Featured Hero #50
Name: Lady Abigail
Origin: Magic
Archetype: Scrapper
Primary: Broadsword
Secondary: Regeneration
Server: Victory
Abigail Talonfist is from another dimension and from another time era. She came to Paragon City not by choice but through a desperation attack that caused her life. While she lived in the 13th century in her homeworld, she was a warrior sorcerer bent on getting revenge for her fallen comrades hunting a local murderer, instead she got both the comrades murderer and an otherdimensional being at that. Though the murdering wizard escaped, Abi had to deal with the Envoy of shadows. Through a bloody scuffle, her last attack changed her forever. Now in Paragon she awakens from a tombstone in Moth Cemetery as a living spectre on a new path of destruction...to wage war agaisnt the CoT.

With finally stopping the CoT, Abi now tries to find her way back home. She presently has stepped down as a super hero in order to help MAGI research magical artifacts that may send Abi back to her right time and dimension,but when called to action by her peers, The Nocturnal Misfits, or other heroes in need, she takes up her mantle and sword to put a stop on peril in Paragon City.

New Costume Change Emotes

As you may know, I15 is supposed to bring us a bunch of new Costume Change Emotes. Not connected to the Magic Booster Pack, these should be available to all:

Salute
Evil Laugh
Howl
BackFlip

Looks like Peacebringers and Warshades will be able to use their respective 'explode' emotes as a Costume Change Emote, too...but my personal fave is the "Vanguard Sigil"...



Too sexy.

EDIT: Odd, the embedded video is not showing up when this post is viewed in the community's style. If for some reason you aren't seeing it, you can find it here.

TenTonHammer on I-15

It's official... I'm convinced this is Positron calling me out for telling him during I-14 beta that I was retiring from making trailers for the game.  First they post the whole "Going Rogue" thing, and then THIS shows up.

http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/68412

I'm not posting the text, because it's the PICTURES that really make it look fricking sweet.  A revamped Omega Team Time Capsule, City Hall being invaded, SOMETHING big and glowing and weird in the middle of the Fifth Column, and... the Reichsman. 

DAMN YOU, POSITRON!

Issue 15 Overview.

Issue 15: Anniversary

Content copied-and-pasted. )

The primary aspect of I15 comes as a surprise to few, I suppose. And I see the devs still have not yet properly learned the secrets of the apostrophe.
