I always thought that was meant to be"Joe Regular" as in... you, the player. Kind of like how they had an image of a generic super hero on the original box art for the game. I've never seen a version of Firestorm that looked like this.
I had no idea either. Had to ask some other folks and the consensus was a Firestorm built with our base gear since we don't have an NPC of him. I think he's the only one where I broke my rule of "only existing NPCs" since we had this rando guy in the original forum avatar set.
I want to ask this as nicely as possible, is their any plans to add any people of color to the avatar list. It’s a pretty fair question to ask as theirs duplicates of some characters but we couldn’t get Static, Cyborg, Black Lightning basically anything?
There's also the Random Super-Speedster Guy with the 2 lightning bolts on his head, a Head Style we don't even have in-game!
Yes. The first wave was to refresh the existing avatars. (Which is why Firestorm looks "new"). I also added Constantine and I think Kid flash because I was working with them for something else. But I also forgot Joker. So not a flawless first wave. However I have characters like Cyborg and Jon Stewart on my list. I have also added Static.
Judging by the last response ^ .. no there wasn’t plans to add people of color, but i said something about it & people backed it so they dont wanna seem racist black lightning, cyborg, john, mr terrific, black manta, icon, steel, kulder, rocket, bronze tiger.... those are all the black characters i can really think of, but i said “people of color” which would also include hispanics asians ect.
Several months ago I had opened a thread asking for suggestions for forum avatars; it has always been my intention to add additional characters beyond the original cast.
Thank you so much for your work. I also love how actively you interact with us players keep up your outstanding work.
If there was a thread months ago and people suggested cyborg, John etc... then why didn’t any make the cut? I mean John, cyborg, man-hunter are fan favs and have been in jla.
This is because the first wave is consist of refreshes of existing ones. Except for Constantine. And Kid Flash. And Firestorm. All the while Joker is missing. He brought Harley away from this too. I expected other characters to be made into icons now but it made me obtuse and now incredibly petty so don't do that.
Wow... until you mentioned it, I had never realized that Firestorm was not in this game. If it's not too late to put in a request... how about showing some love to the OG Teen Titans? I saw a Kid Flash avatar, how about Robin, Wondergirl, Aqualad (Garth) and Speedy?
