Lincoln Green

Look what I found while digging through my DVD archives, Lincoln Green the toon I created for Champions Online. Ah yes Lincoln Green, a great character wasted on a very very bad game. I'll try to find my old City of Heroes and City of Villains toons, I know that I definitely archived a ton of pics from those games.

The most interesting discovery I made while playing these games, was the fact that I more readily identified with the gray morality of supervillains and mad scientists, than I did with the cookie cutter morality of a superhero. In fact I don't think I've ever been able to identify with superheroes, I like seeing myself culturally mirrored in minority superheroes, but that's about it. Interestingly enough, most of the best written minority characters in comics tend to be villains.

David Brothers from 4thletter! has an interesting post on the subject of Superhero morality here.
