knnhrvy16 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 JAN 13- The Bruin(note the Original Six badge)So he's super-intelligent and a massive animal....he's basically Beast without the blue fur. Beast is one of my favorite X-Men, so I kinda like this one because of the similarities. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only.

knnhrvy16 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Precognition =/= IntelligenceI read "Intelligence depends on PRErecognition", as in he'd be smart enough to know a solution to a problem before he approached it, a preparedness sort of thing. I don't know how my eyes saw "depends", but I guess 12 years with a chronic migraine disorder will do that to you eventually The opinions I express are mine, and mine only.

Drakonius26 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Wow, as least the Bruin was slightly better than the Sabre, but this is an absolute trainwreck of a promotional campaign. I would think that the NHL is above this, but I guess not. Although, I might just tune in to laugh at the ridiculous mascots that will be introduced during the game. I wonder what the Red Wing will be, or the Capital (probably a cheap Captain America knockoff). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Aside from the one piece bathing suite I like the Bruin. I would've dressed him differently, but at least he's not loaded up with goofy equipment ala "The Wild". I don't know whether or not I like the original 6 badge, however. And I don't understand why this promotion grates on some of you so much. I'm doubtful that non-hockey fans are even paying attention and if they are they are not taking it nearly as seriously as some of you. Honestly, I'm surprised this hasn't been done before. It just seems so "Mid-1980's NFL". You know, where The Patriot has soviet seeking missiles and The Redskin, and The Chief are actually portrayed as native americans with some offensively racist super power like being able to command "spirits" or get herds of animals to do whatever they want through mind speak. I'm enjoying this personally. I can't wait for some of the more lamely nicknamed teams to come out. The Islander, The Maple Leaf, The Duck, The Star, The Blue would never be superhero names if they weren't forced to pick them for this. Though, I would subscribe to a comic titled, "The Senator". There's a lot of cool things they could do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 The Duck got leaked:A tad bit disappointed in the colour scheme (mask probably should have been gold, and there's a distinct lack of orange anywhere), and the hair's a bit weird, but aside from that he's pretty cool.

Magnus Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I think the name "The Senator" has potential to be a real bad-ass superhero if they keep the idea of a Roman centurion-type for it.Also, the Blue might be good if it had sonic-based powers, with its main weapon being a power sax/ax.

B-Rich Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 .....You know, where The Patriot has soviet seeking missiles and The Redskin, and The Chief are actually portrayed as native americans with some offensively racist super power like being able to command "spirits" or get herds of animals to do whatever they want through mind speak. LOL. That gave me quite a chuckle, McCarthy.My amused other thoughts on these:1) So many of these characters have "animal" heads. Not masks or helmets, but apparent animal heads: The Bruin, the Wild, The Shark, The Devil, the Predator, etc. What, are they ALL were-people?2) It's hard to tell with the were-people heroes, but are all the Guardians supposed to be white males?3). The bios have some funny points. The Flier has a pet "titanium eagle". Blackhawk's bio says he is an environmental "empathy"(I believe the term is "empath"). I kind of like the way they tie in the heroes' demeanor/personalities to their locale, but they sometimes take it too far: Bruin and Wild are intelligent, because their metro areas are well-read or full of universities? 4)Weird methods of transport-- surfboard for Lightning (dumb) and leaked Duck (not bad); but waterskis for The Shark? Silly. This is the one chance to have a decent Aquaman/Sub-Mariner ocean-based hero, and they give him SKIS? 5) I guess since he is 10 1/2 feet tall and weighs 950 lbs., the Oiler doesn't get cold in Canada while going sleeveless. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 1) I think it's par for the course, given that many North American sports teams take their names from animals, no?2) How many traditional comic book superheroes from Marvel are white males? From this standpoint it seems run-of-the-mill.4) Yeah, missed the boat (groan...) on that one.5) Exposed skin should still lose heat no matter how big a life form is.
