@necrommander: All kinds of messed up stuff use to happen in comics. Hal Jordon was sleeping with an under aged girl, Frank Miller was turning every female character he could get his hands on into a prostitute and so forth.
Misconceptions of your character
@lady_liberty: Civil "forced" fans to upgrade their suspensions of disbelief lol
@lady_liberty: Oh you mean from a business perspective. I'm talking from a writers.
@damian_carlisle: @nikademus: @lady_liberty: I'm going to just let this serve as my contribution to the commentary:
@lady_liberty: Ugh. This is why I stick with Masters of the Universe. Absolutely no sexual undertones there! None at all! :P
@necrommander: Nothing at all suggestive about a man who gets his powers from his giant sword ;-P
@nikademus: Civil War was the best idea with the worst execution.
@lady_liberty: Okay, fine! He doesn't always use the sword, though! Sometimes he has to subdue giant snakes with his bare hands!
Sentinel Hawk watched the grenade fire and explode and was grateful for the audio dampener installed in her helmet. Don't need my ears ringing. "What do you need me to do?" She asked the MORS, trying to remind herself to act better as part of a team, she still struggled with that from time to time.
One cannot really "talk" to a M.O.R.S. because yes, they have human shape, but lack the same type of intelligence of humans. They are more linear in thought process, like machines/computers.
With them being organic drones that have no concept of true self awareness or thought process beyond what the mission is, they lack tactical know-how of even the most base of concepts. with conceptual knowledge perhaps being something like a mish-mash between a terminator or dolphin. They can talk, but only with things they know how to say and more often then not, when they do speak , it's a program command or something they are relaying/ordered to say.
As a member of Maverick, one would never at all consult any M.O.R.S. because attempting to consult with one is like asking a war dog what to do.
Hence my response.
The M.O.R.S did not give her a response, as it wasn't programmed to. Indeed, it lacked the mental capacity to indeed offer any kind of response. It more or less ignored her, not acting towards her because it did not see Sentinel Hawk as "Munoz." It saw Sentinel Hawk as "Non-Hostile entity."
This is the reason as to why their entire army isn't composed of them. They can't do complex tasks like that. They're more like terminators with animal-like instincts and tactics, who just happen to use guns and act sort of like humans when they aren't biting people's faces off.
@maverick_6: between terminator and dolphin is a pretty wide range. Dolphins are the most intelligent beings in the world, after all. Edit: It was second-most intelligent.

Then, think of them as cybernetic, ruthless, terminator dolphins :)
@maverick_6: do they have frikkin laser beams?

Naamah Prime is not a demon, she is a Goddess. Lesser Naamah is not a demon, she is the avatar of a Goddess. Eufrit is as Lesser Naamah, save for slight cosmetic differences. Naamah Prime has a soul, her avatars do not.
@naamah_obyzouth: I thought the word avatar litterally meant a Spirit in a body? Or god spirit or something.
- The Avatar of my profile does not accurately reflect how Argus appears when he does his blogs or appears in public. In all of his blogs or streams, he a wears a mask that protects against facial recognition scans and against retina scanning. In public, he can look like basically anyone.
- Ballcap and hoodie are usually worn on the rare occasions he does vigilante work himself.
@admirallogic: Naamah Primes avatars are basically extensions of herself. They only exist because she Wills it so. For an example Dark Naamah represents only one part of Naamah Prime, her Dark side. In order for Naamah Prime to maintain balance within herself. All of the residual energies manifests itself in the form of her avatars.
@naamah_obyzouth: Ahh, ok. Thanks.
Most named people of Maverick aren't very well known. Only Bold is, because he interfaces with the public. Information on Moya and Bradshaw can be found with digging as they have lived very conventional early lives. Actual, true Infiormation on Nemaz and Jackal is difficult to find, and as far as most any government can reach, practicaly non-existant. Prometheus is diffcult to find out about and has very little unmonitored interface with anyone, due to being an AI.
Is nowhere near an "elite" or "complete" level martial artist. As a normal human operating without the aid of didactic memory or photographic reflexes, Ishmael's combat progression remains a slow yet steady evolution. He'll never become an accredited "master" of every form of martial arts as its simply an unrealistic achievement. This then forces him to careful focus on particular skill sets and techniques in an effort to create a consistent foundation, rather then picking up and dropping various forms. There just simply isnt enough time for him as a human to 'master' the incalculable number of every martial technique.
Both his parents are player-controlled characters. One is a new character (mother) and the other is an already established character, but shhhhhhh.

Tell that to Batman.

Honestly. Thank you. It completly pisses me off when the battle forums say "Batman is just a human lolz, how is he able to _____. That doesn't make any sense."
Human physiology in the DC universe works different than in real life, but it's just too difficult for them to wrap their heads around that, yet they find a guy who turns green and huge whenever he gets angry (and the angrier he gets, the stronger he gets) completly reasonable.
Semi-rant over.
@hound_of_war: Yeah they (battle forums) would lose their shit over Cass too. Comicbook human is still RL superhuman but there's also the fact that writers arent crafting these terms, labels, and feats based off battle forum believability. And I'm pretty sure the whole Peak Human statistic is a Marvel Exclusive. I dont believe the term is used in any of the DC handbooks and stat based comics.

In comics, you can train yourself to be a superhuman lol
That said I don't really see people arguing over a feat's legitness (If it isn't clearly PIS) just based upon the character supposedly being human .

Maybe that changed then. Use to be a give in with Batman, Snake Eyes, Cass, etc etc Shiva, especially when dealing with Speed and Reflexes that you were going to have to fight off an onslaught of "she's human she cant do that. They're human thats PIS" even though they were feats replicated throughout several publications, writers, and storylines.

It has lol
Most battles people regularly cite those scans of her reacting to bullets and I don't see many people disputing it on that basis.
@nighthunder: nice nice. I think part of that too is she's so well researched now. Everybody has seen the same 5/6 scans. Back in the day she was relatively new (for battles), unknown. It actually amazed me how little people knew about Shiva, David, and Cass Cain. Maybe now the scans have beaten people into submission lol Either way, Thor still sucks :P
@maverick_6: So true.
A lot of what Batman does isn't PiS.
He's consistently ridiculous :]
hahaha I laughed. Batman is still one of my fav characters and I like that he's just "human" hanging with characters he never should (from a story standpoint). But trying to manufacture legit reasons why he can defeat, survive, achieve (insert ridiculous thing here) is a fools gauntlet lol

It only kind of irks me when people say "He's just a human! That's so cool!" When in actuality he's a human, who beats the crap out of gorilla sized guys who can rip a guy's arms off and kick bikes in half. I like Batman even, but I just like him in a way that doesn't really look at him as if he is human. More just a superhuman with human slapped on that has to be tactical. He still has that underdog appeal due to being weaker than a lot of people he fights on paper. But a badass normal I don't really see him as much as, tbh.
Someone like Sokka from Avatar is who I see as totally a normal, Kaenada from Akira or the Punisher before he started eating punches from anti-venom and sentry.
