Not only do I find myself *not* finishing most of these quotes, I find myself sadly wondering what I was supposed to be finishing them with. "Sadly" because I'm familiar with the sources.

Putting aside that the animations seem pretty darn vanilla to me, "classic comic book blasting" often involves knocking people back.

This is the episode I was reminded of, though it was from the more recent series so it couldn't've been seen in the 70s.

Pinball is tech.

I think the idea would cause far too much outrage if implemented, though it wouldn't affect me much. I rarely make Scrappers or Brutes. I tend to favour Tankers over them for the inherently higher defensive capability (particularly important for me as I tend to eschew Tough/Weave and do not diligently delve into IOs). And then Stalkers because I generally like stealth-based classes.

Ah, thankee. My brain can let go of that niggling detail now and commence with pestering me about other things it can't quite recall - probably some sort of song lyric.

These will never be more awesome than the Porn Star EAT released in Issue 34.

I'd pick number two, but I primarily look for sturdiness in a character.

In any case, my chief concern would be that the AT had adequate mez protection. The lack of it is a large part of what has made my Peacebringer frustrating to play (endurance problems being the next largest issue).

In my personal opinion, "imitation is flattery" up until you're making money off of someone else's work.

In my experience, many artists regularly draw/craft images of existing characters as well as their own. Indeed, for centuries "creativity" has involved the creation of imagery drawing on existing materials as much, if not moreso, than creating them from scratch.

I have always enjoyed drawing existing characters as much as my own. I've always enjoyed the thought exercise of creating them in various RPG systems. I once enjoyed crafting various vehicles/robots as closely as I could with LEGO blocks. And in any video game with good character creation I will inevitably attempt to create various existing people/characters (aside from this game, I think one of the best games for superheroes was in the WWE: Day of Reckoning series on the Gamecube).

But none of that means beans to what you can get away with in this game. While I have several costumes saved that are recreations of existing characters, I tend to behave myself on Live. Though I did have to argue with the GMs over one character, I made a slight colour change and haven't had a problem since. On Beta I'm far more likely to go with blatant copies.

A quick question: I was finally making a bit of progress through Dance with Dragons (before all my attention got devoured by a shiny new game) and I got to the part where Tyrion starts travelling with Griff. Who is Griff, really? I feel like I should know, and the banter between him and Tyrion seemed to hint at the identity as if I should know...
