Lord Liaden Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Re: Foxbat? Why am I not surprised... It just wouldn't be Champions without Foxbat. He's a truly unique creation. Other companies have harmless loons, but they know they're loons (Creeper, Ambush Bug); or true crazies, but they're psychopaths (Joker). There's nobody else quite like Foxbat. More than Dr. Destroyer, Mechanon, or any of the rest of the stable, IMO he's the iconic villain of the Champions Universe, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Avatar Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Re: Foxbat? Why am I not surprised... He is one odd iconic villain...

Haerandir Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Re: Foxbat? Why am I not surprised... Actually, I think he has at least mentioned it. Edit: Yep, here we go: I mean' date=' sure. You can all be my friends, as long as you keep a steady stream of experience points flowing my way. But you can't be Exoskeleton Man's friend.

Scott Heine Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Foxbat? Why am I not surprised... Actually... CLOWN might work in an MMO where (as Steve complains) the organization fails in a tabletop RPG. But they would have to be reduced to "monsters with a clownish motif that need to be defeated for experience points or whatever" instead of "plot devices that exist to humiliate the players and erode their sense of fun." Still, I'd be really surprised to see them in there. What I'm wondering about is PSI... Will they be in there? How in the world would mental powers work in such an MMO setting and still preserve the feel of the characters? (Personally, I would find extraordinary pleasure in running into Mind Slayer in game... Mwa ha ha ha!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to see a grown avatar cry. Mind Slayer should work well in the MMO, though, since most of her abilities are fairly straight-up damaging Powers with cool visual SFX.

glenrm Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Re: Foxbat? Why am I not surprised... Foxbat was always a good starter villain. Obvious in his methods and underpowered. He would be great in the tutorial mission or the first mission in a newbie zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egyptoid Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Re: Foxbat? Why am I not surprised... Well some other ancient Champions lore also needs to be revitalized online: Dr. McQuark, and Strike Force , and other Allston goodness.

Lord Liaden Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Re: Foxbat? Why am I not surprised... Patrick E. Bradley did Dr. McQuark, though. He worked a mention of the Doc into his 4E Atlantis sourcebook, and a couple of articles in the pre-5E Digital Hero. So either he or Hero Games should have the rights to the character, rather than AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Re: Foxbat? Why am I not surprised... Foxbat was always a good starter villain. Obvious in his methods and underpowered. He would be great in the tutorial mission or the first mission in a newbie zone. And he would occasionally show up as a wild card too. You'd never know quite what Foxbat was up to ideally, and he'd usually find a way to escape even certain death. ("Was flying to Mexico part of the Master Plan?" "Shut up.")
