Oathbound

According to this article:
"With that in mind, the only thing I was sad about in terms of a younger Justice League was that there wasn't going to be Jade and Obsidian..." -James Robinson

The implication is that they won't exist, not that they just haven't been seen yet.

We don't know.

At the Player Summit the Devs said something about hoping that players would be mature about color selections... which kind of implies that it won't have the strictly limited color palate of the Ice sets, but we won't know for sure till it actually goes into Beta.

I really hope it has the more versatile color palate, the Ice palate really is horrifically limited.

Indeed. It's established "Word of God" that Aang's 100 years in hibernation counted against his Avatar lifespan.

The only other Avatars that we really know the lifespan of are Roku and Kyoshi. Kyoshi was the longest lived Avatar at 230 where Roku died at only 70.

Kyoshi is noted for her exceptional lifespan (among other things), so her age isn't a great reference for determining an Avatar life expectancy.

Likewise, we know Avatar Roku's death wasn't of natural causes, so we have no way of determining how much longer he could have lived beyond then. However, Roku definitely appeared old enough.

Looking at Kyoshi and Roku, if we only count Aang's active years, 60s certainly would seem early for an Avatar, but counting his century of suspension 160s seems like it's actually fairly long.

Yeah, it was nice seeing someone finally bend like the old days. I'd had the feeling this entire time that the benders were being seriously downplayed, so I enjoyed seeing her let lose damnit.

I won't say the thought didn't cross my mind. I mean, if anyone could figure out a way to block bending a Water Tribe healer (and bloodbender at that) would be the one. (Not that we have reason to believe Tarrlok was trained as a healer, particularly since that used to be "for women," just saying it's a possibility.)

Given the look on his face when Korra accused him of being just like Amon though, I'm more inclined to believe that he's just a skeezy little bugger who's taking advantage of the situation (and even intentionally exacerbating things) so that he can seize power.

Certainly seems that way.

It really seems like the specialized bending skills have spread like crazy in the last 70 years.

Used to be Toph was the only metalbender, now there's entire police forces using it.

Used to be only the Fire Nation royal family could be lightningbenders, now there's an entire city powered by them.

Bloodbending used to be virtually unknown... who would even teach Tarrlok how to do it? I really can't see Katara showing anyone else how to do it. Did he figure it out on his own?

Uh, please no.

I'm already tempted to start referring to the whole group as "Alphabet Soup." Seriously how am I expected to keep it straight (*snicker*) if ya'll keep adding letters all the dang time?

But Praetorian Penny is also Good...

UGH! I haven't even tried playing my kheldians with this yet... that's going to annoy me to no end.

Indeed.

It also seems rather (entirely) counterproductive to turn one character gay, at the expense of an already established gay character.


Edit: Eh, so reading the article it seems like they had decided there wouldn't be a Jade or Obsidian first, then decided to make Alan Scott gay instead. Meh still seems like a dumb move.

Yes. I read the power list thoroughly. I still wonder if that's going to be enough to differentiate the sets, given just how similar the rest of the powers are.

You could pair it with the upcoming Water Blast set for the general "Nature" theme.

All of the information that is Officially Available can be found using the forums.

The reason none of the set's specifics are available is that they haven't been announced yet. The only reason any other site might currently have more info on these sets is because they were leaked during beta by someone going through the game's files in violation of the user agreement.

1) Yes. Yes it does appear so.

2) No. That seems to be a different nondescript superhero with a dark colored cowl and flowing cape. He has funky lil bracer-bits and doesn't have a high collar.

Yeah, it's just that the people who know the more detailed info are wary of "speculating" because they don't want to get in trouble. (Technically all we're supposed to know about the set is what we were told at the Player Summit... which is basically just the power/set names and the order.)

I would "speculate" that this is fairly accurate, though Overgrowth belongs in the Buff list, rather than the Heal list and Raging Tempest might need to be moved into it's own Control list.

He was also Jim in the much too short lived Kitchen Confidential with Bradley Cooper. (Which Fox cancelled after a whopping 4 episodes, after having put it on Hiatus for baseball after only 3 episodes. Seriously how on earth do you expect a show to work like that?)

Oh yeah, Nicholas Brendon (Buffy's Xander) was also in Kitchen Confidential.

The wiki lists Uncanny X-Men #265 from August 1990 as the issue that confirmed them as an official couple.

Honestly 1990 seems pretty early on, like she was at the forefront of the movement to include LGBT characters in comics. (Maybe it only seems that way to me cause I was only 8 in 1990.)

For the last 30 years, apparently:

Excerpt from Destiny's wiki page.

Eh, I can see where the guy's coming from, but I still think I'd have preferred a new gay character over the "coming out" of an existing character.

The main reason why is that depending on how it's handled and how the character continues to be written I'm just afraid that if the character's storyline takes a turn for the worse, it'll be associated with the change in sexuality even if the parts people don't like are completely unrelated to that specific change.

It's one thing for a new gay character to just not turn out well but I just don't want the possible decline of a favorite kind of character to be linked to their being made gay.
