Last October, the Halloween screen went through a few versions. Right now you have the first or second one up where Shadowboxer is a woman, there's some random angel guy and Eclipse is missing completely. The correct one has Eclipse, the correct gender of Shadowboxer and the angel guy is gone. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a mistake.. but the point is that the wrong loading screen is up.
I say stuff and I say things, sometimes together but only when I'm feeling adventurous.
Tis the season.
Wish they'd update all the loading screens especially the /social one and
that one about crafting all kinds of awesome things that cant' be crafted.
Those could use replacing with random pulls from my screenshot folder.
If I remember correctly, the artist got the heroes mixed up and thought that Conan the Angel was Eclipse.
But that brings up the question, just who is this angel guy anyway? There are statues of him at the Battle of Detroit Museum and in Ren Cen. Maybe this can be addressed next year in "Halloween Bloodmoon III: The Fourteenth Hero".
(My theory: In Champions PnP, Vanguard was supposed to be the Champions Universe's equivalent of Superman, yet he is represented in Bloodmoon as an archer with a jetpack. I think this was due to another artist mix-up, and Conan the Angel was intended to be the original design for Vanguard. I mean, why is he even in the wallpaper in the first place?)

I believe they said something about the artist working off of old concept designs. So it's quite possible Eclipse was originally going to be all Conanny with wings, but they changed their minds later. The artist gets a hold of the old concept designs and, presto, Wing Man the WTF is born!

Yeah, I kina heart Conan the Angel and his statues in Ren Cen and memorial park. But exactly who is he? I always thought he was a powerful celestial-powered hero who managed to break free of Tako on his own and now appears as a ghost mentor to other celestial-powered heroes. That's why he doesn't appear in Bloodmoon.
I like the idea that he could be Vanguard, but like what was mentioned before, there's already a vanguard zombie.
