Well I guess I'll put my two cents in as well, he didn't specify what kind of metal, if it was some lightweight metal such as Titanium (assuming I remember my metals correctly at least) or something else like that, that could also make it more realistic. Though so long as he isn't unstoppable, I say let him have his fun. And, knowing the rest of you, you can figure out ways to stop him if you need to.

Nope, he's heavy (Almost half a ton)

I'd say he's far from it. That's the problem with super strength. Unlike other mutant powers, you can use it in multiple forms and creativly, all you can do is lift heavy stuff.


But, he should probably get rid of them anyway.

According to his bio, he had the metal turning power before the Big Bang. After the Bing Bang, he grew wings. That's wrong though, since you can't have had powers before the Big Bang. So, before the Big Bang he would be a normal human, then he gets a mutant power (His first one was Metal Man, not Wings, so I would assume it would be the former).

Alrighty then...yah I see your point, being that heavy you would need some sort of propulsion(sp?) or other dormant/linked power that activates when the wings flap. Well depending on how strong he is, if he is Dragonball Z/YuYu Hakushyo strong then he can do things with that strength besides the lifting up of heavy things, though I seriously doubt that. Well he could have had that other power, assuming he has a good reason such as genetic experimentation or some other kind of accident.

I didn't see the thing as to not having powers before the explosion. That's easily changeable. So, he has the powers after. No big deal.

Even though he's 900 pounds, think of how strong those wings would be in his form with the super strength. They are still controlled by muscles, and are made of VERY durable metal.

Although...everyone seems to be forgetting one highly important thing...metal conducts electricity. That's something to work with there, no?

And, let's say he couldn't lift off with his wings because of space or lack of propulsion, he could simply jump in the air. 'nuff said.

I think that settles it, yes?

I've taken a look at some of the other posts he has done in sign-up threads, IHMN apparently likes things as realistic as possible. Like I said, so long as you ~can~ be beaten I don't have a problem. Besides, look at my character's power, he can stop your guy pretty easily and everybody else can figure out their own ways to beat you. I just have the easiest way to do so. Though on an side note, I would love to see how damn big these wings are :D .

He should have to jump off a building or something and hope that he gets enough with resistance before he even has ideas of being able to fly.

Edit - And Zor, any metahuman can beat his guy. The only person I see have a problem is the video game guy.

What's your problem with my guy IHMN? I don't have problems changing him somewhat but I'm not completely redoing him.

Also on a side note I have to agree with IHMN on his flight in order to get something that weighs 900 pounds off the ground he would have to have A VERY LARGE Wing Span, also he would need an incredable propolsion system.

I don't see his powers as that much of a threat. I doubt he will be carrying around Arcade machines so he can suck out some items to use as powers, and some games offer worthless crap (Tetris blocks wont' do much, and there isn't anything he can use from Megaman Power Battles at all, since all of the robots are human size or bigger, and I'm pretty sure none of them use items).

Edit - I don't have anything about him, just he doesn't seem very powerful, unless he happens to have a nearby video game that has something very good in it, and then all you have to do is disarm him and it goes away.

I see a problem with this "Jump into the air so he can glide" thing. just leaping into the air to glide wouldn't work that well.

1. you would have to attain a really high jump in order to find the high level air currents.

2. Just being in the air with a glider isn't gonna make you glide, you have to either have a very strong wind behind you, or get a running start, building up your momentum beforehand. With your character, I would guess that at 900 lbs, he would have to be running pretty damn fast to get airborn.

In my opinion, I think that the wings for flight are a little much, and physically impossible. I concure with the "Glide" opinion. you could have your character climb a good sized building in order to attain flight by gliding, and then just take it from there.

I chose the tetris block because I thought it would be funny to see someone get beat over the head with one. And I said nothing that wasn't much larger then him. So if you'r thinking megaman power battles hey would beable to say take megaman's gun and armor becoming megaman so to say until he decided to stop. Don't worry they're are plenty of games he has. On his laptop he has emulators and billions of ROMs so I'd say he has a wide arsenal of weaponry.

Don't worry about my guy buying underpowered, I can be very creative.

The Megaman thing isn't taking an item out of a game, he is taking apart a character. And Megaman's gun is his arm, it doesn't go over his arm. It would destroy your arm and replace it. Same with the armor.

And it's not really being creative when your taking things from games...

