Just because Marvel has Magneto doesn't mean they own the concept of a being that can manipulate magnetic fields.
The Flash runs fast, but we have Super Speed. Does DC own that?

I know I'm coming fairly late into this conversation but there are like 3 different heroes/villains in DC that use Magnetism as their powers. So no way does Marvel hold a license on thre power itself. In case you're wondering who those DC heroes/villains are. You have Cosmic Boy, Dr. Polaris and Magenta and two of those characters are older than Magneto. So any argument about Marvel and magnetism powers doesn't hold water.

I don't understand why it makes no sense to you. Don't controllers pull a forklift outta thin air?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, they create wormholes that pull them through and use gravity to propel them at the target, hence the name of the power, "Propel". And only Gravity Controllers have that ability. For a Tanker to pull a forklift or car out of nowhere and then throw it, falls outside of the tanker/super strength concept. The way I see it, I think the whole tanker concept has tobe re-worked, as Statesman sees it. I mean, when I see Super Strength, I see someone doing INCREDIBLE amounts of damage NOT taking it (though the two often walk hand in hand).

Responding to Hapheastus' reply to yours:

they open up wormholes.... things get sucked through em.... a tanker just picking up a forklift that isn't there makes no sense. what makes sense is the dev, slow altering the static nature of the game to allow for that sort of thing. Crates, cars, trees.... that you can interact with. Windows you can smash... walls that can be bashed through. That will be no mean task.

I agree completely.

Now if we can just get hurl on the propel animation line I can finally grab the attention of a mob by heaving a forklift at him, and isn't that what this is really all about?

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with you there but what's the explanation for having hurl onthe propel animation line? The tanker pulls a car out of his butt and chucks it at the bad guy? Makes no sense to me. To have hurl worl porperly, the entire environment would have to be reworked so that it it's fully interactive.

I just got Propel for my 6th level controller and I LOVE the way it works. If only Tankers were treatefd that well

Nice work Krunch, let's hope that these changes get implemented.

As an aiside, I've used Invincibility to great effect to aggro huge chunks of mobs to me, thus making me feel like I'm pulling my weight when I group. Just thought I'd throw that out there. This is one Inv/SS Tanker that has NEVER taken Taunt and has no plans whatsoever to take provoke.
