So Luminary

See ? The Baron knows how to corrupt even the most valliant heroes :smiling_imp:

Cosmic Cookie-Bot is my source of power.

Luminary feels way more right as the name of alt-Blade than it does as actual-Blade.  Just saying...

Totally agree. In my mind, the Baron Blade we know as Luminary is the alt version. Thats just how im gonna play it in my mind.

Maybe Our Blade met his alternate (technically his sister) and decided to use her name as a sign to our heroes that he was on their side for now

+1 on Luminary appreciation. They should add some subtitle to each one:

"Still a psycho"

"She hates Legacy, but not this one"

Edit: Even the font looks better on Luminary than on Blade.

shrug I just thought the name was there to counter/out-do Legacy’s symbol.

+1

Regardless of the name, has anyone else noticed that the hologram around Luminary's hand is a orbital schematic of the Moon circling the Earth, with a potential impact arc drawn in?

THAT must be why they need Baron Blade on their side. They're going to beat OblivAeon by pulling the moon down to smash it!

 

Not gonna lie, if that's one of the possible ways to defeat Oblivaeon, I'd be ok with it. Science be damned.

Building on UMX266's good idea from another thread, Blade could simply be called "The Baron" now, which would make his alt "The Baroness".  "Luminary" feels like it's trying too hard.

 

Where have we learned that?

We haven't. It's merely somewhat well-founded speculation.

The letters in Baron Luminary's logo are outlined in red, white and blue, a lot like in Legacy's logo.  Why would Blade ape Legacy that way, especially since Blade isn't even American?

"Anything you can do I can do better..."

 

Huh, good question. The dominant colors in all of Ivan Ramonat's costumes are red and purple, with a little bit of white. That looks a little more like purple on the bottom to me. But maybe the colors could be tweaked to make that more obvious.

I'm also not sure where red and purple come from. It doesn't seem to be the flag of Lithuania, unless maybe it's about the historical flag.

This. Also note the L…Y naming scheme.

Blade is the consequence of Legacy, and his whole life is all about besting him, one way or another - and if it is by saving the world BETTER , let it be so.

A luminary is also someone you may want to follow and emulate - and Legacy is an icon that many would follow. This name is all about telling Leg : "I can be YOU, just better". Think about the "Doc.Oc becomes Spiderman but better" storyline.

Another point about the name : "Baron Blade" is surely known by the public as a villain. "I am Luminary ! I am here to save you" sounds better than "I am Baron Blade, I am here to save you !":smiley:

Whomsoever defeats Luminary, if they be worthy, shall forever more be Superluminary.

You know how Chrono-ranger has that card where if other people discard cards then Chrono can draw that many?  I'd love for Baron von Luminary's deck to be full of stuff like that, stuff that helps the team but also mostly helps Blade at the slight expense of the team.  I don't picture Luminaryblade going out of his way to save a lot of people if there's nothing in it for him.
