Quote:Though I DO follow you greatly in this I must ask you if you're sure on Killer Croc's science origine ?Originally Posted by Ironik
I always enjoy a good discussion that tries to parse the boundaries of something.
In the comic book world, the Mutation origin is pretty much defined by Marvel's X-Men. Offhand I can't even think of a character from other superhero universes that were referred to as mutations independent of Marvel's take on it.
For me the delineation between Mutation, Natural and Science comes down to specific thresholds. "Natural" is the baseline, normative human genome, with the slight variations we see in our world. "Mutation" is a change from that norm in utero. That part is key for me: Changes to your genes that depart from the usual before you're born. "Science" is a change to your body that happens after you were born brought about by some sort of man-made intervention. ("Man-made" as a stand-in for any directed technological procedure, whether the tech comes from ancient astronauts or alien invaders.) Whether that intervention is medical or chemical in nature is irrelevant.
Also irrelevant are the results. Throwing fire is the ability; how you achieved it is the Origin. (Of course it makes no sense that one can mutate into a human flame-thrower, but we'll gloss over that part of it.
)
So NPCs like Trolls and Infected are Science because they were born Natural but later became mutated. To reiterate, "Mutant" is a change that occurs while still a fetus, while "Science" is a change that occurs after being born. It's sometimes confusing because we use the same term -- mutate -- to describe both events. So I think delineating between being born with it or having it done to you afterwards is important.
Some examples of Science characters:
Animal Man
Bane
Beast Boy
Captain America
Captain Atom
Doctor Manhattan
Luke Cage (Power Man)
The Fantastic Four
The Flash
The Hulk
Killer Croc
The Lizard
Spider-Man
Synapse
As for a Mutation booster pack, I don't know what sort of power would be defined by it, since comic book mutants have as much variety as any.
I'm pretty sure he was born with his skin mutation (and yes he was further mutated in the Hush story line so that could have been science) ...
He's just one of my all time favorite characters and one of the few true mutants in the DC universe in my opinion.

Just wanted to know is the vet powers like Ghost slaying axe, Sands of Mu and Black wand recharge faster with powers like Hasten or with the recharge bonus from Elec armour (can't think of the name of the power right know, but I think it gives +20% recharge to all powers)
So anyone know how they work ?

I read somewhere that some controller holds supres the KB from Hurricane in the storm set.
Is this correct ? And what holds do supres it ?
Just wanna try build a controller with Hurricane but still be abel to get closer to those I hold.
And as an extra question, are there holds that can keep your targets held so that they are not repeld, not knocked back AND don't run from fear ?
Any advice ?

Oh I totaly feel you BlueBattler.
I LOVE dual boxing and making the story stick.
I've got a hero duo, Dr Intox (Rad/Rad Def) and Barbi-Q (Fire/FF Controller) who are scientist who fell in love after realizing their powers couldn't hurt eachother. I love this duo and realy get into the story. Sometimes I get extra angry when Barbi-Q gets attacked and so I work it out with Dr Intox ...
Villain side I have The Hungry Dragon (Bots/Pain MM) , who I just can't get tired off. His story is that he scouts out new arrivals in the Zig and busts them out as part of a bussines agreement. That way he had some rocking partnerships with BiteBack (EM/Elec Brute), Intox (Rad/Rad Corruptor) and The Insubordinate (SS/Shield Brute) ...
Hero side again I just started a duo who are "New" Ancient Spirits , Neon Dragon (Elec/Elec Scrapper) and Nicotine Night (Fire/Sonic Controller). They 'guard' the night life from Nightclubs to Pachenko halls and strip clubs
...
But my personal favoirte is a team I Triple-box
I have Maman Sans Coeur (Necro/Dark MM) who used her voodoo and the material she found in her junkyard to 'reanimate' those left for dead and hungry for vengeance. That's how she 'gave birth' to L'Abattoir (Claws/Elec Brute) and Vox Finale (Sonic/Sonic Corruptor). And as soon as I have a computer who can handle running 4 accounts at the same time, that family WILL grow
Ps: I know, I need help

Seems to be a problem with buying a US code for an EU account, or vice versa. You need to contact support.
Didn't realize I was buying the US upgrade
And as far as contacting suport goes that's kinda dodgy to but thanks for the answer.
Still sucks

Any of you guys having trouble applying the code from the booste pack once bought ?
Every time I try to add it to my account I get this message
You can't use the supplied serial code.
The supplied serial code is valid, but it can not be used to create a new account and it can not be applied to any accounts you already have.
What am I doing wrong ?
I wanna be a ninja to
