    I do agree there are some unfortunate references to 80s action heroes and Jens clearly doesn't know his DC comics as well as he should. Or perhaps he thought hyping up old comic book characters wasn't as exiting. Take away the bandana and the eye of the tiger reference and Jens' unnecessary use of 80s references and there are plenty of weapons that can be seen used in DC comics.

    i do not wish to doubt your knowledge of comics, but I feel you perhaps are not remembering well or may be a bit a prisoner of the moment with Jens' unfortunate references. I have seen dc characters use rocket launchers, grenades, mini guns and well over half of the power set's abilities. I posted a few references earlier, but DC already approved the power so they must have seen a link to their characters as well don't you think?

    ps. trying to be respectful here, no intentional sarcasm, please forgive in advance any perceived insult as it is not my intention.

    edit: Jens if you happen to stumble upon this post I also don't mean offense to you, but I do believe some negative opinions could have been avoided if you had used DC references which do exist. Even the bandana, you coud have made it a Deathstroke style instead of rambo. Just some constructive criticism :)

    I like it. The vast array of weapons and attacks. The live stream was funny, I understood all their references. But the power and skill tree seems a little small, maybe it will be expanded upon.

    I already have a mental / controller whom I would have originally liked to have munitions for. Guess I'll have to stick with the dual handguns. And just make room for another alt.

    Is everybody happy with the mini-nuke animation?

    What if it were launched from some sort of mortar?

    Your comment was fine...... I saw no disrespect or insult in it.

    As for knowledge of comics..... encyclopaedic is sadly somewhat how you could qualify my knowledge of comics. ;)

    Deathstroke comes to mind in some of what you are describing.
    In the early 90s.... Deathstroke had this phase where DC was trying to make it their own version of the Punisher.... then it morphed into trying to make him their own version of Nick Fury.

    So yes... during that time... we did see Deathstroke use various heavy machine guns.

    But they did not use a rocket launcher once used by Deathstroke.....
    They used the one specifically used in Commando when the girl frees up Arnold from the Police truck.

    They did not use a mini-gun once used by Deathstroke....
    They used the mini-gun straight from Predator that Jesse the body Ventura used.

    They did not use the M-60 used by Deathstroke because..... Deathstroke did not use a M-60. It was already an outdated weapon when Deathstroke was the bad azz of the DCU.
    They used the M-60 straight out of Rambo..... heck even with the Iconic Rambo pose when Rambo is firing it holding it with one hand and the bullet sling in the other.

    Sadly... I have an encyclopaedia knowledge of movies as well. ;)

    So yes..... Deathstroke and other DC characters have used various machine guns or rocket launchers through the years.
    But what they used for munitions was specific weapons lifted from iconic moments in iconic movies.
    Not iconic moments from DC comics.

    Let's take the machine gun for example.... if they had used the one from the cover of Deathstroke issue 3 with the same pose as Deathstroke firing it.... I would agree with you.

    But no... they went specifically with not only the M-60 used in Rambo.... but even the stance/pose Rambo used when firing it... which was even parodied in Hot Shots by Charlie Sheen.

    So the various munitions power could be shown to be "inspired" from various iconic moments in iconic movies as opposed to iconic moments in DC comics.

    Hope this makes sense.

    As for DC approving the power.... I have to ask..... how much credibility do they even still have???

    They did not even want us to use Green Auras or wear Green Lantern emblems before War of Light.

    So what do they know??? ;) ;) ;)

    In the broadcast from yesterday, I'm really surprised at how weak mini-nuke was. I mean, nukes vaporize. This doesn't do that much damage.

    Here is a video of Munitions on the test dummies.

    thanks for correcting me, i strictly tank and nothing else so i did not know that. Plus i have only been Gadget (only trolled) Ice and Earth and strictly tanked as both of those powers therefore i never got to experience the DPS side.

    IMO

    hated what i saw.

    the headband is a terrible idea.

    The powerset is very cartoonish with its "eye of the tiger" nonsense etc. maybe its supposed to be amusing or a joke.... thats what i kept thinking during the video. but its not funny.

    and really.... a power that is made up entirely of guns and explosions. thats so macho, alpha, cheesy, and boring.

    some of the guns themselves could look better honestly.

    it technically isnt gadgets 2.0 but after seeing all that i kinda wish it was.

    what makes me angry the most is that this punny gag power will come out with a stronger AM than mental, fire, earth, and sorc. these powers will need to continue to use WM to try and keep up. WHY? why dont they say "hey guys we know that mental and some other powers are a little weak right now and need some pretty important fixes. We are going to fix them, just give us a little time". that would be better than saying/doing NOTHING.

    after i tested it i have to say i am getting really fast bored of it ... channelings arent my style of play as a heavy clipper.

    almost as boring as playing Quantum or Mental AM pressing 1-6 ... even ice , which is boring aswell, has a bit of variety with wm->Supercharge...

    They should have had the character holding a grenade, pulling the pin with it's teeth, and then throw it. Much more Sgt. Rock-ish.

    Funny Side Note: What? No Haunted Tank Trinket?
