PA Joe's man "behind enemy lines" Base Jump. Paratrooper and infiltration expert, Base Jump's specialty is penetrating the enemy ranks leaving them raw and exposed.
I already have a Munitions femme fatale in the vein of the Baroness called Justified. Yes, I know The Baroness is a bad guy, but could she still qualify? I'll post pics when I get home.

i really hope to spend a decent chunk of time playing this weekend.
Gonna mix Munitions and Ice, but will probably pick up Regeneration for soloing.
Nooooooo
Luckily Hasbro had some serious innuendo going in that toyline. I'll find something else suitably hilarious when I get home.
Definately need our female aerial assault specialist Airtight, in Homage to the hostile environment Joe from the original series.
There's a bunch of other alpine themed Joes if you look around. It would be easy to make something similar without being too much like my Ice Job. I had this guy when I was a kid: Iceberg
did you try to find the scars option i mentioned? and yeah, try making BM the shortest possible with the highest fat/width/girth settings possible and see what happens
So what about my suggestion of having everyone in PA Joe each have one same power? I said AR before but now I'm thinking SMG.
Think how nice it would be to have a dozen guys spraying SMG everywhere. Nothing would live. And it would simulate the show quite well. And bleed effects man. Bleeeeeeeeds.
I didn't take the Bleed, because I wanted rank 3. They really should let us get highest rank + advantages.
That would sort of defeat the point :P

It would be nice to choose how much we want to emphasize a power, instead of getting extra ranks in stuff we use once a night simply because we capped our main abilities.

I'm pretty proud of First Blood, but man... Archery is a terrible powerset. Sonic Arrow does good damage, but the charge time gets annoying, and Storm of Arrows just sucks away all my energy without seeming to do much in the way of damage.
If those free retcons come along soon I might just switch her over to munitions or something.
EDIT: Specifically, that's the cap for the non-super strength bonus. If you super stat STR the bonus scales like any other super stat, plus the 20% max cap.

How many abilities do you use a night? Not counting passives/shield power, I use 6 of my 7 current powers at least every 3 encounters or so. I'm not sure what you're wanting about "how much" you want to emphasize a power. You emphasize it by putting more advantage points into it, right?

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. ~ Terry Pratchett
Yeah, but theres a cap of 5 advantage points, and most abilities have 2 2point ranks and a 2-3 point advantage, and some have extra 1 point abilities like metabolism and stuff. You can't get 2 ranks and an advantage because of the 5 point cap.
I never use ego weaponry, and barely ever use ego surge unless im breaking out of a hold. Ego Form's ranks only boost the bonus to damage reduction, and yet i'm getting rank 3 of all of those simply because I have extra advantage points to pump into them and I can't raise the abilities I use more often, Ego blade breach, ego blade frenzy, and eye of the storm, because they're full on points.

Super Teams in CoH:
Entire SG made up of a particular AT such as ill/rads.
Multiple 8 man teams blazing through missions/task forces/anything in their path. Can usually reach max level in a week.
What would be the optimum build to do this in Champions Online? In your opinion.
-Gadgeteering? 5 sets of healing drones, attack toys, and munitions bots.
-Ice? 5 people throwing up Wall of Ice and Ice Burst and Shatter.
-Munitions? 5 Gatlin Guns, Lead Tempests, Two Gun Mojo, Shotgun.
-Power Armor? Mini Guns and Shoulder Launcher.

That's really a separate issue, and Ego is kind of a broken set in this regard, because it is so focused on 2 abilities to the exclusion of everything else.

Well, same thing applies if you go archery, or dual blades, or claws. Theres only so many abilities you're going to use.
My Dual Blades will focus on Cyclone, Dragon's Wrath or whatever the momentum one is, Eye of the Storm, and the cone ae no cooldown one. I also have that root attack I only picked up to unlock cyclone earlier that I never use, and I dont rank up my EB.

since PVP is like PVE hard mode, my experience from that tells me 5 ICE would be the most brutal team. everyone can chill and everyone can get benefits from that chill. more imporantly, holds are killer, and AI sometimes attacks ice walls instead of you.
not using PVP experience. I would say lightning is the most brutal. NOTHING would survive 5 gigabolts, save for cosmics.

I don't think we are making copies of characters, but rather spoofs/homages of them. That way we don't break copywrites and what not.
This. However, yes, there is someone named Roadblock already.

Should I change the name? Or is it obscure enough....I can't think of something else to call him!

Tunneling is a fun travel power, and doesn't aggro anything, but you'll really wish you had some vertical movement as well.
Oh, and my PA Joe character uses tunneling as well, but he's more a generic homage.
