Sharing Some of My Superhero Creations in City of Heroes/Villains

Since diving back into City of Heroes/Villains via the Homecoming server, I’ve found that the game mostly holds up. The user interface and sound design have aged well, but the gameplay feels slow-paced. However, as always, I find the most fun in CoH’s character creator. There are a dizzying amount of options and costume pieces, meaning you can really let your imagination run wild.

So I thought I’d share three characters I created this weekend. Note that they’re all “Rogue” characters and have yet to become either Hero or Villain.

“Greenus”

“Greenus” is a gothic dark energy-wielding character inspired by Tim Burton and old renditions of the Joker.

“Infernus”

One of my stronger character creations and certainly the one that took the longest. I spent many hours deliberating over one costume piece versus another.

He’s a Fiery Mastermind who wields a flame whip and summons hellish beasties to do his bidding.

“Insectus”

I hit the “randomize costume” button and got a monstrous ninja-looking girl with a face ventilator. I dug her Mortal Kombat vibes so I polished/honed the costume and got this. She’s a “Stalker” (stealth) character who uses a staff and ninjitsu to defeat her foes.

Have you toyed around with CoH’s character creator at all? If so, feel free to share your creations in the comments!
