High Flight
John Gillespie Magee, Jr
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

The one and only time I logged into DCUO, I took Flight and immediately was smitten with the freedom it provided. I had forgotten how great it felt to be able to swoop around and see stuff. It just made me miss Paragon City all that much more.

This is as close as I could get to Black Falcon in DCUO. I did not stay very long in that game. But the flight was pretty good.
They just kinda gave up on the costumes. and super strength there was a joke.

Let me see if I can dig up an original Cobalt to compare to DCUO...
I'd say it's pretty close.

I actually like your DCUO toon better. the Black and Blues work together. and the ring really stands out.
This is BF in COH. Face 100% better. better emotes too!

Yeah, I wasn't really known for my great costumes as they were usually very basic in appearance and color palette (e.g. blue). It wasn't until later that pieces were available that I found aesthetically pleasing for a costume that I was very content with. In fact, it became my de-facto costume for all my end-game Incarnate Cobalts.
