someone's assertion, during one of those interminable arguments about the names people give characters, that "there's no worthwhile reason why anyone would ever begin a character's name with a period."

The sharp-eyed viewer may discern that he's kind of a riff on that episode of the original Battlestar Galactica where Starbuck and Apollo die and go to Heaven (or think they have, anyway), and the only way you can tell is because their uniforms have turned completely white. :)

As you can see, this was before weapon customization, and he's still standing in the parking lot at the beginning of the tutorial. Maybe I should reroll him with a completely white rifle as well. Or make him a PB, so his wings actually work. You lose the rifle joke at that point (though it could still be his nickname from the War), but that might be okay, I'm bored with Assault Rifle anyway.

Also, was older Russian comsonaut suits orange at one point?

Eleventh Doctor: I never forget a face.

The Curator: I know you don't. And in years to come you might find yourself revisiting a few, but just the old favorites.

Have they? Ah, well. I suppose that means if I do start playing again at some point, I may actually be able to play the villain epics, though I can't say I have much interest in them, slaved as they are to the preposterous CoV backstory.

>Also, was older Russian comsonaut suits orange at one point?

Yes, probably; when I devised Ivan, the only picture I could find of Cosmonaut Ivan Ivanovich was taken with Soviet color film, with all that that entails. I've since run across another picture that makes it clear his suit was mostly orange; what I was picking up in the older photo was the olive drab of his parachute harness.

His costume fails on a lot of different points of authenticity, since the costume designer has (or had, last year) no properly astronautical helmets or jumpsuits.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one Gryphon. I like the idea that the villains have their own epics but having them be slaves to the "IT" group of villains for the game is kind of wonky.

One of the guys in my SG/VG on Virtue is hoping that they'll let the villain epics switch sides and let a Crab Spider fight Rikti in Steel Canyon-he thinks that would be cool.

Either way, it's a pretty damn cool toon you've got there, Gryphon!

yeah, as of Issue 17. While I originally looked at it favorably, in retrospect I have enough trouble budgeting time for all the toons I already have to be starting any new ones.
