Ghost Widow has that one, including the rare 1000 (I may be exaggerating here ^^) mag Hold proc. in Soul Storm. In fact it's so rare and valuable because the proc. fires 'all of the time'.
A lot of NPCs actually have IO sets and, in one case at least, SOs named after them.
Ghost Widow
Mako
Manticore
Positron
Back Alley Brawler
Serpent Drummer
Dark Watcher
Lady Grey
Scirocco
The rumoured ultra rares that will never make it into the game are as follows:
Swan's Neglige - a Confuse set
Valkyrie's Big Pointy Spear of Doom - a PBAoE set
Castle's Power Negation - a ToHit Debuff set
Statesman's 'I Win' Button - a Global Def/Res set
Yeah! I was gonna say that some NPC's have IO's named after them. It would only be by right if they used them.
And as for the ultra rares I would love to see how they look if we can't get a chance to get em! -
I don't know if there has been a thread on this topic. please forgive me if it has. As i was in my character slot screen looking at what IOs to upgrade too "since I have the Influence now to do it."
It dawned on me as to which sets some of the npc characters like (States,Recluse,BaBs...or even some of the GM's) have slotted in their powers. And I was like heck...they may have some sets we can't even get our hands on or even heard of,LOL!
What do you guys think of what some of the npc's toting in their uber builds? -
Shouldn't Electricty control be added as well? I heard of a mention it was coming also.

For me, it all boils down to what's doing the work. A master swordsman can pick up a chunk of metal, wield it like a sword, and do super-human things with it. You can't just pick up a chunk of metal, slap it on your back, and start flying around. In that case, it's the jetpack that confers the ability to fly on it's owner and presumably it would work just as well strapped to anyone's back.
Things get a bit dicier with weapons and firearms, but at a certain point the ability to use them well relies less on the training and abilities of the person, and more on the weapon itself. Batman doesn't need his utility belt or high-tech gadgets to be a super-hero. So, I would consider him to be a Natural origin hero, someone who's super-powers come from his physical abilities and training. Yes, he has an arsenal of high-tech devices as well (as do most characters who rely on natural ability and training to some degree), but if you strip those away from him he's still just as formidable. Take Tony Stark out of the suit and he's pretty squishy.
Of course, there are a lot of gray areas between...much like there are some gray areas between natural and mutation, mutation and science, technology and science, or magic and natural.
wave a whiskey bottle in front of Stark and hes done,lol.
and first after redname ( my very first! )
edit*oh Despari beat me!

from further into the wiki article on Swamp Thing:
whatever the characters origins in real life, he's since been revealed to be something more, and his origin is most definitely magic. Batman originally shot people, but the commonly accepted version doesn't, just as, since Alan Moore revamped the Swamp Thing character, I don't think the original ideas have been accepted as anything more than misconceptions on people's parts (in universe of course, they didn't actually rewrite history...I don't think Moore can do that, yet.)
the version DC deals with today is magic so that's what I'm going with.
Thats understandable! I'm use to the very 1st origin of the character. I was brought up on him,Jonah Hex,Sgt. Rock and a host of others. Through the years all DC,Marvel characters have gone thru changes in the bio/and or cosmetic changes.I haven't read any of the today SwampThing issues...The Batman stories are the ones i have enjoyed thus far.

YW!. Yeah he's hella cool!

[QUOTE=craggy;2468985]Croc was mutated somehow in Hush, I think he's sometimes still shown that way (and sometimes he's just a big black guy with scary teeth).
Swamp Thing is Magic Origin. "Anatomy Lesson" 'Nuff said.
"The Swamp Thing character first appeared in House of Secrets #92 (June-July 1971), with the name Alex Olsen. The comic is set in the early 20th century, when scientist Alex Olsen is caught in a lab explosion caused by his co-worker, Damian Ridge, who intended to kill him to gain the hand of Olsen's wife Linda. Olsen is physically altered by chemicals and the forces within the swamp. He changes into a monstrous creature who kills Ridge before the latter can marry Linda. Unable to make Linda realize his true identity, the Swamp Thing sadly ambles to his boggy home"
Magic may have played a part but,He leans more so towards science than so Magic! Croc was born with the traits and he simply mutates more over time! -
Some examples of Science characters:
Animal Man
Bane
Beast Boy
Captain America
Captain Atom
Doctor Manhattan
Luke Cage (Power Man)
The Fantastic Four
The Flash
The Hulk
KILLER CROC?!?
The Lizard
Spider-Man
Synapse
[/QUOTE] Waylon Jones(aka)KILLER CROC!
"Jones was born with a condition resembling epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, a disfiguring skin disorder. However, it is actually a form of regressive atavism, meaning that he has inherited traits of ancestral species of the human race, such as reptiles. This condition has been augmented by the presence of a metagene. Consequently, he has several extraordinary physical abilities relating to his endurance, strength, and speed.
His skin is hardened to the degree that it is nearly impenetrable to ordinary forms of abrasion including high caliber weapons fired from a distance. He possesses a degree of super strength; for example, he was able to tear a bank vault door off of its hinges with minimal effort. He has demonstrated regenerative powers allowing him to heal and restore lost limbs and teeth. He possesses superhuman reflexes and speed, especially while he is moving underwater. Killer Croc also has an enhanced sense of smell."
Killer Croc would be labled Mutation! Now I would add The Swamp Thing in his place because he was transformed due to a chemical explosion in the swamp area where he was working -
Emperor Cole...Hah!
