I was an IT... Computer geek all the way. My job (when not humping on VBSS patrols) was setting up the SATCOMs with SNAPVSAT2 units. Then I doubled up as communications (being that I had email and network capability).

eh, i dont think giving the sniper and assassin a one-shot kill ability is very complicated as long as:
A. It can only be used once per game B. It can be blocked by attentive medics and/or swats. This would make it a devastating tool if it can be pulled off, but unless your team is sleeping or inattentive, i don't see it hitting very often. a definite long shot. I can tell you, when i played pilot, its hard to get a hit like that to stick! |

I don't think i'll do well in the army.
The moment one of those instructors yell at my face, i would bite his nose off! Sign me up as a Unglorious basterd, and i'll be fine Quote:
I'm the kind of guy that likes the hero. Luke Skywalker, Boromir, Herakles...those kind of heros. They fight to the end, but they have weak moments they fall...only to rise again, strengthened. I wouldn't choose Supes...he's quite upthight and arrogant, selfish at times. Batman is much more of a hero than him willing to sacrifice him in no time if it get things right. A good example is when he fight Darkseid hand to hand, knowing there's no chance for him, but he does anyways cos he know he's buying time. Same for Wolverine. He's not an antihero at all, he's just rough. The issue when Magneto strip off his adamantium, and he returns from death just to save Jean almost made me cry.

Units like that were actually the beginning of SpecOps. But unfortunately, they don't just dump you into that sorta thing. You gotta be able to take an @ss kickin' to deliver one.

Batman is definitely an antihero though, as is wolverine. They put their obsessions above all else. I'm not saying they don't do good, that they don't help folks, but hero....i dunno. |

I would agree Bats has become more anit-hero as he was originally designed to be, he used to carry a gun in the beginning. Wolvie is anti-hero as well. Trouble is, if you takes Supes personality now compared to his back in the early years they aren't even close, same with most characters, so a lot of them go from hero to anti-hero and back again. How many of them have died and returned from altiverse??

point made, the ultimate deciding factor is writer at the time of examination. But, if you look at their personalities in aggregate, Supes is definitely a boy scout hero. May not be "edgy" enough for some, but it's good enough for me.
The world needs more boy-scout good guys. |
