It has been said that heroes need villains just to exist. Without villains, they would not be able to be superheroes.

Truth, is some superheroes enjoy being superheroes. Some of them, I dare say, a little too much.

Enough that, were ALL the supervillains locked up or restrained, they would break them out to fight them again.

So, name the heroes you think that would do this? Because if they don't, comics would be a total utopia, and we can't have that? Can we?

Put the heroes would allow a utopia, and the ones who would make it their aim to break out the villains just to fight them.

Personally, I think Bats is extreme enough to break out the villains to fight them.

So who would and who wouldn't? Name some names. The ones that would I would classify as crazy. At least compared to a normal Earth (real human).

@awesam:

You have to buy a rocket launcher with points.

Even though environments are free roaming, radar shows finite areas as battle areas. Sure you can battle in non-battle areas, but you won't get ANY points for upgrades if you do.

Battle areas where you get points would be limited, so a flyer who flew away automatically will lose points they earned.

So flyers would have incentive to stay around and risk their lives, to get points to upgrade.

@awesam:

Not really, because gadgets like rocket launchers are are available.

And due to newtonian maneuvers for flight, it isn't a simple matter of doing banking turns to evade missiles. The only way to change direction is with vector based thrust (a super power) with the flight power.

@awesam:

I did. DC universe does not allow for flight battles (people flying and battling in the air only).

DC universe slows your travel speed during combat.

My concept would allow you to fly full speed during combat, as well as use any other travel powers at full power.

Here is my idea for a new superhero MMO

Flight characters: Have full range flight abilities all the time, even during combat time. However, flight is not like the flight your used too.

Flight is thrust vector based. Which means you will keep moving in a direction until you apply counter thrust (just like zero G). That should give the non-flyers a fighting chance. You can increase your speed over time with points, but initially it won't be super high speed. But the speed will cap eventually.

Speedsters: Will exist, and can use their speed as much as they wan't, but they will require recharge times for instant speed moves.

Super strong characters: Will exist too, having the ability to jump really high.

Blasters: Will exist, will have the best ranged combat in the game. The downside is they lack the durability of the other archetypes as well as the travel abilities.

Energy Wielders: Think guys like Magneto, basically a cross between a flyer and a blaster, not doing either as well as the true archetypes of flight or blaster. Yet they do have really good area attacks for short ranges. Moving stuff via wind, telekinesis or magnetism.

The main difference between this MMO and the popular ones is the flight system and combat system.

Normal MMO's nerf travel speed during combat, but this concept would not do that.

The flight system would be different, but I think it would make for some interesting flight battles.

You could also add vehicles to characters who don't have travel powers. Or you could buy travel powers with points. Vehicles are cheaper to buy than powers.

@retconcrisis:

New 52 obviously, given that supergirl is new 52.

Jobberseid? That must be a joke version LOL.

What the?

Face palm.

Do have any idea how many altars on this world Batman already has? People build shrines to him in their closets, or on their walls. Bat-man, like it or not, is a god already.

How much more street cred does he need?

Aqua-man

Emma Frost

Supergirl

Magik

Miss Marvel

Moonstone

Sentry

Thor

Could this team work?

Or would their ego's totally make teamwork impossible? Not to mention bad blood between so of them (Marvel and Moonstone were enemies before).
