    Also composites would be good. Note, for example, how Captain America has stars in some places and strips in the others.

    Other great America symbols to have would be the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty and a silhouette of George W. Bush.
    Superhero stories, done well, are about modern archetypes.

    Ok I don't know if this is a serious post or a sarcastic one, but I'll agree with this post. Having 3 patriotic toons (General Freedom, Major Liberty, and Captain Glory) its hard to come up with unique looks for all of them using the options we have. Only 2 emblems that could be used, the Star 1 and Star Shield, and the Star chest piece from the Golden Age cossie set don't make for a lot of options. Also we have Flag speed, why not Flag flight?

    Essentially, if any costume skin gets a pattern, all pieces and parts of the body should get it too.

    Hey how about patriotic heroes from the rest of the world.

    Lets have some bits of other common flags too. Union Jack for Commonwealth countries, 3 colour fields both horizontal and vertical that covers a massive proportion of the worlds national flags right there, Southern Cross with two colour fields so it can make both Australian and New Zealand flags.

    This request comes up a lot, and it is a shame we're not likely to see it happen. Especially when you consider that some other MMO's have things like flag capes/cloaks in them.

    From experience, Smoochan is mostly likely being half sarcastic and half serious at the same time with this topic.

    Indeed. This is not a new suggestion.

    Currently the only ones currently in the game are the Stars & Stripes travel power and the Canadian chest emblem. Why Canada gets so much freaking attention when the UK, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, China, etc. get none is beyond me... Yet another easy opportunity to make money wasted.
    Do you have several level 40s?
    Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
    Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
    Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
    Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)

    I'm fairly sure that the chest emblem currently has more flags than just Canada. I posted a rather tacky superhero with a union jack on his chest a short while ago.

    There are flags for pretty much every country in the "flag" section of the chest emblems.

    As for regular emblems, things like Canada's maple leaf and USSR hammer&sickle are here because they are also used as npc parts. Maple leaf is used by Justiciar, and soviet symbols by Red Witer.

    There's also the fact that Windsor, Ontario, is just the other side of the river from Millennium City. (It's the city you can see just beyond the giant crashed Qularr mothership that never seems to get cleaned up - I'm assuming it's US/Canadian jurisdictional disputes slowing the process.) So it wouldn't be surprising to see a fair number of Canuck supers coming across the water to join us, especially when the Lemurian Invasion gets going. (If I could think of a better hook than, "He's from Canada!", I'd make one myself for the occasion.)

    Mostly because it's a commonly known fact that only Murrican people have the courage and moral integrity to become superheroes. Every other part of the world is only able to spew out supervillains. Geez, dont you read any comics? :rolleyes:

    There *are* other country's flags as chest options, but I would like to see some glove, chest, pants, and cape patterns that follow the typical stripe/angled line pattern found in many countries' flags.

    An example of this would be to have a New Zealand hero have the union jack on his left glove and the four stars on the right one.

    As an Englishman I would like more generic "English" symbols such as a cup of tea, the crown (as used in Keep Calm and Carry On), a rowing boat, crossed oars, crossed knife & fork, a life belt, a black pudding and a whippet.

    The simplest solution would be a "tricolor" costume set, including simple tights, boots, gloves and partial masks with vertical, horizontal, cross, "X" , roundels and stars patterns with at least three color options and possibility for making asymmetrical color selections (like blue on right stripe, white on the central one and red on the left stripe of chest tight).

    It would be a very simple set to do, as it would require only new textures for already existing skin-tight models. But pretty much every national themed costume could be made with such set.

    Also, a simple emblem in the form of big roundel made from concentric circles with all four color channels. Again, pretty much every national emblem could be made from it - from the Japanese hinomaru to the UK RAF symbols.

    /signed for American costume pieces and other countries' costume pieces as well; the Tricolor idea is a great one, and I think it's sad that more costume pieces do not use all four colors.

    Words that have s, i, g, n, e, and d are fun to write! You should all write some s i g n e d words too, yaaayyy

    I keep on wanting to make a unarmed brawler patriotic superhero, simply called The Patriot, and I even had one on one Alt-itis period, but the few available selections I can see kinda... don't work for the simple concept I have in my head that makes sense for something that gets repaired often and doesn't have a lot of accessories.

    A flag facial tattoo would be very patriotic.

    I've been asking for years for something like this for both tights and capes, but so far it hasn't materialised yet. Which is a shame.
