Howdy folks, brand new here and pumped as can be for this game. Not seeing a lot of love for the villainous side, and I figure I'd throw in my idea to get that ball rolling again. I've got an idea for someone akin the Rogues of Flash's rogues gallery or maybe Shocker from Marvel; Not a cackling madman, just a thief that's trying to use his powers to make a dishonest buck.
My first thought is a good ol' boy from Louisiana, rough upbringing and probably spent most of his life in petty crime after his father lost his job on the oil rig. He probably did a stint in prison before he took off for Titan City for work, only to find out that a redneck ex-con has about as much chance at gainful employment as anywhere else. A stroke of luck blessed him with some impressive powers, however, and now with a fresh set of spandex he's setting out to rob this town blind. Rough, but it's a start. Any other ideas are well welcomed.
Welcome, Rottweiler!
I only have a few characters on the dark side (where the cookies are), but I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Foradain, Mage of Phoenix Rising.

Thanks for the warm welcome :) I've been recently reminded just how much I miss City of Heroes, and much as I like DCUO, it's just not the same. I'm really hoping this game will come through.
Honestly, I will probably play on the side of Villains myself. Maybe not as my White Rook persona as I want to tell more of a redemption story with him/her.
I do however have several villains I want to play and may even start with before exploring White Rook as a character.
I'd love to bring back my Mastermind from CoH. A gang boss and hitwoman who looks after her crew, because it don't matter how rich you are if you got nobody to spend it on.
Alternatively, I have a far more brutal villain in mind. A... hmmm... anarchist isn't the right word, but she is a self proclaimed agent of chaos who despises heroes. She sees them as little more than cops in clown costumes. Agents of the state who keep the little guys and gals (like herself) down.
Maybe he received his powers while breaking into a lab to steal company files, perhaps a subsidiary of EdenTech perhaps in Baton Rogue?
I could see maybe a chlorkinetic or a brute who can give his skin the properties of natural materials, or perhaps stone skin and earth based powers like a Golem?

Yeah, I figured he'd either gotten his powers either by stealing some sorta super serum from EdenTech or Tyrosine, or maybe some guantlets like Shocker's only with cryotech instead of vibroshock.
...and it turns out I'm going to need a new name. Turns out there was already a DC villain named Chillblaine. Pretty sure taking out one 'L' wouldn't cut it on generic.
If you’re set on ice powers and don’t think your character would be too similar to Captain Cold, a name like Deepfreeze, Black Ice, Hoarfrost, Jack Frost, or Yeti could work maybe? Perhaps a he stole a serum or rather temperature regulating gauntlets for rapidly returning a climate or area back to homeostasis, but during the theft there were damages and in Blaine’s case, manifest or rather reduce the temperature of a room rapidly, giving him weaponized cryo gauntlets?
I can see a subsidiary of EdenTech being behind this, of course. Or at least a lab branch in Louisiana, a project to help reduce tropical heat in places where the environment can’t support it?
