I could live with that. Name doesn't quite fit the actual story context (no I dont have a better alternative), but I know the Justice League Detroit reference is the more important thing for you you there, and probably better since that's part of the point of the power itself.

Yeah, I think if we steer too far away from a JLD reference, the class call-outs cease to make sense.

[IAmBatman]

OK, so seems we've gotten to a place where the design is acceptable.
@LordVenoc what would you find acceptable here in terms of a mini?

Something like "Detroit Justice" seems a little, ehh, mobster-ish for a character that's so cartoony. Maybe "Detroid Legacy" or "JLD Legacy" or "Detroit's Hero" or something? I dunno, spitballing.

I do like the power (as someone who has only vague knowledge of that era of the League and no real interest in reading any further), and I'm glad we're getting classic Vibe! I think it'd close enough to the New 52 version that I don't mind a "squint and count for both" iteration here with one mini, but I'm a "one design instead of two" guy, so New 52 Vibe fans may say differently.

[IAmBatman]

He was a member of a street gang. It's not "mobsterish," it's "street." And in what I (as someone who grew up in Michigan) see as cornball puffery (especially since the dude dies to give you the bonus).

Also Justice is obviously a shout out to Justice League Detroit, which is the reasoning for the set of Classes.

There's no way this guy scans as New 52 Vibe in terms of power set. I learned that in the OTHER Vibe thread. New 52 Vibe deserves his own incarnation, but I won't be LDing it.

I'd love to just use the New 52 Vibe mini here, but it all comes down to what folks find acceptable or not. I know you will all voice complaints if you have them at some point in the process, so I'd rather know now than in Final Editing.

Am I the mini police now?

The mini is close to both iterations, so go for it.

More the Vibe police.

Cool, I'll go forward with the Clix Vibe then. I'm glad it's reusable for a New 52 Vibe if anybody ever wants to run that guy.

Actually reflecting on you being pro-trunks, I guess I'd understand you asking what is an acceptable uniform look.

Don't act like I'm the outlier on that issue.

Trunks and trucker hats are the key elements of any superhero costume!

Also the underrated cat hat

SP updated. Need to run checklists and try the calculator with the changes, but I’m happy with this direction.
