I can thing of a few that spend the majority of the time that they're engaged in the business of superheroing in flight. I can also come up with a few overweight characters - some heroes, and a few that would be more at home in the other side of the game.

I hated most of the first season, but I found the last episode interesting and have been sorta enjoying the new season so far.

I watched the most recent episode right after watching the recent Atop the Fourth Wall review of a Teen Titans PSA comic where Linkara rants about Speedy doing "China Cat", and about his daughter getting killed in front of him... the coincidence of which made the episode more amusing for me.

Ah yes, the extremely physical act of floating lazily along avoiding the use of your legs and pointing a justice-dispensing hand at bad guys. I wish I could do that exercise program in real life.

So... you're thinking it's Aquaman?

Yes, those sorts of boring human motivations. Not that I ever said a good story *couldn't* be made of them, nor did I malign writers who were constrained to such areas.

That explains the distinct dog odor.

As a TV series, I think superheroes in general are the problem. The only way it seems they get a pass is if the superheroing is extremely watered down or sidelined.

Where's our live action Spider-man series? Or Daredevil? Is Incredible Hulk the most recent TV series Marvel has managed to produce from their major characters? Wasn't that Gen X TV movie rumored to be a pilot for a possible series?

Thing-a-ma-bob Thursday!

I have Willpower, but how many times can a knee be capped before it gets ridiculous?

I wouldn't say that they were "crappy" simply because such a character was outside their scope. For all I know, they could excel in areas they're comfortable in.

I'd imagine that the problem with selling a Wonder Woman pilot to a network lies more in the expectations and lack of comprehension of network executives than anything else (or studio/studio executives as the case may be).

He tends to have that effect on people, in my experience. I've begun to wonder if he or his avatar are SCP material...

So, you're saying that DC characters are harder to write for for writers who have trouble grasping characters that lack boring human motivations some or all of the time?

Didn't she fall in love with her superhorse/centaur?

I find Adblock Plus for Chrome to be pretty useful, personally.

Is Lobo all that prominent these days? It would seem a bit odd, though they'd probably claim his extraordinarily lascivious behaviour was over-compensation...

I like the phone calls presumably from some guy in India who claims to be a Microsoft Certified tech who's tired of looking at reports about how many errors your computer has. He wants you to run Event Viewer and be scared by any events logged therein and go to some website that will probably either give him access to your computer or else prompt you to download and run a program that'll do something malicious.

Didn't that Batwoman die?

I'd be far more interested in an enhancement that turned an Immob into a Hold, too.

Right, it seems like we'd both like similar ends as far as customisation goes. Even if we can't agree that monsters are people, too.

It was in a live action movie a couple of years back, too. I believe it was a french movie about a werewolf hoax, and if I recall correctly the whip sword in question was made of bone. Brotherhood of the Wolf, perhaps?

It was't intended as a cheapshot, as I've enjoyed reading the bits and pieces about the character in question. It was meant to bring the explanation close to home, as it were.

You and I must have different sorts of visual memory. Monstrous details stick with me quite vividly. I can produce pictures from memory and imagination of beholders of various style, bulettes, werewolves, kobolds, etc., but as many times as I've seen pics of Elminster and Blackstaff I couldn't make a pic readily identifiable as either without a reference at hand.

I could give any given male drow two swords and pass it off as Drizz't though, because his monstrous traits are strong identifiers.

Similarly (and again, not a cheapshot), I might be put in the mind of your character by any largish green woman with a sword. I don't recall any specifics of her outfit(s), it's the monstrous traits that linger in my mind's eye.

I honestly don't think you could make a costume in this game that, in itself, would make me stop to read your bio. There are exactly two things (other than being asked) that have made me check bios in-game: interesting character names and down time between action.

All of that aside, this is, to me, a sort of visual semantics. I would see little real difference between the more realistically shark-like man with hair, clothes, and glasses added and one with less realistically shark-like features and the same window dressing. To me, it'd be just like seeing multiple artists draw the same character in their individual style.
