the father son talk was touching, ...
and you know it's Darksied especially with everyone saying "something dark is comeing" ...

Also, the dude beating up Oliver didn't seem like he was a bad guy. When he saw he wasn't making progress with him, he would have killed him and moved on.... Not trade him for Chloe. Me thinkst he might be Orion, looking for Darkseid. If I remember correctly, he was always a hardass.

They need to go out with a bang. Like at least half the episode being a final fight between a fully suited and flying Clark and that guy. None of this wussing out with two or three hits in super slow mo that lasts a total of 15 seconds.

Fake Lex <<< Real Lex. Really cheap way of bringing Lex back. Also, that kid Lex creeps me right the hell out.

The only "following" of this show I do is when a thread like this pops up. Trust me when I say I'm quite sure I couldn't hardly tell you -anything- about it now.

Anyway for what it's worth I'm willing to accept the idea that the show somehow got much, much better at some point to last as long as it has. Go figure.

Since the Hulk is a biological impulse, that is often been connected with increased adrenalin, Bruce (or anyone) does not have the ability to stop the Hulk coming out... that's why he wants to be rid of the Hulk.

As for the Hulk being sympathetic. Depends which Hulk.
One type of Hulk is more like a child who wants to be left alone. This hulk is sympathetic, because it's everyone else constantly going after him even though if they just left him alone, he'd be harmless.
There are other types of Hulks that are more aggressive. The Green Scar is obviously much different due to his intelligence. And while is actions in World War Hulk were way over the top, I still find him slightly sympathetic due to his reasons.

This is why to me, Batman and Superman and many other DC chars are so much more sympathetic to me. Having the power to decimate someone, and even having a huge amount of fury, but still keeping it in check and trying to do whats right without hurting people.

Kind of like a football MMO. Hmm...

Hell no. Keep that crap out of this game.

I usually end up feeling that I should be doing something else other than waiting for an attack to finish charging up, that I could do more good using some other powers that don't require charging.

in other words,
3 slots: higher enhancement value
4 slots: lower enhancement value + set bonus = 3 slots (almost equal to)
4 slots gets you some hp.

Just go with the 3 slots. you don't need hp set bonuses.

With Ninja Run adding ~140% to both run and jump speed, and ~700% to jump height, the total jump speed with hurdle+NR is higher than running with swift+NR. In fact, unenhanced they will give you a higher jump speed than Super Jump.

As for the OP, I would actually flip it. Take Hurdle if you Super Speed so you stand a chance of jumping over obstacles out in the world, and because swift's run speed is so small an enhancement you probably won't notice it.

Consider Swift if you do Super Jump so you're not bunny hopping in caves and other door missions. Hurdle's not a bad idea there, though, because you can mix it with Combat Jumping while you're fighting and, again, it's base values are much higher.

The only time I default to swift was with Fly. Now that Fly maxes out with a single enhancement though, the only toons I will keep it on is thematic-run-fast-all-the time types.
