Okay I need a bit of help. Using my last hero character slot on Virtue.

I've come up with a character named Commander Quantum. His origin will probably be science. as for the AT that's a different story. I need help there.

I also am having a problem trying to figure out a costume for the character and somewhat of what he looks like.

Here's the back story:

The character was an astronaut. He was shot into space and given a trajectory toward going into orbit then coming back to earth for a water landing. NASA decided to revive the capsule and booster rocket idea as a stepping stone toward going to the moon, again. They ordered the character to take a space walk. During the spacewalk they lost contact with the capsule. After re-establishing its location it is noticed the capsule is plumetting toward Earth. Cameras inside show a human shape. So they assume our hero made it back inside okay. Upon splash down and retrival the techs open up the capsule. Inside is our hero only now dressed differently, seems to be physically more muscular and out cold. They will of course wake him up, quarentine, and run tests. Where he will of course demonstrate his abilities. . .(feel free to add in stuff if you want that's the basic story in a nutshell)

Of note on costumes. I like somewhat of a classic look to my characters (huge DC collector). Also I don't like a full over the head mask, prefer the character's hair to be seen.

Good luck. And thanks for the help :)

well....im partial to energy/energy blasters. has more of a cosmic feel.

costume wise...maybe mostly black with yellow or white as the accent colors - again going with the cosmic feel. maybe the wolverine-esqu chest pattern and the leg stripe that goes all the way down to boots. banded boots. banded gloves. chest emblem...a starburst (if yellow as accent colors then star is white and vice versa).

maybe the large goggles colored golden like the protective shield on a spacesuit's helmet.

(shame we dont have cov costume elements for heroes yet)

just my thoughts.

Too bad you haven't opened Peacebringers or Warshades yet :( I think PB makes great cosmic heroes just don't go with the Dwarf or Nova option.

I'll give the costume a try when I get home for you. Also, for the AT, with a name like Quantum, I recomend, but am mildly biased to, the energy blaster as it is my main, but the name seems to fit it.

Yes, I agree with this. I was thinking the same thing about a character I haven't created in-game yet.

But since you need something besides this, I agree that Energy Blasters are the way to go.
The other power that kind of makes me feel cosmic, is Kinetics. So maybe a Kinetics/Energy Defender.

Wish I could open that up but that would mean I would have to work on my husband's character, Super Wench. She's an illusion/storm controller and the highest of the characters on the secondary account (43). But I majorly suck at playing controlers (exceptions being Gravity-Kid and Dusty Allen). My husband has somewhat stopped playing the character and I really have no interest in it.

I'll give this a try and post some pics. Other ideas are most welcome.
