    Movies have Script Supervisors to catch visual mistakes (ex. the Porsche in Commando being destroyed one scene and fine in the next...ok, bad example) I think D3 needs someone like that for this game. Obvious ones include the aforementioned Human Torch taking damage from a flamethrower. Someone mentioned the Hulk taking damage from any type of bullet. I guess technically Ares should be invincible as he is a God...ect ect...

    Yeah, or we could just not. That would probably be better.

    official line is that it's an ISO-8 powered flamethrower

    because ISO-8 is the explanation for everything icon_e_smile.gif

    I'm going to stick with my go to example in these situations:

    In a world in which the Punisher somehow controls the fire from a lobbed molotov cocktail with his mind... the Human Torch can be taken down with a flame thrower.

    Or

    In a world in which web fluid shuts down mutant healing factors...


    I'm sure we can think of some more...

    I should say, of course I would love character specific resistances and immunities but there is so much other stuff that needs to be worked on first.

    He's not unstoppable if you take off his helmet.

    That's what happens every time you stun him: your move took off his helmet, and he has to stop to put it back on.

    That's a lot of helmet juggling... on, off, on, off, on, off again... If I were the Juggernaut, I'd find a way to attach it better icon_e_wink.gif

    Well, not really, his helmet doens't make him unstoppable, it just protects him from psyonic/mental attacks (like Magneto's helmet). He is unstoppable ever, but I think what his power needs to work is to have the foot ON the ground, like the blob (who is unmovable). But then in more than one comic a very powerfull blow like one from Thor or Hulk has stopped him icon_razz.gif

    Indeed, that guy should have "protection from red" or from flame stuff at least...

    Jugg's powers are actually mystical. He found some magic gem and now he's the avatar of Cyttorak. He is unstoppable as long as he's in motion, though there was one time The Hulk (as War, horseman of the Apocalypse) was able to physically stop him.
