Still Dominator

Ice / Ice, Stone / Stone, or mix-match them

Costume is that of an animated statue.

This origin pack finally got me off my lazy butt and made me actually play my Spines/Regen, Epicflora. I was kind of camping the name hoping to get the desire to play her someday.

Might I say that despite being level 2 at the moment, the leaves cape and aura goes nicely with the gigantic tree-thorns of DOOM.

If I was an old man with that kind of robot, I'd feel scared for my life. It's just so ... uncanny. In fact, I'd have a heart attack daily running into that thing sitting there.

EDIT: Also, dear Japan: less creepy humanoid robots, more giant battle mechs! C'mon!

(picture is also a link to what it more-directly reminded me of)

Indeed, they should release a pack. Perhaps "Prestige Pack" would be fitting?

Unknown_User pretty much paraphrased what the in-game description of natural is: if it's possible for anyone (of your species) to be able to do it, then it's natural.

The grey line, of course, is that lower-level tech and magic (guns and swords, spoken-word spells, etc) can usually be picked up by anyone, but then it's up to you to decide which origin to use.

ReVision

Illusion Control / whatever

Whatever the random button gives you for a costume.

Martial Arts gets mentioned a bit. That and maybe Dark?

Erm, if this is a suggestion to add those types, I /unsign right now. The quantums are part of the reason I despise Kheldians.

As for the question itself: no, Soldiers face no inherent weakness nor have a mob trying to get the jump on them.

Speaking of incomplete zone pieces, how's about that construction atop Steel Canyon? It was even shown on a map-poster (the one that came with the Good Vs Evil edition?) that there was supposed to be an addition to Steel Canyon...

Live Patch Notes - 11/2/10

Y'know, I used to play the game with the mentality "click here to beat things up" and didn't read anything but the Trial Zone dialogue (Hollows, Faultline, Striga, Croatoa); but lately I've been reading as much contact dialogue as possible. It all kind of mixes because I can't tell which contacts are older than each other, but it's nice to be getting all these facts that I've been missing up until now.

I also found it interesting that by "updating" the Praetorian arcs (which I did read through the first time), they didn't just retcon it all.

EDIT: They should really pay the storywriting dev(s) overtime to play through every storyarc in the game before they write anything new.

Aitchuu, you're kind of deviating away from the comfort-zone of the Mastermind skeleton... but maybe it's a good thing? Someone with more experience will come along and let you know on that.

Fury is built not only by the attacks you attempt, but also by the attacks foes direct at you. So, as long as you have foes attacking you, Fury shouldn't be an issue even with Granite slowing you down.

EDIT: of course, less foes means less Fury generation from them, but I assume if you need Granite that that means you are surrounded by a good enough number of them to build Fury.

Perhaps the upgrade powers shouldn't be traditional enhancements to the henchmen's existing abilities, as with other sets, but instead a psychic-based, mentally-induced upgrade akin to what Mother Mayhem does to make her "children."

Agreed: interesting idea, bad implementation.

I like this idea, but I'm going to play devil's advocate here:

1) wings/capes would no longer be blocked and would clip through it
2) even with no endurance cost, it's another toggle to have to manage
3) it would have to be a power pick to be customizable
