    Inspiration: The Atom, Doll Man, Henry Pym

    Hero: Vortex - A meteorologist with a small amount of telekinesis that he uses to control weather-based effects.
    Inspiration: Elementar from the first City of Heroes novel.

    Nemesis: Thunderhead - In attempting to recreate the accident than gave his colleague, Vortex, weather control powers, Dr. Emil Schumacher definitely missed a decimal point or three. Instead of weather control powers, his experiments changed him into the embodiment of lightning, charring and distorting his body and, oh by the way, driving him absolutely insane.
    Inspiration: Zzzax

    Hero: Contagion - The 13-year old son of the deceased super-villain known as Malignant. He inherited his father's poison powers, but none of his control. He must stay locked in a specially designed containment suit to keep from killing everything around him. Cut off from humanity, he fights crime to make up for his father's misdeeds.
    Inspiration: None. There's not many poison heroes, so I'm always forced to come up with something "original" for those powers. :smile:

    Nemesis: Affliction - Contagion's 18-year old evil half-sister (or so she claims) following in their super-villain father's footsteps.
    Inspiration: The "bad girl" era of the '90s.

    OK, you can have the thread back now. :biggrin:

    Reminds me of the stuff I had to put up with when I began playing, on my trashy card.

    Course, mine was so old and outmoded that some actual objects wouldn't even render.

    It was only a few months ago that I knew what CO's mailboxes and lampposts looked like.

    Oh, yes, I know what I'm missing (from others' pics). Heck, a bunch of the "fine tuning" choices in the costumer don't appear to do anything at all to me and my weaksauce card, drat it. On the other hand, this game at least lets me play. I downloaded DCU Online and when I went to install it gave me the finger and told me to get out of there with that old crap. :p

    The option you're missing is High Quality Lighting. You should turn it to High just for the purpose of screenshots, then turn it back down after. Also, you can turn on "increase quality in costume creator" and take pics in there or at the login screen.

    Hero: Crook Eternal. Crook Eternal, formally John Bigsby, was a mobster who became corrupted by an artifact of unknown power and origin he stumbled upon during a warehouse raid. Due to his frightful appearance and new abilities, Crook Eternal soon became the new head of his Mafia through intimidation. He saves people to make a profit and to make potential allies.
    ybzs.jpg

    Nemesis: Big Ed. Big Ed is the leader of a rival Mafia organization. He will stop at nothing until Crook Eternal is dead, because Crook Eternal is considered a large threat to Big Ed's plans of extending his influence in the criminal underworld.

    Ha! Or rather, how you used to NOT see the game. :tongue:

    When I joined CoX in '06, I was working with a cheap laptop with "integrated graphics" (with 256 RAM on a dial-up with the sound card masquerading as a modem no less). It was horrifying, but I stuck it out and upgraded eventually. This is what it looked like to me then. **cringes**

    try newegg? I've seen some decent cards there for ~50 to 80 dollars which would be a massive improvement from what you have, if the pictures are any indication.

    Hilariously, this is how my CO used to look in late 2011, when it was played on Toshiba laptop with integrated graphic card:

    9kz3mq.jpg
    ogz8e0.jpg

    It was playable with only medium quality reflections, with no postprocessing, no dynamic shadows, medium quality FX, but with high quality lightning.

    CO actually demands only graphic cards capable of shader 2.0 and higher. The rest is more about your CPU and RAM, than about graphic card. With 4GB RAM at least, integrated graphic card in most modern laptops can pull CO with a reasonable look (provided your graphic drivers are up to date).

    Of course, my Toshiba was far from factory configuration. No Toshiba factory software, added more RAM, Win 7 instead of Vista, BIOS and GPU drivers from manufacturers, not from Toshiba. But machine itself wasn't that great.

    Well, Crimson Fury finally put her arch nemesis, the villainous high voltage werewolf Professor Artimus Black in pokey, only to turn around and find Soldat Schrek (an arch foe of her great great uncle i think - big family - WW1 anyway) back from the dead and out for her blood.

    Would you happen to have the costume file for this? Actually, my primary interest isn't the outfit but rather the colors used since I'd like to work on a separate ARGENT character and matching the colors for some enemy groups is difficult.

    Few of my characters share this stunning costume on their nemesis:

    Depends of which hero, it's called either ImHereToGiveYouTokens or FarmMe or something like that. Choice of minions is absolutely random, and the only criteria for powersets are - which one makes for the weakest nemesis.

    Alright! these threads are always fun.



    here we have Fright Knight, Hudson city vigilante who was named after the Headlines of his first battle against the criminal elements, a daring attack on several powerful organized crime bosses, all in attendance of a Halloween party.



    and here we have one of the survivors of That fateful halloween massacre, a former agent of The vicious Crime Lord known as "Card Shark", The gang leader known as "Jack of Knaves" has currently fled to make his own name in Millenium city.

    As you can see from the screenshot, he's currently using mercenaries as his hired muscle, But as an enterprising criminal organizer he is capable of hiring various types of henchmen, usually Thugs, Mafioso and Ninjas.

    Haha, talk about a necropost. Still, I hadn't seen this thread before and I like the idea, so I'll post as well.

    Sadly I'm a lazy chump who only has one character high enough level to even HAVE a nemesis, but I'll post them anyway.

    Our hero, the mighty miniature Russian dynamo that is Hammerfist.



    Standing shy of 5 feet tall, how will this angry ball of ex-Soviet muscle stand against her first nemesis, a man she once called comrade, now a savage mountain of power armor with an enormous grudge against Hammerfist's betrayal of their once proud Soviet nation?

    Tremble before the indomitable will of Stalingrad.

    I have a few questions: how does everyone here take and save such clear screenshots of their nemeses and toons in the editor? Do you just screenshot via Steam or something and then clean it up in a image editor?

    Anyway, I've really only put together one nemesis for many of my heroes: The Quark Zombie.



    Born in a freak explosion of a high energy physics experiment and only known to a small number of supers, themselves refugees from destroyed universes, the Quark Zombie is a Lovecraftian, radioactive, pandimensional monster. Set on "correcting" the physics of entire universes with a device called the "M Catalyst," the Zombie's experiments have lost the M Catalyst and have destroyed roughly 24 universes so far.

    Now its roaming around in the Champions multiverse looking for the lost tool. Here's hoping it never finds it!
