Firstly, just to note that I'm not a hardcore MMH fan but I'm often advocating for him to be included. I think he's a genuinely decent character, and besides that I feel his inclusion would complete the roster for me. Story-wise this game I see as primarily a Justice League game and it rubs me wrong that a founding member of JL is not included and reduced to stage background (I'm having the similar sentiments towards Black Canary's exclusion). And I would be seriously pissed if we get Scorpion, but no MMH at any point.
1. Yes, shapeshifting should be in. It doesn't need to be really complex, but something like
this would be nice and would showcase that ability. I also don't think he needs to turn into other people. His super-move could go a bit further; he turns into a dragon-like martian creature (like in JL: Doom when he fights Ma'alefa'ak) and whips/slams you around with his tail or something like that.
Another move I'd like him to have is phaseshift teleport where he rapidly falls through the floor and in same manner appears in front or behind you. If they find that teleport similar to Ares' would be redundant, it could also be his trait for dealing with projectile heavy chars. Possibilities are endless.
2. I'm accepting any DC character as a
lowest common denominator. I know that not everything will go my way. As stated earlier, I'm not mad but merely disappointed. Scorpion is one I don't accept and will probably pass on downloading him despite having season pass. Even my friend who plays Scorpion in MK and is not big comic fan thinks it is stupid.
I had my fair share of snarky remarks, but that is just the way I am on the boards and forums. It's nothing serious.
3. I think Boon's recent reaction is acknowledgment that they kinda dropped the ball with first pass. They've seen the flame and now are trying to prevent fire to spread. With recent tweet where he says that he's interested to see who BESIDES MMH is most requested (and with heroes only in poll, there could be a one for vilains), chances for second pass are much higher, but I'm not holding my breath yet.
Am i reasonable enough?
