Ten Ton Hammer: It's been stated that the heroes in Champions Online will be able to create their own archnemesis a villain that constantly wages ware against them. Does that mean there won't be any playable villains in the immediate future for Champions Online? Why was this decision made?
Mosiondz: We are actually looking at the possibility of playing as a Nemesis! This will allow you to take on the role of a villain and fight heroes in special scenarios. We're still developing the rest of the system at this time but we'll be posting more details on our Champions Online website as they become available.
Ten Ton Hammer: What sort of advantages and limitations for powers are planned (or are at least being considered) at this time? Might we see powers that have weaknesses, like the way Green Lantern used to be unable to use his ring against the color yellow?
Mosiondz: The Advantages system is actually a very fun component in Champions Online that allows players to customize their Powers in functional ways. For example, you might be playing a mesmerist type character with the power to control people's minds which allows you to turn enemies into allies. You can then apply an Advantage that empowers your mind-controlled enemy with increased damage, resistance, and speed, making them more powerful while they are under your control.
Weaknesses are something we're still working on, so look for more information regarding them in the future.
