Carl the Bat's snazzy addition, come Issue 8

[Creole Ned]

At long last Carl the Bat will have what every bat ought to have:

Wings! Yay!

Neat!

Sweet! Those were sorely lacking.

Did Q design that costume?

[Q]

I dunno, is it award-winning?

[Creole Ned]

Official screenshots have almost always featured "random button" costume choices. Why, I couldn't say.

More on them wing things, which have been announced as a Veteran Reward, can be found here (http://www.cityofheroes.com/community/veteranrewards_wings.html).

I've been playing around with the respecs on test and when I'm zipping around in battle outdoors, I find the wings strangely hypnotic. At first I thought they might bug me by partly blocking my view (they are rather big, as you can see) but that seductive flappity flap flap has won me over.

Of course, Carl will be one of about ten jillion characters with wings once I8 goes live, but he has "bat" in his name. I'm not being trendy, honest! That was me in grade 5 wearing plaid pants when all the other kids were wearing Levi jeans. Okay, so I was a bit ostracized for it back then, but I'm not compensating now. I'm not!

Also, Angry Carrot is not an autobiographical representation.

Anyway, wings are neat.

I'd like to add that Issue 8 is still not on the damn Live servers.
