Canon is City of Heroes. Re: patch day.

You know how I feel about what happened to Statesman. But Tyrant isn't him. Same face, same person, different universe.

Here's hoping somebody pounds his face into the asphalt.

Hey, my mun is going to be grabbing a hero from your world too if he can get one together.

Any tips from you or your mundane?

[urbanhero]

Huh? [This makes her pause.] Uh... well, I guess it all depends on what kind of hero you want to be. I'm a Scrapper, so it's all hand-to-hand.

I'm not sure, really. Long-range? Melee? Tanking? Crowd control? There's all kinds of heroes in Paragon City. So every style is good! -Except maybe if they're evil.

[loves_nature]

All I really know is she's going to be a magic user. My mundane loves magic users. Oh and she'll be a hero, just kind of darker than some heroes.

[urbanhero]

...Oh. Then I guess she's a Blaster. And a... oh, shoot, what does the PPD call 'em? -Rogues! That's the term.

[brainyglacier]

That's the spirit, Axey! It should be a rule of basic operation that all freaky bizarro-doubles have their faces broken, I think.

[urbanhero]

"Axey"? That's a new one. [She likes it.] Especially evil bizarro-doubles. Marcus Cole or not, he's going down big time.

[ironvibe]

Oh, lemme guess-- it was a loss for Heroes and do-gooders everywhere and we will always remember what he has done for the people of the world and we will fight on in proudly his name and blah blah etc etc.

Though in your defense, they are pretty different. Tyrant's got a cooler costume.

[urbanhero]

[Effing smeg. She just seems to attract all the ne'er-do-wells, doesn't she?]

Button your lip. Statesman was a great hero. Nobody- not even Recluse- deserves to die the way that he did. Show some damned respect for the dead.

[ironvibe]

[He just cannot resist taunting the sense of justice.]

Hey, hey~! I'm not trying to diss any ghosts. I mean sure don't want my sorry ass haunted, even if it's Statesman of all people. I'm just making fun of all the guys left behind that want to live up to his awe-inspiring mantle. Big difference.

And you gotta admit, his helmet is kind of stupid looking.

[urbanhero]

There's nothing wrong with wanting to uphold his ideals. Everybody's got somebody they kind of admire, right? [And let's face it. The Surviving Eight are kind of awesome. -Well. Surviving Six now. Dammit Wade.]

Tyrant has the same helmet. So how exactly is his costume "cooler"?

[ironvibe]

[Shrugs~] I'm not a fan of Hero Worship, really. The way they just go on and on about how goddamn amazing he is is just hysterical!

Tyrant also doesn't have a big ass stupid star on his chest and red and blue colors of love and justice or whatever.

[urbanhero]

[She just... raises one eyebrow.] Name me one other person who survived a nuke at point-blank range. I'll wait.

Yeah, but he's evil. Have you seen First Ward? Did you not notice when he tried to invade our world?

[ironvibe]

We live in a world of mutants, freaks, and super-powered rocks. I'm sure there's some sap out there that can look a nuke in the face. Come to think I'm sure there's some ghosty out there that could probably survive a nuke point-blank, for as much as you can survive something if you're dead.

But yeah, I've seen the First Ward. Even stumbled into Praetoria once myself! Just because he's evil doesn't make his costume as stupid as Statesman's.