He can take things from any digital data not just games. Games are just a simple ready place to find what he needs.. Also he doesn't remove data, just copy it to the real world.

And I wasn't saying I was going to do that just giving an example. But I see your point however that doesn't stop him from taking other objects.

How about this: we stop the bickering on people's powers and let things be.

I can just as easily go after someone and prove how his power isn't possible, or how it's wrong and shouldn't have as many uses. I guess, according to you guys, that a dragon should not be able to fly, then?

And, by the way, his wings would have a span of at least 15 feet (that actually is scientifically proven. Don't ask me, look up what size wings a human would have to have). Given his height (weight has NOTHING to do with it -- he possesses the muscle strength for propulsion, and the metal has the durability), he would have wings with a span of 15-20 feet. That really should settle that.

Another thing, a guy that can punch holes through men isn't as easy to beat as you are claiming. But, he can be beaten. Just like everyone other one of you. The fact that someone says a particular character is easier to beat than his own is, in fact, a moder, not the original person.

Lastly, I will say that I've been RPing online alone for close to 4 years, and know enough of how things work. In other words, I'm saying that no one should be criticizing me, 'cause I can do a whole lot worse to you guys.

Personally, I think everyone should quick the goddamn arguing/bickering/complaining and have some fun RPing. 'nuff said, eh?

Since several people seem to dislike the wings thing, maybe you should just drop it.


You're sure doing a good job in trying to stop that, what with the "I am a better, more experience RPer then you" and the "Leave me alone, but I will still argue, but still leave me alone anyway" attitude.

If you really wanted to stop all this, a better way would be to just drop the wings.

I got nothing against the "Wings" thing. I just have a problem with the "Flight" thing. Gliding would be perfectly fine in my books.

Otherwise we're getting into the whole "Thrust" thing, and next thing you know the wings will be like a birds wings: flapping in order to keep himself airborne. God knows that wouldn't look right. Plus he would have to keep them greased... It all just gets too complicated.

And? The fact that people here have powers alone is in defiance of everything we know to be true. If someone has wings that he can use like a bird, what does it matter?

And, IHMN, it's my character. Not yours. I've used him before in actual table top RP (Mutants and Masterminds) and it was perfectly fine. In fact, he also had lightning control. I didn't give him that, because that's just...unfair. Giving a guy the ability to fly is no big deal here. So...how about this: My character, not yours. He stays the way I made him. How's that?

If he had bird's wings fine, but metel? can you imagine a plane flapping its wings to get airborne? Guh.

And the noise of metal on metal. augh! a terrible screeching every time he took flight.
:D

My point isn't so much that it is impossible, this is a fantasy world after all. I merely am saying that it would be akward.

Edit: Never give him an opening buddy.

Your character, but he's in an RP that I am in. Your character affects my character. If I have a problem with something, then I will say it.

Aye, it is a little bit awkward. It is however, a very flexible metal (like Omega red's carbonadium tentacles. They were VERY flexible) That still doesn't mean there is no noise. There's definitely the...screetch of metal on metal every so often. I think that covers it. O,o

Edit: That's definitely fair, IHMN. However, to want me to completely alter my character really isn't that fair, especially since wings aren't groundbreaking things to have. They're not wings of uber-destruction, nor do they shoot beams of energy. They merely allow him to fly. That's about it. Plus, he has to have some sort of elevated position, since it would take him forever and a day to just lift off from the ground, unless he lept upward...

Yeah.

I read that wrong the first time.

I thought it said:
"like Omega red's carbonandium testicles. they were VERY flexible."

XD

Edit: 'Told ya not to give 'em an opening. :D

::cracking up laughing:: That woulda been a fuuuunnnnnny typo!!!

What was Stan Lee on when he made that character!

They also call him 'Big Red'.

'Nuff Said!

::laughing:: I wonder what the BIG is for...heh eh. Grade A, SAAM. Grade A, man.

Probably the same thing he was on when he created Striperella.

...With special guest appearances by Big Red, Cyclopse and his One eyed monster, and Doc Ock will take on a Japanese schoolgirl!

::cracking up laughing again:: Absolutely brilliant!

And cameo appearances from: The Beast and Wolverine, rabid slaves of love.

...With the Punisher to teach them all about submission, and Mr. Fantastic... cause you know he got his name somewhere! :Wink wink:
