io9. We come from the future.

It's cause there were a lot more of them in the prequels so the Conservation of Ninjutsu trope came into play:

Naw, it just felt... weird. Also he didn't have his kingdom to rule at the beginning. IIRC he went through a 'King of the Hobos' phase shortly after his transformation.

And it's weird that it felt weird cause Ellis made a lot of other radical deviations from the 616 but they all felt really inspired and fun. This aspect of the inaugural run fell kind of flat in comparison.

I notice all three books were released within 2011. Were they written with SW:TOR in mind? #observationdeck

I think it's just supposed to be a kid who happens to like Cap.

So...

Revan lives!

That was the first hair raising experience I had with the game, since I wasn't expecting such a major tie in with the last 2 games.

Anyhow my questions are:

The scars on his face are from post-KOTOR1 events right? Also does it imply that his current face isn't his original one? It seems like a creative solution to let (some) people say that it's still their Revan even if he doesn't look like the one they originally played as.

Also the Jedi ghost that helps guide you to him is supposed to be who?

I thought it was Bastilla, but then I read elsewhere that it's supposed to be the hero character from KOTOR2. And if so, were the circumstances of her demise covered in any major tie-in media?

Actually, I also have a 3rd question, if I want to fill in the major blanks between KOTOR1, 2, and TOR, what are the very essential texts? #observationdeck

Hey io9 people, my knowledge of Star Wars canon pretty much extends to the movies and the few games I've played over the years, so I have 2 questions in the reply about some things that happens in the Old Republic games, or at least the gaps between them.

Specifically they revolve around a story event that happens at the end of a SWTOR Republic Flashpoint, circa lvl 35, where you break into an Empire prison and break someone out.

I tried sifting through Wookiepedia but couldn't find concise answers.

Spoiler Alert if you haven't played the missions I'm talking about...

I wasn't talking about any personality aspects though, just the physical ones. And human-maximum olympic-level descriptor is just his average performance level; he has and can exceeded even those estimations on occasions.

And going back to this list, I'm gonna have to say that is still better than the ability to involuntary shrink and grow, hallucinate about vague prophecies, or to randomly lose you memory (I actually have no idea why the Aeon Flux drug is here based on the limited description given).

I think it's generally a toss up for non-Inhumans and the Inhumans as well, but the I.H. have a better understanding on who in their population can use it.

I think having the physical fortitude and acumen to stand toe to toe with and against the best and the worst the universe has to offer is nothing to sneeze at, and is arguably preferable to some of the effects of the drugs on this list.

Wasn't that what Johhny Quick was using to become Earth-2's Flash equivalent?

The Inhumans treat the inhalation of the Terrigan Mist as a sacred rite of passage, but we all know it's just a fancy way for those uppity royals to huff fumes and get some semi-dope powers out of it, sometimes they even bring their pets along for the trip.

Venom not so much...

Super Solder Serum also does an all-American body good.

Wakanda's finest herb

That looks vaguely familiar. Where is it from?

I was gonna say that Kyle's already had experience dealing with a spaceship the size of a solar system, or 2, but I suppose that's up in the air in this new continuity.

Actually, if we can delve into the Ultimate verse for examples, I think that Doctor Doom's original design in the Ultimate verse, courtesy of Warren Ellis, was a lot weirder of a Doom makeover than the skinsuit in the 616, and maybe just a bit longer lived.

Instead of armor, Warren Ellis established that Ult. Doom's skin itself had transformed into metal which had some limited shapeshifting properties. Also Doom's internal organs had become obsolete and started to decay, or something, so he exhaled poisonous gas. And the Pièce de résistance of his N-Zone makeover: his legs were transformed into cloven hooves (cause the name Doom was too subtle an indicator of evilness?).

1:1 would be fine, provided we can still fast travel and there were a lot more options to get around.

Like I would like to be able to capture a bunch of wolves and train them to pull me around on a sled, or enslave people to carry me on a rickshaw.

And of course, you'd need to add more location to fill up the expanded gaps between places.

A.J.'s TIME TRAVELERS!

No, Tony ended up cutting the rings off of his spine with a laser, so I think Mandarin learned it's better to wear them on a less secure part of his body, even if they do occasionally slip off.
