Firestorm Revealed. Update: New trailer

[freerf245]

Got a feeling we'll get a legit trailer later this week.

 

[trufenix]

It seems like we're gonna do the canary / cyborg thing where we hate the new reveal until we see more instead of the ivy and scarecrow who just get hype passes for making it on the roster. I'm good.

 

[RoboCop]

And what do you suppose his moveset be? Do you want him to create objects much like The Lanterns already do and copy them? His powers are obviously extremely strong and most of his ability is pretty incomprehensible in a game like this, if he could do a lot of the things his powers allow he'd be overpowered? How does a brawler like Bane or Batman stand a chance against someone who can create concussive blasts of nuclear energy and render themselves intangible?

You have only seen two or three special moves and understand none of their properties when most characters (including extra gear abilities) have like a minimum of 10 special moves?

Well, since he's not a fire-based character, a step in the right direction would be to give him a power set that's not totally based around fire...

Look at Raven, Fate, Swamp Thing, Lex, MMH, and all of the other amazing non-traditional characters. NRS has a creative team. They could do amazing things with Firestorm's power set. Unfortunately they must have passed his design off onto Randy the intern.

It's a fighting game. Game balance != comic balance, otherwise Harley Quinn would be a red stain on Superman's underwear by now.

 

[StormGoddess]

i wonder if we get this look as gear...

 

[SneakyTortoise]

Thought I'd have a look at the comments on the YouTube page to see if people there have a more favourable impression of them, it seems not

 

[RM Truth]

Never really cared about Firestorm so meh. I'm just sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for the REAL Scarecrow reveal.

How is FIREstorm not a FIRE based character?

 

[RoboCop]

How is FIREstorm not a FIRE based character?

His name is literally the only fire-based thing about him. Well that and his costume.

 

[Kooron Nation]

Well sounds like 'Randy the Intern' made up the name as well.

 

[RoboCop]

Hell, even the Super Friends had a better representation.

 

[Percimon]

WHERE.
IS.
ETRIGAN?!

 

[RoboCop]

A better Firestorm reveal trailer:

 

[DarksydeDash]

Well this was.. Something.

 

[JLU51306]

If his projectile, torpedo, throw, and super are anything to go off of, they appeared to have butched his core concepts in favor of meeting the 'fire-guy' quota. Sure, to the layman and comic book casual, Firestorm must be a fire guy right?

WRONG

Yeah, I'm NaCl-y NRS wasted the oppurtunity to make him a vastly more unique character.

 

[Linkuei82]

Is that the guy from Suicide Squad?

 

[freerf245]

Is that the guy from Suicide Squad?

No thats el diablo

 

[trufenix]

I hope he's just zoner jesus so the online salt at this "horribly underdesigned" character can just be legendary.

 

[The chosen puddle]

On the bright side Grodd is in the game.... that is all we need

 

[StormGoddess]

hmm, male pyromancer tanya

i can see where you are coming from...

 

[JLU51306]

I hope he's just zoner jesus so the online salt at this "horribly underdesigned" character can just be legendary.

He's not underdesigned, he's mischaracterized. C'mon, this is equivalent to Green Lantern being a brawler that hits people with actual green lanterns.

 

[Silver_Shadow]

Is the new Firestorm black in the DC comics or is this an alternate reality?

He's been Black for over a decade now. Jason Rusch/Firestorm, Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle, and Ryan Choi/Atom were all introduced in the mid to early 2000's to help make the DCU more diverse.

 

[HeroesNZ]

I understand the salt but whether he throws fireballs or nuclear concussive blasts, he's catching Damian's hands either way.

 

[RoboCop]

He's not underdesigned, he's mischaracterized. C'mon, this is equivalent to Green Lantern being a brawler that hits people with actual green lanterns.

Wow, nailed it.

 

[MisguidedAngel]

He could turn enemy interactables into ice cream and balloons. Stop overreacting until we know everything.

Ya'll like those nerds who said Canary was a Sonya clone.

 

[trufenix]

He's not underdesigned, he's mischaracterized. C'mon, this is equivalent to Green Lantern being a brawler that hits people with actual green lanterns.

So, the fact that I can google "firestorm dc" and find copious pictures of a guy in this costume being on fire and shooting fire at other guys is a mischaracterization?

You'd rather "FIRESTORM" shoot no fire and instead attack with green lantern style constructs?
