Nope.  She and AZ are not seen battling IL (and I figure that the picture of Paul on Former Allies doesn't yet count as IL anyway).

Otherwise Vis, Unity, AZ, Scholar, CR, O-X, NM don't appear.

Right.

This doesn't take into account promos like YL of B:EoW (or the other ones), and I am not sure if you are also counting Legacy himself. This also doesn't take into account the flavor text, which includes some of those heroes.

Nope, I was just going off art, sorry if I should have specified so (I believe I did say "shown" rather than "stated" or the like).

What's the next question?  (That was not the next question.)

502

In Egyptian mythology, what are each of the Ennead the gods of?

503

Atum = a creator god, described as having come into existence (or always having existed) on a hill in an ocean, and then brought forth Shu and Tefnut, who in turn brought forth Nut and Geb, who in turn brought forth the last four.  To the best of my knowledge, there's no mythological precedent for him being a fire/sun god as he's portrayed in SOTM.

Shu = God of the air, plain and simple.

Tefnut = Officially, she was supposed to be the goddess of "moisture".  The Egyptians, shamelessly prurient as they were, had several theories about how exactly Atum had produced her.  It's probably for the best that SOTM didn't try to be too literal here either.

Geb = God of the earth.

Nuit = Goddess of the night sky.  In mythology, Geb and Nuit couldn't stop shagging each other nonstop until someone (Atum I suspect) physically separated them, creating the heavens and the earth.

Osiris = Ruler of the kingdom of the dead (which is NOT the same as being the "god of death" in a culture as death-obsessed as Egypt).

Isis = Goddess of birth and life.  In many of the myths, she was described as having gathered up the pieces of her husband Osiris and brought him back to life, after he was killed and dismembered by his brother Set.

Nephthys = Goddess of the process of dying (which, again, is not entirely the same as being "goddess of death", though it's closer).  Wife of Set.

Set = God of storms and war.  Generally something of the bad guy in Egyptian myth, similar to Loki in the Norse canon (there were nastier creatures, all-destroying monsters such as Apepi and Fafnir, but Set and Loki were members of the pantheon who should have known better, and were into stirring up trouble just for the sake of doing so - basically they were the Internet trolls of their time, not precisely "evil" but certainly a serious pain in everyone's collective arse).

I'm probably missing a fair number of nuances, but this gives the gist of it.

Whose turn is it to ask a question?

504

After that answer, most definitely yours.

505

Hahah!  But that WAS my question, and you answered it, so now it's your turn!  Escape THAT trap, hero!  cackles evilly

506

Envisioner can’t answer this because it would be too easy for him. Before Hellboy, what was Envisioner’s avatars? HINT: He put up the avatar of his characters in the forum games.

507

Bunker, with some planes in the background I think. 

How many different children are there on Sentinels cards?

508

Ok, I will give it to you, but he also had Chrono-Ranger.

509

Oh, avatars. *facepalm* I should really read the question next time, to make sure I've answered it all...

510

Children, let me see...

Thiago, the Potential Sidekick (Spite's deck)

The Lost Child (Spite again)

One of the occupants of the artwork of Rhapsody of Vigour appears to be a child (Adept's deck)

The Idealist (one of the Sentinels)...or is she an adult with the mind of a child, I can't remember

I think there's a child in Blighted Streets (Rook City)

Another child (possibly the same one from Blighted Streets) is in ohh...what's it called, that card in Iron Legacy's deck where he's overflying the city and a man and this child are hiding around the corner...

 

I've probably missed some, but that's all I can think of for now.

511

Specifically, it's the promotional image used for Bunker's Enhanced Edition divider.  (You can't really see the planes on the divider, but it's still the same picture.)

Interestingly, the same source also showed an image of The Wraith which I've never seen anywhere else, in which she's shown down in a three-point crouch (I think that's the term).

512

You've only missed one as far as I can tell Ameena, but quite an obvious one... :P

513

The Dreamer!

514

Arse. So I did, lol. Can I use "it was gone midnight and I may have been a bit tired" as an excuse? Hmm, no, I think the Dreamer is too obvious even for that ;).

515

Pauline Felicia Parsons on Legacy's card "Next Evolution" is technically a child (or at least a minor) at the time of that picture. 

Also, the child pictured on the Rook City card "Blighted Streets" comes back later in a notable way...

516

Hmmmm…interesting. Might there be a connection here?

517

The man is the same person, and the girl looks very similar, I'd say they are the same.

I wonder on the timing of the images in those cards.  Both pictures have the girl at about the same height, so I don't think there is much time difference, and Iron Legacy doesn't have a huge window of time, so the girl would still be a girl in the main timeframe.  Th only girl we have that could work would be Miranda Fischer.

That could work, the image on Blighted streets could be the death of her father, and the Iron Legacy one could reverse who died, leaving her father with her.  Both girls are Blonde and have similar ear structure (but that could very easily be coincidence, I doubt anyone tries to make sure their characters don't replicate ear structure)  The mask would cover the freckles, so it would be hard to say anything conclusive.

She is either The Idealist or her comeback is not yet revealed.

 

EDIT:  I am the Terror that Flaps in the NIght, I am the forumite who Ninja's your posts!

518

Is that... the Idealist? It makes a lot of sense that her father died in this encounter. If only someone could see more artwork of her to compare the pictures better. *puppy dog eyes at a playtester*

EDIT: Damnit, ninja'ed!

519

The girl is NOT The Idealist.

520

Huzzah! More wild speculation can commence then.

 

But note how Christopher did not say she wasn't the girl on Vigilance, I think I am beginning to understand his tricky ways
